About this property

Point Robinson Lighthouse - Keeper's Quarters A

The island's own lighthouse station offers weekend and week-long stays in the two renovated keepers' quarters. The two residences share the beach with the lighthouse and other features of the historic light station. Both residences are available for rent throughout the year and offer groups of up to six adults a wonderful way to enjoy the beach, the Salish Sea (aka Puget Sound), and Vashon-Maury Island.

The Keepers' Quarters A at Point Robinson Light Station is a modest three-bedroom, two-bath, two-story bungalow perched near the lighthouse on the shore of the East Passage of Puget Sound. It offers a wondrous porch looking out over the water and, on a clear day, you'll be able to see Mt. Rainier (təqʷuʔməʔ or Mt. Tahoma to the Coast Salish people, which means "Giver of Water") and sometimes, pods of orcas, too!

Island Time

The view, the view, the view. We all grew up on the other side and really enjoyed pointing out familiar spots along with boats, planes, the mountain. Hope to be back again someday.

My New Happy Place

Vashon is a beautiful island, but being able to stay in the Lighthouse Keepers' Quarters was a highlight of the trip. Super comfortable house and wonderful waterfront porch with rocking chairs for soaking in the view and scouting wildlife. We will be back!!

Make your adult dreams come true

We got to be lighthouse keepers for the weekend and the experience did not disappoint. Highly recommend! The caretaker was kind, the house was historic and comfortable, and access to the property after dark was a special treat (the trolls as INCREDIBLE). The only downside was the crowds, but we were grateful for fence giving us a little breathing room.

Absolute treasure!

We stayed at Pt.Robinson because we needed more room for family in preparation for my mother’s memorial service. I had always wanted to see inside the lighthouse keepers’ cottages, having visited the beach many times over the years. It is nothing short of magical! Beautiful restoration, comfortable, well-equipped and breathtaking scenery!

About the host

Why they chose this property

Point Robinson - what a special gift this property is to the people of Vashon. There are not a lot of places in the world where you can witness whales breaching an arm's length away and giant ships steaming by in the night, or, watch Great Blue Herons, Bald Eagles, and Osprey fishing for prey in front of a working lighthouse. So, on behalf of our Island and the Vashon Park District, welcome to Point Robinson Lighthouse. You're going to love it.

What makes this property unique

The Lighthouse and the two Keeper's Quarters are well over 100 years old, perched right on the shore of Puget Sound. There really aren't a lot of properties like this in WA State (or anywhere). A truly unique historical experience!
