About this house rental

Stay over the tides. Watch the sun rise across the water. Explore your private beach. Fish, crab, paddle or swim off the deck into Puget Sound. Hike off the property into old-growth Burton Woods. Bike the Burton loop. Walk 0.2 mile to Jensen’s Point for watercraft rentals. This is your off-the-road and over-the-ocean northwest island paradise. Please be sure to read the photo captions for helpful insights especially regarding our stairs access.

Our Oceanfront Eco Cottage is a rare solar-powered home built for two on pilings located on a private beach in Quartermaster Harbor on the Burton peninsula. A short walk down to the wrap-around deck will find you nestled in views and surrounded by wildlife.

Hear the water under you during high tide and beach comb the bounty of the Salish Sea during low tide. You will enjoy a large bay window with skylight over the water to the east, French doors that open onto the deck to the north, and a garden window to the south. The cottage sleeps up to four and features an organic mattress and linens. Chaise couch pulls out to a full size mattress in addition to the queen-size bed. The kitchen is fully equipped. We have a flat screen for use with dvd player and broadband wi-fi for high-speed internet access.

Our Oceanfront Eco Cottage is located on Vashon Island, where rural lifestyles (we don’t have any stop lights!) and natural wonders coexist a short ferry ride from urban pleasures in Seattle and Tacoma. Vashon Island hosts a vibrant arts community and many delights for the foodie (including May’s Kitchen, the best Thai in the region) and farm-fresh crowd. Vashon also has three vineyards, the historic Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie, and destination Lavender Hill Farm. Vashon’s downtown is a few miles from the cottage, though our Burton neighborhood market and excellent espresso stand are within biking or walking distance.

Beyond relaxing on the deck and playing in the water, you can enjoy the Island’s extensive nature trails and bird watching (Quartermaster Harbor is an Audubon hot spot), a local cinema and a plethora of artist studios, live theater and live music.

The house was absolute perfection. The view is magic and there are windows everywhere letting in so much light. The sun and the rain were equally enjoyable and I hope to visit again soon. Thank you for the best weekend escape I have had!

We had a wonderful time here. Barron was helpful and the check in process was simple. The location is cozy and quiet, and we loved having the tide come up under the cottage. We would definitely stay here again.

Great little beachfront property. Small but clean. Expensive but quiet and peaceful. Definitely not for people with mobility issues. Couch bed was difficult to open and I am very handy. A bit overpriced but maybe off season is better?

The cottage is cozy, lots of light, right on the water. I startled a deer as I went down the path and nature continued to show me her children, heron, eagle, seal, seagulls shopping for a meal. The kitchen is very well supplied. Quiet, beautiful location. You can stay at the cottage or tour the island. Either way is delightful.

This was our second stay at the eco cottage, both times to celebrate our summer wedding anniversary. This is the perfect spot to relax and connect, the scenery is breathtaking! The cottage has everything you need and is comfortable. We spent most waking hours on the deck or on the beach. Vashon island also has a lot to offer, hiking trails, beaches to explore, great coffee from the roasters. Host is friendly and easy to Communicate with. We’ll be back again for sure!

Barron's home is so comfortable and the location is really perfect—right on the water, and the trails in the woods across the street were fun to explore, too. The weather was on the cold and windy side, but the home was so cozy that we didn't care.
