as good or better than we were expecting.

Wonderful stay, great communication and hospitality! Very charming cottage with stunning views! Conveniently located near ferry.

My family and I had a wonderful time here! The views of the water and ferry were stunning and we saw eagles, seals and lots of seagulls from the back porch. The kitchen was very well stocked... the house as well with books and games. This was the perfect place to relax and escape the Texas heat. Hopping on and off the south ferry was so convenient, especially by foot. The town of Vashon was quaint and had some delicious food and cute shops. Driving to Seattle downtown was a little ways, but worth it and do-able for a daily excursion. We highly recommend this cottage and want to come again very soon!

We had the most amazing time at this perfect house. It was exactly as advertised. The house is updated enough to be comfortable, but hasn't lost the original charm. With enough modern conveniences like new appliances, Netflix, comfy beds, nice linens, and nice cookware, we were able to concentrate on what really mattered - the water, the view, the hummingbirds, the herons, the seals, the naps, the noshing and the cocktails. The water view from the decks and the light streaming in was so relaxing, we only budged from the house a couple of times. We walked to the ferry to Tacoma, ferried to Seattle, and went to town for lunch and groceries. Bruce and Tom were the perfect hosts. Tom met us at the house and spent a few minutes explaining the quirks. He left before we noticed the homemade cookies and fresh cut flowers welcoming us. They struck just the right balance of communication. We felt like we were staying with family and we hope to make this an annual trip. Thanks to you both!
