Sunset Shores: Waterfront Cottage on Vashon Island

Perfectly situated along the Colvos Passage in scenic Vashon Island, this home offers the very best of waterfront living. With spectacular sunset views, this two-level walk-in cottage sleeps 10. This home is ideally located moments away from shops and restaurants and is a dream getaway just a ferry ride from Seattle.
Nature meets the water's edge. Roast s'mores by the fire pit; BBQ , or cozy up with a book and take in the peaceful serenity.

The Space:
We hope you’ll make amazing memories like we do every time we visit. Search for sand dollars and seashells during low tide, hop on a stand up paddle board, or kayak and take in natures beauty.

If staying on land and taking in the view is your thing, we have a lawn for games to entertain the kids, a charcoal bbq, wood burning fire pit, and different seating options that will allow you to embrace the peaceful environment.

The home sleeps up to 8 (max 6 adults) with two bedrooms plus a loft area for slumber party style arrangements.

The whole place is yours to relax, unwind, and have fun!

This is a walk-in waterfront home.

You will park at the top of the property and take stairs (90 to be exact) down to the front door.

The way out is the same way in except this time, you are climbing up. It’s great exercise and a sure way to get your steps in plus the view is killer!

The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had a wonderful trip out to Vashon Island and loved our stay at Sunset Shores! The views were beautiful morning and night. We enjoyed dinners on the deck and fires down by the water. Kids loved the attic bedroom and playing on the shoreline. Would love to come back!

Perfect for groups

Great beach house with space for 2 families and close to town. Beware there are a lot of stairs down to the home, but it is stated so on the site. Stairs are sturdy and have handrail. No problem for us.

Great Location!

The house is over the water and the views are magnificent. Be aware that you must climb 90 steps down to the house and up from the house to parking. The kitchen is very well-stocked and the living room is a good size. Two of the three bedrooms are very small and the third bedroom is dorm-room style with five beds. The full bath and half bath are small. This house is really about the fabulous location.

Beautiful and serene

We were a group of 7 (4 adults & 3 kids). This home is in a beautiful location and close to town. When we arrived however, the house had not been cleaned from the previous guests. We were able to reach the host very quickly and the situation was resolved. Although it made us waiting even longer to check-in and change our dinner plans. Overall, though we would book this home again, since I am sure this was a very rare occurrence. I would like to note, like other reviews, there are quite a few stairs and hauling your stuff up and down them will definitely up your daily step count. ;)

Amazing views!

We had a great weekend here celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday. Th cabin is great and super beach-y and the views are outstanding. The only downside is the stairs down to the cabin but it’s totally worth it! We hope to come back soon!

Wonderful stay with waterfront and excellent view

We had an incredible stay in this adorable cabin with amazing waterfront view and would definitely rebook for another visit. We were a family of 5. Our teenagers happily used the loft/dormitory. The owner was welcoming and checked in to make sure we had what we needed. The only things I would point out is that it's a good set of stairs down to the cabin from the parking area. I'm glad my elderly parents did not join us. Also, there is just one shower for the cabin, which was fine for our group, but maybe not for a larger group. Overall, we loved our stay and enjoyed spending time on Vashon!

A Vashon Best!

Wow, could have stayed here all summer. Most amazing setting with waterfront location. House was very clean, nice linens, comfortable bed, nice clean newer furniture, attention to detail all around. Will expect to see this place on a VRBO commercial soon. Clear communication with host, no surprises, will be back for sure!!!
