I've rented a lot of places on Vashon and I do believe this is my favorite. It really has everything. A to die for view, a fabulous deck to sit on and watch the birds, boats and clouds go by. You can listen to the seagulls and woodpeckers, and in the Spring, the wind. Loved our beach walk. It's peaceful and private and the kitchen has everything. The wood stove is great. Did I mention the bed, very comfortable and comfy furniture in the living room. Two things you don't often get when renting a cottage. Now excuse me while I watch this sail boat go by. A short ride from the city but feels a million miles away. --Betsy & Bill
