2 Bedroom Cottage in Vashon Island, Vashon

This is the perfect vacation spot whether you're traveling thousands of miles or simply doing a stay-cation in Western Washington. Located on rural Vashon Island--situated strategically in Puget Sound between the cities of Seattle & Tacoma, this beautiful waterfront cottage allows you to soak up the rhythms of the forest & the sea and yet be close to the urban attractions of the area. Observe the rich bird life on land and the salmon, seals, river otters, porpoises and occasional whales as they swim & play in the waters at your front door.
The cottage is totally private from its neighbors but open to the sea. It has a cirque of large Douglas fir & Madrona trees to the north & east and is open to the view of Puget Sound, the Point Defiance Preserve and Gig Harbor to the south and southwest. All of the day rooms and one of the bedrooms afford views of the sound and of the ferry, Chetzemoka, which makes the run between Vashon and Pt Defiance each hour during the day. The cottage is hidden from the street above by a charming cedar fence which affords wonderful privacy. At low tide you can cruise the beach and reward yourself with awesome views of Mt Rainier. Meteorologists will tell you that this sunny southern location gets an average of 10 inches less rain per year than the northern part of the island.

The 1200 sq ft cottage was completely renovated over the last several years and offers an array of outdoor living spaces, a beautiful bath and lovely bedrooms in addition to the charming kitchen, living & dining rooms. The side of the house has two sets of french doors which open onto two view decks (600 sf). There are numerous smaller viewing decks, including a new shaded deck at top of stairs to our bulkhead, and a 500 sf patio at the water's edge. All these spaces feature comfortable, high quality outdoor furniture. You may never want to go indoors during your stay.
The stony beach is reached by descending a few steps from the property’s bulkhead. Fruit trees, grasses and landscaping have recently been added.
During the day you can observe the hummingbirds, tanagers, herons, eagles & other seabirds, along with the daily encounters with otters, seals and sea lions. At night listen for the sounds of the animals drifting across the silence of Puget Sound from the Pt. Defiance Park & Zoo. Beyond its natural beauty, Vashon Island also offers a thriving arts community and everyday amenities such as an excellent supermarket, bakeries and numerous restaurants. This is truly a splendid spot where you can relax on the shores of Puget Sound but be close to everything on island and have easy access to cities from Olympia to Seattle. Hop on the Tahlequah ferry and you can explore wonderful trails and parks in Tacoma & Point Rustin. The mainland side of the water also affords many restaurants within walking distance.

Summary: Loved this cottage! Highly recommend it if you are looking for a place to hunker down and chill out steps from the Pt Defiance - Vashon ferry. Beautiful views of the sound and the outdoor spaces are amazing. Comfy chairs throughout for relaxing while looking at the water. My only warning would be to those who can’t handle stairs as there are 2 flights to the front door and then multiple flights to the various decks. The host is super helpful and friendly and we had a great time.

Summary: This was our third year at Clam Cove. The owners are super nice and very responsive. This year we enjoyed long walks along the water at Cape Defiance, dinner at Anthony’s, massages at The Barton Inn. But the most fun is just relaxing on the decks, with wine and books, long naps in the nook and peaceful sleeps. This years property upgrades were most appreciated. We feel spoiled every time!

Summary: The hosts / restorers of this delightful home were gracious and accessible without being intrusive. It's hard to get more Vashon than the spectacular views of the ferry coming and going, and the indoor/outdoor living spaces are a magical combination of old and new. We enjoyed naps in the comfortable chairs, peeking out across the daybed/reading nook, and when the sun came out, sitting in the full color spectrum on the deck looking out at water, ferry and green trees. A pair of kingfishers was surprised to see us on the lower patio at sunset, but just kept right on fishing. Thank you for having us!

Summary: Nothing to make the reader wade through here, as is my wont in these reviews; suffice it to say the others are spot-on. (Great location, convenience, beds, etc!!) Only one small contribution: we thought the ferry might be loud or annoying but not at all. It’s so quiet and, yes, fascinating to watch maneuvering in the varying tides and currents, as well as use to leisurely note your idle hours slipping (!) by.

Summary: What a lovely place for our 20th anniversary. The cottage is charming and the views and decks spectacular. We enjoyed watching the ferry and all the boats. It's located at the quiet southern end of the island. Great take-out from The Hardware Store and May Kitchen in town. Vashon Island is a beautiful getaway from the city and Bruce and Tom are excellent hosts.
