Amazing place to Stay!

The Otter house is such a beautiful and big property! The kitchen is a perfect place for entertaining and the views are spectacular! The pictures really don't do it justice. It's a brand new place and so nicely decorated. I highly recommend this place. I really enjoyed staying here.

Beyond Our Expectations

The minute we stepped inside, we knew we’d found a gem. This home was exceptionally clean and the decor was first class. The photos on the web site did not do this place justice. It was so well stocked… the owners anticipated their guests every need. The furniture, appliances, rugs, everything is top quality. The beds… oh my! We loved the water view: seals, kayakers, rowing crews. The home was the highlight of our trip to Vashon.

Peaceful and Perfect

Otter Getaway is a stunner. Beautifully designed interiors throughout with a gorgeous view of the water. The house is sunny and bright during the day then warm and cozy at night. All the rooms are so well appointed you don’t feel like need or want to leave. The kitchen in particular had everything we needed and more. Absolutely will stay here again and again.

Great spot

This property was immaculately clean and very cute. Comfy furniture and spaces to hang out, nice view of the water (across the road), many nice touches. Sarah was quick to respond and very kind to work with. We would absolutely stay here again.

A luxurious Vashon stay

Sarah, our host, adds extra touches that really make this house a special place to stay. There were fresh flowers, coffee beans from the island roaster, and farm fresh eggs. The house is lovely and very clean. It has everything you can think of, including some things that we regard as almost unheard of for vacation rentals: plastic wrap, adequate toilet paper, and Ziplock bags? I don’t remember the last time I didn’t need to supplement on all those fronts. Beach access is across a road. My VI homeowner friends advise that this is typical of “beachfront” properties on the island. It wasn’t what I expected but it also didn’t detract from our experience of the island. We definitely hope to stay here again.

A lovely property, professionally renovated and decorated, and kept to a high standard. Highlights: The view of the harbor, the picture of peace and serenity; loved seeing the kayakers, sailboats, and paddle boarders appear as the day went on.

The home was great.... comfortable, attractive, well-appointed. Soap for the showers was about the only thing missing! And the weather could have been better, but it was appropriate for the location!

Easy and fun

A great central location on the island, and we lost a lot of time to just staring out at the water! Lots of fun games, and anything you could need right in the house, towels, kitchen stuff, basic cooking needs. A+ stay!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah

Host profile image
We are a group of siblings, Jim, Tami and Sarah. We are born and raised islanders. Collectively we have five kids, teenage to young adult. We grew up visiting our grandparents in this house and playing on the beach here.

Why they chose this property

This property was homesteaded by our great great grandfather in the late 1870’s. Our grandparents bought the home from Grandpa’s uncle in 1941, they raised our father and uncle in this house and continued to live here until the end of 2018.
