Located on a rustic island in the heart of Puget Sound where tides move in and out at your door (the house is right on the water) while you lay in the hammock viewing Mt. Rainier, bald eagles, heron, seals, otters and occasionally an Orca whale, is the Beach Retreat. Located in one of the best fishing and scuba diving spots in the sound, a great getaway from the bustle of the city, yet just a ferry ride from the stimulation of Seattle or Tacoma. The island has its own character with a lively arts community including several galleries, live theater, music and dance...an old time movie house...a skate park and climbing gym for kids. Because of the rural nature of the island, it is a wonderful place to bike, horseback ride, bird watch or kayak! Accessed through our private garden which was featured in the Vashon Garden Tour 2001, the steep 120 stair access is not for the faint of heart. The cottage is decoratively furnished with vintage stained-glass windows, oriental rugs, hardwood floors, original art...Two story with large open kitchen/living/dining area and large decks. Catch salmon from the deck at high tide...It's really special...come and see for yourself!!!
