About this property

Enjoy The Best Of Vashon From The Deck Of The Quartermaster Cottage

Quartermaster Cottage is located in Burton, WA on the Island of Vashon. This quaint home was built in the late 1890's when Burton was a fishing village. Fantastic ocean views from the deck with patio tables seating 10. Sleeps 6 with one queen bed upstairs, a queen fold out sleeper sofa also upstairs on the landing outside the upstairs master bedroom and 2 twin bunk beds on the main floor. Two bathrooms, one with shower and tub. One with shower only. Both bathrooms are located on the main floor. The setup is not great for two couples.
Completely furnished kitchen, washer and dryer and gas grill for those summer barbecues. All bath and bed linens furnished.
Check in is 3PM and check out is 11AM unless special arrangements are made. Please call Troy 30 minutes before your arrival to get access. If you show up without calling you will have to wait outside and that's no fun at all, and certainly not a great way to start your stay so please call.
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you!

Cute Old-Fashioned Cottage
It was a lovely home, large backyard right on the marina. Walking distance from an incredible coffee stand with morning pastries and a grocery store. The outside area has tons of seating options and a propane heater for the cold nights. Tons of parking! Master bedroom sleeps a bit warm even with a portable AC unit in the hall nearby & light switches were a hunt, but its an older styled house and had so much character. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice stay on Vashon
The house suited our needs for location on the island. The large deck overlooking the harbor is great for relaxing, enjoying morning coffee, meals or evening cocktails. Easy check-in and communication with host.

About the host

Hosted by Troy Kindred

Host profile image
When not on Vashon, we live in Houston, TX. Tracy works in the oil industry and I am retired from a career in high school counseling. We have two grown children, a son who lives in Scottsdale, AZ and a daughter that lives in Golden, CO. We lived in the Seattle area during my husband's career and fell in love with the Northwest. We vowed to come back and live there someday. During the search, we discovered Vashon Island and have never looked back. Vashon is an extra special place to live and visit!

Why they chose this property

The previous owner approached us one day and said, "I am selling my house would you want to buy it?" We jumped at the chance to be able to become the caretakers of this "Pink House" icon of Burton. You never get tired of the view from the huge deck and are so close to beaches for walking and trails for hiking. The house was built in the late 1890's. We have maintained the charm while providing all the comforts of home.

What makes this property unique

Vashon is only a 20 minute ferry ride from West Seattle and 15 minutes from Tacoma. Yet when you come to the island you feel hundreds of miles from a metropolitan area. Relax and read a book, walk the beaches, hike the many trails on the island to unwind from the busy city. The art, theatre and music scene is robust to say the least. You can enjoy a live musical performance, art show and even an opera all year round.
