Fairytale Cottage with a Lovely Meadow Setting, Patio & WiFi - Walk to KVI Beach

Enchanted Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Seemingly pulled from the pages of a story book, this sweet, Scandinavian-inspired cottage provides a truly enchanted getaway on Vashon Island. This is a place to sip your coffee on the patio, watch deer come and go through the meadow, and take daily walks to beautiful KVI Beach a few blocks away.

This quiet, two-story cottage enjoys an enviable location in Ellisport on the island's east side, with downtown Vashon's excellent restaurants and unique shops mere minutes away by car and KVI Beach - a favorite among locals - a few minutes' walk through the neighborhood.

Inside, you'll find a freshly painted, light-filled living space with generous windows that frame the sunny pasture and the neighboring evergreens. In this thoughtfully designed space, there's a full kitchen to your left as you enter and a main living area with comfortable seating, a flatscreen TV, and a selection of board games to break out at night. The front patio, furnished with a pair of Adirondack chairs, is a wonderful spot to linger with a mug of coffee and listen to the sounds of the island all around you.

The primary bedroom is just off the living room, offering a telescope for wildlife-watchers and a desk workspace in case you're keeping in touch with work during your stay. A spiral staircase leads up to the second bedroom - a charming little attic room where you can sleep under the rafters.

Things to Know
Full kitchen (without a dishwasher)
The second bedroom is accessed via a spiral staircase from the primary bedroom

Highly Recommend!!

My family and I had a great stay and would love to come back! It was quiet, calm and cozy. This home has everything you need. We planned a weekend to stay in and this location was the perfect place to do so. Beautiful property and a wonderful tree with swing out back. Highchair available which was so convenient, also a great selection of toys and kids books. We happily recommend and hope to come back!

Best place to stay

First off, this place is cute as a button. Really cool triangular windows and overall interesting design not seen elsewhere. A brief rain in the morning was actually really nice on the metal roof. Well stocked and cozy, had everything needed. The local deer visited every day. I would definitely recommend, or stay again myself!

Cozy spot

Lovely location but all of Vashon Island is lovely! Good wifi, quick hot water, super comfortable beds. Lots of bed options but would be crowded with more than four people. No child gate at the top of the spiral stairs (there's a crib in the upper bedroom) so bring one if needed.

Cozy, comfy base camp

I only stayed here for one night while attending a wedding on the island, and I wish I had been there longer! The bed situation was actually better than I thought from the listing - it would be no problem to fit 3 couples in that place.

Perfect cozy spot!

We stayed here with 2 adults and 2 kids (2 and 5) and it was a cozy, perfect spot for a rainy weekend! Past reviews mentioned poor internet, no shower, or scratchy sheets, but all of those issues seem to have been addressed because the sheets were comfy, there was a good shower, and great internet connection. The spiral staircase is fun and novel, but a little nerve-racking with my clumsy young kids... I wish there was a baby gate at the top! The kitchen is tiny, but very well appointed, with oil, spices, coffee, some tea, sugar, and a few other necessities. My kids loved the toys and books, and the loft room with cozy bed! It is so close to KVI beach and we went to explore many times during our stay and were lucky enough to see 4 otters! The only real issue was that the washing machine was labeled "out of order" when we arrived, which we hadn't known and had been counting on being able to use.

Beautiful, Cozy and Clean!

We stayed for two nights for a family wedding, and we all really enjoyed this home! It is beautifully and whymsically decorated, was perfectly clean, very cozy and comfortable, and had all the ammenities we needed for the four of us. The kids did go up and down the spiral staircase more than I anticipated, but no one got hurt. And there is a gate at the bottom of the staircase to block it off, for a break. There was a 4 cup coffee maker, but only instant coffee. So bring your own bag of coffee for brewing if you want some. Otherwise, there are wonderful coffee shops and restaurants just 6 minutes away. We enjoyed everything we had at The Hardware Store (a restaurant), Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie, and Casa Bonita. They had fun toys for the kids to play with, some kid dishes and silverware, the mini split heat pump was wonderful for cooling and heating the space when we needed it, and the bathroom was stocked with towels and wash clothes for all of us. The queen bed had a mattress that felt more like a futon mattress, but we slept fine after our extra busy days. Thank you to the hosts for creating such a special little space to enjoy a visit on the island!

Such a wonderful retreat!

Enchanted cottage was everything that I expected, and more. Everything that you need for a pleasant vacation is there. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and in such a peaceful setting. I hope to come back to Vashon Island, and stay here again.

Cute and Quaint

This was such a cute and quaint cottage to stay in. It is small so you’ll need to contain yourself to your suitcase or it may start to feel crowded. Nevertheless, myself and family had a lovely stay and enjoyed the short trip to the KVI beach as well as the town itself. The kitchen was lovely to cook in. Be prepared for a very small coffee pot if you and your guest drink coffee just know it’s it’s a tiny hotel coffee pot so you’ll be remaking coffee a lot. Otherwise this place was beautiful and the exact experience and get away we were looking for. Can’t wait to visit again.

Lovely Little Rental/Beautiful Property

We had a great stay at the Enchanted Cottage. Cute space with lots of little details decor wise. The beds were very comfortable and the property was lovely and spacious. We wished we had had another day to explore the area a little more. The property management firm was very communicative. We would definitely stay again.

This was the perfect place for a small group of friends to stay while on the island for our wedding weekend. They thoroughly enjoyed the property and had nothing but good things to say about its cleanliness, comfort, and location. We would absolutely book here again!
