My husband, our two kids, and I spent a wonderful weekend here exploring Vashon Island. This place is beautiful, and perfect for relaxing. We loved sitting on the deck, watching the tide and spotting wildlife. I highly recommend it for a relaxing family getaway with older kids.

If I could give it more stars, I would. This lovely cottage is clean and comfortable and offers everything you need to enjoy a waterfront experience. The views are spectacular and we saw all kinds of wildlife right from the deck. An eagle, otters, seals, dolphins, herons and more. Amazing. We hope to return someday.

The Perfect Island Cottage

I stayed here with my parents when they visited from the desert—we were all exceedingly happy with our stay and wish it could have been longer. The mountain is always out here, and the proximity to the sound was great. Truly the best PNW beach cottage you can find.

Unique experience

This property is literally right on the water, and next to a convenient ferry crossing. It has to feel of living on a boat. Very quaint….. views of the Puget sound through all of the Windows.

A Piece of Heaven

This lovely place sits On the water and has views of Mt. Rainier from every room. We had a wonderful peaceful stay and would certainly be back! If you are a water-sports fan the private dock, canoe and paddle boards will make you happy!

Love Clam Cottage!

Clam Cottage was our home for 10 weeks this summer and the experience was amazing. The location has incredible views of Mt. Rainier, Point Ruston, and easy ferry access to Tacoma and Seattle. The Cottage is right on the water making it easy to kayak, paddle board, and enjoy the sea life every day (seals, otters, porpoises, eagles, etc.). The Cottage has a large deck with lots of seating options, the inside includes all the basic amenities. The property owner is very friendly and responded quickly to any questions/needs/etc. We highly recommend staying at Clam Cottage for short or long term stays, we made many fabulous memories!
