We were a family of 3 (2 parents, 1 teen) and it was a comfortable and relaxing stay. Neighborhood is quiet, saw a variety of sea life, and enjoyed the views. Check-in was easy and hosts available for communication.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Second time staying here - can't wait to return!

This is such a great place. The view of Mount Rainer is amazing, plus you can watch seals, Orcas, and bald eagles from the bedroom or living room. It's cozy and comfortable and a great getaway not far from Seattle, plus the owners are wonderful. We can't wait to return!

Amazing Little House

We loved staying at the Clam Cove Cabin, the house is so clean, and equipped with everything you will need for a few days away. We didn't want to leave, and we are already looking at our calendar to see when we can stay again. Thank you so much Lance for sharing your little piece of heaven on earth.
