"Driftwood Island Retreat" Spectacular View, Private Waterfront on James Point.
Located on the beautiful west side of Vashon Island, this is a unique, renovated waterfront home on a privately owned sandy beach with a permanent and attached floating dock. It has an expansive, spectacular 180-degree view of Puget Sound facing Gig Harbor to the south, the Kitsap Peninsula to the west and Mount Baker to the north. There is no other place on the island quite like it. Our 3-bedroom home is beautifully furnished to make you feel comfortable and at home. The refinished wooden walls give it a warm, rustic, retreat atmosphere. You can enjoy the view from the inside of the house or comfortably sit on the west and north facing wrap around deck. The beautiful westward water view is relaxing and breathtaking. You may experience colorful sunsets, glistening calm or whitecap and windy stormy waters. Every day is a unique experience, never the same. The property is accessible to smaller boats during the spring, summer and early fall using our floating dock.
The largest bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed, the middle guest room has a full-size double bed, and the smallest bedroom has a single twin bed. The house sleeps a maximum of 5 guests.

Beautiful location on a peaceful point with amazing water views and relaxing accommodations for a weekend getaway with our family with young kids. Beach play and games inside were all a hit with them. Plenty of accommodations for cooking in kitchen as well. Mary Ann was very hospitable and a great communicator upon arrival. Would love to make this place a regular stop for our family.
This was such a beautiful home and even better location. The house had everything we needed and the view from every window brings the outside, into the hone. We found it so peaceful, and Mary Ann was an amazing host.
This was the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at. The place had everything you needed and great amenities (even rubber boots for walking on the beach) and a fully equipped kitchen. The view is amazing, what a peaceful place to relax. We will definitely stay here again.
We had absolutely amazing time doing the stay at this property, Maryann When five and beyond to make us stay very comfortable the place had all of the essentials was very well equipped had an amazing charm and amazing view an absolute serenity the pictures don’t do the justice definitely come over again
Peaceful, scenic, all we needed. The hosts are awesome - available if you need them, otherwise they leave you to enjoy. The house is well equipped and comfortable, off the main roads a bit, but that is part of the charm.
Our stay at Driftwood was everything we wanted and needed. Mary Ann made our entire experience, from booking to check out, seamless and enjoyable. The house has everything you need and it feels like quality the moment you come onto the property. My Besty even LOVED the thoughtful touch of bowls by the beds for jewelry and such!We hope & pray we're able to return soon!
Overall impressison: Paradise First words: Amazing locationOpen the door & first feeling: HomeAll he comforts of home and more. Had a wonderful getaway with friends for my bday. Relaxing, fun, beachcombing, quiet,
This cute house was just perfect for our weekend getaway and I would highly recommend it. The house was spotlessly clean, everything we needed was provided, the host was wonderful and checkin/communication was a breeze. The property is gorgeous and very private with beautiful views. 10/10 and would definitely stay here again.
Spectacular location, perfectly organized, quiet except for call of birds and the occasional wave arriving on shore from the wake of a distant boat..,if you need to relax and gaze at the view or read a book, this place is for you.
We couldn't have asked for more! The house is right on the beach and is fully stocked we everything we needed. We spent the days searching for sea shells, marveling at the sand dollars and roasting marshmallows on the beach. Thank you for a lovely stay!
This property was wonderfully cozy and picturesque. It was well equipped and the setting was beautiful. We stayed there for two nights for our son's wedding at a venue about 10 minutes away, so we didn't have much of a chance to enjoy the home or the outdoors since we were gone most of the time. We would love to come back for a longer stay.
Highly recommend!! One of best waterfront locations we've ever experienced. Cozy cabin & tons of amenities. Kitchen very well stocked & home had everything we needed -- even sand toys for the kids to borrow. Beautiful!!
Our annual Sisters Celebration was one of our best in 20 years. The accommodations were beyond our expectations, with a full kitchen and great appliances. We spent our time exploring the island and just spending wonderful time watching the boats and wildlife, including a morning visit from a young eagle. We encourage you to visit!
Maryann is the best owner I ever meet on VRBO its not one thing that you will not find in her home, its so welcoming, u name it and its there, even fuzzy socks for a cold night. Amazing! Thats our 3rd stay and its never disappoint us. The cleanness is just perfect! Thank you Maryann , you are amazing!
The property is beautiful and peaceful on a great beach. 5 adults between ages 28-68. We had a family reunion on the Island elsewhere but the mornings with coffee on the porch and the bedding for sleep were wonderful. All the amenities that you can think of. We would rent again!
From the moment you drive up to this property you will be blown away by it’s unique beauty. You’ll find yourself overlooking Colvos passage, and if it’s clear, you can look to the north all the way passed Mount Baker. The home is adorable and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Don’t hesitate—book this slice of heaven today!
The location is perfect, quiet and right on the water. Beach with plenty of sand and treasures brought in by the tide. Geese every evening, nesting boxes on the pier, crows and seagulls and cormorants. The house is lovely and comfortable and well stocked for cooking your own meals, plenty of towels and sand toys. A great place to set out and explore from, and come back to. Overall, I can’t imagine there’s a better place to stay on the island and I hope we can come back soon! Thank you for a great and restful vacation.
Maryann who met us at the property to check us in was amazing. The house was immaculately clean. Views and peace better than advertised. Just awesome.
Going to make this another stop soon for longer! Thanks, The Wakeham’s
