Thanks to our hosts for another wonderful stay! As always, the house was perfect and the setting even better! Vashon is the perfect PNW getaway, with a short ferry ride, great coffee houses, fun shopping, beaches and the lighthouse. Such a neat community and we feel tucked right into it while we stay at Driftwood. We love visiting this house in the winter for the NW moodiness and beach combing.
The house is great for our family and comes equipped with everything you need to prepare meals, play games, light a bonfire on the beach and get cozy.
Communication with the host is super easy. Unlike some vrbos that have so many rules and duties that it feels hostile-driftwood feels very relaxed and we felt welcomed.
Can’t wait to return!

We booked this to visit relatives on Vashon Island for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, we only had a few days we could spend there, but this property was an excellent choice for it. Once you arrive at the property, you may not want to leave it. Located on a point, you have an expansive water view….. all yours. The house is located on the beach level, so it’s easy walking to the water, or down to the dock. Parking is right at the house, so no need to navigate steep dangerous stairs, etc. I cannot review the TV….. we never used it. Why bring in the outside world when in paradise ? We have stayed in other properties on Vashon Island previously, but this one will be our first choice for future returns, if it is available.

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

From the absolute charm of the house to the unsurpassed ocean views to the caring and kindness of the host, everything about Driftwood is centered on creating an unforgettable vacation for you and your family.
The bird watching is amazing (I stopped counting how many different birds we observed!), the occasional seal can be seen swimming by, and the water is clear and calm so you can easily watch the swimming sea life. The beautiful water views, as seen from indoors or out, are astounding and will definitely stay with you.
The furniture is comfortable (my husband fell in love with couches), the bedding is soft, the kitchen is well stocked with dishes and such, and the gorgeous water can be seen from nearly every area, even the laundry room. We would recommend Driftwood and would most assuredly stay there 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.

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!

We (couple + 18 month old) stayed here for a 4 night getaway. The beach is terrific for strolling, toddling, SUPing, beachcombing, and watching the magical PNW sunsets. The house was clean and comfortable, and we’re already planning our next trip back here.

My husband and I and 3 friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Driftwood Retreat! The location and setting are unique and beautiful, as is the cabin.
Mary Ann's info was spot on and her onsite tour upon checkin was much appreciated. The kitchen had all of the pans and utensils we needed which is not always the case...
Highly recommend this place!

Everything you see about this place is true! The listing matched my expectations, but the experience itself exceeded it, too. MaryAnn gave us a walk-through when we first arrived, which was great, and she was communicative throughout. I felt she was accessible and approachable for anything we might need. The place had all the things we hoped they would inside and more - with great outdoor furniture, sand toys for kids, and grilling equipment. I hardly ever say this about places we've rented, but our family has said unanimously we would definitely come back and stay at Driftwood in the future!

This was our 3rd year for an annual guys trip. Host is very nice and accommodating, which I appreciate! Plenty of beach access for exploring, firewood and beach fires. House is excellent and has all the amenities you would need. Gas BBQ, wi-fi, TV, stocked kitchen, etc. I can’t say enough good things about this place. We love this place hope to come back again in the future. Takes just a short time to get there from Seattle. Would highly recommend to anyone :)

I grew up on Vashon so I know how special it is, and the Driftwood Retreat fits right in. MaryAnn's property is truly one of a kind and we absolutely loved our stay. The location right on the water was the perfect way to spend our holiday. MaryAnn was very easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful house - well appointed and maintained. Mary Ann is quick to offer anything that a renter might need or want and checks in regularly. The house is situated in a lovely section of Puget Sound: private, beautiful at all times of day, interesting water traffic - tho’ not too busy, and non-stop glimpses of birds, porpoises, orcas, drakes, and such, easy access to town center. (The pitch of the driveway looks like a daunting climb, when you drive down to the beach for your first look at the house. In fact, it is a manageable “hike” that leaves you with a good feeling of accomplishment when you finish. My husband and I are eager to return for repeated visits.

Family of 5 found Driftwood searching for a vacation haven on water. We lucked out. Property, house, community, serenity, beauty all rate 12 out of 10.
Maryann our host was extremely accommodating. As an example, we decided to leave a day earlier due to a ferry service mis-hap. Without asking, Maryann volunteered that she would refund half of our nights lodging. This is the type of honest and sincere person the host of the house is, and somebody in any walks of life is fair, honest and sincere.
We will most definately return.
Thanks for the memories Maryann.
You know who we are:)

I really can't add anything that hasn't been said already about this beautiful property. This is our second time visiting. The property was as amazing as we remembered it. Our kids thoroughly exhausted themselves all day on the beach and our host Marianne was as wonderful as she was on our first visit. Thank you so much for letting us visit your property!! See you again soon!!

What a magical spot! Everything from the booking through the end of stay was seamless. The cabin is well stocked and perfect for a small family. We found it hard to leave each day of our stay because the area is SO beautiful. If you are visiting the island - book Driftwood … you will not be disappointed!

The Driftwood home was truly bliss. Every detail was thought of, house was fully stocked and dishes clean and ready to use. This will have us booking again for those reasons alone. The views and beach were absolutely stunning, it all felt very private and we enjoyed how everyday was different.
Thank you again for a wonderful stay. We hope to visit again soon!
