Be a lighthouse keeper on your vacation! There are two residences available here: fully furnished houses where you can go with friends and family for a weekend or week. They are literally right on the water on Puget Sound and couldn’t be more relaxing. You can walk on the beach, take a dip in the water, or relax indoors. Shops and restaurants in downtown Vashon are a ten minute drive. Take a hike or a drive, or just enjoy the privacy of the historic homes. I stayed in quarters A – three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a huge kitchen, glorious windows looking out onto the sound, and a porch where you can rest in rocking chairs or watch kids collecting shells. This is a perfect getaway a short ferry ride away from Seattle or Tacoma.
