Point Robinson Lighthouse - Keeper's Quarters B

Vashon Park District offers amazing stays in the two renovated Keepers' Quarters at Point Robinson Lighthouse. The two residences share the beach with the lighthouse and several outbuildings. Both are available for vacation rental throughout the year, offering you a wonderful way to enjoy the beach, Puget Sound, and Vashon-Maury Island.

Quarters B is a two-bedroom, one-bath, completely furnished unit with a full kitchen and sitting parlor. This house is restored to capture much of its historical 1919 condition. It can accommodate four to six people - with two bedrooms and one bath. The sunny kitchen in Quarters B evokes a time of homemade biscuits and slow Sunday breakfasts. The sitting room boasts period furnishings and contemporary comfort. This property is perched near the lighthouse on the shore of the East Passage in Puget Sound. It offers a wondrous porch looking out over the Salish Sea, and on a clear day, Mount Rainier (known as təqʷuʔməʔ or Mt. Tahoma to the Coast Salish people).

Quarters B is part of a duplex comprising half of the downstairs and the entire upper floor of the house. Our Caretaker lives in the other half of the duplex, and while the front porch facing the water is a shared space, the house has separate entrances for each residence.

What a treat!
My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend enjoying our stay in “Quarters B.” The house is nicely furnished and equipped. Walked on the beach, visited the troll, enjoyed the restaurants and shops on Vashon. The parks department is great to work with.

Anniversary Getaway
Loved most things about this place! Very clean with great kitchen and nicely decorated with "period" furniture. I have 2 minor criticisms that I feel almost guilty mentioning, but since this is an honest review I want to mention them. The furniture in the living room looks like it should be there but is not very comfortable. We had stormy weather during our stay so we used this furniture for most of a day and it left a lot to be desired. Also, the tub/shower looked great but the hose for the shower portion of the plumbing was not long enough to allow you to hold it above your head (and no place to hook it as a shower head). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Charming & magical
This was our second time to stay at Quarters B and there's something truly special about it. The house is charming and unique, the location is superb, and the views from the front porch and upstairs bedrooms are spectacular. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets, playing in the water, strolling to the lighthouse, grilling food for dinner, kayaking to a nearby cove, visiting the troll near the upper parking lot, AND watching orcas pass by. Amazing! I felt an incredible sense of tranquility at Quarters B, and the onsite caretaker was very kind and helpful.

Great combination of old but comfort. Looked and gave feeling of age and history but comfortable and clean and new in terms of appliances and bed. Breeze off the water was steady and wonderful. Caretaker is a very nice person and helpful.

Wow
The light keepers house on the beach, with stunning views of the water and Mt Ranier, is cozy, and characterful. Compared to the other vacation rentals I found in Vashon, this one checked off all the boxes and was cheaper. If you can get it, take it!

Beautiful getaway
This was an incredibly relaxing and memorable place to stay! The home is beautifully maintained in the original character. Views of Mount Rainer from our bedroom and the front porch were breathtaking. We saw river otters feeding, eagles nesting in the tree on the property, and an orca swimming by right in front of us! Admittedly, we had warm weather and bright blue sky for our visit, but it was just heavenly.

The property was beautiful. It was peaceful. We got to wake up to beautiful views and the sound of the water. We wish there was a stand-up shower as the sit down shower was awkward and not very satisfying.

Delightful Winter Stay
My wife and our friends enjoyed our three day stay in Quarters B. The location is over the top perfect for anytime of year. We enjoyed being here in the quiet of winter and the lovely coziness of this historic home. We had everything we needed to cook meals, sleep well and enjoy each others company. We brought cooking items we needed and were glad as there were no cooking oils and spices other than salt and pepper. We appreciated the bathroom being upstairs near the bedrooms and found the beds very comfortable. We lucked out with a blue sky morning and views of Mt. Tahoma, enjoyed walking the beach and hiking up to see Oscar the Bird King. Being less than 20 minutes to restaurants and other shopping was very convenient. We found many nearby trails to enjoy as well. This home is well loved and we appreciated the old charm with more modern comforts.

Always the best time of my year
I have stayed at Quarters B multiple times and it is always such a relaxing and restorative experience. It is very comfortably appointed and the view is the best around. The addition of the troll up the road makes the location even better.

Late December Beach Retreat
We arrived on December 27 to find the perfect little cottage complete with a charming Christmas tree. Everything we needed was here - plus tons of wildlife and the glorious beach. Oscar the Troll is magnificent but I did not realize he was going to be such a crowd draw - the upper parking lot is always crowded and muddy! But inside the quarters feels private. The gate, which is locked after dark, is HEAVY and quite difficult to open and close by oneself, but it does ensure privacy at nighttime. Absolutely glorious little stay for me and teenage daughter, and we will return.

Family Time at the Beach
The Lighthouse Keepers Quarters B is a cozy home located right on the beach, facing east across the water towards Mt. Rainier. It was the perfect place for grandparents, parents, and grandchildren to spend a family weekend. There's nothing like walking out your front door right onto the beach - no need to pack up and drive anywhere. We played at the edge of the water, skipped stones, played in the marvelous driftwood structures created by others, walked the short trails into the woods, and discovered the big troll sculpture recently added to the park in which the house in located. It is wonderfully quiet at night,! It's fun to watch the boats and large cargo ships make their way through the channel. We watched sunrise and sunset over the water. The house is very well equipped with lots of little extras that make it feel like home.

A piece of heaven in the PNW
Low key family time was perfect. Great porch sitting just looking over the sound with lots of marine mammal viewing and boat watching. Yard games and grilling. Town is 20 minutes away with awesome restaurants and great grocery store. Hiking and kayaking easy at hand. Lighthouse. Quarters B are like living museum to 1870’s. Quarters A are bigger with a fabulous picture windows on the bay. Loved every minute.

Lovely stay on the beach
Overall had a great stay at the lighthouse. The home is admittedly old but it carries that charm from the 1850s and has been nicely updated. The location on the beach cannot be beat… quiet, beautiful, and with great views of the landscape and wildlife. The team was very receptive and made the rental process very simple.

Charming house with a spectacular view
Easy communication and house was clean and comfy. Only snafoo was gate was locked when our second car came down so we had to go drive to unlock it for them. We had been told it would be left unlocked, but not a huge hassle. Views of water and Mt Rainier were outstanding and house was well stocked. Definitely will be back.
