Point Robinson Lighthouse - Keeper's Quarters A

The island's own lighthouse station offers weekend and week-long stays in the two renovated keepers' quarters. The two residences share the beach with the lighthouse and other features of the historic light station. Both residences are available for rent throughout the year and offer groups of up to six adults a wonderful way to enjoy the beach, the Salish Sea (aka Puget Sound), and Vashon-Maury Island.

The Keepers' Quarters A at Point Robinson Light Station is a modest three-bedroom, two-bath, two-story bungalow perched near the lighthouse on the shore of the East Passage of Puget Sound. It offers a wondrous porch looking out over the water and, on a clear day, you'll be able to see Mt. Rainier (təqʷuʔməʔ or Mt. Tahoma to the Coast Salish people, which means "Giver of Water") and sometimes, pods of orcas, too!

Great experience - will be back for sure!
We enjoyed the mixture of old style and modern conveniences. The house was clean and comfortable. The view was marvelous- we had two gorgeous days to enjoy a front porch view of the mountain. Sunset and sunrise were amazing. The caretaker next door is very nice and helpful. We enjoyed watching otters and seals in the water as we sipped our coffee on the porch. Wonderful getaway with the family.

Wonderful family vacation
The location is A-MAZ-ING! You are right on the beach with a lovely porch with rocking chairs to enjoy the view. Elderly mother could sit in the shade of the front porch while adult children beach combed and kayaked right out front. We did bring a few extra beach chairs (which we used outside and also in the living room to add estra seating on movie nights) and of course our own kayaks. Kitchen was well equipped and spacious enough to accommodate the many helpers during meal prep. Appliances are all in good working order and full size making it easy to whip up meals and store food for 8 people. Fans were available for those days/nights that were hot and loved the new windows with screens that opened easily to let in the evening breeze. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!

Girls Weekend
The home is spacious. It was great that each of us could have our own room and a kitchen to make tea and food. We loved sitting in the living room and saw bald eagles, otters and a seal. It was also a treat to have Oscar the Bird King troll in walking distance. The quiet made for good sleeping and it was wonderful to spend time with friends.

Vashon is a beautiful island, but being able to stay in the Lighthouse Keepers' Quarters was a highlight of the trip. Super comfortable house and wonderful waterfront porch with rocking chairs for soaking in the view and scouting wildlife. We will be back!!

Make your adult dreams come true
We got to be lighthouse keepers for the weekend and the experience did not disappoint. Highly recommend! The caretaker was kind, the house was historic and comfortable, and access to the property after dark was a special treat (the trolls as INCREDIBLE). The only downside was the crowds, but we were grateful for fence giving us a little breathing room.

Absolute treasure!
We stayed at Pt.Robinson because we needed more room for family in preparation for my mother’s memorial service. I had always wanted to see inside the lighthouse keepers’ cottages, having visited the beach many times over the years. It is nothing short of magical! Beautiful restoration, comfortable, well-equipped and breathtaking scenery!

We rented both properties and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Porch sitting, hiking, kayaking, marine activity, lawn games. Easy family time together. Access to great grocery store or restaurants. Just slow and easy family time. Caretaker is helpful and unobtrusive. Staff of Vashon Parks and Rec friendly and helpful. Captain Joe of the lighthouse a gem of a human.

Spectacular!
What a location, you just can’t beat that anywhere! We looked straight at Mount Rainier all weekend. It didn’t hurt that the weather was fantastic, but we would have been happy in the house anyway. We spent the afternoons just relaxing there. The front porch, the picnic table on the side, the living room – all the spaces were wonderful and comfortable. Dining room and kitchen are nice. Good beds too! Thank you for this wonderful place!

Stunning location
The location is absolutely beautiful. We were able to watch the storms and see the wildlife - eagles, otters and seals. The place is very well equipped for a family gathering. They even had a lit Christmas tree which made the front room very festive.

Wonderful stay
This is a unique property. The old house has been updated, yet it maintains its character delightfully. It is right on the water in the midst of a park with wonderful views of the Sound (and seals). Even though we had smoke on one day of our visit, and rain the next, we still enjoyed it a lot. Good friends, good times. The only problem is that the staircase is fairly steep with high risers; the handrail is sturdy, though, so it was fine.

Everything was the best. This lighthouse keepers cottage had everything we needed and more. Beautiful location on the water and a great location to explore Vashon Island. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Another surprise was the unseasonal 80 degree weather. Who expected that happening. Really nice getaway with friends.

The house is old so it is creaky, but that only enhances its charm. The view of the water is almost 180 degrees with a view of Mt. Rainer, boats floating by and lots of wildlife. Tranquil and worth every penny. Bring board games for nighttime fun!
