Guests describe this as a magical spot, with several mentioning orca sightings from the property
Vashon 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.
The space
Vashon Park District's Point Robinson Park is a 10.0-acre shoreline park and historical and marine conservancy located on the east shore of Maury Island off Point Robinson Road overlooking East Passage. The site has provided fog and lighthouse service for vessels since 1885. The lighthouse has been fully automated since 1978. *Vashon Park District owns the upland part of the park; the remainder is on long-term lease from the Coast Guard.
The property conserves an extensive sandy beach shoreline that wraps around the point, a saltwater marsh, and upland woodlands. Walking trails and a few picnic tables have been developed along the scenic shoreline, providing dramatic views of East Passage, Tacoma, and Mount Rainier, and through the upper wooded slopes.
Pt. Robinson Stewards have fully restored the two Keepers' Quarters on the property for use as rentals. All proceeds from these rentals go back into the park's restoration and maintenance.
Guest access
Quarters B is part of a duplex. The Caretaker lives next door in a small apartment. Both residences have separate entrances with a shared front porch facing Puget Sound and Mount Rainer.
