Vashon Vacation Rental- A Shameless Plug

Written By Rachel Waldron

My family recently moved (in October) to a new home that is 98% our dream home! We feel so fortunate to have this amazing home that suits our family perfectly. The only way we were able to make this happen financially was to have a vacation rental as a part of the purchase.

We are so excited to share that after a bit of DIY-ing (there is a time and a place, right?!), we have the cabin up and ready to go and are expecting our first guests shortly. But, we want our Waldron Designs friends to know that we are here and ready to provide a respite from your renovation, and a cozy vacation retreat! Take a peek at our listing and please, come visit us!

NEW! Cabin w/ Puget Sound Views on Vashon Island!

Nestled on an idyllic island in Puget Sound, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath Vashon vacation rental is a cozy couples retreat! Maury Island Marine Park sits only 3.4 miles from the cabin where you can stroll the sandy shores and enjoy views of the Cascade Mountain

We had a lot of fun putting it together. Of course, in my fantasy world, I have several ideas for the wall of glass I’d like facing the water… but for now, it’s a great little cabin with access to the beach and birdwatching galore (the beach has been recognized by the Audobon for its 37 species of birds that use this area!)

Our goal for the cabin was to provide a light and airy space for hot summer days that would also feel warm and cozy on winter nights. The connection to the coast and bringing the outdoors in was a must, but we wanted to avoid the cliche nautical styling. It was also important to me to be as sustainable as possible. No, solar panels were not in the budget (yet), but we did skip the bleached cotton linens and went with 100% linen on the bed. We chose soap containers that could be refilled (no throwaways!), and items that could be reused via washing.

All of that on a budget and using pieces from our existing home! How did we do? You can be the judge:

Waldron Designs was founded by Rachel Waldron (that’s me!). in 2013.

I am so happy designing that it is not unusual to catch me in a giggle as I rev up to do my work. I think of my designs the way that I think of my children- each is unique and has their own personality. It is my job to nurture them and help them grow, not define them.

I got my bachelor's degree in interior design from Washington State University - a CIDA-accredited school - in 2005, immediately moved into a leadership position and have continued designing with passion.

I received my MBA in Marketing in 2012 and launched Waldron Designs in 2013. When I am not designing, you will find me enjoying my precious time with my husband and two spectacular children.
