Surrounded by trees with lots of sun and space to play in the front. A two minute walk and you are at the beach steps.

Sip coffee on your spacious deck and you often have a deer walk right past you. Updated living spaces, new Casper mattress in the master. Large living room with flat screen TV and tons of new movies, books and games. Our house also has WI-Fi, Neflix, Pandora etc on the two smart Tv's. One queen bed bedroom and bathroom on the main level. Two bedrooms upstairs one queen bed room and one bunkbed room full/twin with a trundle twin!

Over two miles of walkable community beach, fire pits and covered gazebos with picnic tables and areas to clean your catch of the day! Don't forget the private hot tub to soak in after a long day of biking, tennis, hiking the trails or beach combing. Take the kayaks out and you often see seal and even whales off the Harstine beach! Private setting and great community amenities including a shared clubhouse, seasonal pool and spa, fitness center, trails, marina and picnic areas!
Our house has a relaxing hot tub on the front deck.
All available for our guests Kayaks, bikes(several sizes), tennis rackets and balls and much more.
This is a peaceful community surrounded by nature and wildlife. People come to the pointe to get away from it all. We are good neighbors. Our noise rules after 9:30pm are strictly enforced. Thanks for understanding.

"We've stayed here twice now, once during the summer and once during the winter, both times fabulous!! It's gorgeously remodeled and modern with some charming rustic touches. We immediately felt at home. We had great family bonding times walking on the beach, paddle boarding and kayaking (in the summer), collecting sand dollars and roasting marshmallow in the fire pit by the beach, playing board games and just cuddling up with a book, good movie, or relaxing in the hot tub! Oh-and the kids loved seeing the deer! We even saw a mommy and two babies which was thrilling for my twins to see! We can't wait to go again! Thanks for making our get a away so wonderful!"

Lovely weekend stay

We had a very nice time at this home in a gated community on Harstein Island. We were able to hike, bike, kayak, dig for clams, make smores on the fire pit on the beach, and swim in the ocean water. Very age appropriate for elementary children.

We had an amazing time on Harstine Island and staying at this property. They have all the amenities anyone could need. We all enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks, movies, and seeing the deer wherever we went. My son wants this to be our summer vacation spot from here on out!

We have a family cabin on Harstine but it’s just a little too small for all of our family. Your place was a perfect addition! Clean, well stocked, with a huge deck, BBQ grill and kayaks and bikes to use. The house stayed blissfully cool on a warm weekend too. We'll definitely rent again!

Great quarantine get away

My husband and I wanted a little get away to celebrate our birthdays. We had a lovely time hiking around the island, enjoying the hot tub, and just hanging at the comfy house. We were lucky enough to have sunny weather and enjoyed mountain views on our hikes! The house and property were wonderful and just what we were looking for in a covid safe weekend away! Thank you!

Enjoyed the peacefulness of the surroundings. Community was friendly and respectful. Enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, catching up on some favorite shows on the comfy couch and loved hanging out on the beach. On our 2nd night we were treated to a pod of orcas looking for dinner. This was our first trip to Harstine Island, hoping it won’t be our last.

What a hidden gem!

The Harstene Point community is a fabulous little getaway in a gorgeous location. Great beaches, great walking and running, and not nearly as busy as places like SunRiver. A quiet, relaxing vacation. The house was small but sweet and perfectly functional. I think the only thing we could have wished for would be some window fans to help cool us down at night in the 90 degree heat. The house stays cool during the day but it was a bit hard to sleep without some air stirring in the Master.

Property was clean, welcoming and full of amenities.

We loved our stay. The house had many amenities and was very clean and comfortable. Our only complaint is that there weren’t any paper towels and an oyster knife would have been handy. We weren’t able to access the bikes below the deck either. The clubhouse was also great and my kids were able to use the pool, hot tub, and basketball court. The home was cozy and we enjoyed the DVD’s, making s’mores, and playing board games. The beds were really comfortable and the living room was spacious. We would come back in a heart beat!

A beautiful, quiet getaway!

House was as described, located conveniently for walking around the point to enjoy the beaches and park, plenty of space for our family of 6 to spread out during the evenings, kitchen/dining room were perfect for cooking and enjoying meals together, and rooms and sleeping arrangements were great. We didn't use the hot tub but a great perk for the cooler months! The deer visited our yard often and the kids enjoyed that very much. Massage chair was a hit with Grandma! Plenty of games and entertainment for the entire family. Our host was also very responsive when we needed to contact her about a minor hot water issue and the issue was resolved. Great stay!

Wonderful Time

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at this property. The pictures just don’t do it justice. The house is very cute, comfortable and nicely appointed with everything we needed during our stay. We had fun walking the roads and nature trails in this community. Heard barking seals playing in case inlet, lots of hummingbirds and deer. The hot tub was clean and wonderful to relax in. We have been thinking to buy property in this community and it was great to experience it first hand. Would love to own here and/or visit again when warmer to take advantage of the kayaks and beach more. Olympic Bakery was a fun outing, the sandwiches, baked goods and ice cream are amazing. Was just what we needed to relax and celebrate our 20th anniversary and spring break.

Fun getaway!

This was our 3rd visit to this property. It is warm and homey feeling and is in a perfect location. The large living room has plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and be comfortable. It's so peaceful there we didn't turn on the TV once during our 3 day stay. We spent a lot of time down at the beach, and walking the trails. We did get there 15 minutes early so tried to enter with our code but it wouldn't work. Check-in is 4pm sharp unless you make other arrangements. There were a few minor things that we addressed with the owner on our way out so that she was aware of them. It is a lovely place to getaway and we do plan to go back.

Bright and clean home in the woods

We were thrilled to have found this little gem. Jenny had great communication before we arrived and even let us know we could check in earlier. The house was spotless upon arrival and a basket of wine and s’mores fixings along with fresh flowers awaited us. We loved how bright and updated everything was. It didn’t have the musky, damp smell and feel that a lot of these rentals in the woods tend to have. The hot tub worked perfectly and our entire family loved it. There were also ample games, a decently stocked kitchen, dvds and automatic reclining sofas which we all also loved. We hope to be back during the summer to make the most of the water activities and warm weather. We had a great time!

This beautiful home was beyond what I expected. When I see a house in the woods, I think "rustic." This home is beautifully designed. Everything looks clean and well cared for. The linens and towels are fresh and comfortable. I was thrilled to discover that in addition to a Keurig and drip coffee pot, there was also a tea kettle so that I could enjoy a lovely cup of tea. There is a tv in the master bedroom and another in the living room. Thankfully the bathroom is downstairs next to the master. The other two bedrooms are upstairs. When we arrived, the hot tub was set at a comfortable 102 degrees. The hosts sent clear instructions on how to enter which made checking in very easy. We hope to rent this lovely home again when we can enjoy a longer stay.

Peaceful cottage in the woods

I can’t say enough nice things about this adorable property! It was perfect for a quiet weekend to recharge. Harstine Island is close to the city (just 1.5 hour drive from Renton), but so extraordinary peaceful! The property is in a lovely neighborhood, and even though the houses are close together there are so many trees it feels very private. All the residents we met were very friendly. The house is very comfortable, beautifully decorated, and full of wonderful little amenities. The kitchen was fully stocked, there were lots of board games, beach towels for the hot tub, cozy blankets for the couch. We appreciated the smart TV. Check-in was simple and well communicated. The owner was responsive and helpful. Our only quibble was the heat was turned off when we arrived, which on a 45 degree day made for a very chilly house! It took several hours to get the house heated to a comfortable temperature. We would absolutely stay here again, possibly in the summer when we can explore more hiking nearby.

There was a bottle of wine and the makings for S'mores waiting for us when we arrived, which was a very nice touch!
