The open concept of the house was spacious and comfortable for our adult family of four and one medium-sized dog. The house was well stocked, had wi-fi, and several games and puzzles. We especially loved spending time on the porch. We left a day early because my allergies flared up. We didn't ask (and wouldn't have) for a refund of one night, but they generously processed a refund.
Our stay is always too short! We've stayed at this house over and over again the past several years and the host family consistently has the home clean, well-stocked and ready to go!I love the solitude, space and beauty this location offers and I can't wait to get back. Wi-Fi made it possible for my wife to tend to a couple last minute work items while the pickle-ball court and the beach gave my sons an outlet. Quiet reading on the porch or a nice run through the trails and along the beach is also great!We cannot wait to go back again!
Check in with the Maintenance Association. The location is near the middle, not too long of walk to the clubhouse, but a long walk to the point. The house was very comfortable for the eight of us. Deer walked through daily.
We have been staying at this cabin for years now and it never disappoints. Spacious, clean, and comfortable accommodations. Our adventures included playing on the beach, fishing, biking, and pickleball.
We've stayed at this house multiple times and it's always so nice to return!
All of the comforts we've come to appreciate, and the surrounding area is so relaxing! We've already booked our next visit and can't wait to return!
This cabin in the woods on this remote island was the perfect family getaway for my birthday. The house has all you need to relax and unwind. So cozy and peaceful. The outdoor living room was especially nice since it rained. We did not want to leave.....
My family and I have stayed at this house multiple times and thoroughly enjoyed doing so again. It's always so clean and comfortable and centrally located to all the amenities within the Hartstene Pointe community!
The layout of the house lends itself perfectly to time spent with family or relaxing quietly with a good book. We positively loved our stay here and have already booked our next visit! Can't wait to be back!
Amazing stay! The house was perfect for kids/family . Lots of toys and games. Neighborhood was so peaceful and safe The house as a whole was cozy and made you feel right at home. The pool ,beaches , and hanging on the porch were daily activities we loved doing as a family. If I ever travel back to Harstine Island, I will be staying here again! 10 stars!
We loved the house, island and all the amenities included. Best 4th of July ever. The weather was perfect and tons of activities for families. We would love to book this house in the future. It was perfect.
We have stayed at this house so many times and love the way it is always so well maintained - so comfortable and fits our family just perfectly! The hosts are always so considerate and thoughtful, and we couldn't be more grateful! After a hectic fall season, this long weekend was just what all of our family members needed: time to read, walk, think, play and explore. Nailed it!
Our family has been fortunate enough to stay at this wonderful house and in this community a number of times now and this trip did not disappoint!
The house was so comfortable, clean and well-stocked all we had to do was relax, recreate and enjoy! We've already booked our next visit and keep checking our calendars to see how much longer we have to wait until we can return! Thank you again!
The house was just as pictured. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we would need. It was handy to have pack n play and games for the grand kids. It was close enough to many hikes and a little longer drive to Olympic National Park. The weather was cool so we didnât take advantage of the pool or beach but they looked lovely. We had no problems and had a great week here.
This home/community center was exactly what our family wanted for a short summer vacation. The home is a quiet, relaxing design at a great value and is close to a fun community center that is perfect for families. We could easily have spent 3-4 more days. The home itself is spacious, comfortable, and easy to use. The community center is an easy walk for kids, has a great pool/hot tub, and a pool/ping pong table that kept our crew entertained for days. The beach is a short bike ride or walk away and has great views of Rainier and shell hunting at low tide. We would have loved kayaking and trail walking if we had extra time. The home has great games and fun activities. The only thing that could have been improved is that the DVD player would not work (user error?).
Came with 4 kids, 4 adults, and a newborn. The house was equipped with everything we needed for the whole family.
We enjoyed every moment, even the rainy days. Kayaking, basketball, tennis, hikes, ping pong, board games at the clubhouse, grilling, movies. Saw a lot of seals. Ate Dungeness crab. Made fires at the spit.
One thing to note (I might have missed in the listing) - this property isnât on the water, though the development has miles of private beaches. So you need a tow hitch to get the kayaks to the beach. Thankfully we had one.
Thanks Lyon for this incredible slice of Pacific Northwest magic.
Wonderful property at Hartstene Pointe. Photos donât do it justice! We had a weekend-long family event at the beach; 6 adults and one toddler were very comfortable staying here and 1 family/friends dinner with a couple more adults worked great. Property owner is very responsive and easy to work with. 5 stars!
The place was clean and well cared for. Lots of hiking trails near by. Beautiful views. The community is nice and friendly. There are tons of areas to sit by the water and have a BBQ. The pool is clean. My kids enjoyed the club house as well.
We had another great stay with our family. As always we enjoyed the home, fun times at the pool, bbq and kayaking at the beach,, fire pit at the spit, tennis by the beach, fishing at the marina, and the family of deer that came by to say hello every so often at the house.
Looking forward to another trip next year!
This was our 3rd stay at this house (5th at Hartstene Pointe). What was different this time was that we stayed for a full week, and every day was blissful! This house has everything a family could need - pack in enough food for a week and everything else is just there. Amazing days spent swimming at the pool or down in the lagoon, walking the trails and taking in the solitude and space that Hartstene Pointe is so good for - then changing gears and playing pickle ball or tennis, going for runs, a bit of fishing and then grilling dinner and relaxing in the cool shade of the comfortable porch before going down to the spit for a campfire - where we got the bonus of staying late enough to watch the Perseid meteor showers... Entire family woke up the next day asking whether that actually happened...unreal! Loads of gratitude to the hosts for letting us use their very special home again. We would love to come back for a 4th stay someday soon!
I believe this is the third time we have stayed at Lyon's house on Hartsteine Island. We really enjoy the tranquility, and the friendliness of the area. The house is well equipped, and very clean. I know we'll be back again!

We are a family of four who live in Seattle. We have spent many weeks at the Pointe and love the slow, quiet pace--plus the beaches, trails, pool and tennis courts. As our kids have grown, we are using it less and less, so we thought it would be great to open it up to others to enjoy.
Island vacation. No ferry hassle. You can park your car and not get back in it throughout your stay. Everything at the Pointe is bikable or walkable. Cars drive slow--15MPH is strictly enforced and followed. So, you always feel safe on the roads, but there is almost always a trail to walk on that parallels the road as well.
2 sit-on top kayaks and bikes are available for renters. If you bring your own (also recommended) then there is a garage to leave them in. There are also beach toys and beach chairs and other outdoor games including fishing gear, pickle ball rackets and tennis rackets. You will not want to leave!
