About this property

Gorgeous open concept. King, queen and bunks. Kayaks, games, videos. Family fun!

Surrounded by tall cedars our house is situated right in the middle of the amazing private community of Hartstene Pointe. A cozy front porch living room greets you. Then walk into a large great room with an 8 person dining table, a large well-stocked kitchen with a breakfast counter and a living room with 2 comfortable couches and a game closet for hours of entertainment, plus DVDs. Off the kitchen is a 3/4 bath with a washer and dryer. The back of the house has a main suite with a king size bed and a on-suite bathroom with a large soaking bathtub. In the middle of the back hallway is a bunk room that can sleep up to 4. The last bedroom is in the corner with a comfy queen size bed and two windows looking over the forest. There are tons of board games, toys, stuffed animals and videos to keep kids entertained, even indoor nerf hoop! Plus 10MB WIFI works great. Everything in the community is close by--hiking trails, beaches, seasonal pool and hot tub, clubhouse, lagoon for fishing, marina, tennis courts and more. You will not want to leave.

Perfect Peaceful Birthday Getaway!

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.....

Amazing time with family and friends

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!

Perfect family getaway

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!

A week in PacNor Paradise!

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!

Beautiful home for family vacation

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 didn’t take advantage of the pool or beach but they looked lovely. We had no problems and had a great week here.

Exactly what we wanted

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?).

Phenomenal

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 isn’t 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.

Family Celebration

Wonderful property at Hartstene Pointe. Photos don’t 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!

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!

Best week ever!

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!

Awesome get away

Had a really great time here, enjoyed the beaches and trails. Download the key code and patrol cell number before you get to the island. We arrived after business hours and couldn’t get patrol to answer from the call box. Then someone let us follow them through gate but we didn’t have cell service to pull up the key code. The pool was fantastic, nice and warm and not crowded. The house was very spacious and well stocked. Appreciated being able to bring our dog with us and even off leash on the beaches.

Picture’s don’t do this place justice

First let me start by saying this place is bigger than it looks in the photos. The home is clean and cozy. There are all sorts of games, air hockey, books, movies, streaming services, dishes, spices, condiments…. THE WORKS. Wifi works great! Grill works great and we had dinner one of the nights on the front porch. That’s just the start of the great things about this place. The community is PEACEFUL. No chaos, friendly neighbors everywhere we went. Pool was heated, playground was safe and sturdy for my 1 and 3 year old, fitness center has everything needed for a short stay workout, there were places to sit around the fire and enjoy each other’s company and the clubhouse was very inviting with lots to do. It was too cold to enjoy the lagoon. But that looked pretty cool. Same with the beach. The trails were nice and we even met a friendly deer. Last but not least, the hosts, Sarah and Lyon answered any questions I had and stayed consistent with communication from the initial booking to the actual vacation. Thanks for making Father’s Day weekend FANTASTIC! We Look forward to the next time we can come out here. FYI: signal away from the home is touch and go. But there are so many other things to do other than be on your phone.

Sublime treat

This was a 50th bday get away. The property and community offered rainy day and sunny weather fun. It did not disappoint! We chilled in the cozy living room and covered porch space, cooked in the spacious kitchen, explored the trails, local park and sun bathed and kayaked at the point. It couldn’t have been a better birthday. I highly recommend this wonderful retreat.

About the host

Hosted by Lyon Terry

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

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!
