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!

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.

Lovely property, great owner!

I am a travel nurse and my husband and I stayed here during my recent assignment in Olympia. Though it was an hour drive each way to work, it was 100% worth it. Lyon was so easy to deal with and very responsive. The house and community were amazing. Hiking trails and beautiful beaches all over the island. The house itself was very clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable. The master bedroom was amazing..it is huge, with a nice soaking tub in the bathroom. We would definitely rent this house again!

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.

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.

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.

Another great stay!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Lyon Terry

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!
