There were cobwebs everywhere we initially picked this spot for the pool which was closed and the hot tub was closed as well and we didn’t find out it was a community pool until we were already there

Great views, beautiful location, quiet. The house however is not clean. Stained bedding very old, needs replaced. No closets. No laundry facilities. Multiple cobwebs, spider eggs, and house is infested with flees, we had to spray for flees. We vaccumed a whole canister full of other people's dirt, hair, etc. I have pictures.

Pros: Very safe neighborhood! Steps from the beach! Comfortable beds!Cons: Super strict HOA gate rules. No WiFi. Pretty far from everything.This place is exactly what it says: rustic cabin. My family and I were perfectly comfortable, but we did come out here to explore the PNW and putting a time limit on that was difficult, since everything is far. Also, is the late cutoff at 8pm? 9pm? 10pm? All three of these times are listed in different places.It is a beautiful neighborhood, and my husband said the community center (pool, hot tub, games) was well stocked and clean.The cabin itself was mostly clean, but my daughter did find sand in her bed on the first night we were there… which, as a rustic beach cabin, makes sense. Sand has a way of being everywhere!Overall, we recommend it if you plan on staying in the neighborhood or aren’t doing a ton of outdoor exploration.

Needs improvement!
This house seriously needs improvement. The shower curtain was completely busted, so when we took a shower, water went everywhere. Also, the house has so little venting and so much moisture trapped into the carpets, etc, that if the windows are shut, there is significant condensation on the windows. There is a musty smell, and the beds are very uncomfortable. That said, the location is IDEAL, the beach and swimming pool are amazing, and the place is dog-friendly - all of which are serious positives.

Not kid friendly… really needs updates
View is beautiful, location is great! Does not have kid friendly features. I know it doesn’t advertise these basic features, but I want to make sure and note that as some aren’t as thorough in reviewing to ensure what has become to be expected in most rentals as part of the package.
Basics NOT included: WiFi, washer/dryer
Noted as included, but not functional: DVD player.
General comment on home condition: the first thing we noticed when arriving was the smell of mildew. I *know* it’s supposed to be like the original, but in this case, the carpet is most definitely the original as installed in 1970’s… literally more than 40 years old. Time for an update!
Thanks!!

Home needs plumbing and interior upgrade before it will be acceptable home to rent.
Plumbing so old that toilet clogged, could not be plunged and we had to move. We were without a working toilet a full day. Kitchen equipment is sparse, knives dull, carpet and furniture are old and dusty. Cleaning job was haphazard.
Location is across street from North Beach Park and hiking trails. Nice access. Neighbors are rude and clearly unhappy that renters are in the community.
I do not recomment staying here.

Great area, house needs a better manager
The good outweighed the bad, but someone needs to fix a few things there. First the good: entry code worked for us. the beach is great for kids, lots of rocks to collect, but sandy. Water is clear. On clear day, nice view of Ranier. Deer, dolphin, seals, and bald eagles. Nice walking trails. The Clubhouse is open. Pool, chess, checkers, games, ping pong table and Internet. Lots of books and videos and games to borrow. Also, the house has a fantastic fireplace and lots of wood to use outside. Bring a box of those fire starter pieces to easily start the fire.
The bad: VRBO totally unresponsive. Cabin has no Internet (which we knew) or phone service so, can't really call from there. There are no instructions about who to contact with issues. Seems it would be VRBO, but no response. The house was freezing when we got there. No one thought to turn up the heat for us, I guess. DVD player doesn’t work. Toilet seat is broken. Pans are in bad shape (Teflon scraping off). Knives are dull. Fridge makes a loud noise all day and night. Beds need a comfortable top layer. One bedroom does not have blinds. There are only 3 towels for 4 people.
I would stay in this area again, but not at this house. For the price at the time we rented, it was overpriced when these things are considered.

Relaxing Retro Local Getaway
We loved the retro 70's motif of the cabin - how rustic and original/ true to the era it was (era in which it was built). It was VERY clean, despite being pet friendly, fully-stocked with fun games, great DVD options and kitchen needs. There is radient, baseboard heaters and they even provided firewood for the wood burning stove (not sure if they always provide it but very nice to have a cozy fire).
The location of the cabin, inside the community, couldn't be better - directly across from beach/ water access and a park with covered common space & fire pit. We were there in the winter and didn't use the porch but in the warmer/ dryer months, it would be excellent for BBQ and outdoor dining - lots of space.
The community center/ game room was awesome, it has a library, ping pong, pool table, games, bathrooms, playground and a rock painting event for the community members (probably got lucky on the rock painting).
There was a nearby coffee shop & bakery that was fantastic for breakfast and lunch. Grocery stores and other restaurants are about 30 mins away so I'd recommend bringing food.
A few hiccups; as mentioned in a previous post, the 3 digit code provided to get into the community didn't work and the on-site office staff almost refused to let us in and would not give us a code. Once we managed to access the community & house, there was a key card to get the gate open. I would just triple check with Vacasa that you get a good code, especially if you arrive after the office as closed.
There was no window covering in 1 of the bedrooms or loft, not a big deal with all the trees, it wasn't super bright in the morning, but it would be nice for privacy.
Also a bit light on bed pillows (2 per bed), a few more would have made it a bit more comfortable.
Lastly, the listing says the pool MAY be closed for COVID, but regardless of COVID, the pool is regularly closed during the "off season", fall & winter.
All-in-all, we would 100% go back. The property was fantastic, clean, comfortable, great local & tons of on-site amenities.

Quiet islands getaway
We had a great stay and they are pet friendly so we brought our small dog with us. The only downside was the complicated checkin - principally the initial gate entry process. Luckily, a willing neighbor let us through the gate when the provided number (security patrol) failed to respond. Once past the gate, no issues at all. Lots of cycling and hiking in the area. We'll likely be back.

Started poorly, ended strong!
Check-in wasn't great. The number provided to call @ the gate keypad was disconnected. I called "patrol" from the keypad, but unfortunately reached voicemail. I called Vacasa (management for property) directly; they only had the same info I had, but Vacasa rep said she would try to call someone at Hartstene Pointe & ask them to come help. While on the phone with Vacasa someone drove into the community, parked their car inside the gate & got out of her car. She asked if we were residents; we said no, we're renting, but the number we were given to call wasn't working. She SCREAMED at us several times, I'M NOT LETTING YOU IN. We never asked her to let us in, we never even tried to talk to her. She just VERY CLEARLY did not want us there. Awhile after my call with Vacasa I hadn't heard back from them & no one from the Pointe had shown up so I called patrol again from the keypad. This time someone answered & I explained our situation. He was a bit condescending & definitely not eager to help. At that time a resident drove up to the gate & must have overheard my conversation with patrol because he buzzed the gate open & signaled us to go through. A HUGE thanks to that individual! I never heard back from Vacasa & patrols seemed very uninterested in helping, I have no idea how much longer we would've been waiting to get past the gate had that person not let us in. At the cabin we promptly read the rule book and noted the warning about following the posted speed limits, which we would do anyway. We were still yelled at for "speeding" even while driving under the limit. The same person who yelled at us for "speeding" also paced in front of the cabin watching while we were on the deck doing a puzzle-seemingly keeping an eye on us. All that being said, while we were out on walks many others smiled & said hello, so clearly there are some nice people at the Pointe as well. Check-in/people added stress (I work in a busy ER in Seattle & was trying to leave the stress back there!), but other than that the getaway was great. The property is accurately described in the listing & I feel they have addressed some of the complaints mentioned in past reviews. For instance, we had more than enough clean towels & the property looked & smelled freshly & thoroughly cleaned. The location is amazing. The nearby trails were great as were the quiet beaches. Aside from the check-in snafu & some unpleasant individuals, everything else really was perfect. Ultimately enjoyed stay.

Great location but house could use some work
The good:
- Location was terrific. You walk 30 seconds to get to the beach and there are plenty of picnic tables to sit at. There are grills and electric stoves to use as well.
- There were beautiful running trails around the island!
- The clubhouse was great - they have a pool table, swimming pool, ping-pong table, tennis courts, and equipment to rent in exchange for an ID. Lastly, good wifi to work from!
The bad:
- Weak cell connection and NO wifi at the house. It would be nice to reiterate this on the online listing, since I unfortunately missed it. We needed to work on this property and ended up buying a mobile router through Verizon which was barely good enough to last us the week (and thank goodness). The clubhouse had good connection, but can be loud for a working environment with kids going in/out of the building and playing pool/ping-pong. With headphones in and very few meetings, it wasn't bad at all.
- The house could use some work. There are minor repairs that could greatly benefit the feel of the home: (1) The screen door wouldn't properly open/close. We wanted to keep the sliding door open with the screen door closed to let more airflow into the home since it'd get a little musty throughout the day. There were also some holes that we covered with some tape to prevent bugs from coming in. (2) The toilet paper roll was missing half of its piece and sitting above the toilet. (3) The shower curtain was moldy and can be replaced. (4) The ceiling fan in the home will squeak when turned on.
- They gave us 2 towels when we booked the place for 6 people. We luckily had our own towels to compensate and hung them up outside whenever we could. With no laundry unit, I would expect them to better equip us. I'd recommend asking them explicitly to leave you more towels.
- The lighting of the house isn't great and the trees surrounding it doesn't help (though beautiful). We spent most of our time on the deck and hung up our own string lights. I think a few more lamps would easily solve this.
- The house was a bit dusty and musty when we arrived.
The ugly:
- The neighbors are deeply unfriendly. They're very strict about the 15 mph limit and will yell if you're going any faster. They'll lecture you for not having your dog on leash. Avoid the people, I'd say.
Overall, we felt there's a lack of care on the house. There are some VERY minor repairs that should be done especially given the amount they charge for it, and still maintain its rustic feel.
