About Harstine Island
There’s a little place called paradise that we all like to go when we want to get away from it all. Many people have different ideas and names for it. We call it Harstine Island. Harstine Island offers peace, quiet and tranquility with breathtaking views, abundant wildlife and great fun for the whole family. This island is heavily forested with Douglas Fir, Hemlock and Cedar trees. There are much wild life from deer and wild birds to ocean beach sea life such as sea lions, seals, and otters. Yet civilization is but a short 10 minutes drive to the small town of Shelton, Washington. The big cities are only minutes away yet this 48.305 km2 (18.651 sq mi) island is tucked away in the Pudget Sound as a secret hide away.
On this island is a private gated community known as Hartstene Pointe minutes drive from the only bridge to the island. Hartstene Pointe is a gated, 215 acre community encompassing the northern tip of the island. Guests there enjoy a secluded, wooded setting with bountiful wildlife surrounded by 3.5 miles of private beaches, breathtaking views of the Puget Sound, Olympic Mountains, and Mount Rainier.
Enjoy the wild life that this region of Puget Sound has to offer. The abundance of sea life includes otter, sea lions, seals, at least five species of colorful sea stars, Red Box crab, and two types of jellyfish. There are moon snail, several varieties of clams that range from smaller than a dime to more than 8 inches across as well as oysters. On the beaches you will find lots of shells as well as areas where live sand dollars grow. Bald eagles nest and are seen during the early Spring. Seagulls, herons, ducks, cormorants, and other birds are common sights year round. Also, deer and raccoons are common sightings and occasionally red foxes, too.
There are so many activities to choose from the clubhouse, marina, boat launches, lagoon, playgrounds, nature trails, covered picnic areas, and pristine sand and pebble beaches. This includes boating, fishing, and crabbing, digging clams, beach-combing. Off the water there are nature trails, four tennis courts, a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, covered picnic areas with stoves and fire pits, quiet paved roads for walks, bicycles, or skates. The clubhouse provides a lending library where you can borrow videos, books, puzzles, and games, comfy sofas and chairs near a fireplace, a pool table and ping pong table. Spend a fun evening on the beach making S’mores at one of the Harstine Pointes gazeboes.
For more things to do, visit Shelton, Washington and explore the surrounding areas.

Hiking
Harstine Island State Park Trail - Hike down into a lush ravine to a deserted beach on an island that has resisted time. Quiet Harstine Island State Park may very well be the best-kept secret in Puget Sound.
Jarrell Cove State Park - Jarrell Cove State Park is a 43 acre marine camping park with 3,500 feet of saltwater shoreline on the northwest end of Harstine Island in south Puget Sound. The forested island park is accessible by road and bridge and is off the beaten path.
McMicken Island State Park - McMicken is joined to Hartstene at low tide by a sandy bar or “tombolo,” about 30 feet wide. The first 100 yards west of the park are state park property, the rest of the bar is private. Walking the beach all around the island at low tide is intriguing because of all the sea life, plus there’s good bird and seal watching. Several trails criss-cross the island through the woods. Trails are narrow and twisting with tree roots in the paths making the walk a challenge. The tidelands are rich with seabirds, marine mammals, and shellfish including mussels, geoduck, horse, manila, and butter and littleneck clams.
Olympic National Park & Forest - World-class hiking trails lace the Olympic Mountain wilderness, leading from mountain streambeds through old growth forest to high-altitude ridgelines with breathtaking views of Hood Canal and beyond.
Olympic Staircase - A Legacy of Fire: The eastern Olympics experience large scale natural fires every 300 years. See how nature has healed herself to towering giants of Douglas fir and natural plants.

Great Place

We had a wonderful time. The home is completely furnished. All you need to bring with you is your own personal items, food and a willingness to leave stress behind (we put ours in the car trunk as soon as we arrived.).

We had a wonderful time at our rental home. We had no problems whatsoever. Everything was clean and directions made it easy to find. Very private and nice family room, we played cards while the kids watched movies on the big screen. We will definitely plan another trip there.

Thanks for loaning us your beautiful home for the week! It was the perfect place for our family to spend some time together. We went on walks, bike rides, and down to the beach daily. :)

Just spent a terrific weekend 4/4 - 4/6 at this wonderful place. Unfortunately a weekend just wasn't enough! We actually lucked out, considering the time of year, and had beautiful weather. The setting of this intimate community is gorgeous, and has plenty to offer. Beach, forest, trails & wildlife. The house and all it's amenites, was fantastic! Hope to return sometime this summer for a full week! Much thanks to the Barman's for sharing this wonderful place.

I wish there were more stars than 5. I also wish we had more time to stay. This is by far the best kept, best stocked home. The pictures don't do it justice. The communities/ammenities were great. There were over4 different beach areas to choose from, all very well maintained. This doesnt feel like a rental, it feels like you are staying at a friends house. When we drove through the gate it felt as if we were in a different state all together. The houses are built around the forest and island. Nature is all around you. We saw deer, racoons, squirells and every kind of bird imaginable. The house is beautiful, all the needed amenities, and plenty of space. We had 4 adults and 6 kids and had more than enough room. Harry really went all out on this "Home". Thank you Harry so very much for this great expericence, we will see you again in the summer!

My family has made an annual summer trip for 18 years and this trip was by far and away the best yet. The home was wonderful and very comfortable. The absence of a TV signal was a blessing. The entire stay was extremely relaxing and I highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to just get away for refreshing vacation. Everyone we met in the community was very friendly and made us feel at home. My only regret is that one week was not long enough. I will try and rectify that shortfall next year. Thanks again Harry. Ron
