Waterfront vacation rentals in Harstine Island

2nd stay here and it was as great as the 1st time. Thanks for the wonderful home. If you want relaxation this home is perfect and has everything you will need.

Our stay was AMAZING! One of our most favorite places we’ve ever stayed! So beautiful with the most amazing views! Tons of space, inside and out! Impeccably clean and equipped for comfort. So private, peaceful, tranquil, and safe! Yet still just a short drive to get anywhere you need to go. The hosts are the nicest people we’ve ever met! At our request, they took their time to chat with us about the area and provided great guidance. They were so thoughtful about our needs, but also respect their guests privacy. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful experience on all fronts! We hope to be back again soon!

This was truly one of the most relaxing weekends we’ve had in quite a long time. We met Sara & Jerry upon our arrival- they were very warm & made us feel comfortable right away. The apartment is perfect for a couple that wants to get away to a beautifully serene, relaxing, & quiet place. The apartment is comfortable & decorated very well. Sara keeps the grounds a gorgeous sanctuary for birds & bees. On a few occasions we even got to see the Bald Eagle couple that like to nest in one of the very tall trees of the property. It was so nice to wake up to a stunning view each morning & just enjoy the view. The stars are out at night so bright & if you ask, Jerry will leave you a little fire wood if you’d like to sit down by the little fire pit they have. Sara & Jerry are both kind, gracious, & hospitable people with a great love for the island & their community. Highly recommend!

Janie was a lovely host and her home is beautiful. The beach is an easy walk with lots of friendly neighbors. The beach was perfect for my son with plenty of sea creatures and shallow water. The bathroom is gorgeous and I loved the bedroom bedding and the bed was super comfy. Her husband made such beautiful and creative furniture making it feel extra special.

Perfect place to recover after surgery. The variety of places to sit and relax was excellent. Really enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook including good quality knives and cookware (much better than many other places I've stayed). Lots of thoughtful details like beach towels and chairs, outdoor blankets, binoculars to watch birds and boats, extra blankets and pillows. The host was responsive to a couple of special needs and we enjoyed the baked goods they provided. It is a bit of a drive to restaurants or grocery stores which was fine for us. It was perfect for rest and relaxation.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid cottage! Came for oyster season and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. It was small, but warm, inviting and comfortable.

Our stay was amazing! Everything we needed was provided. The view was awesome and had a big relaxing lakeside view with chairs. Firepit provided to make s’mores and hang out by the lake under the stars. Would stay again! 10/10

Beautiful location and quiet! Trains not loud at all! Such beautiful views and lovely accommodations.

Very clean. Peaceful and relaxing. Good bed, slept well. Beautiful setting and view of the lake. Steve and his wife were very helpful, friendly, and responsive. Felt at home. Thank you both very much!

Our stay was fantastic. It was everything and more of what we were hoping for. The house was clean, very comfortable, and a beautiful setting. We loved it!

This was a very beautiful, out of the way house surrounded by a very quiet friendly community! Very nice weekend we got to enjoy out on a beautiful lake! Everyone was outside enjoying the weather and water and having a great time!

Our stay at the Ostrich nest was great! Right on the water, with plenty of amenities and a fantastic outdoor space to take advantage of. We kayaked around the island in about 95 leisurely minutes using the provided kayaks and paddles. A/C was available but not needed - yet good to know it was there. The kitchen had everything you'd expect from a short term rental as well. All in all, it was a good weekend.

Relaxed and beautiful location for our family of 3 plus dog. The trek from the house to the beach was, fast and easy with the paddleboards - even the dog enjoyed being out on the water! Lots of room to hangout and have fun. The karaoke battle was pretty epic! Thanks Mike & Eva!

The photos do not lie. Very peaceful spacious accommodations. The kayaks were wonderful for a peaceful late afternoon paddle. It is true that the path to the beach is very steep and not for the faint of heart or legs. The only slight drawback is that sound carries very easily through the air ducts, so if you're in the master bedroom, you will hear what's going on downstairs. But all in all, I would not hesitate to stay here again and again.

South sound is one of our favorite weekend destinations for relaxing at a waterfront cabin, but until now we had never stayed on the Key Peninsula. Caitlin's house was the perfect spot to do that--located right on the protected Filucy Bay with 3 kayaks available to launch right off the beach. Plus convenient to the two state parks and about a 15-minute drive back to Key Center for groceries. The house itself is fairly compact and perfect for a single family--two ensuite bedrooms, with the master being a loft with one of the best views for drinking coffee in bed you'll ever see). The kitchen and dining table also have an expansive view, so you won't miss out while cooking. But the real draw is the enormous patio space--I'm always itching to explore but on our second day we just spent the entire afternoon playing board games outside and enjoying the view.

We absolutely loved our short time here! The home is exactly as described, one of the cleanest Airbnbs I've stayed in, and has an unbelievable view. We saw a family orcas, porpoises, and a seal from the deck! Rose is very responsive and sent all information we needed to use and access the home and amenities! The community hall is also terrific and a great place to meet other visitors/residents of the island. We will definitely be coming back! :)

We were visiting family in Tacoma, so staying near by was the best option. We came home late often but felt safe. Great condo in a beautiful neighborhood with the best views of the bay. Ron communicated well with all the necessary info/issues. Check out his recommendations in his guidebook. Would definitely stay again!

What a great stay at Jeffrey’s place! The check-in was smooth, and the space was huge (so much more than I was even expecting). The amenities looked inviting, and the condo has everything for cooking and keeping things tidy. I would recommend the Fred Meyer in nearby Shelton for groceries and anything fresh you might want, it seems more accessible than supermarkets in Belfair. The spot was extremely private and peaceful, and having our own walking space and beach for the resort was a really convenient touch. Thanks again for a lovely visit!

This is an amazing view. All you need condo setup. Beautiful place. Easy access to bremerton and freeway north.

Ron's condo is quiet, comfortable, and really convenient to the heart of Tacoma. The combination of the cozy interior and quiet setting, with the ability to go quickly to sights and good food is exceptional. The interior is spacious and feels "full-sized" compared to some alternatives with the same specs.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while in town. The condo was exactly what we needed — clean, quiet, and incredibly relaxing after long days taking care of business. The view of the Puget Sound was absolutely stunning. We loved watching the boats go by — it really made the space feel like a peaceful retreat. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for comfort and great scenery in North Tacoma!

Great location, wonderful neighborhood! It was walking distance to where I have been working. Very safe! I lived the patio with a great view of the harbor. Great value!!

Ron's place was as described and in a nice part of town. We enjoyed coffee on the patio and it was a perfect arrangement for our family of 5. Ron communicated well and was very responsive when we had an appliance issue that he helped resolve.

We stayed here for a month and it was lovely. The neighborhood is peaceful, beautiful, and well-located with a variety of parks and amenities just a short drive (or medium walk) away. The unit itself is comfortable and practical with the added bonus of a lovely partial view of the water and being amidst beautiful trees that catch the morning light well. Ron is very responsive and helpful, which made making requests easy. We had a great time exploring Tacoma with this unit as a home base, and I would definitely book again with Ron in the future.
