Holiday rentals with a kayak in Harstine Island

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!

This property is amazing! The hosts were super friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond! They made me feel very comfortable, and were a pleasure to rent from, especially for such a last minute weekend excursion. I do want everyone who rents here to be aware that it is very important to stay within the property and that includes the beach. The neighbors are not comfortable with renters venturing past the property line. But the oysters right in the backyard beach of the Airbnb were SOOO good, and plentiful! I overlooked a message with important information such as, WiFi password, the rule regarding the beach access, and sauna instructions. This is my own mistake, I want everyone to be vigilant so you don’t have any hiccups like us along the way! Again, the hosts are amazing, respectable, and kind people with a beautiful, fun rental. Understand the rules, respect the neighbors privacy, and rent this Airbnb it was amazing!

This is a really nice spot in a well designed space. All the amenities are thought through, it’s a quiet neighborhood, and the outdoor space is beautiful.

Beautiful, serene, and private location—perfect for a peaceful family getaway. The home was well-equipped with thoughtful amenities, and our toddlers especially loved the toys. The space felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

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!

We had a fantastic stay! The location is beautiful, quiet, and private. There is a staircase from the property directly down to the beach. We'd originally planned on visiting the public beaches on the island, but ended up spending the entire weekend at the property as it had everything we needed. The house was very clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed the hammock, fire pit, cornhole, and the visiting deer! The air hockey and ping pong tables were also great to have when we needed a break from the sun. Very much recommend Alicia's place and we hope to stay again!

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.

One of a kind experience! Our family visited with the in laws from out of town and had such an incredible time. The hosts were so helpful with all their great communication. Everyone was so impressed with the lot size and location. Waking up to the beautiful views was inspiring. This is an oyster lover's paradise! Just walk out to the backyard and they're everywhere. Roasting marshmellows and hanging out by the firepit was truly memorable. The kids really appreciated the game room with air hockey and video games. All the toys and books were a nice added touch. Thank you, Vy! We look forward to visiting again.

It is not often that a place far exceeds expectations, but this place was far and beyond what we thought we were getting. Pictures do not capture the beauty and comfort this place offers. We had great weather, and were able to enjoy the paddle boarding, kayaks, float tubes, fishing, and swimming. It truly is “Lake Life” meets Puget Sound. The staff go out of their way to make sure guests are not just getting what they paid for, but are truly enjoying themselves and the resort. Very reasonable mooring fee and if you’re paying attention to tides the boat launch is more than adequate. If you’re not enjoying your stay, I’d say it’s a “you” problem. The Admiral Cottage has a waterside bedroom and a deck that will make you wish you had booked another night. Thanks to all who made our stay truly relaxing and entertaining.

Beautiful location and amazing restoration of a cabin which was built in the 1920’s. My family owned this cabin for many years. Erika bought it from the people we sold it to in 2002. She brought our beloved cabin back to life. It was a surreal experience for me to returnto “ the cabin” 20 some years after we sold it. Everything was exactly like I remembered but far better. A beach place which everyone falls in love with as soon as they enter the front door. We hope to return to this little bit of heaven soon. Thank you Erika for sharing your cabin with us!!!

I visited the cottage to escape the city for a few days. This place is absolutely adorable— completely drenched in natural sunlight. It manages to maintain its historical charm while also feeling modern. I did some remote work during the visit & the WiFi worked perfectly— I could even get signal sitting outside. It was a little too chilly to take advantage of the water, but even just sitting outside on the floating dock or the balcony provided a lot of peace. This place is the perfect mixture of providing a secluded feel while still being just a short drive to grocery/ restaurants. I truly loved my stay here & am already trying to figure out when I might be back!

Great overall stay, definitely recommend for people looking to have a peaceful getaway. The host was fantastic and very organized. Hope to plan another trip here in the future!

We were in Port Orchard for a graduation and we stayed at David’s place for peace and quiet after fun filled days! It was just perfect! We loved having our coffee on the porch in the morning while enjoying the view! The place was spotless and comfortable and we felt right at home! We will definitely stay here again any time we’re in town!

Tim and Lorrie were Amazing!! From the moment we arrived we found home made cookies and fresh flowers. This place was beautiful. Everything about it. It was a perfect get away from the noise, even our kids said it was a 10/10. The photos don’t do it justice. We will definitely be back again.

Jacob's place is really special! The view and outdoor seating area would make this spot worth it, but the house is also really well taken care of, cozy, and enjoyable to spend time in. We loved our time here and felt it was a great home base for exploring the area or relaxing on the water.

This our second stay and we hope to be able to return. The house is right on the water. At times, you look out of the living room (at high tide) and feel you might be on a boat. We were so grateful and happy to be there three weeks, and grateful to that the owners share so much: boats, standup paddle boards, sauna, coffee, tea. The house is clearly loved and cared for and it feels special to be inside of it. For those who don't know, Harstine Island is quiet. We loved running in the state parks (there are two), the Saturday summer farmer's markets, but also just loved walking along the beach by the house and reading on the deck. Five very big stars. It is truly heavenly.

We had a wonderful and peaceful vacation weekend in Allyn! Fang’s home was easy to get to and settle into. We loved watching the water and tides, and it was easy to walk to restaurant, coffee shops and more. We spent most of our days on day trips in the region (Staircase Ridge & Hama Hama Oysters, and the Tacoma Zoo). This was the perfect place to recharge. We also loved the kayaks and hot tub, and generally cozy space. Fang was proactive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay as well.

Stunning views, a lot of water activities. The place is cute and comfortable, will come back!

If you want a location that gives you the sense of seclusion and provides you with great amenities to relax and unwind, then this is it. With two younger kids the bunk beds on the upper level were perfect and the king bed on the lower level was comfortable. The house was clean and had what you need to make for an easy stay. The hot tub was a hit, and the there are plenty of water craft options to enjoy the lake. Don’t hesitate to book this property!

It’s a must if you are looking for a peaceful family getaway! Our family really enjoyed the beautiful views, open windows, spacious patio, kayaks and wildlife. The property was very clean, with clear and detailed instructions. Definitely returning for a longer stay!

Molly was the most helpful host, the drive way sneaks up on you but if you read all the items before check in youll know exactly what to look for. The photos Molly provided were so helpful and she was extremely understanding and responsive. The space was absolutely PEACEFUL and perfect for families. The amount of items left for guests to use made everything very simple, lifejackets in all sizes including little pups, kitchen items and plenty of towels. If you can't figure something out through pictures or the check in binder, Molly is right there friendly and ready to help.

Nice and cozy place surrounded by trees. Relaxing to sit outside on the hammock and just listen to nature. You might even get a visit from a friendly deer. They give you everything that you need if you want to enjoy a day or two on the lake. Always answered questions that I had in a timely manner. Food and activities to do in close proximity. They leave brochures for you if you are interested in driving for further out places. Overall it was everything my wife and I were looking for. I highly recommend this place if you are planning a trip in or around hoodsport.

Beautiful cottage on the water! The surroundings are very peaceful. Nice to watch the tides. the kitchen was well outfitted includingna gas range and teapot! Loved it, thanks, Erin!
