2400 sq ft Luxury Hartstene Pointe Retreat with Pool, Beach & Hi Speed Internet
Pool and Spa – Closed for the Season The Pool and Spa will remain closed and will not open this summer season. Pools are not addressed until Phase 3 of the recovery plan implemented by the State. If everything were to go according to plan the earliest they could open would be the end of June. However, the only information available at this time sets capacity restrictions with stringent cleaning requirements and social distancing. The chlorinated pool water is basically safe. The Board made its decision based on exposure to pool monitors, not being able to ensure the safe cleaning and disinfecting of the restrooms and high touch surfaces throughout the pool area specific to COVID19 requirements. The design of our facilities makes it difficult to maintain proper social distancing - our showers/bathrooms are long and narrow, the entry way is congested, the spa is small and our pool deck is relatively narrow. With reduced capacity limitations it would be difficult to administer a fair and cost effective means to limit maximum use at any given time.
Relaxation and beauty await you at Hartstene Pointe, a gated community on Hartstene Island. Our spacious custom built home completed May 2008 offers 2400 sq feet of comfort. Whether you want a large family vacation or a quick getaway for 2, our cabin at the Pointe will become a destination you want to return to every year.

Peace and Quiet at the tip of the Island: Hartstene Pointe is close to Metropolitan areas yet as far away from it all as you can go. The road stops here and so does the noise and hussel bussel of city living. Among the trees deer and other wildlife wonder about without concern for their safety, The posted 15 mph speed limit is patrolled to keep the area safe for hikers and bicyclists young and old.

Always love staying at the Barmon home. The property manager Kim is phenomenal - super communicative and helpful. There was a slight mix-up upon arrival and Kim addressed it immediately and everything went smooth from there. Would absolutely stay there again!

Sorry you had issues with the tvs. I wish that you had called Kim as she would have resolved any issues.
We enjoyed our stay at this well-appointed house. We explored Harstene Island, swam at the clubhouse pool, and explored the Harstene Pointe trails. In the evenings, we enjoyed dinners on the deck, prepared on the excellent grill. Recommended for families.

Thank you for your review. Happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay.
This was our third visit to this home, and it was wonderful as always. We had four teens with us, and they enjoyed biking and exploring the beach. There’s plenty of room to spread out and relax. We’ll be back!
This home was exactly what we were hoping and more. So much space and the scenery is idyllic. We hope to stay during the spring or summer. The hosts and property manager were beyond wonderful.

Thank you for your review. We are always happy to hear when our guests had a great stay.
My family and our friends enjoyed our stay on this beautiful island, wished it was a longer trip, and are looking to return again this summer. It was very peaceful and the house was comfortable and accommodating for two families. The property manager was fantastic!

Very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Please join us again in the future.
We’ve been going here for 38 years. It’s our paradise.
Once our family grew, I had to look for a rental. This place has it all. We will be yearly renters for sure. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Plenty of space. Nice surroundings. There were only three of us but it could accommodate at least 10 probably. It’d work for multiple families or a large extended family. Looks to be more to do in the summer but it was a nice forested getaway for Christmas break.

About the host
Hosted by Harry & Sue Barmon
The Barmons enjoyed the serenity of the Harstine Pointe environment for years and hope you will too. In fact, Harry loves Harstine Island so much that he was on the Board of Directors and head of the Architectural Control Committee of the Hartstene Pointe community at its beginning. He also personally poured the concrete on the original fire station, supervised volunteers and framed the structure which was later converted into the fitness gym.
Why they chose this property
Harry designed and built Barmon's Vacation Home what it is today. Harry and a small crew had worked tirelessly weekend after weekend to construct the foundation, framing, siding, stone work and finish on the house. The hardwood moldings were made and finished on site. Harry paid close attention to detail when designing this house for form and function. You are safe from snow or tree falling while in Barmon's vacation home as the engineered structure was designed for shear and wind resistance to withstand such a blow. Much of what you see inside the house is attributed to Sue's gifted talent of interior decorating. The interior design is an expression of Sue's endeavor to create a relaxing and inviting setting to blend the interior with the forest surroundings. Sue's careful eye and design skills can be seen through out the house right down to the door bell bear paw. Whether they were on vacation or out shopping, Sue's amazing ability to think of everything tied all of the decorating elements together before the house was finish being built. Her incredible attention to detail makes this home show room ready and worthy of a magazine spread. As you walk around the house, you'll notice the stylish, professionally framed art, black and white photography. Talent runs in the Barmon's family, as these photos were taken by their 14 year old daughter, Lauren. Also, in the bathrooms, the high end custom tile work was done by the Barmon's talented nephew, Travis. Landscaping of native plants was also professionally done by David Barmon's landscape and design company which specializes in native plants. As you can see, the Barmons are dedicated in making this wonderful vacation home as though you would want your home to be. The Barmons have enjoyed this home for years and want to share it with you.
What makes this property unique
Our home is equipped to provide all of the comforts that you might expect from the finest of vacation rentals. Set in tall native Douglas Fir, Cedar and Hemlock the home was designed to keep touch with its surroundings. Whether sitting in front of the fireplace looking out through the expansive wall of windows enjoying a passing storm or kicked back at the community pool or at the beach on a sunny day this is the place to relax regardless of the weather. We strive to make your vacation a memorable experience where you can relax with friends and family or share a private getaway for two.
