Great spot for a beach front getaway

We enjoyed our stay here with the family on the beachfront! The views were wonderful, and access to McMicken Island at low tide was easy. The house had fun history on the walls and was kept clean and lovely.

While the house and surrounding scenery are beautiful and unmatched, the best part of our stay was the hospitality that Mike and Shelley extended to us! Thank you for sharing your canoe and bounty with us, we are still talking about how rested we felt and how much fun we had connecting with each other over conversation, cooking yummy seafood food at the house, and watching the wildlife from the beach. We hope to be back some time!

We went with our 3 kids ages 7,10, and 13 and we had the most wonderful time. The property is stunning. Mike showed our kids how to dig for clams which were so yummy! He also showed us around and shared the history of the island on his boat. We will be back! Thank you!

Absolutely Phenomenal

This property is absolutely amazing! Myself, husband, 2 kiddos (4 & 6), and parents stayed for 3 nights. We did not want to leave! Being on the water was so picturesque and relaxing. The location is very remote and private. We brought 3 kayaks and were able to easily put in from the property and paddle around the gorgeous water. I highly recommend and we will be back in the future!

Mike & Shelley are the best hosts ever - so knowledgeable, fun, generous and focused on helping guests enjoy Harstine Island. Harstine is magical: full of wildlife, lots to watch, quiet and serene. No TV (there's cell & WiFi), no traffic; the cabin is nicely situated towards sunrise and glorious views of Mt Rainier and the water. Perfect for decompressing from our modern world while still offering modern conveniences. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. A wonderful paddle boarding spot. The best VRBO stay we've had - thank you, Mike & Shelley!!

Host profile image
I wasBorn and raised here on Hartsine Island. My Grandfather migrated here from Croatia 100 years ago. He and Grandma fell in love with the pristine beauty and peacefulness of this place. They built a farm and raised a large family with many happy memories here.

Why they chose this property

We built our cabin on the homestead site of my Granparent's first home.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy long walks on the beach with our dogs , clam digging, fishing, boating and waterskiing.
