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. Situated in a beachfront vacation community with club house, pool, hot tub, tennis courts, gazebo's on the beach and more.There is something for every one to do. The cabin is equipped with 8 mountain bicycles, games , movies and lots of room to relax. The entertainment room is 22 feet by 27 feet and is isolated from the living room to offer peace and quiet while the kids enjoy themselves.


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.

The cabin is in tune with its surroundings.: The cabin offers a spacious place to kick back and relax. Surrounded by forest of tall Douglas Fir, Cedar and Hemlock the structure views into native Huckelberry and other plantings like, Apple, Plum, Blueberry,
Rhodendrons and more. Get in touch with nature while sitting on the front porch (10x12 feet ) or the rear deck (12x20 )feet or look out any window. Regardless of the season this is all about relaxing be it outdoors or snuggled in front of the gas fireplace.

Hartstene Pointe has a lot to offer.: The Pointe has 3.5 miles of private beach, sheltered picnic areas, tennis courts, basketball, club house, pool and jacuzzi. There are numerous trails to hike or just stroll along the beach.

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.

Great spot for group of friends

This house was great for our group of 8. The house had everything we needed from the kitchen to the laundry to the bikes. Lots of bikes to choose from for all ages and sizes. The only heads up is there is a queen mattress that you can plop down in any spot of the house which wasn’t the most comfortable. But it worked for one of our younger friends. The location of the house is really beautiful.
