Holiday rentals with a kayak in Harstine Island

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!

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!

We loved the space. Great views. Windows for days. We even measured some spaces in the house to incorporate into our home build. It’s not a large home but it feels so spacious with all the natural light. Truly feels like home. It’s not a cheap rental but the value is all there. We would love to return sometime! Zero complaints and I’d highly recommend the stay for anyone looking to visit the area.

We had an amazing stay at the Eagle's Lookout Lodge! The place is so cozy and comfortable and the views inside and outside are stunning! We loved the different spaces to play and hang out in. The deck is magical, and is perfect for those hot and sunny days as you're nestled in beautiful shaded trees. We loved eating outside and having quiet evening chats around the fire pit. Melissa was very responsive and available for any needs or questions, and there were some real lovely personal touches to the place and experience. I can't wait to come back!

We had a great stay at this cabin. It was close to the water with wonderful views, and it was convenient to be able to take the kayaks straight down from the house for some afternoon paddling. We saw so much wildlife while out on the water, including bald eagles, hawks, egrets, crabs, and starfish. Gail was a responsive host, helped us out with flexible check in and check out times, and even mailed us a set of earbuds that one of our group forgot at the cabin. Thanks for a great stay, Gail!

Such a peaceful gem! We loved the water views and access, the firepit, the art supplies, and having a cozy space to unwind and unplug. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend getaway. We’d definitely stay again. Thanks!

We had a lovely stay at Cassandra and Eric's cottage. The space is cozy and bright. The location is very private and tranquil, well off the highway with numerous hikes close by. The view is truly the highlight. We were riveted by the nearby eagle activity! The beds are extremely comfortable and everyone slept well. Highly recommended!

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!!!

We loved our stay! The deep sea / blue theme was so welcoming, and the location right on the shore was beautiful. Lots of birds and eagles and cute animals on the property. I fell in love with Edgar the black cat! Margo and Sam are so kind and wonderful. Highly recommend for a single person, 2 close friends, or couple's getaway!

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!

I really enjoyed my stay here . The hosts were super responsive and always very friendly. The space is very small in size but arranged so it isn’t a problem and lots of little nice touches through out. I didn’t use any of their extras but appreciated that they had an emergency toothbrush , hair gel, etc. the kitchen has what you need even if you want to cook a real meal. Don’t worry about the ferry bugging you, it’s surprisingly quiet at night and I didn’t notice it at all. Overall a great place at a pretty good price and I plan to rebook again in the future.

Beautiful place and amazing view. Enjoyed being right on the water - rooms, decks, fire pit(s), and hot tub were amazing. Really enjoyed watching the sea otters in the Sound. Well cared for place.

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.

Though previous guest lost 2 canoe, the host informed me the situation. The place let us forget the pity and we really had great time.

I hesitate to reveal how great Carl's place is because I don't want it to become so popular that it becomes hard for me to book. The setting is spectacular. If you like to cook, the kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans everything you need. There are also basic staples that renters can use. If you don't like to cook, a lakeside restaurant is a short walk from Carl's. The restaurant is currently open Wed- Sun. We went on a couple of short hikes that were close by. Millersylvania Park is about a 15 min. drive. We also enjoyed seeing the Monarch Butterfly Sculpture Garden. Lots of outdoor art and a fun area for kids (or adults) to play in. I had some questions for Carl and he always responded quickly and clearly. Carl and Sue make available everything that the renter might forget to bring: Toothbrushes, Q-tips, shampoo, etc. Did I mention the jar of chocolates? We are not fishing enthusiasts, but it looks like that could be fun. Carl also has kayaks & life vests.

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!

This place has beautiful surroundings and a stunning view. My family and I had a blast.

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!
