The Blue Barnacle: Relaxing Island Getaway with Fiber Internet!

The Space
Welcome to a true Harstine Island escape, The Blue Barnacle, designed for comfort and connection. The heart of the home is our fully reimagined kitchen, featuring beautiful butcher-block counters, sleek navy cabinetry, and premium appliances—perfect for everything from slow Sunday breakfasts to big family dinners. While you cook, the large windows offer a front-row view to the forest, where you can watch roaming deer pass through the yard. Our kitchen is equipped with many conveniences to make your stay comfortable (coffee, tea, spices, oil, condiments, etc). With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, our home comfortably sleeps 7. This is a great place to build memories with the whole family!

​Modern Comforts in the Woods
We believe you should be able to "get away" without having to go without. Our home features rare high-speed fiber internet. It’s the island’s premier "Work-from-Cottage" sanctuary, ideal for video calls, seamless 4K streaming, or just staying connected.

​Community Perks: The Resort Life
Your stay includes full, exclusive access to Hartstene Pointe’s exceptional amenities, all just a short walk away:
- ​Swimming Pool & Hot Tub: A favorite for summer relaxation (Memorial Day through Labor Day).
​- Private Beaches & Fire Pits: Explore 3.5 miles of saltwater shoreline and community bonfires.
- Sport Courts: Tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts are all at your disposal.
- ​Miles of Trails: Wander 5.5 miles of maintained, forested walking paths throughout the gated point.

Harstine Pointe is located about 30 minutes outside of Shelton on the north tip of the island. The community is gated and gives access to 3.5 miles of private beaches, 5 miles of walking/hiking trails, and community amenities (pool, spa, tennis & pickleball courts, barbeque pits, kids play structures etc). Because Harstine Island is a bit remote, we encourage you to grocery shop in Shelton prior to heading to the Island.

We provide beach towels for the pool, rackets & balls for tennis and pickleball, a few chairs and sand toys. Also for rainy days we have games, puzzles, toys, and a smart TV, etc.
