Comfy peaceful beach stay
Comfy room, giant spa tub with beach access! Quiet and peaceful. Recommend booking an oceanfront room. Very kind and welcoming. Helped us out when our car broke down and needed a jump without hesitation. Appreciate the hospitality! Would definitely book again!

There was no ocean view but a very short drive to the public beach. The room was clean and quiet. Check in and check out were super easy. The beds were super comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen but,
it seemed like a very adequate kitchen. I guess My only complaint would be that there wasn't enough seating in the living room and the bathroom is tiny. But it is a small cabin. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again

Coastal dream get-away
Made the booking last minute for my spouse's birthday. The room was adorable and cozy! The bed was super comfy, views didn't disappoint, and leaving the back windows open allowed us to hear the ocean all night while we slept.
Definitely plan to return in the future and better prepare to make use of the kitchenette so we only leave for beach walks!

Great Value!
The staff was amazing and friendly. It was a super laid back environment and chill stay.
The cabin was small and older and it is definitely not in a fully-appointed resort, but it was exactly what we needed for a family vacation.
Value-wise, I have nothing but praise for this place and would absolutely return.

Cute but could be better
Cute cabin but the beds were uncomfortable and the kitchen had many ants. A comfortable recliner would be a great addition.

We stayed in a beautiful little cottage. We were able to have a campfire and roast marshmallows the weather was beautiful and it was amazing to hear the ocean and pond frogs at the same time.

Très beau lodge
Très joli lodge situé à 200m de la plage.
Notre lodge 2 chambres avec sa cuisine était parfaitement équipé et propre. Mention spéciale pour la télévision très grande et de qualité. En revanche bémol sur les stores qui n'occultent pas beaucoup la lumière, du coup on est réveillé tôt ...

Would definitely like to stay again
Our cabin was comfortable, clean, and well stocked kitchen. Perfect for 4 adults. The beach was a nice walk down a lane to the shore. The only issue was the shower was very small. About the size of a phone booth (if you're old enough to remember them lol)
The water was a good temperature and pressure.

I stay here every time I’m in ocean shores which is currently about three times per year and it is by far my favorite local lodging for the Grays Harbor county area. Cute little individual cabin rooms that are clean, comfortable, and just a short walk to the nearby beach. They’re also dog friendly and my pup loves it there too.

So the last time I stayed here was in 2022 and it had a swing set and sand pit for kids. This stay it was gone, Which made it really boring for kiddos.
There was mold in all the windows with dead bugs. The porch was covered in huge spiders. There is a coffee pot but with no water- you have to provide your own water to use it. The fridge kept falling apart every time I opened it.
Overall- it wasn’t as good as it was in the past. I did like being able to check in early. That was huge to me. The staff was kind and friendly. The beds were clean, although didn’t feel Ike a queen felt more like full size. The tv was huge in the room which was really nice.

The stay was terrific. We will book again. One note, the mattress was not comfortable. It felt like sleeping in a boat.
