Beach House Rentals by Owner ID#294
Location: Washington, USA

Features of the House Spectacular high bluff ocean view. Less than half mile walk to wide, sandy beach. Beautiful three bedroom house built in 2007. Located in Pacific Beach, Washington: 2 1/2 hours from Seattle, 3 hours from Portland, 25 minutes north of Ocean Shores. This is the prettiest section of the Washington coast with a windswept forest on a high bluff, looking down on the beach. Awesome sunsets. Sorry, no pets.

I learned about the area as a kid when my family would vacation at the Sandpiper Resort. There's always something interesting to find on the beach: sand dollar shells, sandpiper birds, seagulls, crabs, clam shells, seaweed, and driftwood. It fulfilled a childhood dream when I bought this house in May 2007.

The house features a large upper deck with wide ocean and sunset view, lower private deck with view, three king beds and a queen sleeper sofa, three HDTVs with DVD players and cable programming, wireless high speed Internet, stereo with four in-wall surround speakers and iPod dock, all new furnishings in 2007, fully stocked kitchen with granite slab counters and stainless steel appliances, large master suite with double- headed travertine tile shower, massage table, dark rich Brazilian cherry wood hardwood floors throughout the house, art glass lighting, ceiling fans, propane fireplace, two car garage, laundry room, deck furniture, charcoal grill with all supplies, and fire pit.

Scrapbooking Retreats - Family Reunions - Group Getaways With three king beds (+ queen sleeper sofa), a dining table for 8, and a large sofa sectional, our house can accomodate large groups in comfort. See our Guest Book for a testimonial by a scrapbooking guest. We've hosted scrapbooking ladies, clamdigging ladies, traveling teachers, and many family reunions. Ample parking on our large lot.
