Beach Getaway
The little cottage was off the beach in Pacific. It had a little peekaboo view of the ocean from the loft. The beach access road was less than 1/2 mile away. You could walk or drive. This cottage was the perfect launching pad for days at the beach and a great place to curl up in the rain.

Cozy Beach Stay
We had a great time at Pacific Beach! The house was clean a nicely furnished with comfy couches. We could watch the rain snuggled by the lovely gas stove. The walk to the beach was close, down a big hill that might be harder with kids. The walk to town was easy. The neighbors are close and I had a strange interaction with one neighbor but he was friendly later. Overall, it was lovely.

Recent stay
We enjoyed our stay very much. Weather was amazingly good for this time of year. The house was well stocked.. The only issue was that the shower head in the bathroom should be replaced as it had terrible water flow. I have very thick hair and thankfully, I didn’t have to wash it.. I would not have been able rinse my hair clean. Please consider changing it. Sadly, I would not stay here again because of the shower..

Nice place to visit in the fall with my partner. No beach access from the house but there is about a block away. Had kites and umbrellas for use. I would stay here again for sure.

Beach Getaway
This is a very nice place to stay and in a nice quiet area. We were looking to relax and have peace and quiet by the Ocean and this place was perfect for that! It was was very well stocked with everything we needed and was very cozy and comfortable. There were even chairs and kites available to take to the Beach. The beach access is within walking distance which we loved! There was an additional charge for early check in and late check out which I didn't agree with but overall we really enjoyed our stay at this property.

It's HOT in here!
I loved the property!! Great location, however there was no air conditioner. The fans provided did not stifle the hot, muggy air. It would be nice if air conditioned was installed for future guests. However, I would recommend staying here.

2nd stay here and will be back
Second stay at house. No hot water first night. No reply from owner after 12 hrs but next morning we relit the water heater with push of red button to restart water heater. Had to do it again 3rd day. May be it has timer but no notice any where about it. Nice and clean property! Great location but will avoid 7/4 weekends next time due to lots of fireworks nearby!

Beautiful cottage but broken toilet
Overall we had a lovely, relaxing stay at the Blue Wave Cottage. The only issue was that when we got there, the upstairs toilet was running and did not work for the duration of our stay. We asked the management company if someone could come out and fix it but no one came. Not the end of the world.

We were here on a business trip and having the house with a full kitchen was a plus with the limited breakfast & lunch offerings in the area. The house was very clean and comfortable. Met the neighbor doggie, and they were very nice.

Has all the things but smells like wet dogs
Overall the space is very clean. There are little touches that show attention to detail (like folded toilet paper triangles, a neatly folded tea towel with brand new sponge and dish soap by the sink, etc). Unfortunately, though, it smelled strongly of wet dog, especially the couches and crocheted blankets. If you’re a dog person this place would be great. But if you’re pet-free, the smell might be off putting.

Pack for the beach
Our group enjoyed our stay at Blue Wave. We all enjoyed the lovely tub. There were plenty of towels and it was easy to wash clothes and towels. The kitchen has lots of kitchen stuff. I would like to see them invest in some basic maintenance, one is the blind in the kitchen, it does not come down at all and it is a known issue. Also pack your own dog towels because they only offer one towel, which is a former bath mat, which makes it thick but small, not ideal. Unfortunately the fireplace did not work when we got there and we are from the sunny dry climate of Eastern Washington so when we arrived it was stormy and wet and none of us were impressed! So we wanted a fire, no luck. The fireplace could not be addressed until Saturday which was half way through our stay and by then the weather was quite nice. Overall I recommend Blue wave as a nice place to stay.

Great for our family and dog too!
This little house near the beach was great for our family with two young kids and our family dog, too. Beach access was very close and accessible and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. The fenced backyard was a plus so everyone could go outside and play. The house was clean and welcoming and we had a great time there.

Very nice
This property is well set up for guests. It’s comfortable and has everything you could need. It is close to the beach. My one complaint would be the fees. Way More than any place we have ever stayed! The ultimate cost was over double the listed nightly price (almost $400/night). My fault for not catching that when I booked it but not sure we will stay again for that reason.

Beautifully appointed cottage
The cottage was exactly as represented online, clean, fully stocked, close to the beach and dog friendly. Our dogs were greeted with bowls and a nice chew. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the fireplace ambience on a rainy day. The kitchen has the necessities to prepare meals and bath linens and supplies were plentiful. The neighborhood was quiet and enjoyable to walk around.

Great tidy fenced in back yard for the doggies was great, particularly with the crappy weather. . no mud or wet grass. Very well accommodated kitchen and many decorative niceties to make it very homey. I loved the jetted tub too! Easy 5 min. drive to Seabrook and 5 min. walk to the beach.

We really enjoyed the house and our stay in the area. We explored up the coast to Ruby Beach and stopped at Quinault Lake to check out that area. It is a perfect 'central' location to check out some things you might miss if you didn't have a nearby home base. House was clean, tidy and stocked well.

Sweet, small pet-friendly cottage close drive to town and beach.
Quiet, clean, rental with comfortable beds, handy washer and dryer, great back patio with fenced yard, cheerful decor, soaking tub with Epsom salts, big windows. Neighborhood was small and quiet - perfect for a quick dog walk. We supplemented our stay at Seabrook here to ensure maximum time at the beach. Literally a minute up the road is our fave restaurant in the area - surprisingly, the dining room at Ocean Crest Resort which Is comfortable, has a fantastic view, great food, lovely service, notable wine list, beach access (via massive staircase), & a gift shop. If you need a place to stay in Moclips/Pacific Beach/Seabrook area for one night or a few, this is sweet little cottage. Note: the kitchen and bathrooms are not stocked, so hit the store for paper towels, toilet paper, coffee for more than 2 people, etc.
