Welcome to Seashell Beach Cottage - just a stones throw from the beach
Location: Pacific Beach, Olympic Peninsula & Pacific Coast, Washington State, USA (12 miles north of Ocean Shores) View Map
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible Bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 7-12)
If you are searching for a dog friendly vacation home that is clean, affordable, newer construction, not in a 'development' and a stones throw from the beach - you ARE at the right place.
Seashell Beach Cottage is light and bright (no dark walls lots of window) with a friendly Seashell theme throughout. This is our personal second home away from home. Casual, comfortable and affordable best describe our newly constructed vacation home (2009) at the Northern border of Pacific Beach, Washington.
At Seashell Beach Cottage, you will enjoy a fully furnished kitchen with items including blender, crockpot, waffle iron, electric grill, mixer and cookie sheets. Linens, towels, dish soap, laundry soap and wash cloths are also provided. You need only bring your food, personal stuff, beach towels and things you wish to take to the beach.
We love dogs and have made this a very nice dog friendly home for responsible owners. Dogs love the beach and we are the closest vacation rental home to the beach entrance. We are also the only vacation rental with a fully fenced yard for privacy and a place for the kids and dogs to safely romp. We also have the “Dog Wall of Fame” exclusively for our doggie guests. We hope your dog can join the “wall” after they experience the ocean.
Our sweet beach cottage is about 1360 square feet, but we have set it up to sleep a maximum of 8 adults (4 couples) and 4 children or 3 couples and 6 children. Two private bedrooms with queen beds, 1 Queen sofa bed in the living room and the loft bedroom is dormitory sty1e with one full bed and 1 twin bed and 1 twin bunkbed set and 1 roll out bed. Seashell Beach Cottage is also perfect for 1-2 couples and up to 2-4 dogs.(subject to approval***)
The upstairs master suite has a deck that faces the west. We can not see the ocean through the cluster of trees, but with the door left open, you can hear the sound of the surf as it gently lulls you to sleep. Seashell Cottage uniquely faces the “Enchanted Forest” with the famous “Tree Man” and many elves and fairies live in the forest brush below. It’s a hit for family story time by the outdoor campfire. Nothing like creating memories for the kids as you roast marshmallows and make Smores’s. Our gas grill, patio table and chairs makes having a family barbecue easy and fun.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Pacific BeachThe Beach is fantastic, the town of Pacific Beach is eclectic. We love the personality of it. This little town has its own unique radio station. This is a great place to get together, spend some time bonding and get away from the hustle and speed of daily life. Sometimes in life 'Less is More'. We have found that our guests at Seashell Beach Cottage value the importance of spending quality time together in a relaxing place.
The Unique Benefits at this HouseThe benefits of this home is it is a great place to introduce children to the ocean yet we are in the relaxing surroundings of the trees. Pacific Beach access is a stones throw and we are walking distance to the naval base retreat which offers public dining, a great gift shop, movie theater and bowling alley. Our home was built by a local builder who knows how to create a true beach house with an efficient floor plan and quality materials. We welcome well behaved dogs with well trained owners. We love, train and own dogs ourselves, so we appreciate being able to take them with us. A nice walk down a newly paved road bordered by trees, is both refreshing and healthy as you reach the sandy Beach. This is a place to leave your cell phone and laptop behind. We have two TV's with DVD player, 1 VCR..lots of books, games and a DVD movie library for your enjoyment. We have added basic Satellite service with basic commerical channels. Read, relax, rest and bond with family and friends - thats what we're about.
For a local place to get a good breakfast. Pool tables, pull tabs, bar with karaoke at night. Best Fish n Chips. Sports bar with TV's everywhere.
Two three bedroom, two bath homes connected by triple wall construction with 180 degree ocean views from the west and Olympic mountain views from the east. Jacuzzi tub, in floor heat, flat screen TV
Lots of historic information about this area that was popular at the turn of the century. Interesting stories and old photo's
Historic Caboose and site of future Moclips By the Sea Museum.
Owner's Map of Pacific Beach
Love the little seaside community of Pacific Beach. Eclectic in nature but relaxed. My husband Rich and I have been coming to the North Washington Coast for over 25 years. After being steadfast campers in the mountains, we had a change of heart after being bitten by mosquitoes and hiking up hot rocky mountains. Since heading to the coast 25 years ago, we have stayed in just about every rental, motel, and hotel up the coast. From this knowledge, we have taken the good and the bad and have shaped several vacation homes in the area from ideas of guests and our own experiences and what we enjoy when getting away. When we rented, we always wanted a nice get away to travel to with our dogs, but never got it as dogs were not welcome in the 'nicer' places. We wanted to fill the gap and thus have created Seashell Beach Cottage for a more affordable get away with less of the high-end amenities, but all the cleanliness, comfort and proximity to the beach. We are a NON SMOKING property.

Great house in an excellent location. Very cozy and sweet, beautifully decorated, all the things you need to have a wonderful time. So nice to be able to take our dogs and not have to worry about their safety and the whole beach to run and have fun. You will really enjoy this quiet and lovely home.

The house was wonderful. It was so clean and so well supplied with everything we needed. Our dog loved the fenced back yard. The location is great, we got up every morning and walked down to the beach. Not only was the house great but working with DeAnne was wonderful. She went out of her way to make this such an easy process. We will definitly be coming back!

Located in the quaint village of Pacific Beach the house and location could not have been more perfect.Well within driving range of the major attractions in the Olympic Peninsula this house is perfect for family's large and small. Seashell Cottage is very clean and much more spacious than the pictures show. Our party consisted of young adults (my kids) and old to the very old (me) and we all agreed that the experience far exceeded our expectations.
Owner response:We are glad it exceeded your expectations. Seashell has a great floorplan for a family. and makes good use of the square footage. Centrally located for our explorer guests, there is much to see and do on the Olympic Peninsula.

Thanks to DeAnne and Rich for sharing your lovely beach house! Weren't kidding when you said it was walking distance to the beach! Perfect getaway from the city if you just want to spend time on the beach or even to stay in and watch movies. We played on the beach with the dogs both days, 2 nights wasn't long enough! Perfect for our anniversary weekend!
Owner response:We think Seashell Beach Cottage is a great escape for an Anniversary celebration because it can be very cozy and romantic with our gas heated stove, view of the forrest and sound of the ocean surf from the master suite. Only a short jaunt from our home, it is easy to be romantic as you walk along the beach. The dogs also love the excercise.....and they sleep well.

We celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday here and everyone had a great time. The house is well equiped for all your needs. The gas fireplace keeps the whole house warm and cozy. We even saw a deer wandering through the forest in the backyard. A lovely place to visit (my friend wants to live there!) and perfect for a girlie getaway weekend. Thanks.
Owner response:Seashell is a happy. friendly place and thus a great place to celebrate a special birthday. Nature abounds in the forest in front and you will see deer and other creatures from our floor to ceiling windows in the livingroom.

My husband & I recently stayed at Seashell Beach Cottage and loved it! We've been to Pacific Beach many times before and love the town and the beach, so we were delighted to find a dog-friendly house to rent. The house is VERY clean and well-appointed throughout (including a hairdryer in the bath!). It's very close to the beach and short walk to town. Our daily routine included walking to town, stopping for a latte, then hitting the beach with the dogs and walking up the beach back to the house. The dogs loved the house and even though we cleaned them up before coming inside, it was nice that the house had hard flooring (no carpet) so we didn't have to worry about any accidental paw-prints. We have large dogs (95 & 65lbs) and the open floor plan of the house gave us enough room to move about while they were splayed out on the floor, tired from their beach romps. There is a bedroom & full bath on the main floor and another bedroom with ensuite full bath on the 2nd floor, giving plenty of privacy for guests. We had a fantastic time and loved Seashell Beach Cottage! The owners were a pleasure to deal with and we hope to return again soon!

We just enjoyed a truly relaxing weekend at Seashell Cottage and would highly recommend it as a wonderful place to stay on the North Coast. The house was immaculate and equipped with everything we needed from kite flying to BBQ'ing to movie watching. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful and we loved being such a short walk down to the ocean. Highly recommended!
Owner response:We strive to have a very clean, family friendly home to stay in.

The house is as wonderful as it looks and very conveniently located by the beach access. This portion of the beach is like a hidden gem. There are wide beaches and it has both car/beach access and areas that do not allow vehicles, which is great with kids and dogs. It's also not far to the Quinault Rain Forest, which is a nice day trip. It's a great setup for a family or a few couples. Definitely dog friendly, bowls, towels, sheets just for our furry family! Thanks for sharing your home with us!
Owner response:Location is key in that there are many lovely day trips to the Olympic Peninsula from our home.

This place is a magical little place for me. First impression upon entering is that I could hear the ocean but not really see it thru the stand of mature fir trees. It made me feel I was back at a summer home we had when I was growing up on Whidbey Island. It too, was in the fir trees yet we could sort of see the water thru them, as I could here. And it was a very comfortable home just as I felt at the summer home we went to growing up. Almost a sense of familiarity. I loved it. Cozy and casual, a must for me to be able to relax. Open the doors and hear the ocean roar. ahhh...love it. And I loved the decorating. Very welcoming, and great for families with younger kids. All the amenities were there for cooking, which is important to me. Easy easy access to the beach, another important factor for me. What a wonderful get away!! Thank you!
Owner response:We hope our guests create memories that last a lifetime.
