  What a lovely home this is! We truly enjoyed our stay at this well-appointed beach house that affords privacy as well as a nice communal gathering area. The home is on a private road and we had the beach all to ourselves. We were close enough to hike in Olympic National Forest and kayak at Duck Lake in Ocean Shores. We were happy just to hang out at the house and beach, too. I would definitely recommend this home for families or couples.

  Owner response: Thank you for such a nice review, and for sharing your vacation at our home. You had some great weather for outdoor activities! We look forward to your next stay, and hope to speak again soon.

  What a place! We had a wonderful family vacation at this beautiful home with amazing views. The pictures do not do it justice! Don't be put off by the short walk to the beach from the house; our kids found it an adventure every day, and we loved it (close enough, but far enough). The master suite was a beautiful retreat; after our 2 yr old twins were down for the night we had 'movie night' with our 5 yr old up there. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes/pots/pans we needed; we cooked all of our meals there. We actually sat down to a family dinner 2 of the 3 nights we were there! The owners were so accommodating, they even put up a baby gate for us since we didn't need the downstairs level, which made it a much more relaxing vacation for mom! We don't get a lot of family time at home, so it was a much-needed and much-appreciated getaway without a long travel time from Seattle (again, close enough, but far enough). Bring a kite! You will have a fabulous time at this beautifully located home.

  Owner response: I'm so happy to hear that the kids enjoyed your stay--I know how mine love it at the Beach! You may want to take them again in the future for the Festival of Colors kite event that happens every year in Ocean Shores. This year it is scheduled for June 1 & 2 on the beach. It is quite a spectacle--so check the internet for more information, or to obtain the dates for next year. We really appreciate your visit!

  This home was the perfect location for a long overdue family reunion. We wanted a place that was in a quiet neighborhood with private beach access and away from the busy town of Ocean Shores. Nestled in a little community of luxury beachfront homes, Elan Vital is comfortable, offers plenty of amenities, and the sleeping arrangement is great with the rooms on three different floors. This gave everyone the space they needed to get together and visit in groups, catch up on rest, or just relax and enjoy the view. Speaking of the view - it is absolutely tremendous throughout, but the top floor is fantastic. There is also a nice yard if you want the kids outside, but close to home. It comes with a fully stocked kitchen, dvds, toys, and a basketball hoop out back. My family will be back every year to Elan Vital! Thanks Jo!

  Owner response: We really appreciate the great review, and look forward to your return stay. This is our second home, and we sincerely hope your family felt at home while staying at Élan Vital. There are so many great sites on the North Coast, please come again. Don't forget--when you stay at our home the next time, you can and take advantage of the discount we offer returning guests.

  Very comfortable home for a large group. Browsing deer that come close to the house are wonderful to see, especially for citified children. Open floor plan on the living floor of the house is perfect for conversation and eating. The bedrooms are private and each is on a separate floor. We were able to surf and flyfish on the beach in front of the house. We highly recommend this house.

  Owner response: Thank you for the fishing recommendation. My husband is going to try it out during our vacation.

  The house was welcoming from the first moment. The photos do not do it justice as it feels more spacious than depicted, and has a nice flow. It is very open concept so not good for super-privacy seekers, but that wasn't an issue for us. The owners take great care to insure that the needs of guests are taken care of with every amenity. The furnishings are lovely and the beds are super comfortable. Washing machines on the first AND third floors, wow! Wall to wall windows look out towards the beach which is on the other side of lush vegetation-covered dunes -- with daily sightings of bunnies and deer -- across a bridge over a stream, to a practically deserted wide beach. The sense of tranquility was amazing. Gorgeous house.

  Owner response: Thank you for the wonderful review and the beautiful picture in our guest book. I hope that you do not mind if I share it on our Elan Vital Facebook page. It captured perfectly the view from our home the weekend of your visit. It will be even more wonderful to look back upon it as the view and the colors change naturally in the upcoming seasons. What a wonderful gift.

  If you are needing a getaway for a small or large group, this home will meet both your needs and expectations! The gorgeous three story home has spectacular views and every comfort you would need in your own home. The owners have thought of everything for the stay! The short walk to the beach is both relaxing and beautiful. This home is a must on the Washington Coast!

  Beautiful - absolutely beautiful! When we arrived we saw two deer. The house had plenty of room and everything you could ask for. We decided to have a family reunion and had 10 people there including 4 children. Everybody had the best time. We were able to walk on the private beach everyday, a couple of times a day and the kids even found sand dollars and starfish. Definitely the high point of our vacation. Thank you so much for opening your home to others.

  Owner response: I'm so glad that your whole family could spend some time. You let them know that they are always welcome. Just have them drop me a note!

  I love the views...wildlife and seabirds frolic in the undisturbed natural dunes outside the windows. Nothing more relaxing than to sit on the deck at sunset listening to the surf and watching the fishing boats in the distance. I enjoyed every minute of this vacation.

  A beautiful home with an excellent location. Great light and views from the wrap around windows and decks. It was fun to see a few deer and a bald eagle. Perfect location; quiet, restful getaway, but close enough to town for exploring.
