I wanted to have a fun, yet relaxing birthday weekend on the beach. I love Kalaloch beach but hate the awful cabins that are the only place to stay other than camping and as you probably have guessed by now, I hate camping. So I googled "beach houses on the Olympic Peninsula" and found a few great looking houses near Moclips. I emailed everyone and the owner of the Moonstone was the first to respond. I liked the pictures of the house online, it was on the beach, had a hot tub and a very similar name to my sail boat so I though why not? As the date of my birthday weekend came closer I began to worry...what if the house was dirty, or small or what if the owner got the dates wrong and we had to share with ANOTHER BIRTHDAY!? my anxiety proved wasteful as we arrived and got our keys from a gentleman at the Moonstone Motel located next door, he was delightful, put us at ease and gave us great tips about unpacking the car, etc. When we arrived at the Moonstone Beach House I was astonished at how it matched the online pictures. It was large, but also cozy, clean and for lack of a better word, perfect. We had a wonderful time hiking near and on the beach, watching the sea from our deck, sitting in the hot tub and making meals in the ample kitchen. It truly was a magical birthday weekend.
