We were a little late to the Labor Day booking, and were pleasantly surprised to find a last minute place to run to the beach. We had never been out to Moclips before, but wanted a place to stay at the beach and didn't love the idea of the swarm of people at Ocean Shores or Long beach.
This place worked well for us. Plenty of room for us and allowing the dog to stay was a huge win. The house was clean and was stocked really well. We found a fun little place down on the river to skip rocks, play in the woods, and let the dog go nuts as well.
Just a block from the beach was a huge win for us. We spent almost all the time at the beach; long flat, easy for the kids to splash around, fly kites, and play with the dog.
Just about 2 miles down the road Seabrook is really growing as well. Cute shops and some food options.
Only two negatives, and neither of these are on the house specifically or the host:
1- Make sure you bring your groceries with you; very limited options within 20+ minutes. Aberdeen offers some grocery options, but it can be a zoo to get in and out
2- The neighborhood is a bit tired, and a few questionable houses. The neighbors we met were helpful, sweet, and mostly retired folks that have been around for some time. However, there were 2 houses very nearby that were clearly drug houses before (looks to have been cleared out very recently). I mostly bring this up to not let this dissuade you from the stay. It was just surprising, and with little kids could be off-putting if you just check it out online. We felt good and safe, in what is a quiet tucked away neighborhood.
Reasonably priced, close to the beach, well stocked, and dog friendly. We would stay here again!
