We enjoyed our stay in this great, little home. It was cozy, clean, comfortable, well stocked, and just a 3 minute walk from miles and miles of beach. If you are looking for a fun place to visit the ocean, in a great location, this is a wonderful choice. We would definitely stay again.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this bungalow in Pacific Beach for over a month, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The space is impeccably maintained, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully laid out — every detail, from the cozy furnishings to the little touches, made it feel welcoming and special.
The location is unbeatable: just steps from the beach, fantastic restaurants, and vibrant local spots, yet the bungalow feels like a peaceful oasis where you can truly relax. The host was incredible — responsive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making my stay perfect.
Whether you’re staying for a weekend getaway or an extended stay like I did, this place has everything you could want and more. I can’t recommend it highly enough — 10/10 in every way, and I can’t wait to come back!
Perfect place to stay for a couple! Even if you had a couple kids or don’t mind sharing a room with another couple. Very user friendly close to beach, coffe shop, pub etc.
It’s a nice, cute little cabin. I really liked it. Very close to the beach, a big plus, very close to Seabrook and close enough to Ocean Shores.The cabin could use some upgrades, like a new mattress or topper and definitely new pillows. It has great potential to be a super cute little place. Maybe new pictures on the walls.

Thank you for your kind review—we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the cabin and its location. Being close to the beach, Seabrook, and Ocean Shores is definitely one of the things our guests love most as well.
We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestions. Comfort is very important to us, and we will certainly take a closer look at the mattress, topper, and pillows as we continue making updates to the home. We’re always working on small improvements, and feedback like yours helps guide those decisions.
Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to host you again in the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Location is quiet, cottage was very nice. We enjoyed being close enough to walk to the beach and look for shells and things. Would have given 5 stars if beds were a bit more comfortable. Mattresses could use toppers, or be replaced for more comfort.
Weather was pretty bad but we still had a lot of fun trying to clam dig. Played cards and watched movies. Loved the comfort of the home. Will definitely stay there again.
Had an amazing week stay. Cabin is super cute and well appointed. And it's across the street from beautiful Pacific Beach. Our only disappointment was the comfort of the bed. I would suggest owners get a better mattress or a plush topper. Note that from the deck your are facing the back of another house. But no biggie since we spent all our time playing in the surf. We made great memories!!!
I was surprised that I was able to book this cabin mid week on short notice. Pacific Beach has always been one of my have to go places to find myself with long walks on the beach. The cabin fit my needs to a tee, sounds of the waves, humming birds, and privacy.
Nice clean home, just a short walk from the beach!
We really enjoyed staying at Love Shack II. The kitchen had all we needed for cooking our meals, the beds were comfy, the home was clean, and the location convenient. A short walk down the road takes you to many short trails that lead to the beach. When we weren’t on the beach, we enjoyed visiting the local coffee shop and walking our dog through the quiet, beautiful neighborhood.
Very clean/comfortable for short trip to beach for clam digging. Only concern was there seemed to be lots of foot traffic/activity after dark. We locked gear in vehicles.
I thought it was a lovely property for the price. Especially considering the location in proximity to the beach.
The dishwasher didn’t work though. That was a slight inconvenience.
We got mold poisoning from this place and had to leave early. We very noticeably only felt bad when we were in the room and our symptoms (headache, fatigue, congestion, sore throat, tightness in chest) cleared up right after leaving... and came right back after entering!! We realized what was happening on our second night and decided to head home early. One of the first things we noticed upon arriving was the smell of mildew and that the fan was running in the bathroom when we checked in, so I guess we should have known sooner.. Besides that unfortunate fact, the place was cute and the arcade was fun.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and that you chose to leave early.
Guest health and safety are extremely important to us, and we take any concerns of this nature seriously. We have not had any prior reports of mold-related issues at the property, and the home is routinely cleaned and inspected between stays. Bathroom ventilation fans are often left running intentionally to help manage moisture and maintain air quality.
That said, we will be conducting an additional inspection out of an abundance of caution to ensure everything is in proper condition. We do encourage guests to reach out during their stay with any concerns so we have the opportunity to address them in real time.
We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed the home and arcade during your visit.
It is a cute place but upon entering we were greeted by a bag and garbage that hadn't been taken out by either the last renters or the cleaning crew. There wasn't a corkscrew in the kitchen which was a surprise. When we were preparing to leave we went to put the bedding in the washer as instructed only to find the washer full of damp bedding from the previous guest.

Although we did communicate with owner a few many things did not work, The barbecue is not useable,
No problems owner very easy to get a hold of and chat with. The only concern was we did laundry and dishes before we could enjoy. There was no laundry soap or dish soap , thank goodness I brought my own!
Beautiful area and a 2 min walk to the beach! I would go again
We loved the little house so much we want to rent it again!
So close to Seabrook and Ocean Shores but in a very chill spot. The family loved that we were right next to the Park and within walking distance of the beach. We also loved that we could just head down the road to Seabrook and check it out without spending all the money to stay there.

About the host
Hosted by Keri Smith
We’re local to the Pacific Northwest and enjoy everything the coast has to offer—especially beach days, clamming, and getting outdoors.
We take pride in keeping Love Shack 2 clean, simple, and well-stocked so guests can have an easy, comfortable stay without overthinking the details.
As hosts, we keep things straightforward and responsive—we give you your space, but we’re available if you need anything during your stay. Our goal is to make your trip smooth, relaxing, and hassle-free.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for its quiet, relaxed coastal atmosphere and convenient location. It’s a peaceful area where you can truly unwind, without the noise and crowds, yet you’re still just a short walk or drive to the beach, shops, and local restaurants.
One of our favorite things is how easy it is to enjoy the outdoors here—whether it’s morning walks, beach days, or clamming. The pace is slower, the setting is simple, and it’s the kind of place where you can disconnect and recharge.
It offers a great balance of privacy, convenience, and authentic coastal charm.
What makes this property unique
Love Shack 2 is a private back cabin that offers a quiet, separate space—so it feels more like your own retreat than a typical rental.
It’s set up for an easy, comfortable stay, with an open layout, two queen beds, full kitchen, and in-unit laundry—everything you need without overcomplication.
What really sets it apart are the practical extras: private alley parking, plus beach gear and clamming supplies ready for you to use. You can show up, settle in, and enjoy the coast without needing to bring much.
Simple, private, and well-equipped—it’s designed to make your stay smooth and relaxing.
