The house was very comfortable and well stocked with everything you could need. Lots of fun board games to play. We loved hearing a chorus of frogs outside at night. We hope to be back!
Good distant ocean view. Very pet friendly. Great hosts. Walk to the beach was closed due to a pond now located there, but you could still walk to the beach in about 15 minutes via the road. You can also drive to and on the beach in about 2 minutes! House is lovely and the hosts have thought of everything to make you comfortable. We would definitely stay again.
Absolute gem of a place to stay! Beautiful home and well equipped with everything we could need. The wildlife in the backyard was an incredible bonus and we will definitely come back again!
The host was extremely response, and also patient with me when I didn't fully read the check in instructions for the door code. This house was so beautifully decorated I felt at home immediately!
This is such a beautiful property. The residence was well stocked. The area is nice and quiet. The fenced in yard was perfect for my dogs. We had a great time!

Great weekend spent with family. Beautiful property, public beach access just around the corner.
This oceanfront property was a great launching point for our vacation on the Olympic peninsula. We were able to walk to the beach, explore Olympic National Park, and drive on the beach all the way to Ocean Shores. The location was amazing!
They thought of everything! Such thoughful amenities. The hose outside of the garage was very convenient for rinsing off our furry friend. 10 star stay!
We are a family of four and this house was perfect for our short getaway to the coast. It was very clean, located well to get access to the beach and had everything we could need. We’d stay here again if coming back to the area. Thank you.
This house was perfect. Close to the beach. Clamming was amazing. Had everything we needed including a clam cleaning station. Great fenced yard for the dogs. Plenty of room in the garage to store our gear. Will definitely stay there again.
The house was great and had everything we needed. It was so nice to be able to bring our dog with us. We loved walking to the beach it was beautiful. Fast and friendly communication. We would stay there again.
Are you looking for a getaway? This is the place. Outside Ocean Shores which means plenty of space to explore on the beach without many tourists. The gated yard has lots of room for dogs to romp (or run off the sand), and a hose and rags are ready for an extra clean. I cannot wait to go again.
Great host/hostess. House is well appointed and perfectly situated for taking advantage of beaches open to razor clamming. This is our second stay and I’m sure it will not be our last.
Great location, beautiful area, house well equipped!
Our family (with 2.5 year old) stayed at the house and really enjoyed our time. The house is private, well laid out and had everything you need from two pack n plays, laundry, extra pillows and blankets and great kitchen cooking supplies. The house was clean and tidy upon arrival. Holly was great to communicate with and so nice! Would definitely stay again!
Great place to disconnect and enjoy nature! Property is perfectly placed between trees with an unobstructed view of the ocean and waves. Short walk to the beach if the path is flooded. Short drive to Ocean Shores and other locations. House is beautifully decorated and those couches.... comfy. This was our second trip and I'm looking forward to more!
Very comfortable for 6 people, felt like home. Private yet super close to drive-on beach access. Clamming in season.. a fun first for the kids!! Lots of games for rainy days and beach toys as well. Great fenced yard for the dogs. Very responsive host.
Do bring your binoculars to enjoy watching the coyotes and eagles nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Aaron and Holly Steele
Hi, I’m Holly — a Registered Nurse of 30 years, mom of two grown children and originally from the East Coast. I spent my childhood summers on Cape Cod, and those memories inspired the creation of Riptide Retreat. My husband Aaron and I raised our family in Olympia and always dreamed of owning a cozy beach retreat on the coast. That dream became reality with Riptide Retreat, and we’re so happy to share it with guests like you.
We take great pride in keeping the home clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked — the kind of place we’d want to stay ourselves. Every year we add a little more to make it even better, and we hope you’ll feel the care we’ve put into it during your stay.
Why they chose this property
We chose this spot on Copalis Beach because it truly offers the best of both worlds — nestled between the energy of Ocean Shores and the charm of Seabrook, yet surrounded by peaceful natural beauty. The two-acre property is framed by trees, giving it a private, tucked-away feel while still being just minutes from dining, shopping, and adventure. It’s the perfect blend of coastal quiet and convenience — and exactly what we were looking for.
What makes this property unique
Riptide Retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and direct seasonal beach access — something you don’t often find on the Washington coast. Set on two secluded, wooded acres, the home feels like a peaceful hideaway, yet it's just minutes from restaurants, shops, and activities in both Ocean Shores and Seabrook. The house is thoughtfully stocked with family- and pet-friendly touches, and we’re constantly improving it to make every stay more comfortable. The seasonal private beach path and views of the ocean and sunsets from the deck make it truly special.
