It's not what we expected!…read more I chose it, because we were in the area and it fit the budget, plus there were some great reviews. It's a bit of a drive from Long Beach - again, not what I expected, but we're on vacation and another 15 minutes doesn't matter. When we pulled in, I thought we were at the wrong place. The address was right, but it looked like someone's home. I didn't read my email, so I didn't know how to check in. The cleaning lady was there and told me how to check in and to read my email for the code. By the way, she was super nice! We checked in and found the hotel to be very nice. The room was nice and clean. It was also nicely decorated - a huge plus! The entire hotel was nicely decorated - someone spent some time making this just right! We walked to the water - it's just behind the hotel. There's a nice little bench to sit and enjoy the area. I walked up and down the coast a little - there's some holes in the ground, so be careful if you do. Anyway, it's just gorgeous! We were near the front door and we noticed someone picking something from the bush. The gal who helped me check in was there and she told us there's blackberries on the bush. We ate some and they were tasty - don't eat the light colored or red ones - they're not ready yet! I spent some time in the lobby - very pleasant and a great place to read. I didn't grab a book, but they have a lot of them to choose from if you want. The next morning, we had breakfast in the dining room. It's stocked with continental breakfast things, which we enjoyed. We spoke to a lady from New Mexico, who was looking for a place to relocate. We had a great conversation, headed up to the room and got cleaned up, then headed out. I highly recommend it!

The smell of the entire building was just like stuffy and hard to breathe. The beds were on like cot frames, it was just not good. This 'hotel' is basically a big communal home. There is no private bathrooms, after a long day of playing at the beach, I went to take a shower and ran out of hot water in just a few minutes. I will never stay here or recommend anyone stay here.

It is very accessible from Portland and the drive there is beautiful, and when you arrive at your destination you immediately feel at peace. Brian and Linda do a great job of making you feel welcome. We brought our own snacks and had a picnic in the gazebo and enjoyed the view of the river, which is so wide at that point that it almost gives the visual of being at the ocean as ships rolled by. We stayed in the Hummingbird Room which has a very comfortable bed and a wonderful view out of the window. The rates are very affordable and include breakfast - Brian is a great cook and they offer several meal options. We added the firewood package and were so glad we did, as I type this I wish I could be back there next to the fire while looking at the river. They only have two rooms so if you went with some friends you would have the whole place to yourselves. This really is a hidden gem and I highly recommend making the trip while you can.

The owners Shelia and Peg are sweet and accommodating, and they make delicious breakfasts and cookies. They have beautiful, quirky, cozy rooms that quickly feel like home rather than a hotel room, and ours had a very comfortable bed and nice shower. If you are looking for a truly "bed and breakfast" experience -- chatting with the owners, sitting around a breakfast table eating home-cooked breakfasts and meeting other guests -- I highly recommend A Rendezvous Place. They have an email address and a phone number posted on their site, but they are best over the phone. If you are planning on staying here (or anywhere) in Long Beach during a holiday or festival weekend, book early! I called a few months in advance and barely got a spot...

There was some brief confusion when I booked the reservation. I had not realized it was a "horse hotel" with multiple stalls and also campsites as well as rooms. My disappointment was replaced by pure joy upon learning that humans can stay here too, as well as hybridized beings like myself (a centaur)! Everything here is done the old fashioned way, the right way: with kindness, trust, love and simplicity. Staying here will make your heart ache for a simpler time when folks were able to conduct business with a handshake, where their first priority was just treating each other how they want to be treated themselves, with dignity and decency. We came here almost my accident. I'll be honest. Ocean Acres was not in my first, second--or even top five--picks of places to go. We were aiming at much further up the coast. I could find almost nothing and what I could find was neither affordable nor desirable. We did not want to go to some sterile resort where you exist to be milked and sent on your way. We wanted to be in a place that was family-owned and served a purpose beyond just making money as efficiently as possible. We wanted to be somewhere that had actual personality, not just a hollow façade with a minimal, lazy attempt to lure visitors and nothing else. Ocean Acres Horse Hotel was--is--the jackpot on all accounts. Because of a recent death of a family member after a prolonged illness, it was important to be in a place with healing energy. I had a good feeling the moment I navigated my way to Ocean Acres' minimalist website and saw they have no automated process for automated or online bookings. Everything is done personally, over the phone. The owner, Carol did not even ask for my last name, the make of my vehicle or a credit card to reserve the room. She asked us to pay in cash when we arrived. When we did arrive, the first thing I did was try to pay, but she insisted we wait until morning to do so! She wanted us to be able to settle in, relax, and get a good night's sleep first. WHAT?! My thought was: who the hell are you and what time period do you hail from? Where is your time machine? Such a small gesture, but to be endowed with that level of trust by a stranger doing business with me...I cannot think of another time in my 46 years that that's happened. Again, you may think I am making too much of it, but being shown such trust and kindness so quickly had an immediate healing effect on us. It is impossible to discuss Ocean Acres without talking about Carol and her husband, the owners. I don't know how they do it. I could barely keep up with all the adventures they shared with us. Carol is a polymath of the first rank. Her amazing breakfasts held us in good stead the entire time we were there. We ate with the other guests--sometimes sharing a table--in their family dining room! Whilst cooking up innovative and astounding savory and sweet detectibles, Carol regaled us with stories about her life, her work, her relationship to horses, the wheeling and dealing required to get hay. We were also surrounded by her work--stunning oil portraits and bronze sculpture, for which she had rightly won awards. Carol and her husband knew we were hurting, and they pulled out all the stops to help us. They lent us their own, personal ebikes (which were so much fun to take on country roads, tooling around cranberry bogs, little ponds and abandoned farmsteads), Her cooking was phenomenal. She knew we loved animals but had none of our own, so she introduced us to their collie dog Price, with whom we quickly became BFF's in a neverending game of fetch, told us what foods her mini-pony (or was it a mini-donkey?) likes to be fed. And of course, there were other people and their beautiful steeds all around. Just being in the presence of so many happy critters and people had a very good effect on us; it was so needed. The property begins at the highway, off which a short, paved driveway leads to and terminates behind the main house, where the owners live and some of the rooms are. Then, a dirt road goes straight back (west) about a mile--all the way to the sea--passing by a beautiful barn, stalls, campsites, forest, meadows, a pond and other bucolic scenes on the way. Strolling the road on the property (and biking on it) was one of my favorite things to do there. If you ever pined for things (and people) with a personal touch, if you ever just wanted to drop out of the game and NOT be treated like a number, a walking phat money bag with a dollar sign over your head, if you miss interacting like a regular human with other regular humans, if you ever needed some puppy time but had no puppy of your own, if you ever wanted to feel safe, breathe in serenity like it floated in the ethers, if you ever just wanted a really damn good breakfast...Ocean Acres is THE place for you.

They must've been busy or overwhelmed, because the amenities weren't explained until we asked about them. They don't give you a map of the property or of Long Beach either like other resort-y hotels I've been to. When asked what there was to do in town, they didn't really suggest anything specific other than going south and going north (it's all one street). We stayed in the "Beach House" studio room and to be honest, it could use a remodel. The wood floors were a bit sticky and the gas fireplace was not plugged in when we check in. Walls/ceilings are thin, we could hear our neighbors stomping around all night. The jetted tub in the room, while nice in theory, looked very dingy yellow and the caulk needed to be replaced. It is nice that it's pet friendly, but there wasn't much pet amenities other than treats at the Adrift front lobby. A bandana, dog bowl to borrow, or extra sheet for our dog would have been nice. They do have free EV chargers, you have to ask for a card at the lobby. Be careful tho! Other guests unplugged and used our charger while we went to get a card.
