From the moment we stepped into the starboard cottage, we felt at home as it was so cozy, peaceful and their attention to details were truly mind blowing. A place far away from city life to enjoy with your family and friends. We will surely visit again. Oh and the amazing personal hot tub with the oceanview was to die for. Loved it. Note: basic breakfast items are provided, major restaurants and groceries are in Sooke which is 30 mins drive from Shirley, so you can bring your own groceries etc beforehand for convenience, fully equipped kitchen with bbq available.

The small dining room overlooks the water and the food and service were worthy of the description "fine dining". The food was creative and presentation unique. The restaurant is only open Wednesday through Sunday so that is a reason to plan your visit on this days. We were visiting with 2 friends and had cabin 2-3, one the mirror image of the other next door. The cabins are rustic. Isn't that the reason you came. The hot tub worked great. We only did minimal cooking but the facilities were adequate. The view was perfect. the big bed was very comfortable and the well worn recliner chairs were so comfortable you could sleep in them. You visit will not be complete until you walk the incredible trails around the property.

We stayed here for four nights with friends (we were 2 couples) in the Cabin A Glacier Loft. It has…read moreone quiet bedroom on the ground floor and a bright spacious loft up some open stairs. There is a small kitchen that had everything we needed and a cozy livingroom with a beautiful view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. There are Adirondack chairs on the deck and a 4 person hot tub that we enjoyed every day. The picture on the website of this cabin shows different furniture and a pretty fireplace with a mantel. Unfortunately they have a couple worn leather chairs with cracked leather arms and the couch is a hide-a-bed with cushions that were hard to keep in place. They kept working their way out and over the edge of the couch. What I was sad about was they have had to change the fireplace to bring it up to code. Instead of keeping the rustic feel with stone and a pretty mantle, they put up a couple bit shiny pieces of metal and screwed it in. They didn't use long enough screws and it is pulling away from the fireboard behind. It looks like a cheap fix and doesn't fit with the rustic cabin feel. We did enjoy having a fire, however, and they replenished our wood supply, including kindling and paper every day. We were there for a birthday and would have loved to eat at the restaurant there but the menu didn't appeal to us enough to pay the high price of a meal. We loved walking private guest only paths on the property that lead to a beach with a shelter with fireplace and chairs. Another leads over a pretty red bridge that leads to rocks overlooking the wild surf. We were there early May and loved enjoying the flora waking up in the spring. There are a few references to the staff being rude so we decided to tread lightly. Nobody was rude but there was definitely one woman who was curt. The staff in general lacked warmth and were not overly welcoming. But we didn't have any issues that needed addressing. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would go back.

The only thing that was a disappointment was the Free breakfast didn't have the basic scrabbled eggs, bacon or sausage. The only eggs they served was cold hard boiled eggs. I opted for yogurt for my protein. Coffee was good. They had a waffle maker and lots of bagels, toast, english muffins, cereal all the basics but no warm eggs , bacon , sausage or hash browns :( Overall my stay was great! I would stay here again.

They are located on the outskirts of Port Angeles by the golf course. They are very close to the park itself and makes for a great place to stay when visiting the park. We reserved a 2 queen room with a golf course view months in advance. They gave us a room on the second floor. The room was nice and cozy. The 2 queen rooms have a nice sized bathroom with a tub/shower combo. My wife and daughter did complain about with the soap and shampoo for their shower. It has been a while since we've seen a bar of soap as most hotels use body wash now. The shampoo is a shampoo and conditioner combo. They did not like the soap or shampoo. Breakfast is served downstairs. It was continental breakfast only. No meats. Just waffles, toast, cereals, juice and coffee. It was good enough for the 2 days that we stayed there. They do have an exercise room with treadmills, ellipticals and dumbbells for you to lift. It was less equipment than at some other hotels, but it was enough for you to get a good workout. This might be the best hotel in Port Angeles. You don't have much of a choice. If you visit Port Angeles and want a nicer hotel, this is the place.

Definite privacy issues here! My wife and I chose Points West as our honeymoon location in the…read moresummer of 2015, and though we were delighted by the view and accommodations, we were greatly disappointed by some specific privacy concerns. Our chief concern was the curiously see-through quality of the blinds at night. In the daytime they allow the visitors to see the wide ocean view from inside the room, but at night with the lights on, they are fully see-through from the outside. We took pictures to show this is clearly the case. And as the Trip Advisor reviewer wrote, the shower is clear glass and completely visible from the outside as well. Unfortunately, we didn't discover the see-through nature of the blinds until the second night of our honeymoon. The location is partially secluded at best, not "very completely private" as I was specifically told by Veronica via telephone. The outside stairway, which is the only approach to the room, has no gate at all, allowing anyone to walk unhindered the full length of the balcony and the glass-enclosed room. We were informed in the same breath that absolutely no one would ever venture onto the deck or balcony, and they had been up there that very day watering the flowers. There is also an uncurtained window above the bed through which another house can be seen, though about 200 yards away. What is curious is that the cost of some fully opaque blinds in a multi-million dollar property such as Points West would be minimal compared with the obvious advantages. Although we were refunded the last three nights of our stay, it was upsetting to say the least that we were in a room with see-through blinds for the first half of our honeymoon. Update: I am responding now to the manager or owner's critique of my review. Unfortunately, he is simply justifying the blinds (completely see-through from the outside, at night) covering this glass-enclosed room. It would be an easy fix to replace them. Also the see-through shower, easily visible from most of the deck as well. Also, there is no gate between the stairs and the deck. Look--just clarify that the blinds are a problem, if you won't replace them.

It's located right on the main drag in Forks. It was nice to be across the street from the pizza place and the grocery store so we could run in and out the rooms were clean, the folks working care were very friendly, and the price was very appropriate for the amount of space we got. One very nice thing was fire pit that was located in the middle of the property. It was great for s'mores and was available until about 10 PM. This is definitely a spot we will be coming back to the future!

We booked 3 cottages at Chito Beach Resort in Sekiu, Washington. My brother and his wife stayed in The Birdhouse (whose deck officially became our favorite hangout spot) We spent many memorable hours there, enjoying the ever changing views of the sea, wildlife, and spectacular sunsets. My sister stayed in The Wolf Den. I stayed in the cottage adjacent to hers, The Lighthouse.  I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in the Lighthouse Cottage. The bed was soooo comfy. Water pressure was great. So much attention was paid to every charming little detail. Nothing was overlooked.  And that view!  On Saturday night the owners, Tamara and Matt had a little get together around the bonfire with all of the guests at Chito Beach. (There are a total of 6 cottages) They were wonderful and gracious hosts who served us beverages and DELICIOUS appetizers. They made us feel very welcome there.  After I got back home, I sorted through the MANY photos that I'd taken, and decided which ones to post on Facebook.  As gorgeous as some of them are, I think some of the pictures of the sunsets at Chito Beach are even more stunning than my photos of the Cape.  Especially on our last night there. Truly magical and almost otherworldly Our time there was an experience that our family will treasure forever.
