Everything in Ocean Shores is. The price was right for a huge condo, so we went for it. The condo featured a big kitchen that I was able to cook a full dinner in, a large living room with a television, and a huge wrap around deck with views of the water. We also had a bathroom with a full tub and a bedroom with two queen beds. The hotel also has a hot tub and pool. The pool isn't huge but the kids had a great time. They have a movie library where you can check out movies for your room which was appreciated since we couldn't figure out the cable whatsoever. Minor complaints: the cable as mentioned, the beds weren't super comfy, and the kitchen equipment was not in the best condition. That said, we made it all work. We'll definitely return!

The staff were great also and cheerful. Hat's off to the night worker. Came down for something at 4:30 AM and asked if I wanted coffee as well. Just a couple of points of improvement. Water a couple of times wasn't hot in the shower. Also, I felt there were too many rules - a little more slack would be great. (e.g. no late checkouts and a charge if not out on time) Great weather for us too for beginning of April. The Jetty point is a great place to check out at low tide. Check out videos of the Sparlings (birds) back and forth with the waves. Thanks for the nice stay.

We loved our time spent at the Canterbury for a 3 night getaway…read more The price is incomparable to any other place we've stayed in Ocean Shores over the past 19 years. Why did we not stay here sooner? From now on Canterbury Inn will be our GO TO place for future stays. We had a studio on the 3rd floor at a very reasonable winter rate. The room was spectacular, as nice as any stateroom we've had on our 6 cruises on Holland America; so naturally we were very comfortable. The room had everything we would need and more; clean and comfortable. Don't even get me started on how comfortable the bed is. I could have spent my entire getaway in that bed had it not been for the beautiful weather. Every staff member I met was friendly and helpful. There is a smoking area in the front and rear of the building. Dogs are allowed, but we didn't bring ours on this trip. I cannot say enough how fabulous this place is. Thank you Canterbury staff for a wonderful stay and we'll see you again soon. :) Beverly S Petterson

Before I had to start a month of having to work on Sundays, JP and I decided to escape to the…read moreWashington Coast for a final weekend hurrah. And the gods were smiling benevolently, treating us to summertime sunshine and warmth even though the calendar claimed it was October. We paid $79 plus tax for our room at Oasis Motel, which we found on Yelp. Compared to other lodging in Ocean Shores, this is a very reasonable rate. Also, Oasis Motel is located conveniently within walking distance to shops and restaurants in very tiny Ocean Shores. It looks like this is a family-owned business and we could see them all bustin' their butts working around the property. Our room was clean, comfortable and roomy. It had a microwave and fridge. The TV had oodles of channels. The TV remote worked fine, that is, until Sunday morning when it ceased operation. We were going grrr dang it, but then realized the problem was that JP had draped a hoodie over the modem next to the TV, so the signal was not penetrating to the modem. When the hoodie was properly placed on a hanger, the TV worked fine once again. Oh, there is free Wi-Fi too. The colorful full-sized mural depicting a rustic Italian villa and courtyard was very cool. I do have to say the room did have a pungent musty scent when we first walked in. The motel was apparently aware of this and had stuck one of those Glade plug-ins into an outlet in the bathroom. I don't spend much time by the ocean (though I wish I did), but suspect mustiness is endemic to coastal buildings, because of the salt air and humidity. In any case, we quickly got used to the smell, and after a time, no longer noticed it. We bought a couple candles at the nearby grocery store to freshen the room, but that was really unnecessary. But to be clear, the musty scent is not a show-stopper and we would stay here again. You get a lot of value for your money at Oasis Motel. Check out is at 11:00, but the front desk was copacetic with extending our checkout time to noon.

I stayed at the Tidal House for one night while visiting Ocean Shores for my birthday. Overall, the…read morestay was just okay. The atmosphere had a subtle coziness, but the Airbnb photos made it look much more updated, renovated, and inviting than it actually was. When we arrived, it was clear the chalet was dated. For the price per night, we expected more. Right away we noticed cobwebs on the walls and ceilings, heavy dust throughout, and even dust bunnies under the main bed. The fridge was also incredibly loud--sounding like a jet engine switching on and off all night. Other issues stood out: * Towels were limited, and the ones provided had hair in them. * The bathroom faucet's water pressure sprayed everywhere, forcing us to use our already-limited towels just to clean up. * The blinds couldn't be pulled open because of old, crusted bird droppings on the outside. We understand this is the ocean, but these clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time. * The mattresses were by far the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on--making it difficult to get any real rest. What made things more frustrating was their very strict check-in and check-out policy, which they explained was due to their cleaning crew's schedule. Normally, that would make sense, but given the lack of cleanliness we experienced, it made their "no exceptions" stance confusing. That being said, I did appreciate a few things. They were upfront in the listing about the steps leading up to the second floor, and they weren't exaggerating--they really are steep, so it was good to know ahead of time. I also appreciated some of the amenities inside the chalet, which made parts of the stay more comfortable. The chalet itself has good bones and could be a great place with better upkeep--thorough cleaning, fresher linens, updated mattresses, and a little extra care inside and out. As it stands, though, it doesn't live up to its price point. I'd be hesitant to recommend this spot without those updates and at this point would suggest checking out other options in Ocean Shores first.

A much needed ocean therapy was calling my name and I drove west. Ended up in Ocean Shores. I left my town due to how crazy busy it would be with parades and a carnival, not knowing what's in store here. A pleasant surprise to see the streets lined with families. Anyway, got to shop, enjoy the festivities, and more importantly spend time walking the beach. Gorgeous day! Took a chance, walked in, asked if there were any vacancies, and they had the one. It was a king bedroom with a partial view... and I took it. It was an extremely spacious room, designed for wheelchair access. Even the shower had a ramp (pretty cool). Either way, the place was busy and packed like smoked clams in a tin can! The pool below me was busy as all get out, and people were coming and going... like me. Off for some shopping, parade activities, some local food and drinks, but more importantly... the Beach! Was able to sneak out and catch a beautiful sunset, as well. Gorgeous! There were some issues with the the faucets turning in the opposite direction for water temperature at the sinks, and it would be pretty nice if the Body Soap and Shampoo dispensers were labeled. They both looked identical... so who knows what I ended up using but at least it was clean! Other than that, some noisy tenants above me but whatever... hotel can't control kids jumping up and down and off the beds. At the end of a day, was able to chill after some much needed ocean therapy. All in all, a good experience for something so last minute. Thank you and as always, Enjoy & Happy Ocean Therapy!

After making a quick call as instructed, I was able to retrieve my keys with instructions to return the next morning to complete the check in. The property is very nice and clean. The 2 bedroom suite was simply beautiful. The master bedroom was very spacious and all the amenities appeared to have been upgraded. The only thing that would have made the whole trip better would have been the weather. In typical Washington coast fashion the sun never came out. The temperature hovered around 60 which was not bad at all. However, in the Pacific Northwest you cannot count on the weather. It's like a box of chocolates!!!

Pacific Sunrise Inn & Suites seemed like a great spot and was offering a great deal for a weekend that worked for us. We arrived close to 10 minutes before their check in time and were told that our room was ready for us as we were exhausted from a three hour drive. At the front desk, they do have some chocolate mints for humans and milk bone treats for pets to enjoy. They do have a pet fee per pet but it was fair pricing as they have a pretty simple pet policy. I also appreciate that they are a completely non-smoking spot. The staff there were very professional and pleasant to speak with and they were more than happy to ensure our stay went perfectly. As we entered our room, we were content with the cleanliness of our room and the different amenities. The TV was a little strange to use but after we figured it out, there was no issues. There was a microwave, mini fridge, and a coffee maker which was nice. They also do provide small pastries and coffee from 7:30 to 9am. We did not get to check out the pool unfortunately as we only stayed for one night but we do recommend and hope to stay here whenever we decide to come back to Ocean Shores!

Really should get a permanent sign put on the front of the building rather than that tattered…read moreplastic banner hanging over the sign at the entrance. It's practically shredded & you can barely read it. Took over an hour to get the tv working & when I asked for help at the front desk I was told "none of them work right. It's a known problem." I finally managed to switch the HDMI cable to another port to get something. When I went down to the hot tub the first guest I encountered asked me if my tv worked! I said "nope! It's a known problem!" The jets on the hot tub also didn't work, so we were just sitting in a bath tub basically. There's a Keurig in the room, but you only get one coffee pod to share. I went to ask for another tiny bar of soap since we used ours up, but they were out. They were also out of shampoo, so we had to use the shower gel for everything. The shower curtain is hung so that it barely touches the top of the tub, so water runs all over the floor when you shower. You can tell this has been an ongoing problem because the door jam is completely rusted. When I went to ask for more towels do soak up all the water on the floor, there were two other guests complaining about the same issue in their rooms. Seems like that would be an easy enough fix that could save some major repairs later..... The cherry on top was finding someone's vape pen in my bed.!!!! Hoping it belonged to the housekeeper who changed my sheets?! It was between the comforter & the duvet so that's what I'm telling myself..... that was a first for me.

I was a little nervous to book given the reviews, but the room we got was at a crazy good price so we went for it! We spent the day at the beach and showed up around 4:45 (45 minutes past check in time) to be told that our room wasn't ready yet... Front desk woman was apologetic and said they'd give us a call when it was ready. Still didn't end up being ready til almost 6pm which was really irritating with 3 tired kids. We got a one bedroom suite that had a full kitchen, two queen beds, and a living room with a fireplace and balcony. It honestly was a good setup for less than $200. The bedroom was a good size and the beds were comfy. Kitchen was stocked with basic essentials which was appreciated since we had planned to make dinner in our room. We were excited for the fireplace but it turns out they're just for show! They're wood burning so I'm sure they don't want to deal with the mess which makes sense, but don't look forward to it like I did. The pool and hot tub space was a good size but oh my GOSH. The pool isn't heated at ALL. My kids normally don't care about temperatures for swimming but this was even too cold for them which is insane. They enjoyed the hot tub though. Overall it was an okay stay but The Grey Gull remains my favorite place to stay in Ocean Shores!
