Enjoy the best of the Northwest from this classic Seaview bungalow. Fish from nearby ports of Ilwaco and Chinook, hike or bike the Discovery Trail and Cape Disappointment State Park, and fly your kite or dig razor clams on the world-famous Long Beach Peninsula.
There is plenty of off-street parking with room for your boat or RV. A huge fenced-in back yard is perfect for bonfires and barbecues. Two cozy upstairs bedrooms have queen-size memory foam mattresses with adjustable headrests.
Seaview Beach Bungalow is located on a main highway in a residential neighborhood, just a quick drive to the nearby Seaview Beach approach (at 38th Place) or the Bolstad Beach approach in Long Beach. Seaview has some of the oldest homes on the Long Beach Peninsula and it's worth taking a stroll or drive through the nearby streets to view the Victorian and Craftsman-era homes.
This is an older home with low ceilings on the second floor (where the bedrooms are located) and staircase. The lovely vintage charm also means that there is no air conditioning -- usually this is not an issue at the beach, but we have provided several fans throughout the house (the upstairs can get warm in the summer).
Please note that our pellet stove is currently under repair. The house is equipped with baseboard, wall and space heaters.
(Since the house is located on the main highway into town, you should also expect traffic noise. We have provided earplugs and white noise machines in the bedrooms, but if you are a very light sleeper, night-time traffic may be an issue for you.)
There are a few terrific restaurants within walking distance (around 1/2 mile): The Seaview Biscuit Company is located a short drive up the street and serves freshly baked biscuits and other breakfast options. The Breakfast Club is a diner-style restaurant serving a full breakfast and lunch menu. The Depot, which is one of the Peninsula's top-rated restaurants, is open for dinner daily. If you're a craft brew fan, stroll up to the North Jetty Brewing tap room and enjoy seasonal brews and light snacks, then take home a growler or six-pack.
The port town of Ilwaco is less than 2 miles from the bungalow, where you can charter a fishing boat, have drinks and bites at Salt Pub or the Waterline Pub, or enjoy the summer Saturday morning market.
The city of Long Beach is a short drive north on 101. Here you will find plenty of eateries, family activities, shopping, bike rentals and access to the beach boardwalk and Discovery Trail.
South on 101 you can reach Cape Disappointment State Park, with hikes to its two famous lighthouses, Beard's Hollow, Waikiki Beach and the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center. You will need a Discovery Pass to park in the state parks, which you can buy at The Dennis Company hardware store in Long Beach.
