This is Bear Country
Ocean Shores is known for black bear families. There have been several bear sightings on the property near the path so we ask that you take extra precaution. Please keep the gates closed, pets on leash (when outside the fenced areas), and stay with children on the path to the beach. Consider traveling in groups and bringing bear spray. Avoid leaving food outside or in your vehicle to avoid attracting them. Please pack your left over food and take it with you when you check-out (do not leave in dumpster). NEVER run away from a bear. Checkout bear safety tips at bearwise.org and watch the video: Staying Safe in Bear Country.

SO Close to Everything We Love at Ocean Shores

It had alot of home touches, so you don't have to lug it from home. (Throws for lounging on the recliners, picnic basket, kitchen spices and pump soaps at all the sinks!) Wagon to pull everything to the beach, down the private path, or drive down the beach from the access rd only blocks away. The only"negative" is the tight garage, (didn't affect me, but I think my husband's fully loaded truck would have parked in the driveway)

Peaceful / Private

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!

Amazing location

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.

Seclusion on the beach

If you are looking for seclusion you found the spot! Large property and not another home insight. Fabulous location, ocean view, comfortable furniture and outstanding cleaners. You can't go wrong. It was just the dog and i so half the house wasn't even used. I can see it being a great spot for families or group getaways. I enjoyed myself so much, that i booked another longer stay!

Razor clamming

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.

Amazing house for the beach

This is a remarkably well-equipped house for a family vacation. The hosts provide an entire cabinet of games and lots of beach toys. There is a well-maintained walking path to the beach, and on a clear day you can see the water from the deck. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and cookware. Hosts are extremely communicative. Only thing to be aware of is that the shower in the master bath is extremely tiny (so small my husband had to use the downstairs shower instead).

Relaxing!

This home was lovely. We were in town for the Sand & Sawdust Festival and stayed for the weekend. The house had everything we needed and then some. Beds were comfortable, nice water pressure, and just sitting on the deck listening to the ocean was very peaceful. Our little Ziggy loved the huge yard. Look forward to going back! Thank you so much!

Family Spring Break with grandparents

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.

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.

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 Location!

We had a wonderful stay at the Riptide Retreat. Located in a nice quiet neighborhood, large private yard and deck, nicely decorated and comfortable. After staying at several beach rentals the Riptide outshined them all. It was helpful that rental rules and instructions are nicely posted around the home. Dog friendly is a plus! I can’t think of anything missing that would have made our stay more enjoyable. Hoping we can return again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Aaron and Holly Steele

Host profile image
I am a Registered Nurse of 27 years. After raising 2 children in Washington with my husband Aaron, we decided to fulfill our dream of owning a beach house in Ocean Shores that can also be shared with others. We both take particular interest in comfort, cleanliness and enjoyment. We hope to make this place more wonderful with each passing year.

Why they chose this property

Located on Copalis Beach between Ocean Shores and Seabrook, this property has the best of both worlds with the natural beauty of the trees surrounding the 2 acres property.
