Seabrook Giveaway!
February 17, 2009 – 8:36 am | by nerd's eye viewComments are now closed on this post.
As you know, we’re great lovers of the Washington Coast here at Nerd’s Eye View. We’ve recently returned from two nights at Seabrook and we think you should go. Lucky you, Nerd’s Eye View was contacted by Seabrook and you have the chance to win a free two night stay! I’m just going to repost the text as it came from the folks at Seabrook – it tells you what to do. The usual disclaimers – restrictions apply, minor revisions made to the text, yadda yadda.
Bonus! If you win – and you want the bonus – I’ll give you advice on where to go and what to do during your stay. Now, take it away, Seabrook:
The Perfect Giveaway is a Coastal Giveaway: Seabrook, A Beach Town
Out on Washington’s Pacific Coast, the only rubber you’ll burn is on your beach bicycle or your flip-flops. Seabrook, a simple, scenic 2.5-hour drive from Seattle, is a new beach town near Olympic National Park, with pristine beaches, charming cottages and a friendly, village appeal.
If you’re quick on your keyboard, you may find yourself enjoying a free, two-night stay in a swanked out Seabrook cottage (an up to $350 value). Seabrook’s idyllic setting includes beach cruisers (get pedaling!), easy beach access, nearby parks, playgrounds, shuffleboard, horseshoes, fire pits and on-site Northwest dining at the Seabrook café.
For your chance to win, browse the rental cottages of Seabrook and pick your favorite for a vacation. Post a comment citing your dream cottage and why it’s worthy. The contest will end on March 3 at 11:59 p.m. (PST) and there’s just one, highly-envied winner, selected at random from the comments.
If you miss this contest deadline, Seabrook is offering off season incentives for buy one night/get one night free night stays Sun through Thurs through March 12. Call (877) 779-9990 to “get beached†and reserve. Specials must be phoned in, but browse cottage options here (dog friendly avail!).
Warning: Seabrook could be habit-forming; once you stay, you might not want to come back. Lucky for you Seabrook also has great beach homes for sale. View them online.
We chose Seabrook for our recent stay because it’s super comfortable, a great location for seeing the easily reached natural wonders of the Washington Coast, and they have fully stocked kitchens. Our pals the DCDN family held their 10th anniversary party at Seabrook, renting out a whole block of the houses to accommodate gajillion friends, neighbors, and their kids – I’m no expert, but it sure seems like a great place for families. We will absolutely go back there, no question. The off-season rates can’t be beat, either – we got a cottage for four, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, for two nights for 140 dollars. That’s a serious bargain.
Now, go look and come back and comment. I’ll use the random number generator to pick the winner. You have to put in a cottage name to win, entries without a suggested cottage will be disqualified.

*Totally* family friendly. Check out the two playgrounds and all the free-for-the-borrowing bikes around the place! BYO sandpail and kite, and you’re all set!
Glad you had fun again, Pam! Your post is bringing back some GREAT memories for us!

I’ll have to go with The Sandpiper. I’m a bird freak, for one thing, and I’m a sucker for an open floor plan. Plus, it’s just really cute!

I would choose the Beachcomber. It is a perfect size for a beauty weekend with a few close friends. And based on what my friends and I have gone through in the last year, we really need the weekend away.

I’m not going to enter b/c we’re not looking for a weekend on the WA coast anytime soon – but we’ve stayed in a Seabrook Cottage (Weldin House) and enjoyed it very much – comfortable and the community was fun. Great biking, hiking, kite flying and geocaching!

I should win because my friends, Keith and Allison, deserve to have a bomb-ass wedding!!! They’re some of the best people on the planet and this would make their Big Day extraordinary. C’mon, pick me and I’ll make this their wedding gift (in addition to other naughty things – because it wouldn’t be a gift from me without it). Thanks!

I would definitely choose the Ocean Song with Writer’s Loft. As an avid dog lover who needs to spend a lot of time outdoors, Ocean Song seems to be a perfect fit. Fenced yard, short walks to the beach and bikes for our adventures is exactly what we need.

The Marlowe Manor w/ Jessie James Hideout sounds pretty amazing. It would be the perfect get away with a few friends!

Oooooh! It sounds wonderful!! I can just picture my family staying at the Seabluff at Seabrook. It sounds like a perfect retreat away from all the cares of the world…a special place to reconnect with the family, walk the beach, relax, and just “be”.
Thanks for a mini vacation just thinking about it!

I really like the Hodgepodge Lodge. It reminds me of a little cottage that would be somewhere in England. The interior has been tastefully done.

I select the Ocean Song. We have stayed at Seabrook twice and love it there. I love that some cottages allow large dogs and we have a blast with them at the beach. My other fave is the Weldin House. We have stayed there and it is wonderful!

Hodgepodge Lodge looks like just what our family needs to enjoy a little R & R after a busy basketball season. With husband coaching and three kids on three different teams we could use a vacation!

my family and two others stayed at the sand dollar in summer of 2007. It was beautiful and cozy. I am an arhitect and have been following the development of seabrook for years. We have made numerous trips out to the coast to see how the town is developing. Seabrook is a fascinating alternative to other washington coastal towns. I am interested to see how it evolves with some of the commercial properties being developed

Please set me up in the SAND DOLLAR cottage!
I have already stayed there twice and five times total in a Seabrook home. I love that place and everything about it. Bikes, trails, beach, huge fire pits, parks, and the BEACH!
I would love to live there year round! Seabrook is the reason I buy lottery tickets!!!

I loved Seabluff at Seabrook! I can imagine watching the sunset with my beautiful girl, Erin, from the porch and having the most wonderful time imaginable!

Our Family Beach House is our favorite house. We spent Thanksgiving there and had a great time. It is located right across the street from the park and has a great wrap-around porch. I loved to sit on the porch and drink coffee in the morning and listen to the rain.
The beach is a quick walk away — and we found a float!!

Seabrook is the most awesome place to spend a couple of days, and even more enjoyable – a whole week! The Lily Pad is close to the Park and is great for brining the grandkids, or just the two of you. Just a close walk to the beach!

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE The Sea-Star cottage! It was so perfectly decorated for our seaside escape. It had all the comforts of home, actually better than home with the hot-tub! The kids cried when it was time to leave. Seabrook is a wonderful, amazing, relaxing place to go! I only wish we had found one of the glass balls on the beach!

I absolutely love the Pacific Idyll. The location is perfect – close to the beach, it has got a nice fenced in yard with hot tub and the interior design with the bright yellow walls is so bright and cheerful. I am delighted that it is pet friendly since we always travel with our Chocolate Lab. Seabrook is a wonderful place and I hope that I will be able to go there this spring!

I’d have to go with the Pacific Idyll. Besides the fact that it looks beautiful it appears to have the perfect accomodations for our 4 kids and our dog! I couldn’t imagine anything more relaxing and fun for our family.

We stayed in Seabrook between Christmas and New years and had one of the best family vacations ever! Loved the “Shell Cottage” perfect for a family with two little ones (3 & 4yrs) who loved the hike to the beach, collecting shells and “other treasurers” and lunch at the Cafe best!

My family of four stayed in Forest Echo. We loved it! One of the things I was looking for was a home with a couch large enough to accommodate all four of is. Forest Echo has it and a lot more. The kids (ages 16 and 21) are constantly asking to go back. The beach at night was amazing with lanterns as far as the eyes could see. Seabrook is amazing and we highly recommend it. Did someone say it may become an addiction?!
By Carrie Grant on Feb 26, 2009 | Reply
We’ve stayed at Pine Point and many others, but our dream is to stay at the beautiful “Seabluff at Seabrook”. We travel with our best friends and a total of 3 kids each visit. We’ve visited in winter, spring and summer and each experience is more memorable than the next. From bike riding to hot tubbing, from beach combing to park playing…each visit is a welcome from the stress of “city” living.
By Pat Meras on Feb 26, 2009 | Reply
I’m drawn to Harmony On The Park. The upper floor would make a great painting studio, with the view of the park. I like the dining room that seats 8 as I like to cook for friends and the porch is perfect for reading, sketching or sipping a glass of wine with family and friends in the evening. I am definitely looking for all these qualities in a retirement home and the beach is the most beautiful I’ve seen in Washington.

As the name suggests, Our Family Beach House would be the perfect getaway for OUR family of 5! Never been to the Washington Coast before, we generally frequent the Oregon Coast, a change of scenery would be very nice!

We stayed at Ocean Song last summer & loved it! With kids it would be great to be closer to the park next time…so I’d like to stay in Sofia’s Sandcastle.

We bring everyone from the kids to the Grandmas when we go to the coast so I like the Marlowe with the Jesse James hideout.

I have chosen Adeline w/Carriage house. It is large enough for our family to enjoy a trip to the beach together. We stayed in Ocean Mist last spring and enjoyed it very much but it wouldn’t be big enough for all of us. I envision a Thanksgiving feast with all of us together in one place. Our granddaughter is 3 1/2 and loved the beach there. We didn’t do much outside because it was cold, wet, and windy but did a little anyway. The cottage was cozy and warm regardless of the weather. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Seabrook. We are eagerly anticipating our next trip there.

We have stayed at Bella Beach, Seabrook’s sister community on the Oregon Coast, for 5 summers. It’s spectacular and the cottages are perfectly adorable. At Seabrook, I would choose Seabluff because of the view from the cliff where it sits. I also like the media room for the kids, fireplace and cute nook for reading a book!
By Janet Rowe on Feb 26, 2009 | Reply
It’s Seabluff for us. Between the location, the fabulous view and with two teen-age boys, the pool table — we’re sold. Can’t wait to stay in our next favorite vacation house!

I would choose Whatever Floats Your Boat. Reasons: the name is sweet (sailing is one of my passions), we’re getting married in June and it’s my dream to stay at Seabrook!
By ojah_w on Feb 26, 2009 | Reply
Beach Time looks PERFECT! Cozy enough that the family can bond but big enough that we can get away from each other, too! AND, we can bring the dogs along…the beach is best when you can watch the kids AND the dogs run free.

We have stayed at Seabrook 2 times before and absolutely love it. We are celebrating my dad’s 60th birthday there this summer – all 16 of us!
I would love to win the trip to spend my daughter’s 3rd birthday – we spent her 2nd at Seabrook last year and can’t afford it this year – love to stay at ONCE UPON A TIME because it looks like such a fun time!

Have stayed at Seabrook, very cool. Would love to stay in Ocean’s Song – love the photos, looks warm, but with great color. Love the red chairs, would like to have more queen or king beds as couples would come not kids. Also takes large dogs. Took by great German Shepard to Seabrook and he had a blast on the beach.

We are so hooked on Seabrook, we love it. I already have booked for this year 3 stays with family and friends. You have to book early folks to get your favorite house, which ours is the ADELINE WITH THE CARRIAGE HOUSE!
The Adeline offers so much comfort and is right in the middle of everything. We have no pets to worry about but we do have alot of kids and this is the perfect weekend away with them.Any house at Seabrook will feel like home away from home, you’ll love your stay and want to stay!

The Seabluff at Seabrook would truly be my dream come true! A wrap-around porch overlooking the ocean – cannot think of anything more peaceful. And with many amenities to keep the family entertained, that would truly be the prefect beach getaway!
By tjstuckey5 on Feb 26, 2009 | Reply
My pick is Pine Point cottage. Directly across from the park, far enough away from it all, but close enough at the same time. My family has stayed there and 3 little girls never got bored. Hot tub, games, books, bikes, everything our whole family could ever need, even a first aid kit for the inevitable “boo boo”! This is a great vacation place, you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to a simpler way of life and it’s the perfect place to re-connect!
By Lisa on Feb 26, 2009 | Reply
For the past four years my family of just the women have enjoyed having our ‘women retreat’ at the Oregon coast. Reserving the perfect place is in the following order: 1)Ocean front; 2)Ocean view; 3)large home; 4)hot tub. Looking at Seabrook we would choose: Pacific Idy11, Marlowe Manor, Ocean song or Sweet Spot.
By Karla Shaw on Feb 26, 2009 | Reply
Seabrook is right — it is habit-forming! If I came into some extra funds, I’d buy a camp cottage pronto. We’ve rented three times, each time in a different “larger dogs accepted” home. I think my next dream cottage would be Pacific Idyll w/ Carriage House because it accepts larger dogs, I would love to see that dog artwork in the living room in person, I love the overall decorating style, and it is large enough to invite some friends along!
By Kim Smith on Feb 26, 2009 | Reply

We stayed at Sandpiper cottage in June of 2008 and would be thrilled to have the opportunity to stay there again. Seabrook is beautiful and having access to bicycles and easy beach access via the lovely, forested walking paths makes it even more special. We loved the nautical themed, red, white and blue decor of the cottage, featuring some great pictures of lighthouses. It was an easy day trip from Seabrook, to visit the Gray’s Harbor lighthouse and the Maritime Museum…both worth the drive.

Some would look for hot tubs and nintendo’s, or a view. I just want to stay at Wildflower Cottage – and yes, it’s because of the name. Just looking at it makes me take a deep breath, and think of sunshine on the porch, walking through the pines to the sea, napping in front of the woodstove…. Who needs a DVD?

My husband and I have always dreamed of staying at “The Nest” as it conveys all the charm necessary for a great weekend get-away.

My dtr. & friend “discovered” Seabrook. She was so excited about it we were online when she got back. I have looked at the homes so many times I think I could tell the location of each. Our goal is to stay at every one! This may take a life time but what fun! Our family is hooked including my mom & sis in-law. I have my boss looking too! We hope to stay next at Coyote Cottage. We love the quiet community. We love the floats! I have a pic of the cafe at night on my computer so every day I think of Seabrook….ahhhhhhhh………..

My children and I stayed at the Sea Otter Cottage last spring. My daughter had recently gotten out of the hospital and the tranquil setting did wonders for her recovery. We all loved the warm feeling we got from the Sea Otter and from Seabrook in general. We highly recommned it to anyone looking for a relaxing get away. We hope to come back soon.

Okay, my absolute dream stay would be at the Marlowe Manor w/ Jessie James Hideout, hands down! I chose this one because the thought relaxing in the hot tub with my husband while the kids are tucked in their cozy bed and grandma is in her comfy space, actually makes me smile so BIG it hurts!
We have NEVER been to Washington, however you could consider us regulars at Bella Beach on the OR coast. I am thinking a trip to WA just might make us need to divide our time between OR and WA. We have been watching Sea Brook come alive through the website. It looks absolutely darling!

You are correct…Seabrook is habit-forming! We have stayed in the Weldin House three times and it wouldn’t feel right choosing any other cottage. We love the house, the location, and the amenities of Seabrook…including the friendly people.

We stayed out there in Indigo for Christmas 2006 with some friends and family, it was awesome. Super kid-friendly, that one even had baby gates and toys and baby dishes/cups/silverware. Everything is immaculate at Seabrook, you really can’t go wrong with any of the cottages!

We’d love the chance to stay at the Playin’ Hooky Beach House. The porch looks just like the one on my grandma’s house. When we stayed at Seabrook last summer, the kids loved riding the bikes around. And having the master bedroom on the ground floor is a big plus for me!

We stayed at Katya’s cottage and loved the coziness and decor and they allowed our dog. We would love to go back and try a stay at “The Perry” cottage, as our little boy goes by that name. The small white and cedar cottages are affordable and comfy.

We have loved Seabrook! For a return, I pick Once Upon a Time–for size (room for adult kids and grandchildren), location (near park w/ playground), style (Norwegian ancestry, love of Susan Sargent and Rie Munoz!), and what is included (library and more!). This seems like the perfect spot for our family to get together to make more Seabrook memories!

The Seabluff cottage looks amazing! Our family loves the ocean. It would be a great place to watch the sunsets together. We stayed in the Seas the Day cottage a few years ago and really thought it was beautiful too. We would definitely love to return to Seabrook. It is such a wonderful place to get away from it all.

Our Family Beach House is my pick. Letting my wife relax on the porch with a book, blanket and hot cocoa while I take our 10 month old son out to the playground to enjoy the outdoors. Then we’d soak in the hot tub while our little boy took a nap. In the evening, pop in a movie while we snuggle in the pull out sofa.

We fell in love with the description of Seabluff at Seabrook. It would be perfect for a reunion of our family — with kids coming from D.C., San Diego, Wisconsin and Connecticut. A vacation none of us would ever forget, in our beloved Northwest.

Hello everyone, I LOVE Seabrook and have stayed in at least eight of the homes of all sizes. Playing Hooky is a beautiful home that could host my children, grandchildren, and me nicely for a weekend in June.
Besides introducing at least six different groups to Seabrook, I am now getting the next generation, my children and grandchildren to come as well. I just wish I could afford to purchase one of the homes myself. It is a dream of mine that I have all the time. I love the new little cottages that were recently built. Maybe……….

Pacific Idyll would be a great place to spend my 50th birthday with friends and family! Seabrook is a beautiful place, and this house looks like a gem!

I would choose Forest Echo, not too big, not too small, great hot tub for after long walks and an enclosed patio if the weather is bad. I just love the fresh air and the friendly atmosphere where everyone says hello to everyone.

I think that Pacific Idyll looks ideal for our family – lots of room and entertainment for our children, lots of amenities for my husband and me…and with ocean views too. Perfect! And I love that it is decorated with antiques.

We stayed at Seabrook last year and loved it! We would love to come back and stay in Sea Star! We were able to look at several other cottages while were there and really loved Sea Star. Cozy and comfortable with that nautical style we love!
Our kids loved it too! Can’t wait to return…

A View for Two looks to be the perfect romantic getaway. Relax with a complimentary bottle of wine with views of the ocean. Keep your feet warm on the heated bathroom floor. Enjoy watching the winter storms from your perch, or meander to the beach. A great spot for any time of year.

Our Family Beach House is perfect! Right on the big green space and I can lounge on that porch and watch the kiddos play. Plus it has heavenly beds.

My favorite is definately the ocean mist. due to the heated bathroom floor, covered porch and wood floors and wood fire place. not to big, not to small. wireless internet and fenced back yard is nice too.

Oh, the sea — how it calms one’s fears and stirs the soul like nowhere else! My family has stayed at the Bella Beach homes and absolutely loved our time there. I would love to have a 2-night stay with my mom at Sea Otter w/Carriage House (or any of the beautiful homes). We both love the sea and like so many people, because of financial stress from too many medical bills, will not be able to have a family vacation this year. Thanks for the opportunity!

Hodgepodge Lodge looks adorable, but any accomodating 4 and a small puppy would be so wonderful! I had neighbors visit last summer and raved over Seabrook and we hope to visit soon with our family! What a neat vacation spot with darling cottages!

Whatever Floats Your Boat is the cottage of my dream. Sometimes, a name simply explains it all. We have visted Seabrook several times, never stayed, but the first time (you always remember the first time), like your first kiss, our breath was taken away. The community is ideal, from bikes around the property, to a little deli/wine shop. Oh, yes, the beach, oh my, you do not have to mention anything more, except, this is NOT Ocean Shores!
We should win this contest because though not homeowners there, have spread the gospel about Seabrook wherever we go.
Thanks for the contest, happy picking!!

I love Seabrook. We took a group of friends to Adeline last Labor Day it was so wonderful! We plan to visit their sister property on Memorial day at Bella Beach, Its Five Oclock Somewhere. But we can’t wait to get back to Seabrook and see all the new construction added! This is just what the WA coast needed.

We visited Seabrook twice last summer and LOVED it. It is so charming. We have such great memories of our time there. In fact, last Fall, our 2 year old daughter, while playing with her 4 year old brother, said “Let’s pretend it’s my birthday and we’re at Seabrook.” Her birthday is Feb. 14th, and guess where we held our little sweetheart’s birthday party? Pacific Idyll in Seabrook. We loved the tiny cottages we stayed in last summer, Aloha in particular, for their charm. But for the complete package, charm, full ammenities, perfectly appointed, we’d have to choose Pacific Idyll. It has it all! We’ll be back. When you are 2 and 4, nothing beats riding your bike around and around and around the square!

I’d have to go with Shifting Gears. It sleeps more people, so we could bring our friends, and is dog friendly so we could have our family pets with us.
It’s also right across the street from Cresent Park, where we could walk and play with the dogs…when we’re not in the hot tub, that is!

The Sand Dollar would be the place for us! Beachy cottage look with all the modern amenities.

I have been longing for a vacation at Seabrook for awhile! I’d choose the sweet little Sunset Cottage, because it’s close to the beach, I love the soothing blue walls inside, and larger dogs are welcome. Both of our golden retrievers are now senior citizens and we’d love a beach getaway as our final trip with them!

I would choose to spend some time in Shell Cottage. For a retreat, the image of a shell appeals to my inner soul. On viewing the cottage, it sounds perfect! Walks, trails, close to a beach and it will accommodate my wee Westie – how much more could one ask.

Please pick me. It’s snowing outside as Iam typing this. I would pick “I’ll Fly Away”. I have stayed at Aloha Cottage with 2 cousins and we had a great time. Rode the bikes, walked the beach in a rain storm, great fun. My son and his family stayed at Weldin House over 4th of July. What a beautiful sight all the homes decorated for the 4th. Lots of activities for all ages. Love eveything about Seabrook community.

For us, hands down Forest Echo is our favorite cottage. What a wonderful retreat with its hot tub, gourmet kitchen, cozy living room and fireplace, and an enclosed front porch that is a perfect for reading on a cold day. Our two children and our pet Lab stayed there over the summer and had a blast. A comfortable house, a fun neighborhood, and just a short walk to the beach made it the best getaway we’ve had in a long time.

Shifting Gears is the best house for our family. Right across from the park … pet friendly … it is PERFECT!

Seabluff looks like the perfect house to stay and see the Washington coast. We have always stayed on the Oregon coast for our holidays and enjoyed every minute. This house looks like one you would see on tv and wish you were sitting on the porch and enjoying the sea air. It looks like a house all the family could come to on the holidays to enjoy a big get together. A stay here would be a gift for everyone!

We have been by many times to your beautiful homes. The beach is where out family becomes close again. With life so busy your homes give you a enviroment that encourages you to spend time as a family. Relax, play games, take walks, read and love eachother. Life is more then the daily grind as Abe Lincoln said “its not the year in the life its the life in the years”

The “Beach and Bike” would be my choice for sure! It has it all but is still cozy and inviting. For sure the PERFECT place to be during a winter storm and then when the storm has passed…hit the beach for a long walk to “treasure hunt”.

Seabrook has become a favorite of mine and I tell everyone I can about it!!

Because our family is small, I would have to choose the “Seastar”. We love your wood burning

My husband and I have actually been to Seabrook once before. I begged and begged to go and he finally took me on my birthday last year (in March). We stayed in Pine Point Cottage and 9 months later we had our first baby! I would love to visit again and this time take my whole family – my parents, sister and new son to introduce them all to Seabrook! I think the Hodgepodge Lodge would be perfect for us!

A two-night stay with my family at Sand Dollar Cottage would be a perfect way to celebrate our daughter being cancer free after a year-long battle with Stage IV Hodgkins Lymphoma. I can just imagine all of us walking the beach, sitting around the dining table playing games and laughing, watching movies, and snuggling up with a blanket and a hot cup of coffee in the sun room – enjoying the view of the water and reflecting on what a lucky family we are.

Sand in the Toes!! The reading area alone, with that big comfy chair, would be enough for me to pick this cottage! Though having a hot tub and private master upstairs sounds great as well! And the name….it describes a perfect day at the beach.

I’m thinking the Sand Dollar Cottage looks absolutely divine. It’s so cute and quaint – those big chairs on the porch and a good book = heaven. Our border collie could come with and we could all spend hours and hours at the beach, just soaking up the sun (well, it is Washington, after all, so what little sun there is) and relaxing. We wouldn’t have to give up our espresso in the morning, because it’s just down the road. We could take a nice bike ride into town. We could play the XBox at night or watch TV before bed. We can relax in the hot tub after dinner.

My family absolutely loved Forest Echo when we stayed at Seabrook. The main floor was extremely cozy, there was room to spread out (a few family members read on the enclosed sun porch, some played rock band on the wii console we set up and some other cooked). I loved that I could bring my dog, and enjoyed walking the neighbourhood, as well as the beach. Such a great location!

Tidal Pool w/ Nemo’s Nest Carriage House is my pick. Love the outside appearance and the upstairs balcony that shades the downstairs deck. Since I like to be outside but am somewhat shy of the sun for prolonged periods, the covered decks sound fantastic and I am sure I will enjoy ducking into the carriage house for a nap in the afternoon. Thanks for the contest because I can’t wait to get up there and cook breakfast in the restaurant equipped kitchen!

Seabluff at Seabrook looks like JUST the place! My sister is battling breast cancer (just began radiation last week following three months of chemo) – what a difficult journey. A weekend away for her, a few girlfriends and many bottles of wine would be just the thing for her and her beautiful bald head! She’s a HUGE billiards fan and dreams of one day having a table in her home. This home would, I’m sure, be just what the doctor ordered – enjoying the beach and playing pool all in one place!

Seabrook is my favorite place on the entire Washington coast. With it’s breathtaking coastal setting, the quality of craftsmanship, attention to detail, the timeless appeal of it’s neighborhoods, the helpful staff, it will all exceed your expectations and you leave with beautiful memories. We spent two absolutely enchanting days there with our family at the end of the last summer…enjoying a special time of bonding which included biking around the neighborhood , picnicing on the beach, and running through the sand in our barefeet.
If we could go back, as hard as it is to choose a favorite, I think I would like to stay in Ocean’s Song. The interior is so inviting and tasteful and it looks like the perfect place to spend a restful weekend away.

I’ve stayed with my family at Seabrook before and it was fantastic.

Marlowe Manor is my choice. There is nothing as divine as taking a shower outside after spending the day at the beach. The huge porch, wine fridge and space for friends and family to just be together away from everyday concerns are also key selling points for me.

The view of the rugged beach at Seagrove from Moondance Cottage would enrich my soul. I’m from the Midwest, Cincinnati to be precise, and the Northwest Coast is spectacular. I’m a high school English teacher with a writing problem. Wherever I go, my notes and laptop are in my bag with me. I could totally see myself writing contentedly in that setting. Moondance is especially appealing because my husband and I danced to the song by the same name many times in college in Oxford, Ohio. We’re still in love, thirty plus years later. Our daughter lives in Eugene, Oregon, and because of her wanderlust, we discovered the Northwest for ourselves.

Picking a single favorite at Seabrook is like being a kid cut loose at a really great candy shop. Theere are SO many great homes all with different but equally wonderful situations, architecture, and amenities. If you’re going to force me to choose I’ll have to go for Sofia’s Sandcastle as my most desired cottage for a Seabrook stay. I love the wrap-around porch and the sitution next to two gardens. My best friend, Joe the Dog, who’s getting up in years could lounge on the porch in sunbeam while I catch up on my Agatha Raisin mysteries and breathe the fresh sea air! Sounds pretty nice to me!!!

We would love to win a trip to Seabrook. Our family of four recently stayed in Into the Woods. My eight year old son got to chose the cabin as we were going to be celebrating his birthday there. We walked on the beach, rode bikes, soaked in the hot tub and played a new Wii game. It was peaceful and serene. We read books, played games and watched movies as well. It was a great way to celebrate. We share the birthday, so it was a gift for mom as well. We really enjoyed the house. It has a big stuffed animal bear in the corner which the kids thought was great and it was very quiet. We have also stayed in Central park which was just as great. The house I would love to stay in is Once Upon a Time. I think that the kids would always remember sleeping in those beautiful built in beds. There is plenty of room and a gorgeous porch.

I fell in love with Seabrook when a friend and I made it a destination while down on the shore visiting a mutual friend. I’m from New England and traveled to Nantucket a number of times in my younger days. Seabrook reminds me so much of Nantucket (and Martha’s Vineyard) – it was strangely nostalgic driving through “the village” of Seabrook even though it was my first visit.
The “cottage” I love the most is called “A Whale of an Adventure”. It has a carriage house and looks so much like like something on Cape Cod or Nantucket it’s amazing. I can picture myself and a few friends living there for a weekend.
There would be the requisite walks on the beach but also time strolling slowly through Seabrook looking closely at all of the homes. There would also be lots of “down time” just lazin’ around in pjs or sweats catching up with my friends, sharing meals and being a family of sorts – if only for a while.
Oh, yeah, then there’s time to read. Just got a great book called “American Nerd: The Story of My People (by Benjamin Nugent) – a fun, extremely interesting, eclectic read. Check it out.
I’m thinking positive thoughts and feel like the winner already. Gotta go pack my bags….

I have stayed at Seabrook twice. The first time was a year ago with my 2 high school children and their friends. We stayed at the Indigo House and absolutely loved it! So much so that we stayed a couple of extra days. We were able to take a day trip to the rain forest and another horseback riding at Ocean Shores. Perfect location, lots to do, and lots to not do! Hot tub, furnishings, entertainment, fire. All PERFECT!!! We came back in the summer with relatives and did it all over again. Can’t wait for the pool!

I would chose “I’ll Fly Away” it seems like the perfect house no matter the weather. The sunroom would be the perfect place to curl up with a book, and at night you could look out and see the fabulous stars, plus it’s close to the park, and not far from the beach trail. Honestly having been to Seabrook twice already, I can’t think of any home that wouldn’t be a wonderful getaway. Seabrook is perfect for any type of vacation.

With the passing of Grandpa I think the tida Pool would be a great place for the whole family to come and get together for some unstressed time. This is big enought for grandkids and family…including the dog. Some quiet time on the beach is what we need.
Thanks!

I would love to bring the family and our beloved westie to stay at Seabrook. The Sand Dollar is our first choice. the location and design are just what we are looking for. a good rest is just what we need. I think we will find it at Seabrook.

Hi. Would love to stay at the Ocean Song. Seabrook looks fantastic. The ocean, the parks and activities, I have been watching on line for a long time and it is about time I got our there with the family.

Hmm. Just one? My kids love going away with as many cousins as possible, AND their grandparents, too. We’ve been to Seabrook before, and they cannot wait to go back, dragging the highest number of family members they can along for the ride. Adeline looks perfect for a long weekend of big family dinners with s’mores afterwards at one of the firepits, flying kites and digging on the beach, and zooming through Seabrook on their bicycles. And a few friendly games of bocce or croquet.

I would choose Coasting for our getaway home. I’ve stayed in a couple other of the homes, but this one appeals to me because of covered porch, hot tub, and the Wii! I know that we would spend time outside, but the Wii would provide activity for children after dark. The Coasting is in a great location and is beautifully decorated!

I have been to Seabrook and eventhough every house really is prefect, I would have to pick Our Family Beach House. This home is so cozy you don’t even need to go to the beach, it is a vacation just being there

We have stayed at Beach time and Indigo and both were lovely. I love the look of the porch on the Central Park house. I don’t think you could go wrong with any of the houses though. They are all decorated so nicely, they are comfortable and the atmosphere is so family oriented. You can’t go wrong with Seabrook!

Oh my gosh! I just got finished with the photo tour of Seabrook’s “Weldon House”. It is a dream! The decorator did an outstanding job making this cottage a visual feast and a wonderfully warm and comfortable escape for a family like mine.
This would give us the perfect excuse to travel up through Western Washington, (something we haven’t had a chance to do since we moved to the Northwest), and see part of the Washington coast. Ooh, I hope I win, I hope I win!

Oh, to try and pick just one out of all those fantastic homes. I think choosing a house for a weekend would depend on what type of weekend I was in the mood for. Fun w/ family and friends OR fun w/ out the kids and just have fun with the hubby! LOL!!! Well, since we are always looking for new adventures w/ our friends and our kids, I would have to try out “Once Upon A Time”. The colors are FUN, it’s spacious and inviting. Cozy, warm, friendly are what comes to mind. I love the fact that the kids have close places/areas to play and that there is a hot tub where the adults can play when the kids are sleeping! And with all of us, the 3.5 bathrooms is a must. The whole house is amazing and I’d love to take my friends and family to a house like this for a weekend away with no worries. I can just see us all sitting on the wrap around porch drinking our wine at night or our coffee in the mornings.

Having pulled string through the woods for the beginning of Seabrooks roads and watching the progress being made there I always thought it would be great to stay there for the weekend and I am thinking of retirement soon to the ocean. Sure would be great to try it out first.

Seabrook is a combination of cape cod, a 1950′s beach bungalow resort and the artsy/writers place to stay. There is something there for every ocean lover to enjoy.I have been watching this area grow from its begining online thinking “oh its just another developement”. Wow was i wrong this is a true seaside vilage with its own village square and the small village values.What a fabulous place… I havent had the chance to stay to visit yet.But i always thought that our ooastline was going to waste, i can only hope that more places like this start to develop in the near future. For my choice of a cabin would have to be the coyote cottage to me its the perfection of a oceanfront cabin..

My family stayed at the Sea Otter this past summer. The house was very modern, clean and the community was incredible. You’re only a quick walk to the beach, and a big park for playing ball and a cute little cafe. This summer, we’re bringing back an even larger crowd to stay in the Four Sisters. I can’t wait to sit in the wrap-around porch and sip some country time.

I’d have to chose the Beach-n-Bike Cottage. It is absolutely decked out the way I would need…a crib for our 10 month old (that alone is a huge weight off our shoulders when we travel). I can see it now…play all day with baby in the sand…have a nice family dinner together…watch the sunset as a family on the porch…curl up with my hubby for a movie after we put baby to bed. What a sweet dream!

I picked Moon Dance because we stayed there in December when it snowed! When we arrived they provided candles because the lights were off and on…Saturday was sunny and warm, but the icing on the cake was to wake up on Sunday on the Coast to a snow covered ground – it was amazing! We were taking care of a blind single father’s children while he was at dog training school and decided to treat the kids a special weekend. Our Serbian exchange student came with his girl friend and had a great time too.
Another couple stayed Friday night and another couple came for lunch on Saturday.
We committed to a family member to take the entire family and hope to do that the end of April. The kids would love to take their Dad to the same house they stayed in. We have wonderful memories of this home…..

I spent 2 nights at Seabrook with my “Girl’s Get Away” gang (5 of us) and we all were taken with Seabrook. Whether you are there to “lose yourself” or to “find yourself”, Seabrook has it.

A Whale of an Adventure is the perfect getaway for our family of four and our four-legged friend. We can’t wait to go there again! We love Seabrook because it is just remote enough to feel like you are really on vacation. What’s more, with Seabrook, you don’t have to worry about getting a dumpy vacation rental (which we’ve had plenty of in our time). We love being able to get away to a really nice home, enjoy the hot tub, the playground and the beach.

I booked the cottage, Sea’s The Day, last September and loved it! I’ve been studying the New Urbanism for several years now and have followed Casey Roloff’s successes by visiting both Bella Beach, in Oregon, and Seabrook. When I first saw Seabrook, there were only a few houses under construction, but I knew it would be the perfect beach town, and I haven’t been disappointed. If I were to dream it up, it couldn’t be better. We loved walking down to the beach, the colorful cottages, the quiet streets, and the close proximity to town. I think our cottage was the best though, with wonderfully beachy decor and colors, and a big morning porch for our coffee. Thank you for making our weekend at the ocean just perfect. I want to come back so much!!!

I think Adeline cottage with its Carriage house would be a great outing for our group: 6@7. We are three couples, one with kids, who worked with each others spouse at one time many, many years ago. We started doing monthly dinners out for six of us at 7pm, hence 6@7. We have since branched out to camping trips, vacations away (Hawaii for example) and also an occasional cruise. A stay at Seabrook’s Adeline cottage would be a great outing for our group.

My dog and I stayed at Weldin House the weekend after Labor Day in 2007. We picked Weldin House because large dogs are welcome there. No pets allowed on the furniture, of course, but Baxter was very comfortable on the large dog bed provided by the owners. He stretched out and relaxed on “his” bed while I relaxed on the couch in the media room while watching TV.
We had a lovely time and thank the owners for sharing their house with us. Would love to go back now that the restaurant is open to check out the cuisine.

Looked longingly at Grandma Dorothy’s Cottage since we lost our Grandma Dorothy last year and Ella’s Escape might be nice with our little granddaughter Ella, but we need the room with six grandchildren offered in the Central Park Cottage. Thanks for a chance to dream!!

The Pacific Beach area is our favorite and traditional place to make great family memories. Pacific Idyll – looks ideal.. . a place large enough to all come together to eat well, relax, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company all together!

Wow! A chance to win a weekend at Seabrook! Our Marriage Group of 5 couples were there for Valentine’s Day and enjoyed Leah’s Lighthouse. What a perfect weekend. Loved the beach, the house, and the whole environment. Yup, Leah’s Lighthouse with the carriage house is perfect.

I love Seabrook! I stayed there with my family last summer and can’t wait to get back. We really want friends to come because it’s a great group family destination. But since many of them are affected by the economy for various reasons they have all been unable to commit to going with us. That’s why I would choose the Adeline so that I can take them with me and my family for a little deserved R & R. Truly a great place!

The Hodgepodge Lodge is our absolute favorite. It is anything but hodgepodge, it is the best substitute for a place in New England. Celebrating birthdays will become our newest family time activity. Having free time there would be a wonderful gift.

We’ve stayed at Pacific Beach many times over the years as we raised our family living around the world. Seabrook is that culmination of those beach towns we enjoyed living in while on the Atlantic Coast. Now we have six grandchildren to spoil and share beach adventures. Bring on the storms or the sun, either way we would love to stay at “Grandma Dorothy’s” house to build those new memories of beach walks, treasure hunting, kite flying, fires and smores.

Coyote Cottage looks like an incredible little “home away from home” to stay at.
The view is amazing and it`s close to everything. The ambiance of the whole little village is quaint and comfy. A fun family vacation getaway destination……..

Our dream Seabrook cottage and why it is worthy would be the “Sand In The Toes” cottage. With it’s close proximity to the new children’s park and ocean it would make for a much deserving getaway for an over-worked Seattle family. At the end of the day after biking and beach combing nothing sounds better then relaxing in the large hot tub with a nice glass of NW wine.

My husband and I love staying at Seabrook — we have stayed in several of their darling cottages already. Recently we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary there. The cottage we would most like to stay in, in the future is Seabluff at Seabrook. The sea views would be wonderful. The games listed in the game room would make it especailly fun for when we aren’t biking or walking or hiking or… We look forward to our next stay at Seabrook and would love for that to be in Seabluff at Seabrook.

Hands down Sand Dollar Cottage is the place to go. We’ve stayed there before and the decor, spacial layout, and location within Seabrook is unbeatable. We’ve had the opportunity to look through some of the other cottages and as nice as they are, we continue to return to the Sand Dollar Cottage. Just thinking of it while writing this makes me want to reserve another weekend. We treat the Sand Dollar as our own private home at the beach.

I would chose Ocean Song w/ Writer’s Loft cottage. It’s the perfect getaway for the whole family, with an ocean view to boot! My parents need a main floor bedroom, and the wheelchair ramp and ADA shower is a definite plus for my aging father! We can sleep upstairs with our baby across the hall, and my sister and brother-in-law can take the writers loft, with their teenage daughter crashing on the couch. Everyone has their own space, which is what makes the best family vacations!

We have stayed at “Sea’s the Day” twice and it is wonderful – we would love to visit again soon. The cottage is absolutely comfortable and furnished so nicely. The bonus is we can bring our dog – who loves the getaway as much as the adults and kids. Seabrook is a fantastic place to just relax and enjoy some family time.

We chose Four Sisters! We have 3 children so being across from the park is important. The floor plan is perfect for our family (and often when friends come along) and we can watch the kids play while we sip wine on the front porch. Being that close to the bon fire each night is wonderful as well! We love Seabrook!

Seabluff at Seabrook for us! The ocean vista alone was enough to hook me. The only thing my family and I love more than beach life is small, quaint beach towns and we can’t wait to explore Seabrook. I was smitten by the name of Hodgepodge Lodge and sorely tempted but the view from Seabluff is what we go to the beach for.

We love the Periwinkle Cottage. My wife and I visited Seabrook over 2 years ago right after the first few homes were built, and well before most of the publicity started to pour in. We fell in love with everything about Seabrook most noteably the friendliness of the people involved with the community, and the quality of design, architecture and construction. As my wife and I do not have any kids, this little cottage would be perfect for us. It would something we would love to buy if it wasn’t for the unfortunate down turn in the economy. I’m playing Lotto and Mega-Millions this weekend in hopes of generating cash for one of these homes!

My Family first visited Seabrook July 2007 and stayed at the Lost Lobster. Well suffice it to say we we’re hooked, we booked again last year and plan to continue this family tradition. My family’s dream vacation is at Seabrook, we love spending the mornings walking the beach looking for seashells and my son especially likes climbing the rotted wood, playing with the seaweed and collecting Sanddollars. He keeps trying to see what lives inside (He’s 6). We love the distance from everything, the seclusion is awesome, no where to go, no place to be. Very relaxing and the community is amazing. We love spending time at the park and visiting with Darcie, who holds a special place in our hearts. She is so inviting and opens her home and heart to all that love Seabrook. We had a foam rocket war at central park with about 15 kids and I have to say it was the highlight of my vacation playing with my son and all the kids had a blast. The Lost Lobster is our favorite place, not only is the name cute but the decorating put us at ease when we first arrived. Thanks Seabrook and all you do to keep this American tradition alive and thriving.

SWEETHEART COTTAGE OR BUST!!!!!!!!
I would love to bring ‘my sweetheart’ to Seabrook and stay in THE SWEETHEART COTTAGE–it’s just the right size for two! Yes, please have the hottub turned up and we’ll find plenty else to do too!!!!!
I was lucky enough to have a tour of Seabrook last year. I love the homes, clean streets, community areas, and of course, the BIKES!!!!

I’m choosing Forest Echo — I like the idea of combining trees with “a peek” of the ocean. Plus, as a dog owner, having a house with fenced backyard makes for a more relaxing time for both me and the dog. Having never been to Seabrook, it was fun to dream . . .

Found out about Seabrook on the net last week. My 3 Aunts 2 cousins and I are going there this weekend. (Girl time.) I spent hours looking at the homes and have had a very hard time trying to deside which house to rent. Everyone had input and things they were looking for in a house. Some want view, Lg. TV, hot tub, comforable furniture, porch, beautiful decore, close to beach. That ment I had to go with Seabluff at Seabrook. It is the only house that offers all of these things. But all the houses look wonderful and we can’t wait to check out seabrook. I would love to win this and take my children and families for a get away. They live out of state and I would love to show off washingtons beautiful coast to them.

Having spent a great weekend there a few years ago, it is always on my mind on how to get back for a visit to Seabrook. The weather, had we have been anywhere else, would have been atrocious.

We have stayed in three different Seabrook cottages, and loved every one. If I had to choose one, I would choose Ocean Song, which is where we stayed on our last visit. It was perfect for us because it allows larger dogs, it’s close to the beach and cafe, and it was awesome for our three kids–all the toys and books kept them busy throughout our 4-day winter stay when it was too cold and windy to be outside much (it even snowed on our last day!)

Nothing, speaks to the soul and rekindles the heart more, than to look upon the vast grandeur of the ocean…along with, those you love, evenings by the fire, a favorite wine and a relaxing walk along the sandy shore. The choice is obvious..the SEABLUFF!

Adeline gets my vote. It would be perfect to share with 2 other families. We discovered Seabrook last year and have been there 3 times at 3 different houses with different configurations of family and friends. Give it a try and you’ll be hooked, too ; )

INTO THE WOODS does not disappoint! I took my sister’s family last summer and after reviewing the description on the website she knew this house was the perfect dream cottage. My 5 year-old nephew loved the bear in the LR, enjoyed playing the Nintendo Wii upstairs, and most of all the bunk bed was a big hit. As for the adults, we appreciated the beautiful walk down to the water following the path just out the front door, the outside shower to wash the sandy kid off, and the hot tub. To top it off weather that weekend was sunny and warm. We made some fabulous memories and tucked them into a photo album for my nephew to help him remember the experience for a long time to come. Can’t wait to return.

Had the privilege of staying at Sand Dollar cottage a couple of years ago with girlfriends. Everything about the stay was fabulous – the cottage as well as the whole Seabrook experience. It’s been a dream of mine to stay at Once Upon a Time and take my kids and grandkids. They would LOVE those bed cubbies. I’ve toured this house, and it is just amazing.

we’ve enjoyed three great stays @ Once Upon a Time. we explore a little more of the coast each visit, but most of all just enjoy hanging out in the house. it’s so comfortable, attractive, and stocked with amenities, it’s easy to enjoy Once Upon a Time rain or shine. a great place to go with families or for a couples get away.

If you are looking for a place where you can walk, beachcomb, ride bikes, take a hike and enjoy the local surroundings then pick Seabrook. We decided to take advantage of a recent special and fell in love with the town. By far my family votes for Sunset Cottage, where we have found a “home away from home”. We wish we could visit every weekend!

We have twice now visited Seabrook and what a pleasure. All the homes are lovely and so interesting to look at. The walking trails are easy and enjoyable. The hidden floats make for extra adventure. My granddaughter wanted to stay next at Sand in the Toes so I suspect that would be my choice. The decor is lovely but every home there seems to be that way.

Sea’s The Day is the choice of my house. I want to visit and stay there because such home is the house that will take care of all my immediate family. I like the fireplace and the windows around it. I like a fireplace and being close to the water.
My only grandson was conceived in Seabrook. He is only 3 months old and he told me that he wants to go and visit Seabrook where his mammy and daddy went to spend a vacation weekend. I also would like to know where it all happened. Choose me as soon as possible.

I would choose the Ocean’s Song. The outside (I love the big front porch and the pale green and white color scheme)and inside (the kitchen and living room look warm and cozy) are just what I would want if I were building my dream beach cottage. I also like the ADA accessible bathroom/bedroom on the first floor. Everything looks perfect!

My 7yr old grandaughter and I have been browsing through all the beautiful cottages and dreaming about staying in ALL of them!!! We finally decided that Seastar is our favorite! We would treasure a stay there and a chance to finally visit Seabrook. The ocean has always been a special place for my family to get away from “life” and renew our spirits.

Sparkling grains of sand. Crisp morning breezes touched with salt water. A warm fire crackling in the front room. Unforgettable moments to share with your family. Smiles on everyone’s face. Quiet walks to the beach. Lively bike rides to the Cafe. Holding hands on the back porch. The sound of children laughing in the park. Watching our dog bask in the afternoon sun. A vacation to sooth our souls.
That’s a weekend at the Elanor Cottage.
Seabrook Washington.
I can’t wait to be there again.

We will celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary this year and have very fond memories of the area as we stayed at Ocean Crest for our honeymoon! We are now retired and are thinking of purchasing a getaway…..and have always loved the beach!

ONCE UPON A TIME is my favorite!!! I love the whimsical environment and well laid out furnishings. Staying here is an invitation to relax and enjoy the beauty of Seabrook. Enjoy the original artwork and and experience the warmth of this home – a perfect place to share family time and catch up with special friends.

I have stayed at the Moondance and would love to go back with my entire family. There is plenty of room, I love the layout, and the house is immaculate.

My favorite is the Beachcomber with its cozy yet tasteful charm, and the big deck facing the woods. I can just imagine sharing a freshly caught seafood dinner with friends and family around the table, with a fire crackling in the stove and music playing in the background, and then taking a walk on the beach to enjoy the sunset. What a delight to wake up to the sounds of the surf in the distance and birds singing in the woods while enjoying a steaming cup of coffee in the morning sunshine on the deck. I’m keeping my fingers crossed this will all come true!

I love Seabrook. I’m not sure if I am more taken by the green building, the wonderful architectural details, the lack of sprawl, the community feel, the wonderful beach or the reasonable drive from Seattle but it all FEELS GOOD. I chose A View for Two as the place that would combine a tree top feeling with a view of the beach—what could be better. Congratulations on a job very well done!!

I am not entering the contest, but I have to give a shout to praise “Into the Woods” as another couple and my family rented it for a weekend and between the WII and bikes for the kids, the hot tub, a gorgeous kitchen and limiting in the midst of the razor clam season, we were in HEAVEN! Seabrook is an amazing place that really brings people together and gets you back to nature.

My wife and I have been dreaming about a vacation at Seabrook since we first looked at it almost two years ago. We were very interested in the properties and had wished there was a way for us to buy a vacation cottage there. When we saw this contest, we knew we had to enter and so we found the Lily Pad Cottage to be our favorite. It’s list of Entertainment options is the best part for us. We will enjoy the games and movies as well as the sounds of the ocean nearby. I can hardly wait to enjoy the sand and surf on the Washington Coast.

….by the sea, a chance to spend time on in an olde fashioned cottage…..the Lost Lobster……….a quaint name to go with the whole experience of staying at this unusual, quaint old fashioned feeling resort area. We love the ocean……and I enjoy the feeling of stepping back into time……

The Beachcomber sounds like just the place for a good book, some good movies, and a cuddly fire. Our family (all 12 of us) stayed at Leah’s Lighthouse last winter to celebrate one who loved the ocean and had passed away. Although it was cold and windy when we arrived, the sun and warmth came out and we had a wonderful time on the beach with the grandkids wading and building castles.

Pick a favorite? Are you kidding? I’d love to stay ANYWHERE at Seabrook! A couple times a year my whole family goes out to Pacific Beach & we love to stop by Seabrook to see what’s new. We all miss the east coast but are reminded of it when we visit the community. I would love to LIVE there! Maybe someday! In the meantime, if I had to pick, the Adeline or the Sea’s the Day look wonderful but again, I’d be happy camping out in the community park so long as I’d get to see the cottages & reminisce of great memories back east.

The Our Family Beach House was lovely and certainly condusive to just hanging out laughing and catching up on each others lives. THANKS

I would choose the Seabluff Cottage. I work for the State of Washington in the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. Since my wife and I moved for my job .. the job has demanded a huge portion of my time. I would like to be able to spend some time with my wife and two children without having to worry about what I should be doing for work. I chose the Seabluff because I am Deaf and a very visual person. The Seabrook .. looks to be relaxing. I can imagine being able to sit on the large wrap around porch and become reconnected with my family.

Part of winning is the suprise we would get. Anyway, there are so many cottages and each seems to appeal to a different aspect of a costal vacation how could anyone choose?? I must say though that my wife loves a covered porch…

A group of friends and I have stayed at Seabrook a few times, in a couple of cottages, and found that ‘A Whale of an Adventure’ is the perfect size for our group.
