Thanks for the worry free week in Seattle. Absolutely nothing to complain about here. Exceptionally clean, in a quiet neighborhood, with more than enough space for our two couples. We particularly enjoyed relaxing on the balcony and enjoying the view of the ship channel, between trips to the numerous nearby attractions. Roku TV provided ample selection of entertainment during down time. Communications before, during, and after the trip were excellent. Cannot overstate how appreciated the off-street parking was! Would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises.

Great location near the beach and very quiet
This plac was clean and beautiful and I want to bring my wife back for a longer stay!!
My friends and I enjoyed the house and loved that it was a short walk to the beach. We would definitely stay again!
Nice place enjoyed our stay neighbors are a bit annoying and loud every night through out the entire night but not the bnbs fault
Location and proximity to the beach was excellent, very quiet and peaceful. Layout of the house was very nice, great space. Some thoughtful amenities for pets, beach activities, spices, coffee, games, movies, etc. Recreation stays was very responsive in a quick time frame.
Unfortunately we didn't feel this property met the value for the price. Cleanliness wasn't the greatest with dirty utensils, wrappers, food items left from previous guests. They do provide signage about burs in the carpet, and bring slippers because there no joke, they hurt. Water was a concern for us with the color, taste, smell, we ended up buying bottled water. Trail to the beach is not maintained and you'll need to traverse thru waist high grass. Checkout instructions weren't very clear, multiple sources all had different and varying information, such as automated instructions from Recreation stays, the house manual, and signage by the front entry. Overall a nice place but needs some attention for the price.
Great place!
It was quiet and relaxing. Next I would aim for a 1st floor room.
House was very clean, well-stocked with basic things we need. Adam and staff are very responsive to our needs and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this place. AAA+++
Incredible stay at a truly gorgeous location!! The views from the decks were very special and we loved being able to sauna and then run down for a dip
Thanks for the support while arriving late at night. Great place to stay and relax !!
Heads up, this is a stairs-only walkup. One photo's angle suggests ground-floor access, but it isn't. There is no door code despite one being stated and provided; you pick up a physical key from the office when you arrive. (They are not open 24/7.)
A few other things worth knowing. My Verizon phone showed SOS-only the entire stay, so plan on no cell service if that is your provider. I only learned about the internet problems through emails received after the booking was complete. The unit has a strong, stale odor that hits you the moment you open the door. The bedding and extra blankets are worn.
If you just need a place to sleep, it's okay. If you're expecting any luxuries, contemporary furniture, or updated appliances, this isn't it.
To be transparent, I did not address any of this with the host as I had no service and nothing could be remedied immediately anyway.
Note for the host: consider a QR code for tipping the housekeeper. A lot of people don't carry cash anymore.
We really enjoyed our stay in Unit 12 of the Hi-Tide resort. I was a bit nervous because our unit had no reviews on Airbnb, and I had never been to Moclips before, so there were a lot of unknowns.
We really had a lovely stay. To start with, the communication of the host was very positive and prompt, even though I may have tried their patience with many questions.
We arrived after office hours, and instructions to find our keys and then our unit were very clear.
When we arrived our unit was warmly lit and welcoming with the fireplace lit up.
The decor is cozy, beachy, and feels recently updated. We had pretty much everything we needed. The view from our deck was outstanding, and access to the beach and Moclips river was amazingly close. The feeling of being in a quiet getaway off the beaten path was unique. Highly recommend.
Accessibility note, although this is a lower level unit, access is up a flight of stairs from parking.
Great location, clean, fast communication. Thank you.
Disappointing. First, after approving our stay and us paying the host demanded 3rd party ID verification in violation of AirBnB rules before giving us check in instructions. The house stank, porch lights didn’t work our entire stay and the front steps are iffy in the dark, windows were open upon arrival, couldn’t get any of the tvs to work right, no towels in bathrooms, a pile of snow sleds, shovels and junk laying in the front yard, overgrown with weeds, electronic lock was broken leaving a single key to share, upstairs light switch is broken, broken faucet and shower head that sprayed everywhere out the top in bathroom upstairs. We did find towels and some bedding still wet in the dryer which was some of the smell but the basement also smells musty and moldy. None of the ping pong or foosball tables were in playable condition as well. The toothbrushes, tampons and granola bites were a nice touch but the drawer full of condoms grossed everyone out. Will not recommend or stay again.
Was good for a friend’s reunion after many years.
Positive:
Property was very nice and cozy, great for a Homebase to go do stuff, or to hang out at.
Negative:
Would have been nice for a few more parking options, as well as making it clear parking on the street outside the home counts towards the car limit in the driveway. That way your trip isn’t interrupted by multiple emails and phone calls. That was the only negative thing about our stay.
My partner and I reserved this spot for ourselves and our in-laws for a 3 day getaway on the sound. The space was the perfect size for two couples and two toddlers. Think “beach cabin” vibes. The kitchen is well appointed and the detached patio is amazing for dinners prepared in it. The bedrooms are smaller, but still provide ample space and having three of them is optimal. We walked on the beach and saw deer, seals, snakes, birds, and all kinds of sea critters when the tide was low. The kiddos even swam at the beach just over the bluff from the cabin. The stairs are sturdy and safe to get down to the water. I ESPECIALLY enjoyed my morning coffee on the patio watching the mist roll out and the sun coming up to awaken the bay. Very good stay, worth the price, I totally recommend this spot for a tranquil quiet getaway.
Great property, but we found a pair of dirty socks under the coffee table.
Nice space! Peaceful
Enjoyable stay.
