2 Best Hotels in The Olympic Peninsula and Washington Coast, Washington

Situated at the southern tip of the Ocean Shores peninsula with sweeping views of Grays Harbor, this upscale vacation community begun in 2017 has about 60 homes (and counting) of various sizes and configurations, from compact one-bedroom bungalows to grand three-story homes with multiple bedrooms and baths. Many properties overlook the bay or pristine Oyhut Wildlife Recreation Area and have beach access, and all are within walking distance of the water. There are a couple of hip eateries in the village and a well-stocked grocery store. 

Crushed seashells line pathways throughout the dapper planned beach resort town of Seabrook, where nearly half of its collection of some 450 Cape Cod–style homes are available to rent. Accommodations range from cozy and modern cabins that sleep four to sprawling houses where up to 24 can comfortably gather. A bike-rental shop offers beach cruisers for exploring, and there's an indoor pool and hot tub, fitness center, several parks, playground, tennis court, and basketball court. Free summer concerts and festivals throughout the year make Seabrook a fun destination for all ages.
