| GREAT PLACE! We loved it. It was a great impromptu getaway for me and my fiance. We took long walks on the beach, enjoyed a nice sunny day in January, curled up and watched movies at night and spent a lot of time reading and relaxing and enjoying the view from the house. We also like that the house is in Pacific Beach which has a few amenities. We were able to go grab a bite to eat or get a late night snack if we wanted to. It's a beautiful house, a great place to stay and perfect for a quick get-away as it is only 2 1/2 hours from Renton. We'll be back and thank you. We really enjoyed it! |

| Wonderful stay at Bob's Pacific Beach house. We were a group of five ladies and one infant and had more than enough room. Great kitchen stocked with all the cooking utensils you'll need, big comfy beds, lots of extra bedding, towels, and toiletries in case you forgot something. Very comfortable sitting area; spent many hours reading curled up with their house blankets enjoying the view over the deck. We made use of the well-stocked dvd library, games, and books to round out our girls weekend and were not disappointed. The cute little town is a short five minute walk and their is a cute coffee/gift shop that is not to be missed. Had a lovely time strolling the beach at low tide. Would highly recommend! |

What a fantastic place! The view of the Ocean is so spectacular you even enjoy being there in the rain.
We all had a wonderful time and the accomodations were perfect.

We stayed at the beach house for a long weekend
right after Christmas. We were 2 families with 5
kids between us. The house is absolutely perfect
for a large group with a nice spacious layout,
beautiful view of the beach, gourmet kitchen, 3
bathrooms, GREAT stereo system, laundry, etc. The
house really has every amenity you could want...
We have done this same trip with our two families
for 20 years now, and this for sure was the best
place we have rented so far. Luckily we also had
perfect weather and spent most of our daylight
hours on the beach, including a day trip to Kalaloch
and Quinalt, an easy excursion from Pacific Beach.
We would definitely recommend it, and hope to
return next year! |

| We had a really nice, quiet several days. In December, Pacific Beach is quite deserted. We didn't get very adventurous, but one of our group is a gourmet cook, so he was busy in the spacious, well-appointed kitchen. The house was very comfortable. Having king-sized beds in each room was one of the main reasons we chose this property. I never understand why so many rental home owners go with queen or double beds... |

| We recently stayed at Bob's Beach House this Labor Day weekend. It was a great time. Each of us having our own bedroom (with a king sized bed) in the very comfortable house was great, too. Saturday we spent time on the beach taking advantage of the sun. Sunday, we watched the local parade from the upper deck. I felt sorry for the pirates due to the heavy rains that hit just when they were next to us. It was funny to watch them scramble about trying to find protection from their boat float as well as dawn rain coats and hats. Fortunately the downpour was short lived and the parade continued on. I think every participant in the parade had taffy they were handing out. With us on the upper deck, they'd try to throw some our way, but it was just too far. Still one person was able to get one piece to us. The house, setting, amendities, and company made for a great weekend. |

| My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bob and Elizabeth’s beautiful Pacific Beach House. The view, walks to the beach, a grocery store and coffee shop near by, well stocked kitchen, games, books and movies for all ages, comfy furniture and beds…..anything that we could possibly have needed was available to us. Thank you Bob and Elizabeth, you made us feel right at home. We are looking forward to visiting the beach house again next year. |

We thoroughly enjoyed your amazing house. What a wonderful view of the ocean! It easily accommodated our family of 10. We really appreciated the close proximity to the beach, the extremely comfortable sofas, and well equipped kitchen. We definitely want to return again soon. |

| We LOVED Bob's Pacific beach house. Our entire experience from beginning to end was GREAT! Would highly recommend this to anyone and will surely visit again when possible. Bob was great to deal with and the house is furnished very tastefully and thoughtfully and have games to entertain every age group. Very clean and nicely kept and has a GREAT view. Bob is too modest about mentioning the electric cables across the house, it doesnt hinder the view at all. Loved it! THANK you Bob and Elizabeth! |

| Staying in Bobs beach house was a dream come true. It was beautiful! What a georgous property. The house is decorated so perfectly. It was peaceful, relaxing. Our family played games and watched the sunset from a terrific deck overlooking the ocean. It was very clean and spacious. Very well kept up. We felt right at home and had a hard time leaving. Anyone would have a fabulous time at Bob's beach house. I'm so glad we found it! |

Bob, thank you very much for sharing your beautiful home with us this weekend. We had an amazing time. Everything was perfect for us this weekend, the house, clams, and even the weather!!! 2 beautiful days of sunshine made a great weekend better. We had a hard leaving and would have loved to stay longer and enjoy the majestic views of the ocean from the great comfort of your home!
Thank you,

Hi Bob,
Just a quick note to let you know that we had a delightful time staying at your place. On the first afternoon we made a nice excursion to scout out the beach scene and then yesterday we ran and walked along the beach to Moclips and back, finding a fossilized scallop right on the beach. What a find! Other beach combing treasures include the radius of a large pinniped and two teeth of Phoca vitulina (identifiable by context and the diagnostic shape of the carnassials). Today, when we leave here, we'll be surveying some local landscapes in search of fossilized invertebrates. What fun!
Thanks again for providing this lovely place to take refuge for a few days. I'll definitely recommend your place to friends in the future. |

Bob,
We had a great time, again. Weather was perfect on Saturday, it was sunny almost all day.
We liked the new mirror, since it reflects the ocean in it giving you the impression of infinity.
Sunday morning we had a noisy storm that woke me up, the waves were huge, it was fun to watch.
We used the internet a lot for watching various soccer games.
IT was a little cold when we got there (52) so we had to wait a couple of hours for the house to warm up ... so we had to have some drinks as soon as we arrived. There were 8 us, perfect sized group.
Thanks again,

Had an amazing time at Bob's Pacific Beach house..definetly the nicest vacation home I have been too..easy beach access. The best part was waking up to snow on the ground and then an hour later the sun coming out and it being fairly warm!
Thanks for a great time! |

| We had a wonderful time on our first trip to Pacific beach. Bob's house was awesome with some great amenities and lovely views of the beach - watching the sunset in the living room was amazing. We loved the beach and driving on it was a unique experience. Dragging the kids back home would have been much tougher if the house wasn't so inviting where they loved playing on the deck with the airplane see-saw or watching movies. All in all a great place to relax and enjoy quality time with friends and family! |

| This house is amazing along with the view! It has everything you wish you had in your own home. There is lots to do in the surrounding areas too. The beach is really close and we loved it. We had a house full with my whole family there, 8 adults and 7 kids, and we never felt crowded. The kids loved it. Next time we head that way we will for sure stay here. Thank you for making our vacation wonderful by providing a home with everything that we needed. |

Bob, the house was perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, even though the weather wasn't very cooperative! We took trips to Ocean Shores and did the tourist things - horses on the beach, quads, bowling and other family members joined us for dinner one night - a mini family reunion. It was great to watch a movie, play cards, or whatever and listen to the ocean.
Thanks so much! |

| Hi Bob; we just returned from spending 4 days at your lovely beach home. Everything was just perfect! There was plenty of room in the house for all seven of us to "do our own thing" and we even got to bring our dogs! Humans and canines all had an absolute blast on the beach. Thank you for providing our family with such a wonderful place to stay during our first annual family reunion! |

| We chose wisely to host our family reunion from this beautiful and spacious beach house. This is not the beach house from your childhood memories. This upscale home provides a gourmet kitchen with all large and small appliances. Even a special request for a crockpot (to allow more time on the beach)was prompltly met. We enjoyed time on our favorite beach flying kites, building wildly decorated sand castles, making sand candles, burying each other in the sand, and enjoying a roaring bonfire or two. In the evenings there were new games to play, beautiful books to read, great toys for the grandchildren, not to mention three plasma screens and internet access for those more "connected." It was a great week enjoyed by ALL. |

This was our second visit. We had a great time again - just staying around Pacific Beach. This included several trips to the beach, the mornings were calm and sunny, and the afternoons were sunny with a constant wind - perfect for kites. The wind is so constant there are people near the beach who have kites up all afternoon mounted where they are staying.
We also spent time playing games, walking to the store to get goodies, and relaxing. |

| We stayed in this gorgeous house for the Memorial Day weekend with our friends. We dig the razor clams in another beach which is only 5-10 minute driving from this house. The fully-equipped kitchen really helped us cook all the 60 delicious clams by using four different receipts. We then sat around the big dinning table, enjoyed the fresh seafood and appreciated the beautiful ocean view and sunset through the crystal-clean windows in the living room. We took a walk after dinner. On the way to the beach, there is a small market where we bought some ice cream. It was so nice to taste the ice cream, chat with friends, and take sunset pictures on the beach. It was busy but relaxing day. All of our friends agreed that this is our most enjoyable experience of renting a house for vacation. |

Bob,
Our group of 6 co-workers-current and retired- enjoyed one of the most relaxing weekends ever. We napped, ate snacks, walked the beach, played miniature golf, napped, ate some more, played 3 “killer” games of Yahtzy and watched the sunset from the deck. The weather was gorgeous! The house was everything advertised and more! We can’t thank you enough for allowing us to share your home. We are already planning a return trip.

Dear Bob and Jen-Yee,
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful and comfortable beach house alst weekend! Great to have a well equipped kitchen at our disposal to cook tasty meals, the house had lots of room for everybody and a plasma TV with DVD player for every kid! I also liked that I could easily hook up my Ipod to the sound system and use all the built in speakers. We really enjoyed the expansive ocean view and the kids enjoyed playing with the play plane on the porch. We had some nice walks on the beach, walked over to the coffee shop, flew some kites from the kite shop down the street, went swimming at the Hoquiam YMCA (Raquel went down the tube slide at least 4 times!) and played some of your great board game selection... Great family time!
Thanks again, we'll be back!

| I stayed at Bob's BeachHouse for my Birthday. It is an immaculate home. Complete with two decks. The downstairs bedrooms were as impressive as the master bedroom. Each of these lower bedrooms, has doors opening onto the lower deck. I enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning, drinking my coffee. The gas fireplace was a thrill to a non-fire starter like me! Hey, even I can flip a switch! A large hawk flew by the deck just to show off. My absolute favorite moment however, was the moon beaming down on the water and the stars twinkling above. This was without a doubt, the best birthday I've ever had. |

My sisters and their families from Portland joined our family for dinner (a total of 14) and there was even room at the table for all. This is an absolutely great house in a lovely quiet little town. Loved all of the books and games also. We'll be back. Thanks Bob! |

Nine of us, all friends from work, had a great time at Bob's Pacific Beach House. The beds were all very comfy, the house is new and well equipped, and in a great location for fun weekend. It was wonderful to hear the roar of the ocean from the deck as well as from most of the bedrooms. If you're looking for a place with a great view and within easy walking distance of the beach, I think this house will be a wonderful choice.

This was the perfect place for our family reunion. We 3 siblings had not been in the same house together in 33 years and the house allowed us both privacy, family time, and multiple occupations (books, movies, games, talking, sunset watching)at the same time. It easily accommodated all 12 of us (including the 14 year old dog)without tripping over each other, and actually felt quite empty when 1/2 departed on Sunday. The dog mat and bowls, a really nice added touch, made Sadie feel welcome too. The kitchen facilities were exceptional, there was nothing we needed for cooking with that wasn't there, right down to the electronic rice cooker. The kids loved the ice maker in the fridge, causing it to run out at least once. We had a lovely time and many long beach walks and would love to return one day. The IGA at Ocean Shores is well stocked, even for the vegetarians among us. A beautiful spot, a lovely house and a nice neighbour to boot!
