I've been wanting to see Cape Flattery and the Tatoosh Island Lighthouse for several years.  This summer, that's what my family and I finally did. We booked 3 cottages at Chito Beach Resort in Sekiu, Washington. My brother and his wife stayed in The Birdhouse (whose deck officially became our favorite hangout spot) We spent many memorable hours there, enjoying the ever changing views of the sea, wildlife, and spectacular sunsets. My sister stayed in The Wolf Den. I stayed in the cottage adjacent to hers, The Lighthouse.  I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in the Lighthouse Cottage. The bed was soooo comfy. Water pressure was great. So much attention was paid to every charming little detail. Nothing was overlooked.  And that view!  On Saturday night the owners, Tamara and Matt had a little get together around the bonfire with all of the guests at Chito Beach. (There are a total of 6 cottages) They were wonderful and gracious hosts who served us beverages and DELICIOUS appetizers. They made us feel very welcome there.  After I got back home, I sorted through the MANY photos that I'd taken, and decided which ones to post on Facebook.  As gorgeous as some of them are, I think some of the pictures of the sunsets at Chito Beach are even more stunning than my photos of the Cape.  Especially on our last night there. Truly magical and almost otherworldly Our time there was an experience that our family will treasure forever. read more

What a wonderful place to get away. Romantic. Quiet. Truly a home away from home. Tide pools to explore. Hikes that are close ( if you want to leave the property but, you won't ). Everything you need is in the house. We stayed at the Rock House. Truly an experience. Breathtaking views. We saw otters, dolphins and puffin birds. Worth every penny!!! read more

We only have superlatives for this fantastic cozy resort with stunning sunrise AND sunset views. The cottages are well appointed and comfy, and there's a wonderful fire pit and well situated sitting areas to enjoy your front row seat to a gorgeous panoramic view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Canada while lulled by ocean waves at your door step. Chito Beach Resort the perfect setting for a romantic getaway while enjoying all that Mother Nature has to offer. read more

My wife and I wanted to do some hiking in the Olympic Peninsula so we booked two nights at Chito Beach. Reservations and all communication via phone and email was extremely easy with Ali. Ali was friendly, helpful and prompt in all of our correspondence. Visa and MasterCard are accepted forms of payment. To hold a reservation, half of the charges are due at the time reservations are made. The remaining half of the balance is paid at check-in time. We chose the Castaway Cabin. Darling cabin made up of many clever re-purposed items. Love that. The view of the water is amazing. Watching the sun rise and set for two days was extremely relaxing. Wi-Fi is available but we had a hard time getting any service with our laptop. We never had a problem with our phones though. Be sure to contact your phone carrier prior to arriving so that you are not charged roaming fees. During our stay out here, the towers accessed were in Canada, although we were still in the United States. Our cabin was furnished with just about everything to make ones stay easy and enjoyable. There is not an oven; however, two induction burners are offered to cook on. A full microwave. A full size coffee pot (no grinder though). A full set of pot & pans are available. Glasses, plate-ware and silverware are available (wine opened & beer opener included). There is one ice cube tray in the freezer. Dishes are hand washed since there isn't a dishwasher. Salt, pepper and foil are available. Coffee filters, popcorn, cocoa and tea are also available. Toiletries aren't really offered aside from some hand soap so be sure to bring your own shampoo and conditioner. There are two heavy blankets available to help ward off the chill while sitting on the outside deck. A communal area is available to BBQ. Be sure to bring your own briquettes if you plan to BBQ. This neck of the woods is near the Makah tribe which happens to be a "dry" reservation. With that being said, be sure to bring your own beer, wine and spirits from home because you will be hard pressed to find any sold at the stores or convenience stores. During our stay here, most hikes require either the Discover Pass or the National Forest Pass. The passes are not interchangeable. Thank you Ali and Brian for providing such a gem of a place to play at, relax, and recharge. Thank you for caring about the footprint that you're leaving on our environment by using re-purposed items. read more

For those of you reading through all of these 5-star reviews and wondering about the outlier (Jackie S.) who gave a rating of one star, I have to say, this has me baffled. You could not ask to meet kinder, more wonderful people than the current owners of Chito Beach. Matt and Tamara are gracious and thoughtful hosts who go above and beyond to make your stay at their resort a one of a kind, memorable experience. They pride themselves on keeping Chito Beach a peaceful oasis where you can lose yourself in the sound of the waves, the colors of the sunset, or watching otters at play. I cannot recommend Chito Beach highly enough! If you want to escape the pressures of life and find true relaxation a few short hours from Seattle, this is the place to go. read more

My mom found this place on Tripadvisor for our family trip to the Olympic Peninsula, and wow... what a find! It's a small place kind of in the middle of nowhere. The address is Sekiu, but it's actually a bit west of the main part of Sekiu (not that there's really enough to call it a "main part," either). Not a bad location if you want to explore Neah Bay, Shi Shi Beach, and the Ozette Triangle. There are only six units, all uniquely furnished. We had 6 people, so we stayed in the Lighthouse and Wolf Den, which each held 3 people and were right next to each other. If I went back with fewer people, I think I'd go for the Birdhouse because the layout looked really neat. All of the units have a fully-equipped kitchen, and the appliances and cookware are as nice as what I have at home! The units are all beach-facing and a few steps away from beach access. The owners are a real highlight of the experience. They love it there, and they want everyone else to love it, too. And as one of them said, "We like any excuse to throw a party." We were there for the 4th of July, and they had a big BBQ for guests and neighbors, and the guys set off quite a fireworks show on the beach. It was like having a big extended family - so much fun! They said they do a big party for summer solstice, too. read more

My wife and I have a passion for travel, and that often means fancy hotels, big cities and five star restaurants. But in the six years we've been married, our stay at Chito Beach was by far our favorite. The location is incredibly beautiful, and the cabin was beyond perfect. It felt like we were at home. They even provide binoculars to see the wildlife and a guidebook to know what you're seeing! We spent four nights, and each night we opened the windows and listened to the sea roll in. Back home in Florida, I sometimes have difficulty sleeping, but at the Rock House, the sound of the sea hushed me back to sleep so peacefully. It was no wonder that as the sun rose, I still felt refreshed enough to watch it come up over the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the window seat in our loft. Trust me, I'm not a morning person, but each morning I got myself up, watched the sunrise from this gorgeous view, and then went back to bed and snuggled with my wife. We walked the beach and were dazzled by sea anemones. We watched seals and sea otters from our porch. I'm 53 years old, and just a short drive from the resort, my wife and I saw what we agree was the most amazing sunset of our lives! This is the type of place you go to love life. We will be back. read more

Most amazing place to stay. Great hosts, cute accommodations, every detail attended to, phenomenal location. Doesn't get any better. We will definitely be back. read more

A favorite old saying of mine is "treat your family like friends and your friends like family." While I can't tell you exactly what that means(!), I know it when I see it, and I see it at Chito Beach Resort. Beautiful, unique, well appointed cabins in an unusually beautiful and rugged environment right on the beach are complemented by the welcoming climate established by the friendly and gracious hosts, Matt and Tamara. If relaxation in privacy is your jam, plenty of that, or come down to the fire pit in the evening and commune with other guests and staff. You can't go wrong at Chito Beach. We'll be back!! read more

I love this place! Great rooms, awesome owners and amazing views! Who could ask for more! Go, stay, relax and let the world melt away!!! read more

Chito Beach Resort - View from our own private porch in the captains cabin - Resorts Near Me - Sekiu, Washington

Chito Beach Resort is a jewel of a place for those wanting to immerse themselves in the wonders of the Salish Sea. As with the former owners, the current owners ensure it is a quiet, peaceful experience by limiting guests to ages 18+ and not allowing pets. The cabins are sparkling clean, fully equipped and literally right on the water with unobstructed views. Each have private porches and ready access to two beaches and wonderful tide pools. We stayed this time at the Lighthouse and previously at the Wolf Den and both of them give you the feel of living on the beach and their locations protect you more from the wind - they also each have a picnic table! They have nicely updated interiors and comfy beds, with ample room for everything you bring and plenty of privacy. Great location for access to hiking trails. read more

Quiet, secluded, beautiful. We stayed in the Castaway and we loved the beautiful and creative touches. The unobstructed and private view was amazing. The water just about comes up to the neck at high tide. We enjoyed our meals looking out at the water and got a morning whale sighting at breakfast! The owner was very nice and you can tell they take pride in their place. Only downsides: very strong dead seaweed ell at times and wifi is hit or miss. read more

Chito Beach Resort - Cloudy days but beautiful from Castaway deck. - Resorts Near Me - Sekiu, Washington

This property has new owners. So far my experience with them is that they are rude, unkind and aggressively insulting to children playing happily in a public place. There are lots of resorts in the area. I would choose one with a more friendly vibe. read more

If you're seeking serenity, beauty, and privacy Chito Beach has it all. The new owners are incredible and will allow you to have as much time to yourself as you'd like. They made sure our stay was comfortable and pointed out some fun things for us to do. I also love how the new owners are giving back to the community by making sure the area is preserved for future generations. Much of the Beach is privately owned so you feel like you're the only people in the world. I also loved that this an "adult only" resort which allowed us to truly unplug from the world. The beauty of this place will take your breath away! We saw great wildlife, and it's within minutes of Olympic National Park, and several other points of interest make this destination our new perfect getaway! read more

This place is fantastic! The owners are so sweet and helpful. My friend and I relaxed, went to Cape Flattery, Shi Shi Beach and Rialto Beach. We stayed in the castaway cabin which is very nice and has an incredible view. We saw so much wildlife including bald eagles catching salmon. I hope to get back there soon! read more

Stayed in the birdhouse over 4th of July. We loved everything about this place and didn't want to leave-- we even extended our stay and booked an extra night. Hope to return next summer! read more

We love Chito Beach Resort! We've stayed twice, and will definitely be back. The host & hostess are truly wonderful people, and were both helpful and responsive to our needs. It's a slice of heaven on the Strait! read more

My daughter and I stayed at Chito Beach Resort for 2 nights. The cabin was adorable, comfortable and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals, perfect. Our first experience at the resort was at check-in...I rang the bell and out comes the owner and her dog. The dog pops his head through a cut-out under the counter and was happy to greet us, she said he will likely pop over to the cabin for a pet or two. It was so cute! The owner has personality plus, awesome! The property is amazing, sunrise and sunset views. All of the cabins are right on the water with amazing views...it's very cool to see all of the action depending on the tide. We watched birds, chipmunks and eagles doing their thing all day long. I heard there was a momma and baby sea otter, but we didn't get a chance to see them. The resort is right on Hwy 112, and I was worried it would be busy/loud, but it wasn't at all, in fact in the evening I hardly saw anyone pass by. I could easily spend a week here...or just buy a cabin! Loved it! read more

Owners were rude. We paid $1600 for 9 adults for 4 nights. They didn't clean a lick our whole time there (that's 9 adults who ate 3 meals a day and went hiking, fishing, beach combing, etc.). We cleaned the best we could with the supplies provided, doing dishes and taking out our trash. But we all ate in the Rainforest Cabin and it was pouring rain half the time, and no one came through with a broom or vacuum. And after a couple days the owners CHANGED their policy and yelled at us... We were following their rules of no cleaning fish in the cabins, so we cleaned and filleted them on the dock, brought them back to our cabin and vacuum sealed them, then put them in the freezer. Apparently you can't bring fish into the cabin. Actually if you have seen a live fish you may have some something fishy about you and they will yell if there is a fish scale. Their new policy is that they hate fisher-people and anything fish related. The owner Ali sent my mom a mean email saying she lied to her about fish and charged a $100 cleaning fee. We weren't told fish couldn't even be brought into the cabin. read more

great upscale accommodations in a remote local. Great views friendly hosts reasonable prices.

Wonderful hosts and quality accommodations. One of those rare places that turn out better than you had imagined.

This was a charming place to stay. We stayed in the one bedroom cabin right on the water. The owner was overly friendly and the views were amazing. I would however skip over going to neah bay which is basically the closest town but felt creepy being there. While staying at chito beach we did make it down to forks which was a much better town and la push which offered a great beach and beautiful area to bring a picnic lunch to. Overall I would recommend chito beach resort for stays of at least 2 days. The cabins were nicely updated on the inside and very clean. read more
