WE LOVED IT HERE! They are old cottages that have been 'lovingly' renovated with modern fixtures. VERY clean with everything you want in a room: coffee maker, fridge, microwave. The first Monday of the month is a tsunami siren test (ask me how we found out). It's reasonable, close to Long Beach with it's various stores and restaurants and RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the Seaview Biscuit Company! I have a separate review for that, and YES, you have to try it! The Seaview Cottages is a popular place and because of that, we had two different rooms during our three day stay. One night with double queen beds, and two nights with a king bed. So make your reservations early! If we are ever in this area again, THIS is the place where we want to stay! It made me one GLAAAD SISTER! :D

My girlfriend and I stayed here recently for the Kite Festival. There wasn't too much information…read moreabout them online, but it looked like a nice place to stay. It was wonderful. The owners Shelia and Peg are sweet and accommodating, and they make delicious breakfasts and cookies. They have beautiful, quirky, cozy rooms that quickly feel like home rather than a hotel room, and ours had a very comfortable bed and nice shower. If you are looking for a truly "bed and breakfast" experience -- chatting with the owners, sitting around a breakfast table eating home-cooked breakfasts and meeting other guests -- I highly recommend A Rendezvous Place. They have an email address and a phone number posted on their site, but they are best over the phone. If you are planning on staying here (or anywhere) in Long Beach during a holiday or festival weekend, book early! I called a few months in advance and barely got a spot...

We arrived at 5ish and the nice woman with the broken foot checked us in. That was all pretty smooth. It is close to the ocean. Parking is fine.

There is a restaurant on site that serves beer, paninis, and flatbreads, along with other bar type snacks. The rooms are well appointed with a tv,microwave,fridge,fireplace. No a/c but we didn't need it. Beds have piles of fluffy pillows. There was a coffee maker,coffee and tea, toiletries, and plenty of fresh towels. In the morning there is free breakfast so we grabbed juice, yogurt, and honey buns. There was also fruit, hardboiled eggs, some other simple things to eat This was a very good place to stay.

You're close to the ocean, surrounded by trees, and there's this constant sense of spaciousness that lets your mind open up. It creates the perfect conditions for artists to think, feel, and make work. What makes Arts Week truly special, though, is the people. The group of artists is diverse, thoughtful, and deeply engaged. You're in conversation all day long, whether that's over shared meals, spontaneous collaborations, or late night talks that somehow become the most meaningful part of the experience. It's rare to find a space where people show up this open and this willing to connect. The programming strikes a great balance. There's structure when you want it, like readings, performances, and workshops, but also plenty of unstructured time to follow your own creative instincts. There's also a real sense of care built into the week. The staff and organizers are thoughtful and attentive, and you can feel that they want everyone there to succeed!

The property feels like a retreat with a lovely atmosphere that feels a world apart from Long Beach despite being so close in proximity to town. We didn't have time to make full use of the pool, sauna, or pickleball courts - but these amenities would be perfect for a rainy day at the coast and when we come back we'll make more time in our schedule to use them. Check-in/check-out was a breeze and staff was very pleasant. They let me borrow a lighter for a birthday cake which was much appreciated! The walk to the beach is very scenic and beautiful in itself. Highly recommend this resort!

Prior to this visit, the rooms were fairly basic, but very adequate. Today, we arrived to find a beautifully updated room, that feels much bigger and much cleaner than they previously were. We have new appliances, new countertop and backsplash, new floors, a larger couch, a huge king bed, a walk-in shower with a new vanity, and everything is just stunning. Very well done! From the bottom units, you have a small deck with a bench, and upper units have a balcony. All rooms overlook the dunes, and the higher ones can catch you a glimpse of the ocean. You spend the evening listening to the roar of the waves. It's so relaxing. In the main office area, you'll find a recreation room, vending machines, and espresso stand with good coffee, and a huge saline pool that's in a solarium type of building. Their fitness center is small but it's something. They love dogs, and it shows. You'll get a welcome pack for your mutt, and there's a lighthouse themed dog house in the parking lot that you can take pictures of your dog with. There's two TVs - you can stream from your device in the bedroom, or watch cable in the living room. You'll have a gas fireplace, a lounge chair, a couch that folds out into a bed with a nice, squishy mattress, and a two person dining table. The staff here have been here a long time, and it's always nice to see a familiar face when we arrive. Shout out to Kevin! Always friendly and helpful. It's about a five minute drive to downtown Long Beach, where you'll find a bakery, an arcade, and lots of shops and restaurants. Don't forget you can even drive on the beach! You'll love it here.

We got there about 25 minutes before check in which was no problem. The two ladies working there at the time were both very nice and accommodating. We got to our room and I loved it. The stained glass, antique furniture and fixtures were fascinating to look at. The grounds were very pretty, lots of beautiful plants in bloom. There was booklet in the room speaking of the history being it's the oldest consistantly running hotel in Washington state. It even went in depth about spirits that have some presence but sadly I did not see one. The bed was comfortable, the towels were soft and fresh and parking was a breeze. The reason I am giving 4/5 stars is because the lighting, although pretty..I just couldn't see! Putting my makeup on in the morning was a challenge. The walls are very thin which I understand, it's old! They provided ear plugs on the bedside tables but I can't sleep with those in my ears. Lastly, it took awhile to get used to the smell. Again it's old, it smelled old. But it doesn't have to? There are some sleek antique looking air fresheners out there in the world that could really help out a lot. All in all it was a nice place to stay. If we go back again, we would stay here.
