    Ceiling fall?

    Update 9/20/2021 After trying to resolve the issues with the need to leave at 4:30 in the morning due to a lack of cleaning and resultant allergic reaction to animal dander... Received a $376 refund on a $733 stay. We could only stay in the room for 12 hours and yet had to pay for almost half. Please don't waste your time or money on this place.

    We stayed over this last weekend. I gave it three stars for the following pros and cons: PROS: Beautiful building and rooms Full kitchen (mostly stocked) Non smoking Hot tub in living room (also in cons) Easy check in Fireplace Comfortable and home feeling. Very large and lots of room. CONS: Dirty - As you can see in the pictures I was left with dirty sheets (obviously left after they stripped and remade the bed). I was immediately turned off and upset that during COVID they left another person's sheets in my room. Also in the pictures, there were dirty dishes left in the dish washer. Again NOT Happy about that at all. Hot Tub - The hot tubs lack of hot water. They left a note saying to help fill it up dont run anything and also make sure you turn on the cold to help fill the tub. Well I did what they said and it was filled about 1/4 of the way before the water got cold. It was the main reason I booked so I got creative and used the pans to boil hot water to make up the difference. The kitchen was stocked - however, again dirty. We had to wash the pots and pans and the flat grill before use as it was obvious that they had been used and not cleaned prior to being put it away. Their was a crock pot and kettle, both broken. They had about 6 pepper shakers but no salt. Thin Walls! - the children next to us where screaming and running around the first night. The people above us were having a party and we heard it all. Hard Bed - the bed is hard memory foam. I mean hard, my husband loved it, but it about killed me. Upkeep - while they have attempted to make everything modern, there are certainly alot of details that were missed. Trim. Paint, cracks, shower doors etc. When you update some things but leave others it is very noticeable. Update it all if your going to remodel. This wasn't meant to be a bad review. It is a nice place but your expectations should be adjusted. If you go in with an open mind you'll be pleased, but if your expecting perfection you'll be very unhappy. If it wasn't so Dirty it would have recieved 4 stars (honestly almost gave it a 2 because i was so disappointed in the house keeping or lack of especially during the pandemic).

    I stayed at the JAI years and years ago and thought it would be the perfect place for a romantic night away. Boy, was I right. We stayed upstairs in the Lexington. It's basically a mini apartment. The TV in the bedroom was large, but the living room TV is ginormous. They really take pride in making the rooms elegant, everything from the window treatments to the robes hanging next to the jacuzzi. This unit also had a private balcony and a wonderful view of the ocean. The attached picture was taken the morning right before we left. The inn was very quiet and it was as if we were the only visitors there. I would highly recommend this inn.

    Wow. Let me say it again, Wow! First, the people that help run this place, Amy is just outstanding, really made us feel at home and completely comfortable. She even brought up a baby crib when we forgot to pack ours. We stayed in the Bridal suite, no rooms to either side or on top of us. Huge room, with a large jet tub overlooking the Ocean. A large flatscreen HDTV sat above the fireplace, all controlled by remote control that controlled the music/dvd/digital music all through out the house. Bose equipment and soundsystems as well. The bedroom had a large king sized bed, with another flatscreen mounted above the two sliding doors. Terry cloth robes near the jettub, and bath and body works lotions/soaps in the bathroom made the whole atmosphere feel great. Will be back!

    BEWARE 1 star if there was zero stars that's what I would choose. My boyfriend rented the Abilene room 104 for my birthday surprise weekend that turned into a nightmare. Pictures here justifies how bad this rental condo is from the surface and outside it looked beautiful but that changed really fast! I was sold an ocean front and when I asked them what that meant they could not explain. Look at the pictures with all of the trees blocking the view that is why they could not explain. It was a WEED FRONT view! We could not even see the ocean. The patio door does not lock!!!We ended up packing our valuables every time we went out.we did not get much sleep because it was a safety issue! So needless to say what was the high point in renting this condo was the hot tub. I was super excited to use the hot tub but hundreds of bugs came out of jets when we turned it on! See the pictures! All of these concerns were addressed on day 1 of vacation! Sad to say nothing was done, they didn't even offer compensation or move us to another room. Obviously management does not care about our health, safety or security and still it has been since May 6, 2022 and no one has contacted us yet. Even on check out we spoke to Lindzie Theurer Local Operations Manager of Vacasa rentals and she assured us they would be doing a follow up and nothing yet! The highlight of our stay was my boyfriend had to stick his hands in the toilet to stop it from running because the toilet flusher was broken. Hair dryer and vents were full of dust! Patio deck leaks water from roof! You can't even sit out there. Sofa chair smells, stained, you sink in! Donation stores and thrift stores won't even accept this sofa chair! Just Filty! Broken blinds! There are other post similiar to ours on yelp from 10 months ago or longer which issues that Vacasa rentals are aware of that has not been fixed. Please everyone take your vacation stay elsewhere!!!! Please view all pictures it justifies all the concerns! Super disappointed!

    My Husband and I have chosen Judith Ann Inn as our place to stay in Ocean Shores for many years now, and have always had such an amazing experience. Well, until this past weekend that is! It is evident that they must have new management. We were quite disappointed before we even arrived in that when my Husband asked to reserve the Bridal Suite he was told that the owner didn't want it rented out as there "may be" something wrong with the jacuzzi. He was told that the only room available for the two nights would be the Abilene. We had stayed in the Abilene several years ago, so he went ahead with reserving it through the manager. When we arrived Saturday afternoon, the "vacancy" sign was out so he asked again if there were other rooms available and was told no, that she had forgotten to post the "no vacancy" sign. I myself thought it odd that it appeared only 4 rooms were being used that might and only as many cars in the parking lot. It was pretty evident the entire inn wasn't booked. The second night there were only 3 rooms being used .... so why had we been told there were no other rooms available but the Abilene ( which is the most dated suite in the Inn)? The room overall was clean with the exception of mildew/ pink mold being on the bottom of the shower curtain and the towels smelling old. The DVD player kept cutting off on us so we gave up on watching the end of our movie. There was only one travel sized bath gel, one shampoo and one conditioner for the two of us to use the whole weekend. The bath sink had no vanity so made putting on makeup or using a curling iron challenging. Bath really needs a makeover or a small cabinet by the sink. The mattress needs replaced. It has a topper but still isn't anywhere near as comfy as the New Orleans Suite. As for the main room, the jacuzzi was terribly loud and the robes were anything but soft and fluffy. In fact, they are the same ones we had in the Abilene all those years ago on our first ever visit to the JAI. The kitchen was well stocked but the dishwasher was the loudest I've ever heard! Needless to say, the place has really run down since we stayed in the spring! Lacking in the attention to detail we've come so accustomed to in all of our previous stays!

    Me and my wife stayed here for 3 nights in January and we had great weather !(room 202) I loved hearing the frogs and ocean at night. The view was awesome the full kitchen was nice ,the pull out bed for our daughter was fine (not suitable for adults) Over all we very satisfied with our stay but I wanna mention a few things that could have been better . The decor- im pretty sure it was designed by someones grandmother in the 70s lol ! Get rid of the dusty plastic flowers on the table and maybe the others too. The robes - Smelled like they had been in a box for a decade,stained and rough to the touch we did not even bother to try them on. The towels- old and tattered ,faded and not appealing to look at. The spares in the closet were way nicer. The kitchen- the front big burner was non operable. The toaster was not the best and the knob kept falling off. The bathroom-the toilet rocked when you sat on it. The couch- this thing needs to be replaced its beyond uncomfortable for sitting/ sleeping and was very discolored and stained. The bed-(upgrade the mattress to foam please) The mattress is very firm and springy every time one of us moved it was like being on a carnival ride neither one of us got a very good nights sleep. Also the bed room is right next to the main walk way(nothing you can do about thatI guess) and we like the window open a crack for fresh air and the plastic walk ways are very noisy.Also a couple light bulbs were burnt out in various places . We run a bed and breakfast in Seattle so im sure im being very knit picky about a lot of these things but its lists like this that we pride ourselves in taking care of . The cost of the few things we did find wrong would be nominal for what you would get back in customer feed back. I do wanna mention that the unit was clean and we appreciate that as we take great pride in cleaning our units. OVERALL - We had a great time in Ocean shores building sand castles, driving on the beach (did a few doughnuts in the sand) Flying kites,bird watching ! All this being said I WOULD recommend staying here! Also (I hope im getting her name right) Hanna was VERY nice upon arrival . Check in was pleasant and welcoming. Thank you !

    Nasty stained couch.

Water a couple of times wasn't hot in the shower. Also, I felt there were too many rules - a little more slack would be great. (e.g. no late checkouts and a charge if not out on time) Great weather for us too for beginning of April. The Jetty point is a great place to check out at low tide. Check out videos of the Sparlings (birds) back and forth with the waves. Thanks for the nice stay.

Why did we not stay here sooner? From now on Canterbury Inn will be our GO TO place for future stays. We had a studio on the 3rd floor at a very reasonable winter rate. The room was spectacular, as nice as any stateroom we've had on our 6 cruises on Holland America; so naturally we were very comfortable. The room had everything we would need and more; clean and comfortable. Don't even get me started on how comfortable the bed is. I could have spent my entire getaway in that bed had it not been for the beautiful weather. Every staff member I met was friendly and helpful. There is a smoking area in the front and rear of the building. Dogs are allowed, but we didn't bring ours on this trip. I cannot say enough how fabulous this place is. Thank you Canterbury staff for a wonderful stay and we'll see you again soon. :) Beverly S Petterson

The atmosphere had a subtle coziness, but the Airbnb photos made it look much more updated, renovated, and inviting than it actually was. When we arrived, it was clear the chalet was dated. For the price per night, we expected more. Right away we noticed cobwebs on the walls and ceilings, heavy dust throughout, and even dust bunnies under the main bed. The fridge was also incredibly loud--sounding like a jet engine switching on and off all night. Other issues stood out: * Towels were limited, and the ones provided had hair in them. * The bathroom faucet's water pressure sprayed everywhere, forcing us to use our already-limited towels just to clean up. * The blinds couldn't be pulled open because of old, crusted bird droppings on the outside. We understand this is the ocean, but these clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time. * The mattresses were by far the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on--making it difficult to get any real rest. What made things more frustrating was their very strict check-in and check-out policy, which they explained was due to their cleaning crew's schedule. Normally, that would make sense, but given the lack of cleanliness we experienced, it made their "no exceptions" stance confusing. That being said, I did appreciate a few things. They were upfront in the listing about the steps leading up to the second floor, and they weren't exaggerating--they really are steep, so it was good to know ahead of time. I also appreciated some of the amenities inside the chalet, which made parts of the stay more comfortable. The chalet itself has good bones and could be a great place with better upkeep--thorough cleaning, fresher linens, updated mattresses, and a little extra care inside and out. As it stands, though, it doesn't live up to its price point. I'd be hesitant to recommend this spot without those updates and at this point would suggest checking out other options in Ocean Shores first.

But we did it through a third party and were way over charged in the first place, so we basically got the room we paid for anyways. But again they didn't haven't to so 3 stars. The second reason would be the breakfast staff never once stopped moving. They continually refreshed the breakfast area when anything was out. We never had to wait long for a refill, and we never went without something just because we got there later. Really appreciated that! But the pool light kept popping out and so it felt unsafe for the kids to swim. That was a major bummer. But on a good end, the pool was super warm and the hot tub was almost too hot! Which I can appreciate. Overall the lobby was nice but the halls and rooms were just a little dirty. Everything felt a little stick and the carpet was just kind of yucky. The elevator hasn't been inspected in a while (literally their inspection is past due on the form in the elevator) so just a little run down in general. Staff rarely seemed happy or greeting. Even when we called down they sounded annoyed to be bothered. We probably won't stay again, but it could have been worse too haha.

Pacific Sunrise Inn & Suites seemed like a great spot and was offering a great deal for a weekend that worked for us. We arrived close to 10 minutes before their check in time and were told that our room was ready for us as we were exhausted from a three hour drive. At the front desk, they do have some chocolate mints for humans and milk bone treats for pets to enjoy. They do have a pet fee per pet but it was fair pricing as they have a pretty simple pet policy. I also appreciate that they are a completely non-smoking spot. The staff there were very professional and pleasant to speak with and they were more than happy to ensure our stay went perfectly. As we entered our room, we were content with the cleanliness of our room and the different amenities. The TV was a little strange to use but after we figured it out, there was no issues. There was a microwave, mini fridge, and a coffee maker which was nice. They also do provide small pastries and coffee from 7:30 to 9am. We did not get to check out the pool unfortunately as we only stayed for one night but we do recommend and hope to stay here whenever we decide to come back to Ocean Shores!

It's practically shredded & you can barely read it. Took over an hour to get the tv working & when I asked for help at the front desk I was told "none of them work right. It's a known problem." I finally managed to switch the HDMI cable to another port to get something. When I went down to the hot tub the first guest I encountered asked me if my tv worked! I said "nope! It's a known problem!" The jets on the hot tub also didn't work, so we were just sitting in a bath tub basically. There's a Keurig in the room, but you only get one coffee pod to share. I went to ask for another tiny bar of soap since we used ours up, but they were out. They were also out of shampoo, so we had to use the shower gel for everything. The shower curtain is hung so that it barely touches the top of the tub, so water runs all over the floor when you shower. You can tell this has been an ongoing problem because the door jam is completely rusted. When I went to ask for more towels do soak up all the water on the floor, there were two other guests complaining about the same issue in their rooms. Seems like that would be an easy enough fix that could save some major repairs later..... The cherry on top was finding someone's vape pen in my bed.!!!! Hoping it belonged to the housekeeper who changed my sheets?! It was between the comforter & the duvet so that's what I'm telling myself..... that was a first for me.
