From the moment we stepped into the starboard cottage, we felt at home as it was so cozy, peaceful and their attention to details were truly mind blowing. A place far away from city life to enjoy with your family and friends. We will surely visit again. Oh and the amazing personal hot tub with the oceanview was to die for. Loved it. Note: basic breakfast items are provided, major restaurants and groceries are in Sooke which is 30 mins drive from Shirley, so you can bring your own groceries etc beforehand for convenience, fully equipped kitchen with bbq available.

I would like to give this place 6 stars to bump up their rating. I would recommend this place to all visitors especially after a cool walk atbtge Whiffin Spit! 6 stars!

We booked a balcony and it was gorgeous. The resort itself was beautiful. The decor was on point, everything looked clean and new. I used the pool and gym, both were great.

The room was clean and very spacious especially the bathroom. Great location, was able to explore the coast also Victoria. Overall, it was a great stay. We would stay here again.

We already knew no wifi/cell service but don't care! We went to be off grid and reset. The weather cooperated with our plan by raining steadily and mama nature treated us with some gorgeous powerful waves to watch from the hottub on our deck. We used up our firewood and utilized our kitchen with some pre-made entrees from Hob Fine Foods-so barely cooked! Love it there so much we decided on a week next time.

We stayed here for four nights with friends (we were 2 couples) in the Cabin A Glacier Loft. It has…read moreone quiet bedroom on the ground floor and a bright spacious loft up some open stairs. There is a small kitchen that had everything we needed and a cozy livingroom with a beautiful view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. There are Adirondack chairs on the deck and a 4 person hot tub that we enjoyed every day. The picture on the website of this cabin shows different furniture and a pretty fireplace with a mantel. Unfortunately they have a couple worn leather chairs with cracked leather arms and the couch is a hide-a-bed with cushions that were hard to keep in place. They kept working their way out and over the edge of the couch. What I was sad about was they have had to change the fireplace to bring it up to code. Instead of keeping the rustic feel with stone and a pretty mantle, they put up a couple bit shiny pieces of metal and screwed it in. They didn't use long enough screws and it is pulling away from the fireboard behind. It looks like a cheap fix and doesn't fit with the rustic cabin feel. We did enjoy having a fire, however, and they replenished our wood supply, including kindling and paper every day. We were there for a birthday and would have loved to eat at the restaurant there but the menu didn't appeal to us enough to pay the high price of a meal. We loved walking private guest only paths on the property that lead to a beach with a shelter with fireplace and chairs. Another leads over a pretty red bridge that leads to rocks overlooking the wild surf. We were there early May and loved enjoying the flora waking up in the spring. There are a few references to the staff being rude so we decided to tread lightly. Nobody was rude but there was definitely one woman who was curt. The staff in general lacked warmth and were not overly welcoming. But we didn't have any issues that needed addressing. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would go back.

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.

To refresh, reset and get our bearings. If you want to stay in what my husband and I can only describe as the most peaceful, beautiful, spiritual and breath taking view, we highly encourage you to visit the Quillayute River Resort. We fell in love with our room at the end of the inn. Then we met the Keen's and engaged in conversation with the sweetest kindest people you ever want to know. We finally sold our lake property in Sequim, WA and moved to Europe for retirement. But I will never forget what a wonderful experience we had at this resort, and highly encourage anyone looking for a lifetime memory to book a stay. Ellen and Jerzy Korski

These cabins and resort are perfect for quiet getaway from the cities hustle and bustle. Pure Heaven. Loved the people, the ease to walk out of cabin straight to beach, starry nights and the smell of the huge cedars. The sunsets are amazing, the birds are beauty singing every morning. I will be back every year. In fact sooner than a year if I can find vacancy. The staff was wonderful. We accidently left somethings and were contacted immediately to pick them up. Thank goodness we were still on the island. Thanks Beach Haven for the rest.

My wife and I stayed 2 nights at Snug Harbor Resort while visiting Friday Harbor…read more We reserved a one-bedroom waterfront cabin seamlessly online. Our total cost was $607.19. Check-in was done at the lobby. At the lobby one will also find a store and a coffee shop. Complimentary movies and games can also be checked out at the lobby to enjoy back at your lodging. The store offers a little bit of everything, from clothing to snacks. Complimentary ice machines are available. Bagged ice can be purchased though. Lower-level parking is limited and was completely full in the evenings. We were lucky enough to get a parking spot every time we returned from playing. Wheel barrel type carts located at the gate make transporting luggage effortless to rooms. Adirondack chairs are scattered about the edge of the property to enjoy sipping a beverage, reading or admiring the view. A fire-pit, community BBQ, picnic area and kids play area help pass the time while on-site. The paly area is at the lobby end for those who do not wish to have quarters near noise. The cabin we were given was number 10, a handicap unit. The very first cabin upon entrance and the furthest from the lobby and play area. Our cabin was clean and well equipped. Snug Harbor provided us the peace that we were seeking at the time. My one suggestion would be to offer fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the lobby to establish a more personal touch.
