Wonderful Place to Relax

Happy Vacationer (Kirkland, WA)
Review submitted: October 6, 2012   Date of arrival: September 30, 2012

My husband and I absolutely LOVE coming to Western Downs. It is a relaxing little place right outside of Long Beach and we are never disappointed. The sound of the ocean puts me in my little "Zen" place, and when the surf comes in, you can see the huge waves coming in. At night, if you are an astronomy geek like I am, you can see what planets are out, the constellations and even the Milky Way. All with the sound of the ocean de-stressing you.

I sincerely cannot say enough good things about Western Downs. My husband and I wouldn't have come back here, I believe, 12, times now. We absolutely love the home, the view, the quiet (aside from the ocean) and the winter storms are something you HAVE to experience.

Take a chance and enjoy this clean little home right outside of Long Beach (and I mean about 1/2 mile) and have fun with this little town that isn't a "Tourist Trap": it's a fun city, with fun shops and this is what brings hubby and me back.

In a nutshell, Western Downs is a very nice place to stay. :-)

Recommended for: adventure seekers, girls getaway, romantic getaway

Owners response: Thank you. It's always SUCH a pleasure to have you come. I know what you mean about the sound of the surf - you can actually feel the stress falling away. When I first moved here, it took me a month to get off my couch =). We LOVE our return guests -

A long way from the beach

Annie (Bothell, WA)
Review submitted: September 13, 2012   Date of arrival: July 26, 2012

The home is well-furnished and accommodating for two or three people, but the advertised ocean view is almost non-existent. The Western Downs is set far back on grassy, shrub-covered dunes, and only if the weather is clear will you see a slight strip of ocean in the distance. We did enjoy watching the deer from the deck, but that wasn't what we'd come to Long Beach for.

Owners response: The Western Downs is an oceanfront property. The western boundary line is 'mean high tide'. There are 4 acres of grassy dunes between the house and the beach. The dunes are protected and provide a home for much of the wildlife here, including deer, black bear, coyotes, elk, numerous birds and more. The building lines vary from lot to lot. The view of the ocean changes each year as the dunes conform to the wind and the waves. Homeowners are only allowed to trim the trees to maintain their view of the water. There is a private path through the dunes to the beach. It's about a 10 minute walk to an uncrowded section of our beautiful sandy beach. The ocean is visible from the house, especially on clear, sunny days. The beach, however, is not visible from most houses here and, in turn, most houses are not visible from the beach. During the winter Dungeness Crab season the horizon is often dotted by local crab boats, even working through the night with their bright sodium lights shining. Unfortunately, it is a natural event that our summer weather creates fog on the beach, especially when there is extreme heat inland. When this happens, the water view is pretty non-existent - even right on the beach.

Great Place !!!!

susan (yakima, wa)
Review submitted: June 14, 2012   Date of arrival: February 16, 2012

This was our first time using a Home Rental. Nothing could of been better ! Extremely clean, very comfortable ! I thought with out cable we would go CRAZY in the evening. Nothing could be further from the truth. My husband and I TALKED, watched old movies, and just RELAXED, Very quiet! Only a few minutes to Long Beach, which is a nice drive. So much to do in the area, and such a nice place to come "home to". We go to Long Beach every February, for my birthday, and this will be the place we stay from now on.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you as guests. The Western Downs does have quite a large and varied selection of great movies for your entertainment. There's also an almost endless list of activities in the Long Beach area for families of all sizes. Our primary goal is to make sure you take home good memories! We take great pride in our cleanliness and your comfort is important to us, as well. We look forward to your next visit - our return guests are highly valued!
