Right On the Beach! Hot Tub, Pet-friendly, Fireplace, WiFi, Best of NW Escapes!

*Right On the Beach! In-deck Hot Tub, Pet-friendly, Fireplace, WiFi, BBQ, Best of NW Escapes!*
Welcome to Sand Castlemore – the perfect escape to the Seascape of the Pacific Northwest. Just 16 steps from the sand, this beachfront luxury home has been nominated King 5 & Evening Magazine Best of Western Washington Northwest Escapes--Best Getaways. Our beautiful, custom-built, Lindal Cedar (beachfront) home is slightly more than a 2 hour drive from the Seattle/Tacoma or Portland areas. Located on Sunset Beach in Moclips, Washington it is an easy drive north of Ocean Shores. The home's seashore setting, glorious unobstructed panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, decadent accommodations, and magical charm make it the perfect vacation destination for families, friends, romantic getaways, and for a sea escape from the 'real world.'

Make no mistake, SAND CASTLEMORE IS JUST STEPS FROM THE SAND -- not like homes on the bluff requiring a serious hike to the beach or a drive in the car, and not like homes to the south sitting a mile or more back from the sand’s edge -- but rather, Sand Castlemore requires only 16 easy steps from the homes deck, down a private staircase, to the sea grass below. Imagine spending the entire day on the beach but only having a quick trip up your very own stairs to grab a beach towel, some food and drink, or to meet a restroom need. This can be especially handy with children or older folk who may tire more easily. This home has unmatched privacy--there are no homes on the beach to the south as far as the eye can see. This is especially convenient when enjoying the private hot tub.

This part of the Washington Coast features a beautiful high bluff with windswept trees, and the tranquil, unspoiled beaches below. Perhaps more surprising, it features the expansive Olympic wilderness that is famous for its BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS. Several of the most “well-known and documented” sightings have been only a few miles from our home. We won’t tell if we’ve seen Bigfoot ourselves!

There are several of the best steelhead and salmon rivers in the whole Pacific Northwest within a 30 minute drive. Lake Quinault is a 20 minute drive east. The Hoh River rain forest and the Olympic National Park are a short distance away.

This gorgeous 3 bedroom, 2 bath home can accommodate up to 8 guests and offers unmatched seaside quality throughout.

The perfect getaway!

We loved our stay at this beach house! We have two kids, 5 and 20 months, and being directly on the beach was so magical (and ideal). We failed to realize that the bedroom with the single beds was actually an open loft, so keep that in mind if kids will be sleeping there and going to bed much earlier than you, but it ended up not being a huge issue thanks to our sound machine! The kitchen is great and super stocked with the basics including ground coffee. Seabrook is a 5 minute drive down the road and we loved spending a couple hours there every afternoon before heading back home for dinner and more playing on the beach. The hosts were lovely and we would definitely stay here again!

Annual Family visit

We had an amazing time! From fighting off pirates with my grandson, to daily walks on the beach. To searching for sand dollars. We spent a lot of family time playing games and enjoying the beautiful view, sounds and location as well as sunsets in the hot tub. I Look forward to my next visit back. This house has literally everything you can think of. The host though of every detail and are also very responsive. Thank you again!

We flew from Ohio to Seattle, and after five days of intense, hiking and travel through Mt Rainier and Olympic National Parks, we needed a serene place to land. This beach house was exactly that- peaceful, cozy and perfectly located. It gave us the rest and reset we were looking for. A true gem by the water! We all would return in a heartbeat!

We had a great memorial weekend stay!

We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket from Dann and Di! Such a nice touch. Kitchen was large and had everything you needed for your stay. The bathrooms had lovely fluffy towels, and bedding was also nice. Lots of extra blankets and such for the cooler evenings. We loved the variety of games to play as well. Would have loved a coffee table or something to be able to do one of the puzzles that didn’t interfere with meal times.Also, thought the 3rd bedroom was an actual bedroom, didn’t quite understand that it’s an open loft. All in all, it was a lovely stay. We also lucked out with the weather and kids/adults and dog all enjoyed lots of time at the beach!

Sandcastlemore is a terrific place!

We come to this area every spring to celebrate my partners birthday and this is the nicest place we've stayed to date. We were a party of 7 adults and a dog.1. The kitchen not only beautiful but by far the best stocked I've seen in a short term rental. Even the knives were sharp. I always bring a sharpener with me but did not need it everything you need is there.2. Sitting in the hot tub and watching the ocean sunset after long walks is fantastic.3. The upstairs lot 2 single beds 1 pull out is geared more towards kids but worked fine for us. Overall fantastic place! Definitely would stay again.
