'The Little Orca's'- Short Walk to the Beach!

Discover a beach getaway where you can listen to the roar of the Pacific Ocean! The Little Orca's Place is a cute home located just across the street from the beach, very near the public access to the clam digging beach in Moclips - a short walk to the sand! Perfect for small families or couples, this vacation rental house has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and sleeps up to 5 people. On the Moclips River, this peaceful town is the perfect destination for a romantic or restful getaway!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Twin/Full Bunk Bed

Much of this home has been updated and newly furnished, and comes equipped with a full-size kitchen, including a refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, toaster, and dishwasher.

The main bedroom features a queen-sized, pillow-top mattress and the second bedroom includes twin-over-full-sized, memory foam-top mattresses.

Ocean-themed decor frames the cozy living room - perfect for downtime! You'll also have complimentary access to the WiFi if you need to do some work while you're on vacation.

Your picturesque seaside escape awaits in this cozy cottage, just steps from the beach. You can hear the sounds of the ocean from the home, creating a peaceful environment for you and your friends/family!

-- THE LOCATION --

Moclips is an ideal base for exploring the spectacular west coast of the Olympic Peninsula. Lake Quinault is a short 30-40 minute drive away, and the scenic beaches of the Olympic National Park lie north of there. Pacific Beach, Seabrook, and Ocean Shores are nearby as well.

Spend a day outdoors enjoying the incredible natural scenes surrounding you. Explore Pacific Beach State Park or the numerous nearby parks with trails that are perfect for hiking or running. You can also go kayaking along the Moclips River or enjoy an afternoon stroll along the beach.

Access your inner child and fly a kite or build a sand castle at the beach. During the fall, winter, and spring seasons, you can dig for clams,= or fish in the surf. In the winter, bald eagles are a common sight.

On the rainy or colder months, you can explore the Sandphifer Gallery. The museum of North Beach is another place to wander through. There are beachside restaurants between Moclips and Ocean Shores and fine dining can be had at the nearby Ocean Crest Resort.

Great location but a few issues
Needs updating. Had trouble with the electrical on our last night. Part of house outlets and lights were dimming then getting bright. Turned them off. Went to turn on and they were completely off but only certain lights and outlets didn’t work. About a half hour later the ones that were out came back on all at once. Didn’t feel comfortable staying the last night because of the electrical. Roku said not connected to the internet whenever we tried using it. It did have all the necessities and was in a very good location. The owners responded to our texts.

So close to the path to the beach!
We had a great stay, the location is a very short walk to the path to the beach. There is construction across the street, so the view is affected, but there was no noise. The house is quaint and a happy space in need of a few repairs but an overall fun place to relax after a day at the ocean or exploring the fantastic tide pools an hour or so north.

A Pleasant Ocean Getaway
My family had stayed at Little Orca's Place a few years ago. When we decided to take another weekend excursion to the ocean, we knew we wanted to stay at the property again. The property offers great access to the beach and an easy drive to Ocean Shores, Pacific Beach, and other nearby spots. Moclips made for a cozy and relatively quiet locale to stay along the coast. With its well-equipped kitchen, we had most everything we needed to prepare our meals. And we could relax in the living room if we needed to put our feet up after walking around town or the beach. After a couple of stays at Little Orca's Place, we recommend it to anyone looking to spend a stretch of time right off the ocean.

Not a nice place
This property needs work. It was not inviting at all. Sub floors are scary. Back door doesn't work and was blocked. Windows were filthy! Carpets in the bathroom weren't clean. I could go on. The location was great. Wr would not recommend this property.

Needs updating
This property is exactly as represented but really needs updating. It was clean, well equipped, but the first impression was one of neglect. The yard was completely overgrown with weeds. Once inside it was quite pleasant, if a little worn. The beds are very comfortable. There is everything you need in the kitchen. Really nothing to complain about, but also nothing special.

Classic little beach cabin
Simple, cozy little two bedroom house on a dead end street, 5 minutes walk to the beach. It was quiet and we fell asleep to the sounds of the waves. We went to the beach at least 3 to 4 times a day, what a luxury. Easy touchless check-in and check out. No lengthy check out procedure, just neaten things up and take out the garbage. The house is furnished like a beach house with beach themed decor, adequate cookware for simple meals, a washer and dryer that works, ample towels, and shampoo conditioner etc all provided. One evening it was pretty cold and the cabin's heating system worked fast. We sat at the kitchen table doing a puzzle and listening to the wind outside. My sister and I loved our stay here. We were hoping for an unpretentious, classic beach cabin vacation with our two dogs. This was exactly what we found and we will be staying here again.

Nice little house
Some of the other reviews make valid points but some are exaggerated. It's a small house and it's older and needs updates however this seems to be more noticeable b/c there are new properties on both sides. The rate is good considering the house across the street of same size is twice as much. I'm a budget traveler so this place was great and SO CLOSE to the beach. Perfect for a small family. If you prefer the Hilton this is not for you but if you're a humble family looking to get as close to the beach for as inexpensive as possible this place is perfect. We had a great time.

Great for a couple of days
Mostly positive about this property! It's certainly not a new property, but it was clean and had a fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed for a few days! The bed was reasonably comfortable and it was in such a quiet area, it was so peaceful. It was just a couple minutes walk to an almost deserted beach, which was such a relief compared to the busyness you would find in Ocean Shores. If you want peace and solitude, this is absolutely the place to be. Ocean Shores is just a 30 minute drive away if you want to go out to eat or needed to shop. Probably my only complaint was that the yard was in serious need of a mow and a trim - It just made the outside of the property look a little rundown. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

The outside looks humble, but the inside is as cozy and charming as pictured. We had a great time. There are signs of wear and tear as it is an older and unremodeled property, but it's warm and comfortable and charmingly decorated. The kitchen is well stocked for making meals. I never met our hosts, but they were in contact via text and phone and I felt well taken care of. No view of the ocean from the house, but at the end of the street there is access to the dunes. I would book again if in the area.

Great getaway
Property is as advertised. Cozy 2 bd 1 ba on a quiet deadend road. Ocean view with short walk to Beach. Nothing fancy but very comfortable. Kitchen is very well stocked, better than many we have been in. Close enough to Ocean Shores but also a good R & R area. Convenient little store with great deli just up the road and can also recommend the Seagate restaurant on 109. Will rent again if we have the chance.

We enjoyed a very peaceful visit at the "Little Orcas"
We enjoyed a very peaceful visit at the "Little Orcas". It was a good unit with everything at our disposal. We did not give it a 5 though. Here are some things we think need to be addressed: There were no tv instructions. The key to the unit was hard to get out. I would suggest a new doorknob. We are elderly, so the unit needs to have a hand rail at the entry and one in the shower. Thanks a lot providing us with a place to stay during these very unusual times. The privacy afforded that. And it IS very close to the beach.
