Comfy Home near the Ocean, Great for Family fun Welcome to the newly renovated Agate House. Although it has been a fan favorite rental for a decade, the owners have recently updated the interior throughout. It's an ideal vacation getaway for your family and friends. ABOUT THE AGATE HOUSE Located close to one of the secret canals in Ocean Shores, this home is named for nearby Agate Beach and Oyhut Bay Resort. It's also close to the Ocean Shores Marina where you can see fishermen returning home with their daily catch. (Or bring your boat and drop a line yourself.) These owners are not novices to offering their house to visitors and have spared no expense in their recent renovation, outfitting it with just about everything anyone could ever want, including kitchen with new appliances, pots and pans, tableware and plenty of room to cook. "Having visited many of the rentals in town, I would tell everyone this is where you bring your family to relax and enjoy a perfect base to explore all of the North Beaches." - Tonya Three bedrooms to sleep up to 8 people in comfort and privacy. The master bedroom hosts two queen-sized beds. The second bedroom has three twins, and the third has yet another queen bed. If you need space for just a couple more folks, the living room has a comfortable sleeper sofa that can accommodate them. Your family will likely spend most of their time in the fenced backyard with its huge patio and bubbling clean hot tub. For evening fun there's a safe fire pit where you can roast hot dogs and marshmallows or just tell stories. Maybe you would prefer to sit at the patio tables playing cards? There is a barbecue to cook - if you like - morning, noon, and night. The area is partially covered so it can still be a gathering spot even on a mystical foggy ocean evening. The home has an open floor plan arrangement making it a perfect place to spend time together (check out the floor plan on this website). There are lots of big windows providing natural light year round. The living room has a large flat screen smart television, with cable TV and fast internet too. There is also a gas fireplace and comfy furnishings. The dining room table seats eight people and is adjacent to the kitchen. The kitchen features a counter for seating and chatting with the chef in your group. MORE ABOUT AGATE HOUSE You will find clean contemporary bathrooms with plenty of towels and a washer-dryer and handy laundry room if you need it. The home is on the south end of the Ocean Shores peninsula, just a short drive to our long sandy beaches for horse back riding, flying a kite, or just jumping the waves. It is also an easy drive to the main shopping area with shops and activities. From there you can drive further north to the Quinault Casino, Copalis Beach, Moclips, and Pacific Beach. There is parking for two cars and even a place to park your fishing boat. (Sorry, travel trailers or RVs cannot be accommodated). Dogs are welcome with a standard per dog, per night fee.
