Tide Pool Cabin, a Soquinomere Private Hotel on the Dunes, Downtown Ocean Shores

Summary:
This is the new Ocean Shores. We are Soquinomere.

Forget what you know about visiting the Washington Coast and stay at the Tide Pool Cabin, a Soquinomere Private Hotel on the dunes in downtown Ocean Shores. In its heyday Ocean Shores was called the “Richest little city” and was a destination for the wealthy and famous. This house was one of the first ever built in Ocean Shores in 1960 and has seen it all. Before Ocean Shores was founded, the area was home to fishermen, canneries and Native American tribes. This fusion of culture is celebrated in a contemporary upscale way throughout the design.

SOQUINOMERE PRIVATE HOTELS
We believe that when you want to get away, you want to escape the ordinary. Our ordinary is extraordinary. The natural landscape and culture of our destinations provides inspiration for our rich tapestry of colors, materials and textures woven together in stunning ways. We take cues from our beautiful surroundings and local cultures to create unique, authentic stays that are miles away from generic. Soquinomere Private Hotels both energize and relax simultaneously — just as nature does. Even though our properties are in beautiful locations, we’ve created spaces you won’t want to leave — where the time spent indoors will rival the time out exploring.

And it’s not just the architectural design that stands apart. Our beds are pillow-top memory foam with high-quality triple sheeting. Our towels and bathrobes are plush and we provide a large assortment of complimentary amenities to enhance your stay. As we like to say, “we are beyond hotels.”

Like the diversity of nature, our team comes from all backgrounds and uses this variety of experiences to set us apart. We genuinely care about your experience and it shows in how we deliver exceptional hospitality. We all — from housekeepers to designers — work tirelessly every day to make sure everything is perfect before during and after your stay.

We curate every detail of the hotel experience to delight your senses and ensure you will have the perfect backdrop to live your best life — making priceless memories that will last a lifetime. Our dream is to become your family’s home-away-from-home for generations to come.

We invite you to stay with us. Here’s to your extraordinary getaway.

The Space:
The house is primarily on the ground level, with a small secondary living room and balcony on the second floor.

The kitchen features a large farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances and all the dishes, silverware, glassware, utensils and other equipment.

The dining room has space for six at the table with a shimmering capiz chandelier overhead.

The living room has an old-fashioned wood-burning fireplace, a 70” 4K TV and a large custom sofa that seats seven. The living room continues upstairs to the second floor living room and balcony overlooking the yard and sand dunes. The upstairs has a chaise lounge, corner chair and a sofa that pulls out into a full size bed.

The front porch has an outdoor sitting area with hanging raindrop chairs and other seating. The back porch has hanging chairs and a dining table.

The Tide Pool Cabin has two bedrooms downstairs and additional sleeping space upstairs:

- Bedroom One features one queen bed with an en suite bathroom.

- Bedroom Two features two queen beds and is just a couple steps away from the house’s grand bathroom.

- Upstairs Living Room features a sofa that pulls out into a full size bed.

The house has two bathrooms:

- The Master Bathroom is en suite to the Master Bedroom and contains a single vanity single shower and all-in-one washer/dryer.

- The Big Bathroom is shared by the Big Bedroom and the common areas of the house. The second bathroom is truly a showstopper. It features a heated floor, dual vanities and a massive 5’ x 5’ shower with dual shower heads.

The Neighborhood:
The Tide Pool Cabin is in an unbeatable location at the edge of downtown Ocean Shores. It’s situated directly on the undeveloped sand dunes nature preserve on the Pacific Ocean and is near the hotels, restaurants and shops and is across the street from the golf course. Please note: The beach in Ocean Shores is constantly expanding. Over the past 60+ years, since Ocean Shores was founded, the ocean has continued to gradually move farther away, creating large protected sand dunes between the hotels and the ocean. So, while this property is technically “ocean front” it’s probably more accurate to say it’s “dune front” these days. This can be good or bad depending on your perspective. These days it’s a bit of a walk to the ocean. However, it’s a beautiful stroll as you walk through the protected sand dunes. All hotels and houses at the beach in downtown Ocean Shores are the same distance from the ocean.

Would definitely return…
Location is close (walking distance) to the beach, groceries, shopping or restaurants. Home has plenty of room for our stay of 4 adults. We did cook on this trip and had everything we needed. The beds are memory foam and fairy comfortable. The shower had a quirky valve but we managed to make it work. All in all a great 2 day place to stay. We would definitely come back. Plus David came to our rescue when we were leaving and locked the doors with a cell phone still inside.

If you are looking at this property, reserve it!!
This place was top notch in literally every aspect. The property managers thought of everything, it felt like a cozy home away from home. We have stayed at Ocean Shores many times, and I was about to reserve a different property for almost $200 less than this one, but the reviews and pictures led me to try it... and I am glad I did! Trust me when I say.. you will not want to stay anywhere else, the had snacks ready, a welcome message, all kinds of things you might forget bringing to a beach, cozy places to sit and sleep, they checked in with us all throughout our stay...... amazing stay - thank you!!

Awesome!
We were all so happy with the Tide Pool house. The description and pictures were accurate and the house layout perfect. I use a power wheelchair and the hosts measured every door on the first floor so I would know what to expect. The hosts were responsive, respectful and helpful. Two things we missed; dog towels and a few toys for kids too young for board games and puzzles. Other than that :) I would highly recommend this house in particular and the hosts/company in general.

Just Amazing
I reserved this place for a long weekend with some old friends from my college days. The house was everything I expected from the listing and then some. Plenty of space for three of us - we could've accommodated twice that many. Beds were very comfortable, TV was huge (we brought the Playstation, so that was important), the kitchen served us well for cooking a few meals, and the porch was a great place to hang out - even when it was raining. The walk to the beach is a little ways (0.35mi), but that's typical of this part of the coast. We were a very short drive from everything we needed, and couldn't really have been closer because stuff is sort of spread out anyway. Great communication from the host, easy check-in/out. Nothing negative about this experience. If you like what you see in the pictures, you'll only be happier when you actually get there.

Fun place to stay
I stayed in Ocean Shores with a few teammates during the Seaplastic beach frisbee tournament. This house was just down the road and slept half my team very comfortably. The host was very attentive to our needs and allowed us a late checkout so we could shower before I drive home. Would stay there again!

Lovely few days by the ocean
My mom, close friend, and a total of our five kids combined spent five nights at this comfortable getaway in Ocean Shores. Everything was just as described and the management team was amazing from booking to check out. They truly understand the meaning of customer service and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Any issues were resolved in a timely manner and handled professionally. The kids had a great time around the fire pit roasting smores in the evenings, and the loft area was a plus! There was plenty of space for all eight of us to comfortably spread out. We highly recommend this accommodation for families, friends, or couples looking for a relaxing getaway by the ocean. Thank you to the entire Soquinomere team! ~Amina and family

Our 2nd stay here and it gets better each time!
Everything was perfect- communication with management, check-in, amenities, location, and personal touch that made our stay top-notch. Our kids and grandkids loved it so much that my four year-old granddaughter asked her mom if they could return the next day after returning home! This isn't just a "VRBO" but a well stocked and prepared home to stay in and enjoy. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful mini-break
This is a marvelous property - perfect for sharing with two couples or family. The primary living room has this beautiful, massive sofa we could all four of us relax comfortably on to watch a movie - so often, these places simply don't have sufficient living room seating. In addition, the upstairs loft provided a quiet space to go sit with coffee, a book or a glass of wine - we never felt like we were on top of each other. Bedrooms are split by the common living area and kitchen so there's plenty of privacy. And it's thoughtfully furnished and decorated. We all LOVED the Tide Pool Cabin and will definitely be coming back. We were there after some heavy rainy periods in May, so take note - the trail to the beach was definitely too flooded to walk, even with boots - but it's entirely possible to walk to the nearest hotel and use the trail there to get to the beach. We can't wait to go back!

Ringing in my 60's in style
I celebrated turning 60 at the Tide Pool Cabin. The experience was fabulous. Although the premises needed some repairs, our overall stay rated above our expectations. The funky decorating made you feel as if you were in a boutique hotel. The management made sure to treat you with care and made you feel special from the time you were to arrive. We were greeted with special touches such as birthday balloons, sparkling cider, and flowers along with a basket full of treats to use throughout our stay. The rooms were clean and promoted a feeling of luxury from providing robes, slippers, and other necessities that you may have forgotten. The management was very receptive and accommodating as needed. We definitely enjoyed our stay and will recommend the Tide Pool Cabin to our friends. Looking forward to seeing what other places will become available through Soquinomere.

Two couples were easily accommodated with bedrooms separated by the main part of the house and each with bathrooms. Kitchen had dishes and cookware. Bring your own spices. Lots of nice amenities in bedrooms and bathrooms and decor is unique. Fun stay, no beach view but within walking distance.

Wonderful property management team & somewhere we'd love to return to.
We stayed at this property for our wedding weekend and hosted the reception in the large back garden. From the moment we arrived we felt very welcomed, as the property managers had left some nice touches and even a congratulatory card. They were also quick, thoughtful and helpful in their responses to our planning questions beforehand. The house itself was very clean, spacious, and accommodated 4 adults and 2 children very comfortably. The front and back yards were very large and we took full advantage of them, as well as the covered patio areas. There is also a path out the back of the house that goes directly down to the beach, which was very convenient! We loved the location of the house within ocean shores, as it was within walking distance of the town and beach, yet felt very private and secluded. Throughout our stay, the team managing the property were very responsive and happy to help us when we needed something. We felt very at home and we're so pleased that we decided to celebrate our wedding here.
