Seaview Motel & Cottages

Cute, comfortable and clean. Quiet too, slightly away (about 2 miles) from touristy hustle and bustle of Long Beach. We were pleased with our choice and would return here anytime. Friendly office, and nice owner pets lent a homey feel. Great deal for the money!

We rented three cottages for the forth of July weekend and had a great time. The cottages were very clean. One of our cottages had a full kitchen with small frig and the other two had a very small frig and microwave. It has excellent access to the beach and everything you need from fresh seafood to bars all within walking distance. (Across the street)
The owners are very nice. This place is not the «Hilton» by any means so don’t expect super fancy because it’s not. It’s very cute and perfect for a get away to the beach.
It is next to the main road so it can be loud at times but it didn’t bother us because we were having so much fun.

First off, the owners are the friendliest people you will ever meet, and hardworking too! There wasn’t a day that went by that we didn’t see them out and about around the property, updating and cleaning. There is also a motel dog and cat, who are just as friendly as the owners!
We stayed in Cottage #2, which was exactly as described — 2 queen beds, a small refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker. A small word of warning, if you are taller than 6ft, this room might feel a little claustrophobic. Very low ceilings and the shower is very short. My husband is 6’2″ and the ceiling was less than a foot from his head. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars. That being said, the room was otherwise just fine. One bed was firm and the other had a memory foam topper. The bedding and towels were all clean and smelled very nice. Our little room had 4 windows and one in the bathroom, so we had tons of daylight and fresh air. There was plenty of light in the evening as well, 4 wall lamps with florescent bulbs.
We paid $ 69 a night, off season. And only $ 5 a night for our dog. A steal compared to the other places nearby. The owner came over to chat and say goodbye when we were packing up.
If you’re in the market for a place to call «home» while on vacation, this is the place to choose.

Very cheap, very dog friendly and some great coffee.
The cabins are scruffy (it helps to think «rustic»). I wondered why the owners didn’t do those little things– paint the door, get nicer curtains, etc. Then I remembered it’s basically a hotel for my dogs where I get a bed.
A word on the coffee– it was completely out of place. This locally roasted, flavorful coffee in a budget hotel? It was… dare I say delicious? I dare! They get the beans from a local roaster. When I headed back to Seattle, I stopped and got a few pounds. Captain Beans, I think.
My criteria are dog friendly, cheap, quality of the room, in that order. You’ll like the place if yours are the same. If not, this would probably be a 2 star hotel for you.

Five stars for price, location, and friendliness. The owners are very, VERY friendly and they deserve many accolades.
That being said, the room itself won’t wow you – especially if you’re looking for luxury. It’s a small beach town, so take that into consideration when booking any place. The room was sufficient for out needs (married, 30’s, active). We were there just to sleep, really, while we explored all day.
The room was small, clean, and the bed firm. Our backs were great in the AM!
It’s been years since I’ve spent $ 55 on a hotel room. I consider this to be a great bargain – cheap without the creepiness you might find elsewhere.

We had a weekend out here recently and enjoyed it very much. We stayed in cabin 1 and found the place very clean and very functional. I found the price very reasonable, and with two kids who can be a bit noisy sometimes it’s nice to know that we’re not keeping other people awake.
This place was well-​situated, close to the beach and a short walk from a grocery store. The kitchen in our unit was stocked pretty well with dishes and cookware. My only complaints about our stay are minor — the free wi-​fi didn’t work the first night we were there, but that got sorted out by the next morning; and the heater in our unit was loud.
The owners were on-​site and very friendly. They didn’t mind our kids playing with their dog, and they were on the spot to answer questions and solve problems. I cannot complain. We’re going back this summer for a two-​night stay which I just booked and I am looking forward to it.

Nice staff, clean rooms, ok parking.

Solid 4 based on value compared to other hotels in town; the place is NOT closed down as one poster claims, perhaps that was when the new owners took over.
We had unit #33, one of the cabins — anecdotally these were WWII officers quarters shipped up by barge from oregon.
A cute little porch/​staircase leads to a small kitchen (full range, sink, mini-​fridge (no useable frozen part), microwave) and folding dining table, a small living room with a hide-​a-​bed couch, a TV perched on top of a tall dresser (bad viewing angle) with great cable service, a small queen size bedroom and a tiny bathroom. Free WiFi that worked well (I’ve had miserable WiFi service at the hotels in town, Super8, Rodeway, Chataqua).
For the price during the Kite Festival (Super 8 was gouging $ 180/​nt) this was fantastic. We paid less than $ 100/​nt.
One bonus that you dont often consider is getting to park just steps away from the cottage (you get your own assigned parking spot). Easy easy in & out. Clean little gravel courtyard with picnic table and weber bbq grill (ask the owners if they have leftover briquets/​starter, and they had a grill scrub and spatula). We bbq’d fresh silvers we caught right there.
the cottages are located almost directly across from the Seaview Approach (Long Beach access point) — another bonus! Access to the beach paved trail here too. Close to Sids Market, the only useable grocer in the area. And you’re 5 minutes away from your Ilwaco Fishing adventure.
Owners were super-​friendly, and they do come replace towels and freshen up things everyday (they wont be doing your dishes, rightfully). The hide-​a-​bed worked fine for my teenager, but the owner did say they’d bring in an airbed if it didnt work out.
In addition to everything I said, we like being able to directly contribute to local owner/​operators in this struggling seaside community, so we’ll stay here again for sure.

BEWARE!!! This place is closed down but their website is still taking reservations… we had booked a cottage for 12÷30÷10−1÷1÷11 and got over to Long Beach just to find out they were closed down. We had to settle for a motel room instead of a cabin.

I’m really torn on this — it’s probably 2.5 stars…
The good:
— It’s cheap, cheap, cheap. $ 49 a night for a room, when we stayed.
— It’s dog friendly. I’m not just talking about your little ego-​problem-​lap-​dog, I’m talking about our 9 month old lab-​dalmatian mix and all of her energy friendly.
— The owners are really nice.
The bad:
— Our room clearly had been flooded or had a constantly wet floor — it smelled strongly of mildew and the tables showed water damage up to about 4 inches high
— The furniture had seen far far better days and the general feeling was that nothing was all that well maintained
— Parking was tight
