Very comfortable vacation spot!
Pros:

Fantastic location, right on the estuary, a couple blocks from the main intersection with shops and restaurants. Plenty of space to spread out, well-stocked kitchen.

Cons:

The check in time was 3, then 4, but the room wasn’t ready until 4:30. We happily tucked into a restaurant for a bowl of chowder.

Comfortable, clean, and so close to the oceanside! I would return again.
Pros:

Location was central to walk all around and close to beach access. There was plenty of windows for seabreeze and light. Doors open lets in the ocean sounds!

Cons:

I would have preferred to have unobstructed oceanfront views but this room was available at a decent price. The comfort of the space made up for it.

This stay was wonderful, with clean, cozy rooms and one of the best ocean views I have ever seen.
Pros:

Room: The room was cozy and super comfortable. It was clean, well maintained and the temperature was comfortable.
View: The view was amazing. The room had wrap around windows overlooking the ocean, and the sea is visible from the bed.
Location: The beach is steps away, and there are a bunch of restaurants in the neighborhood within 2-3 mins of walking.
Staff: The staff were super kind and very attentive.

Cons:

Location, could use some updating.

So sad to have to leave
Pros:

Fantastic location in a fantastic town. The room was clean and quiet with a view of the ocean. When we got up in the morning there was an elk walking on the beach! We stayed one night and it was one of the the only times I’ve ever been sad to leave a place. I wish we’d stayed longer.

Cons:

The only slightly negative thing about the place was that it showed some wear from use but it was totally acceptable and didn’t detract from our enjoyment of the place.

Pros:

Proximity to stores, restaurants, and the beach were exactly what I wanted.

Cons:

The booking.com listing for this property shows a pool in the pictures. There is in fact, no pool. That was a big disappointment for me and my family. Also I didn't realize my ocean view room wasn't ocean front. I could see the ocean, if I looked one direction, otherwise I was looking at cars, the street, and another building right in front of me. The jacuzzi area says to wash your feet before entering. Didn't see anywhere for you to be able to wash your feet and the area in the jacuzzi area had sand and debris the 2 different days we visited. There is also nowhere that I could find to wash your feet off after visiting the beach. We were forced to walk back to our hotel room and clean up there. The bed was comfortable, the pillows were flat as pancakes.

Cozy suite right on the ocean/Ecola river.
Pros:

Beach proximity and view are stellar. The suite was really nice, and we enjoyed the gas fireplace.

Cons:

The bedding was really awful. I feel that for the price of this accommodation, the bedding should be upgraded to luxury hotel bedding. Instead, they have cheap microfiber (plastic feel) sheets, and plastic mattress cover. It was a very cold sleep.

Will stay again .
Pros:

Centrally located inside the village shopping center. The apartment has a different name and under renovations with 2 suites rooms only. Perfect to be if you enjoys the crowd surrounded with restaurants, shopping areas and steps away from the beach.

Cons:

I keep hitting the wood base platform corners of the bed. Suggest to get them rounded or attach some sort of rubber edge protector. Smart tv and great coffee selection are a nice addition
