Boardwalk Cottages

Clean and friendly. Great for that romantic getaway. We stayed in the Sea Otter. Cute bed, fireplace, and jetted soaking tub. The fresh scones and muffins in the morning were icing on the cake.
They have a hot tub and barbeque available but we didn’t try either of them.
It’s close to the beach, about 5 blocks or so, and a few blocks from the main part of downtown. Didn’t need our car the entire time we were there, granted, we do like to walk and the couple miles down to Seaview and back we consider easy.
It was raining and they have nice complimentary umbrellas.

Great place to stay, everyone is super nice here. I will say that you can hear the people in the room right next to yours, but it really wasn’t a huge issue. Convent and close to down town, we walked everywhere that we wanted to go.
and it is not bad on the budget.

I have many things to say about the Boardwalk Cottages and most of them are good.
First off the location was perfect. It was a short walk to the beach, a bicycle rental place, a horse riding rental place, several tasty restaurants, a nice bakery and the famed boardwalk which is definitely worth a walk.
The cottage was clean and each day our towels and free ground coffee were replenished, our bed was made and even the cushions of the couch were refluffed.
As the evening wore on, the cottage felt chilly and the electric fireplace chased away the chill and we read, played UNO with our son and felt as snug as bugs in our cozy little cottage.
On our second night we tried out the onsite hot tub. What a delight it was to sit in the warm water and hear the waves crashing on the nearby beach! For someone who grew up in the desert it was an experience I will never forget.
Each cottage has a place in front to park, so we were able to park right in front of our cottage and unload the groceries we bought for our three day stay without much bother. The little kitchenette was adequately stocked with pots, pans and dishes, but if you are like me and have a favorite pan or utensils, you should bring them with you (sadly I left my best spatula behind!).
I have a fragrance sensitivity and I was delighted that the cottage wasn’t cleaned with overly perfumed cleaners nor were there any plug in air fresheners or incense, just the clean ocean air.
Now for the things we didn’t like;
1. The bed was hilarious. I laughed and laughed as no matter how much we held onto the sides of the mattress we still ended up stuck in the people sized hole in the middle. I think this mattress may need to retire and give one made after the invention of the personal computer a go.
2. The homemade baked goods. Why say homemade if you are just picking them up at the local supermarket? The muffins we were given were dry and tasteless with an abundance of sugar, so do yourself a favor and pack a muffin tin and a couple of boxes of muffin mix. Storebought, even with an abundance of butter and jam rarely lives up to even the most generic of boxed muffin mixes.

Great little place. Very quiet, clean and well tended. We stayed in the Sand Dollar Cottage. Cozy and comfortable, with a gas fireplace. They have a good selection of DVDs or VHS tapes for in room viewing. Within walking distance to the downtown area, and to the beautiful, sandy beaches of the Long Beach Peninsula. Almost right across the street from the quaint movie theater.
We slept past the breakfast pastry cutoff time, but the owner left a basket of delicious scones for us while we were out. Would stay here again. Would be a good place to bring several families to vacation together in the different cottages.

Very helpful staff, immaculate and comfortable cottage and convenient location.
We spent two nights in the Sand Dollar during early December. Not exactly peak season for the peninsula, but we decided to visit Long Beach as a detour from Portland back to home on Whidbey Island.
First, the rooms (ours, at least) do look just like the pictures on the web site. The Sand Dollar is like a small, one bedroom apartment.
With just two of us, it was very comfortable. You could use the sleeper sofa in the living room for two kids or close friends. Be aware that the bedroom is really small, so if you want to sleep with the door closed, you’ll have to open the window for air. I should also mention that if you are really sensitive to these things, you’ll hear the water heater fire up when someone in one of the other two attached «cottages» uses hot water.
That brings up the description: cottages. In reality, there are several units within each structure, a bit like a row house. I think the maximum is four in a row. Ours was on an end, so we had windows on three sides. The neighboring unit was occupied, but noise was not a problem.
The Sand Dollar’s kitchen is compact but functional, with an apartment-​size reefer and even a compact dishwasher. The bathroom is very nice, but shower only (no tub). During our December visit the gas fireplace was quite welcome, as were the Cadet heaters in the living room and kitchen.
Boardwalk Cottages is located a block off the main drag and about four blocks (south, then west) from the beach. It’s a block from the go kart track and across the street from the local cinema. Being in Long Beach, there are many dining options within a short drive and some within a long walk.
Need wifi? They actually have several repeaters here, so I’m guessing that you’ll get a strong signal in any room. I noticed that the base router seems to be one of the newest types. We had no trouble connecting.
It’s worth mentioning that there is open space on two sides of this little enclave, so you don’t get the feeling you’re pinned in between a bunch of motels or other structures. The parking lot is pretty compact, but I was able to slip my Grand Caravan into the space in front of our cottage.
We might opt for a beach front room next time in Long Beach, but for a stay long enough to do more cooking, we would certainly consider returning to Boardwalk Cottages.

Where to start? I couldn’t have asked for a better place, it over exceed My Husband and I expectations. I love the homey, cozy at home feeling. We spent about 5 days and we didn’t want to leave (just how amazing the spot is).
It deserves more then 5 stars, and I would definitely recommended to this place to friends. We definitely will be visiting again.

Found this place on an Amazon deal site called Amazon Local. My lady and I booked an out of season stay here for March on a great deal. We were not disappointed at all. In fact, this place exceeded our expectations. The description they give themselves does not do justice to what is really there.
It was very comfortable and homey feeling inside. It doesn’t feel like you are in a strange place or hotel and hard to relax. It was very easy to relax and call it home for a few days. The extra large jacuzzi bathtub was probably our main enticement here and it was wonderful. Hit the spot with us. And the outside hot tub was even a fun way to unwind in the evening.
I would definitely come back. Thanks guys!

Just spent 5 days at the Boardwalk Cottages in Long Beach, Washington. It was awesome. They are perfectly located near the beach, shopping, movie theater and anything thing else on your «to do» list while you’re there. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We stayed in the «starfish» cottage. Perfect for two people. Queen size bed, flat screen TV, DVD/​VCR, movies you can «borrow» during your stay. Had a nice little kitchenette if you feel the need to save a little money by eating in. The owner even bakes fresh muffins or scones in the morning, The cranberry scones were delicious. We will definitely be back. Hopefully soon!

Quaint, clean, updated, cozy cottages tucked neatly away, but within convenient walking distance of all the action. Cable, dvd, gas fireplace, full kitchen, dining area, separate bedrooms, comfortable seating area, ¾ bath (shower only). Overall, comfortably hosts 4, with a pull-​out couch expanding to a tight 6.
Every morning, the office provides delicious fresh-​baked homemade scones.
Our only complaint was a certain difficulty in redeeming our reservation. We had purchased the stay through a local school auction and made and confirmed our reservation a year prior, but upon arrival had to reconfirm fresh.
We’d return –great location, good memories.

Cozy place. Found it through a Long Beach website. Nice for a romantic weekend away with my girlfriend. They offer pastries at the office in the morning, which we forgot to partake in despite rave reviews. Probably could have walked to most of where we went, but it was raining that weekend. Spent a lot of time in the room, but it wasn’t a problem. Our room had a mini-​fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, though others may have had more. Our room did however also have a jetted tub which was nice and relaxing The only negative was the wi-​fi was a bit spotty at times. All-​in-​all, a good stay!
