Pacific Dunes Resort

The reservation process was so easy, amazing customer service! Great location, so beautiful, nice little nature walk down to the beach. Very quiet and not crowded when we stayed, we rented the tent with the most comfortable bed we've slept in, as well with a cozy wooden fire stove inside. This little family own business really went all out for us, they are also pet friendly and they offer complimentary local beer from a brewery in Aberdeen, you also have the choice to purchase a wine basket that includes a bottle of local wine with some tasty snacks.

This was our first "Glamping" experience. We had such a fun relaxing time, we are planning another trip for the near future. Highly recommended for the family or just a couples weekend retreat like we did!

This review is specifically for tiny house #1 … we understand that it’s more of a camping experience. But it was a combination of unsafe, uncomfortable and unstocked conditions that made us leave after one night.

Just to recap here: no working oven, no wall on the back of the house itself (exposed propane tanks & very drafty bathroom), glass on balcony was missing, balcony itself extremely inaccessible, can’t sit up in the main bed area (which is a mattress topper) , water was rusty, microwave turned on and off by itself, and only half a roll of toilet paper in the whole place. That’s not all, but it’s all I have time for.

Management did refund us for the night we didn’t stay but as another review has mentioned I wasn’t able to obtain email receipts despite asking numerous times. Oh and the ice cream box outside the office is filled with mold!! Should be thrown away immediately.

We stayed for one night in the glamping tent Bravo; we enjoyed our stay, the tent was clean , stocked with wood for the fire stove.

We were not able to have the fire going (our fault), but the bedding kept us warm anyway, even if outside was pretty chilly and rainy.

Bed is quite soft, but it wasn’t a problem for our short stay.

Bathrooms seem reasonably clean and warm; men’s one seem to have had some work done recently, women’s is a bit darker IMO.

We haven’t seen anyone in the office, but the innkeeper replied promptly to a couple of messages.

The beach is probably 3/4 mile away, easy to walk to and very isolated.

We’d definitely come back again

We had a wonderful time at Pacific Dunes Resort and can’t wait to plan our next stay.

Here is what stood out during our long weekend:

Glamping tent: The tent was in good used condition, resilient and warm during the rainy evenings. The wood stove set up kept us extremely comfortable and the blankets and bed were cozy. The extras we brought were towels and blankets. Those came in handy, we used the blankets for our dog and our extra towels in the entryway kept the rain/sand from getting in the tent.

Location:

This is not right on the beach but it’s extremely close. The water is about a 10-15 minute walk and you still can enjoy all the sounds and smells of the water from the resort.

Amenities:

This place really has everything you need within the resort, extras are easy to snag from a small grocer 5 minutes away. Fire pits and personal BBQs are dotted all over the grounds, with all the supplies you’d need to get going. The local restaurants are pretty mid and expensive, but we had a great time cooking on site.

Bathrooms:The bath house is very well maintained, with a heater, menstrual supplies, and full shower (with soap and hair stuff). Even the least outdoorsy person could feel comfortable using these washrooms.

Service:

10/10. Kayla our Inkeeper was very welcoming and kind. She strikes a great balance between giving you privacy and being available if you have a question or want a coffee. For $50 I surprised my boyfriend with the Valentine’s package. It was such a sweet and silly way to make our trip just a little bit special.

Thanks again, Kayla!

I could not recommend this place enough! My husband and I stayed in one of the bungalows and it was super cute! Very clean, and well put together! Kayla the innkeeper was extremely wonderful to work with and her communication was perfect! I had read the reviews before arriving and some of them were nitpicking the smallest things. The bungalows have a main TV and then another in the bedroom. There is only one remote, but it is universal so it works with both! They put fabric adhesive on one of the curtains to help with privacy, it worked really well! My husband and I would 100% stay here again, and loved listening to the rain and ocean at night. It very much so exceeded expectations and hope that you give this place a try! Oh, they also have a coffee bar in the office, which was a huge bonus!
