1: Determine Which Accommodation Option Works Best

Our Washington coast resort offers several different room types. By providing various accommodation options, we can host groups of all sizes and budgets. While there is no bad option, one room style might work better for you than another. Our penthouse suites give you all the comforts of home, including fireplaces and full kitchens. Standard rooms, which can sleep up to four, are perfect for those who will be spending most of their time out and about exploring.

2: Try to Make a List of Must-Do Activities

There is no shortage of things to do and see in Ocean Shores. With so many activities and attractions to choose from, it can sometimes seem like there are too many choices. A great way to narrow down your options is to have everyone in your group pick their top adventures. There are countless adventures to embark on, like canoeing on a rental from Canoe Dude or checking out local amusements like Pacific Paradise Park.

3: Don’t Wait until the Last Minute to Book Your Stay

One of the biggest things we can recommend when planning your stay at our Ocean Shores resort is to book your room at soon as you know your vacation dates. Doing this ensures you get your top room choice. This detail is especially important if you’re visiting during peak times of the year, like summer.
