About this property

Right On the Beach! Hot Tub, Pet-friendly, Fireplace, WiFi, Best of NW Escapes!

*Right On the Beach! In-deck Hot Tub, Pet-friendly, Fireplace, WiFi, BBQ, Best of NW Escapes!*
Welcome to Sand Castlemore – the perfect escape to the Seascape of the Pacific Northwest. Just 16 steps from the sand, this beachfront luxury home has been nominated King 5 & Evening Magazine Best of Western Washington Northwest Escapes--Best Getaways. Our beautiful, custom-built, Lindal Cedar (beachfront) home is slightly more than a 2 hour drive from the Seattle/Tacoma or Portland areas. Located on Sunset Beach in Moclips, Washington it is an easy drive north of Ocean Shores. The home's seashore setting, glorious unobstructed panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, decadent accommodations, and magical charm make it the perfect vacation destination for families, friends, romantic getaways, and for a sea escape from the 'real world.'

Make no mistake, SAND CASTLEMORE IS JUST STEPS FROM THE SAND -- not like homes on the bluff requiring a serious hike to the beach or a drive in the car, and not like homes to the south sitting a mile or more back from the sand’s edge -- but rather, Sand Castlemore requires only 16 easy steps from the homes deck, down a private staircase, to the sea grass below. Imagine spending the entire day on the beach but only having a quick trip up your very own stairs to grab a beach towel, some food and drink, or to meet a restroom need. This can be especially handy with children or older folk who may tire more easily. This home has unmatched privacy--there are no homes on the beach to the south as far as the eye can see. This is especially convenient when enjoying the private hot tub.

This part of the Washington Coast features a beautiful high bluff with windswept trees, and the tranquil, unspoiled beaches below. Perhaps more surprising, it features the expansive Olympic wilderness that is famous for its BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS. Several of the most “well-known and documented” sightings have been only a few miles from our home. We won’t tell if we’ve seen Bigfoot ourselves!

There are several of the best steelhead and salmon rivers in the whole Pacific Northwest within a 30 minute drive. Lake Quinault is a 20 minute drive east. The Hoh River rain forest and the Olympic National Park are a short distance away.

This gorgeous 3 bedroom, 2 bath home can accommodate up to 8 guests and offers unmatched seaside quality throughout.

Impeccably maintained, pristine condition, thoughtfully and amply stocked for guests' comfort, quiet and serene location, excellent access to the beach. Our rescue dogs loved racing down the short path through the small dunes to the wide open beach.

Relaxation on the Beach
We had a wonderful, relaxing birthday weekend out at the beach house with friends, family, and our pup. The house was pristine and very well appointed, including lots of thoughtful amenities. The hosts were great, very thoughtful, proactive, and responsive. Fabulous spot on the beach where you can walk right out to the dunes, very private and peaceful.

The Very Best....Incredible
My girlfriend and I had stayed here about 9 years ago on a girls' trip with two others and loved it. We like it so well we wanted to share it with our husbands. They loved it as well. It is a very beautiful and comfortable home. It is so lovely inside and exceptionally clean. We were impressed once again how well stocked the kitchen and whole home is. The view, being right on the beach, is breathtaking. Dann and Diane are exceptional hosts. They are extremely responsive and very nice people. We really enjoyed our stay.

The perfect getaway!
We loved our stay at this beach house! We have two kids, 5 and 20 months, and being directly on the beach was so magical (and ideal). We failed to realize that the bedroom with the single beds was actually an open loft, so keep that in mind if kids will be sleeping there and going to bed much earlier than you, but it ended up not being a huge issue thanks to our sound machine! The kitchen is great and super stocked with the basics including ground coffee. Seabrook is a 5 minute drive down the road and we loved spending a couple hours there every afternoon before heading back home for dinner and more playing on the beach. The hosts were lovely and we would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful beach getaway!
Sandcastlemore is our favorite home to stay when we come to the beach. It’s super clean and well maintained, has all the comforts of home, and you can’t beat the view and direct access to the beach. Diane and Dann are always so thoughtful and wonderful to work with. They truly welcome you and your dog if applicable, it feels like home but better!

Perfectly Furnished Vacation Home
Our hosts really know how to keep a vacation home tidy and ready for a week at the beach! We arrived to a lovely welcome gift and a house with sufficient linens as well as disposable paper towels and plates. The kids loved the glass candy bowl. The tv was wired for Hulu cartoons in the morning and overall the wifi was great. We didnt need to run to the store for anything except more milk for waffles (waffle iron saves someone from getting stuck making pancakes!). We will return to this splendid vacation property on one of my favorite beaches.

We had 4 generations come down and stay. Everyone was comfortable from my grandma to my kids. Those that wanted to walk the beach it was a quick easy walk out and others could just enjoy it from inside the beautiful house. We made memories that we will treasure for a lifetime. Beautiful well stocked home that had everything we could want or need!
