Located on Washington state's rugged Pacific coast, Seabrook offers serene cottage retreats for couples and families yearning for that magical small beach town appeal amongst gorgeous natural surroundings.
Here is where my oldest sister booked us to stay for several days. Kudos to her! Set on a bluff with beach front views, this stunning cottage rental (Seabluff) was impressive beyond words. We lucked out with this place. But not so much the rainy weather.
Another view of this lovely cottage. If you look closely at the bottom left window belonging to a door, there are three starfish lined up behind the glass pane. So cute.
The topmost window belongs to the game room. One day as rain poured outside, we played pool. And with hours spent amid sounds of cue ball strikes, and rolling rumbles of brightly colored balls before dropping into corner pockets, I couldn't help but be impressed by my father's pool expertise. Now in his late 80's, he nearly won every game! Bravo pops!
Here is the wonderful wraparound covered porch. A real treat to spend with family while consuming delicious homemade meals and hot drinks. And it served as contemplative refuge too. Contentment this. Really, nothing more satisfying than to simply sit and listen to the rain drum onto the shingled rooftop. All the while, off in the far distance, seagulls drift above a silvery gray ocean.
I love porches. To be sure, they make cozy friends.
One late afternoon when the rain had stopped and sunlight appeared, my brother and I set off on bicycles provided by the cottage owners. The bikes have old-timey foot brakes and are a blast to ride. Once while taking twists and turns through cottage lined streets, I grew teary-eyed recalling fond childhood memories bicycling around countless places lived before. It's unfortunate we can't turn back time if only for a little while. Well, at least we have our memories.
More in next post.
