The 2 br, 3rd fl unit had views all around and was sunny and bright. Fireplace was a nice touch. Unit was dog-friendly but you couldn’t tell. A little dated but very clean and well maintained. Pool was nice and warm but there weren’t any games to borrow and videos were rentals. Trails to beach were still underwater from winter rains so driving was necessary. Lots of fun family activities for the whole family in Ocean Shores!

Just fell in love with Ocean Shores. Glad Canterbury was our spot. Loved having first floor access to the grass for the dog. Easy stay, clean, everything you need and you can drive on the beach right down the street for miles. Definitely recommended and definitely will be back. Curious to see what the other first floor units look like.
