We had initially booked a rental in Ocean Shores, but when the access code didn't work and the host was MIA, the VRBO rep had to find us another pet friendly location that had a kitchenette. I'm so happy this was the one he rebooked us with! After a stressful afternoon, we were met with friendly, helpful staff and when we arrived in our room they had soothing music playing. The direct beach access, to a mostly deserted stretch of beach (at least in April), was an added bonus. We will definitely be back.
