There’s something truly magical about a beach escape. Something about the briny breeze, cushioning sand between your toes, and an endless sky painted with nature’s paintbrush that quiets the clock we always seem to run against. When you need to recharge, there’s nothing better than an escape to the shore. Here, the sands in the hourglass seem to slip a little slower. Crafting a seaside getaway may seem impossible, especially with a full schedule. Thankfully, your ideal salt-kissed solution is closer than you think. Time is non-refundable, so follow along as we plan your perfect beach retreat to help slow your roll and create priceless memories. 

Step One: Find the Perfect Beach for Your Retreat

Every perfect beach retreat starts with finding a destination serving up natural beauty, tranquility, and just the right amount of adventure. Look no further than the Long Beach Peninsula, a stretch of 28 miles of sand just around the corner. 

Conveniently located less than a few hours from Seattle or Portland, Long Beach Peninsula is an easy drive from either major city. This hidden gem along Washington’s wild Evergreen Coast is one of the ten best coastal small towns in the nation. Our charming small town has one of the longest beaches in the world, tons of local culture, five state parks, and some of the best seafood you’ve ever tasted. You can create golden memories without spending all day traveling, which means you’ll be beachside by sunset. 

Step Two: Find the Perfect Home Away from Home

Now that you’ve found the ideal shore, the next step to your perfect beach retreat is settling into your cozy home away from home – the Lighthouse Oceanfront Resort. Unlike crowded hotels or anonymous rentals, our hideaway is your personal sanctuary by the sea. From extra-large townhouse-style suites to complete kitchens and plenty of resort amenities, you’ll enjoy a stay better than any VRBO or Airbnb. 

Perfectly positioned, our luxury haven is poised minutes from downtown Long Beach. While close enough to skip to town, our 28 acres offer the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle. You’ll find our tranquility nestled in a blanket of sea pines, snuggled directly against the coastline. Our property boasts private access directly onto one of the world’s longest beaches, so you can dig your toes into the sand steps from your front door. Watch the sunset from your private balcony and fall asleep to the soothing lullaby of Poseidon. When taking a break from your seaside strolling, you can languish in our onsite barrel sauna, float in our indoor saline pool, or play a round in our tennis and pickleball facility. Our resort is rich with coastal charm and conveniences while being gentle on the pocketbook. 

Step Three: Bring the Whole Crew (Including the Furry Ones)

Our oceanfront oasis is fun for the whole family. After all, what’s a perfect beach retreat without your loved ones and loyal four-legged friends by your side? Our expansive suites provide plenty of room to bring the crew. Our oceanside condos come in various configurations, allowing the perfect design for your travel needs. Snuggle up in our one-bedroom options if you need a cozy single. Upgrade to the two or three-bedroom designs if you bring family and friends. Our oversized layouts provide breathing room and the benefits of a luxury vacation rental. Enjoy excellent onsite amenities with none of the hassle of pesky VRBO owners. As a bonus, each room is dog-friendly, so your faithful pooches can enjoy the coast too. 

Step Four: Stock Up and Settle In

One of the many perks of staying at Lighthouse Oceanfront Resort is our well-stocked kitchens. Each expansive townhouse-style suite includes a full kitchen brimming with pots, pans, dishes, and cutlery. A standard fridge and dishwasher mean you have the comforts of home while on vacation. Skip the busy restaurants and make your perfect beach retreat personal by cooking a feast with local ingredients. Head to one of the nearby grocery suppliers to stock up on fresh seafood, local produce, and all the fixings for your meals. From whipping up a quick breakfast before a morning beach walk to preparing a seafood feast for dinner, you’ll feel right at home in your beachfront oasis.

Step Five: Beach a Retreat to the Great Outdoors

Your perfect beach retreat wouldn’t be complete without immersing yourself in the natural beauty surrounding you. Step out of your door and onto the sands of our backyard beach. Enjoy your sandy saunter against a chorus of seagulls and the perfume of salty air. For those craving more adventure, nearby state parks like Cape Disappointment and Fort Columbia offer incredible hiking opportunities. Take in the sweeping ocean views, explore the lush forests, and let the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest remind you why spending time in nature is always time well spent.

Step Six: Cozy Up and Relax by the Fire

After a day of beach adventures, few things are as priceless as cozying up by your own private fireplace. At Lighthouse Oceanfront Resort, you can wind down your evening with the warmth of crackling logs. Take the family onto the beach and enjoy s’more-making with our custom s’more kits, featuring local chocolates laced with sea salt and cranberries. Or lounge around your gas fireplace in your personal living room. You’ll feel the tension of the day-to-day grind slipping away as the fire dances against a backdrop of crashing waves. 

Step Seven: Time is Non-Refundable, So Spend It on a Perfect Beach Retreat 

When time is non-refundable, memory-making is invaluable. So, gather your loved ones, pack your bags, and take an enriching trip to our oceanfront oasis. Your perfect beach retreat is a heartbeat away and worth its weight in gold.
