Ilwaco is a small port town on the WA coast with lots of character. The living space of our modern carriage house is upstairs so it's light & cozy, 600sq ft. It's a 2 minute walk to the port & 10 minute bike ride to Cape Disappointment (lots of bikes to use in the garage) and the beach. Eco-built in 2006, it's a cozy, quiet place (walls are plastered and 1 foot thick!). There's a firepit and table in the yard, and gas BBQ in the garage. The red canoe on side of house is yours to use. Garage full of toys: fishing rods w/ tackle, clam rakes/guns, 2 shorty wetsuits (adult, kid), sand toys, 2 bogie + 2 skim boards, a few camp chair, some kites, 3 kids life jackets, beach umbrella, square collapsible crab pot, small cooler, 9 sets of rubber boots in various sizes, 5 bikes w/ helmets It's all open -- there is another house on the property with a full time renter. We'll be available to help you via phone. In an emergency, we have nice neighbors that we can call upon. Ilwaco is a hard-working fishing town -- crusty on the outside, cozy on the inside! Ilwaco has public transport (stop is 50 ft from house!), but getting around by foot is easy, and you're welcome to use any of the 5 bicycles in the garage.
