Bloomer Mansion

We had a wonderful stay at Bloomer Mansion! The location was great. We could walk to the beach and into town. We loved the paved trail along the beach! The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need, and it was very kid and pet friendly. Kathy, the property manager, was very helpful and always responded to my questions quickly. We will definitely recommend the property to friends and family, and we will book again when we have another family get together.

We had 9 adults and 9 kids (5 of which were under 2) and this space was wonderful! The toy closet lived up to everyone's hopes for all the ages and the outdoor playset was great. The old house is quirky but they have modernized it well. The bedrooms were surprisingly soundproof (we did use sound machines, but didn't really hear the other kiddos much at all). Because of the ages of our kids, we didn't really use the downstairs and yet didn't feel like we were tripping over each other. The kitchen was well stocked, especially with cooking and serving options for the large group. The next time we need a place to gather, we will likely be going back.

We were upgraded to this house after some heating issues with the house we originally rented. Have to say we really lucked out! We had a large group and there was more than enough space for us and our extended family to gather and entertain. It's an old quirky house but that's part of the charm. The outdoor play area was perfect for our little ones. And the path to the beach is really beautiful, don't miss it!

Bloomers Mansion has been the perfect marriage retreat for our 5 couples these past 7+ years. For January offseason we always get 2 extra nights free making our long weekend affordable and very accommodating since we have 5 private rooms w/queen or king comfortable beds. We love the kitchen and updated amenities as well as the quirky 100-year-old mansions quaintness. Having a dining table that easily seats all 10 of us for meals and space for games and visiting. Only issue is every year we have to have someone fix the tv dish reception and wifi can go in and out - but that's Longbeach for you!

Great house for a large family like ours. 14 people and we didn’t run into each other. Thanks

We have been to Bloomer Mansion in the past with my family. We encouraged our potluck group of nine to try a 4 day weekend at Long Beach. Everyone was delighted with the house and offerings in the Long Beach area. The house is well appointed and kitchen has everything you could imagine needing. The management was very pleasant and responsive to our needs. We had a delightful time and many in our group are planning to return with their families.

Awesome historic house with everything you need.

Large enough for the whole family.

Manager's Response

House was the perfect place for a stay for us and our kids and grandkids. Plenty of room for everyone, and everything we needed for our stay right down to toys and toddler beds. Younger kids loved the "Harry Potter" room, older ones enjoyed board games. Close to amenities such as groceries. Close to attractions. Kids enjoyed kite flying, Family Fun center, museum, Scoopers and more. The only negatives-The beach trail was under water due to recent heavy rain, but beach access road was only a couple blocks away. Hot tub cover extremely heavy and awkward to get back on. Suggest bar lifter. And kids disappointed go-karts closed until spring. Overall, great stay.

Our Marriage group (5-6 couples) has been getting away for MLK weekend for over 15 years. Bloomer's mansion is one of the few places we have found to be good for all of us to eat together, have our own good beds/rooms and still something to do away from the house. It's charming and in a great location and has much to offer! We love it!

Manager's Response

Our multi-fanily gathering stayed at the Bloomer Mansion in December. We love this comfortable, roomy house. We fished (18 surf perch!), clammed and beach walked; cooked terrific family meals, talked, and slept well in the comfortable beds! We had a couple of minor problems, both were fixed immediately by the owners and manager!

Manager's Response

A nice quiet place with room for the whole family,plenty to do and space for everyone to hang out

Manager's Response

We had an early Thanksgiving family get away. This house gave everyone their own bedroom and plenty of space to spread out. The living room was very comfortable with a tv viewing area and a seating area around the fireplace. Full size grand piano brought back all of our piano lesson "skills"! The entry was a great place to kick off our shoes, coats, and toys! The kids toy closet was a hit with my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. She practically lived in there! The dining, kitchen and butler pantry was stocked with everything we needed to cook large dinners. Everyone was able to sit around the table together. (That never happens) Beds were super comfy. Layout of the bedrooms was perfect with lots of extra's if needed. Downstairs game rooms kept the 20 something boys busy, and the hot tub was a wonderful relaxing bonus before bed. I already have friends asking about this place because we loved it so much. My family wants to make this an annual event. Oh, and I almost forgot! Wonderful trail to the beach! And for those that don't want to walk, the road to drive to the beach is about 2 minutes away. The grocery store, gas station and pizza shop are right there. Long Beach, 5 minutes away, has cute shops, great food, arcade, and great bakery :) We will be back!

This is our third visit to Bloomer Mansion. Our family has grown to 14, the maximum for the place. The house is clean and is set up for everyone to be together or to be able to get away for quiet time. The owners were very responsive to any problems we had and fixed them, when possible, right away. We will be back, as long as no one in our family have any more babies!

Manager's Response

3 generations spending a wonderful fall vacation under one roof. There was something to do for everyone. Very clean and well organized. Highly recommend the Bloomer Mansion and in fact, we plan on renting it again in the spring.

Manager's Response

Our stay at the Mansion was great there was room for our family to all bein the living room at the same time with the kids playing in the kids corn with all the toy that were supplied with the house. The Mansion was clean and very well supplied with everything needed for our stay. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Manager's Response

This was the perfect place for our family get-together! There were 13 of us (young and old) and everyone was comfortable in the well-stocked home and made full use of the amenities provided. The weather was perfect and we were able to enjoy all the property had to offer outdoors as well as indoors. It was also great to be within walking distance to local restaurants and sights. We had an excellent experience.

Manager's Response

This is the 4th location we've used for our August fishing trip & by far the best.The antique character of the house is amazing - EVERYONE loved it. Staff is responsive, the house is accommodating & everything works!

The house is five minutes to the port of Ilwaco and just a few minutes down a private trail to the beach. Gas, groceries & even a fishing license are available literally 4 & 5 blocks away.

Parking excellent, grounds well kept, clean & well organized, amenities that all work, owners & staff committed to good service - if it gets better I haven't yet seen it.



We'll be back next year for sure

We had a great time. the property was clean and spacious.

We enjoyed being able to all be at one location during our stay. Kids were thrilled with the game rooms. My grand daughter saw the toy room & said that's my room. The house truly met all of our needs. Great vacation with the family.

Manager's Response

We love this house! We have rented it 4 or 5 times and it's perfect for our family. There is plenty of room for adults upstairs and kids downstairs. The kids loved all the game options. They have replaced the blinds upstairs and some of the furniture downstairs. This house has just about about everything you could need in the kitchen and the appliances are newer work very well. We only wish the fire pit was closer to the house. It is located by the woods and the mosquitoes were terrible there.

Manager's Response

My family held a joint birthday party and reunion. We had 9 people + 1 dog and had a lot of fun. There were plenty of bedrooms for the 9 of us. A group of 4 opted to stay in a nearby hotel but there was plenty of room for 14 people to eat, drink and be merry, yet there was always room for a quiet book reading or some alone time somewhere in or around the house. Reserving the Bloomer Mansion, payment, key access, and check-out expectations were clear and easy. The house is quite old so is not in tip-top shape, but it is far from a shambles. Also, there are interesting things in the house to admire. The walk to the beach is about 15-20 mins through a mosquito-ridden path that was easy to follow (bring extra bug spray).

Manager's Response

The Bloomer Mansion is one of the most beautiful vacation homes that you could imagine. The pictures do not do it justice. It has everything you could ever want in a home. The house was immaculate.

Will need to make reservations for next year.

We have enjoyed this vacation rental for about 8 years now. Each year we have stayed here has been a relaxing and fun time. We love the size where the teenagers can be in the rec room while the adults are spread throughout the house reading a book, playing a card game etc. Our favorite time is walking through the woods to the beach. We never take the asphalt trail that would be too easy!
We will definitely be returning.

Always a joy to be back at the Bloomers Mansion. We are well accommodated there from amenities to location to activities. the old house is charming and very accommodating for 5 couples to spend a long weekend together!

New years weekend 2016 family stay

For the first time ever all family members were together around the tree (provided by the management) for Christmas. This was a special visit we won't forget.

This place is an incredible deal. Beautiful house, extremely well-appointed, with a gorgeous private path to the beach. We are very experienced vacation house renters and this is the most well-equipped kitchen I've ever seen - can you say rice cooker? Even though there's not a lot of counter space and it's an electric stove, at least they have plates and silverware to serve everyone. The beds and bedrooms are comfy, plenty of towels, even equipped with shampoo and shower gel. Lots of space to kick around and relax. Lovely views from all the windows. Definitely bring someone who can play the piano, because it's a beaut! We could go on and on. We'll be back again!

From the moment you walk in the front door, the house is just spectacular. My guests and I had a great time. Convenient to town and the beach. The beach path was through a beautiful little woods. Main upstairs bath has an awesome marble shower. We had several meals in the main dining room, cooked in the sizable and well-laid-out kitchen. House does not appear to have a colander, so if you want to do pasta while you're there, bring your own. If you want a fancy beach weekend getaway, I highly recommend this house, or any of the other Bloomer estates.

We all loved this spacious Victorian home. Such nice sized rooms and lots of fun things for the grand kiddos as well as the adults. It was everything we could have hoped for in size!! Just needs some freshening up and it would be amazing. :)

This is a grand home with interesting history. Spacious rooms on 3 floors in close proximity to many family friendly amusements in Seaview and Long Beach.

Love the property and the location. This was my third visit.

Our Easter family reunion at Bloomers Mansion was luxuriously comfortable with a large, well-equipped kitchen to prepare large meals and a spacious formal dining room with banquet table to comfortably accommodate 12 . The beds and furniture were comfortable, the gas fireplace made the living room cozy and the grand piano was a delightful unexpected bonus. Family members particularly enjoyed the short walk to the beach and the Mansions tranquil, residential setting. When we called management for a air dryer it was delivered promptly.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The house provided plenty of space and toys for kids to play indoors when it was raining without driving the adults crazy. The yard and location near the beach were also convenient and provided many kid-friendly activities. The dining room was able to accommodate everyone. The house was very well stocked with all the little things you might need - towels, kitchen items, beach items, stroller, rain boots, soap, shampoo, games, I could go on. We will definitely be looking at this house again for a future trip.

A group of friends and I rent the mansion every other year for a winter retreat. It works perfectly us; we love the many different spaces and how spacious the communal areas are.

There are so many amenities, and we love the setting in the small town of Seaview. Peaceful and quiet.

Only thing that is an obvious omission is that there is no stereo/home theater in the communal space. Wouldn't be expensive to add one. otherwise its great and kept up well. everything worked as expected.

Our extended family of seven spent four days and nights on the Coast in this comfortable old-fashioned home. We loved the old kitchen with its farmhouse sink and central table, the well-equipped pantry, the dining room's long table, the comfortable beds, and the hot tub! We spent our days on the beach and roaming the Penninsula (stopping longest at the wonderful bookstore in Illwaco) -- and our nights in the house, cooking and eating dinner and then hanging out, reading and talking on the cozy couches in front of the living room's gas fireplace.

We had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful and clean. The Christmas decorations and the beautiful tree was a surprise and very lovely...this was the first time we had rented a house and it was a very wonderful experience. We will surely do it again and have already recommended it to several people!

Manager's Response

The beautiful mansion was the perfect backdrop for our large family to celebrate to gather for fun!

Manager's Response

Our large family and friends gathered at the Bloomer Mansion for four nights over Thanksgiving 2015. We loved the super spacious and gracious living room and dining rooms. It was easy to gather to visit, play games and even have a dance party. The kids loved the toys, and the adults loved the games and game rooms.
We only had two complaints: the dishwasher needs to be updated with a newer more efficient model. We spent a lot of time washing dishes before putting them in dishwasher. Also, the sink faucet needed an extension to help it reach both sinks.

Manager's Response

We had a great family weekend here!! We love coming every year for Rod Run!! The house is full of many great things!! We are looking forward to another great weekend next year!

A very comfy, relaxing space for a big family to share. Plenty to do for all age groups. The piano needs tuning, but I still enjoyed playing it. Only one fridge meant we had to keep icing additional coolers. I think it would really help to have a 2nd fridge. Folks loved being able to easily walk to grocery store and to activities in downtown Long Beach. the large garbage can outside was knocked over and strewn daily. I called and staff took care of this, but perhaps staff should automatically check it every morning. Thanks - we had a great time.

Manager's Response

We have stayed in the Mansion many times and have always been pleased with the facilities. There were new couches and love seats in the living room which were very comfortable. The number of bedrooms is just perfect for our needs and the beds are very comfortable. It is a great place to stay with lots of amenities.

Really enjoyed the home. It has some quirkiness that you might expect from an old home like outlets being scarce, especially in the kitchen. However the overall experience was perfect, the kids were happy, the adults were happy, everyone WAS HAPPY. Easy walk to the beach and 3 blocks from beach access road if you wanna drive your vehicle.

Manager's Response

We all loved our 4 night stay at the Bloomer Mansion. Four adults and 8 Grand children had a wonderful time enjoying the house and all the amenities on the Long Beach Peninsula. The children enjoyed the "Play closet" and games. The adults loved the large spaces, and great kitchen. We will definitely return again. The weather was even good enough in February to play in the ocean!

This place had it all and provided the gathering space for our family and the room for privacy when needed. Plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained and the yard was fantastic. The staff was very helpful and on point with anything needed. Can't wait to come back!

Manager's Response

This was our third stay with Bloomer Estates, the second at Bloomer Mansion. We had a wonderful time. The house is amazingly well-stocked and a wonderful gathering place for large groups. Having stayed at both Admiral and Bloomer, I prefer Bloomer for young children; Admiral is more spread out-which provides privacy for multiple families or older kids, but the common areas are smaller and less centralized. Between the 4 staircases and enormous common area at Bloomer, the kids could explore everywhere (and play an epic game of hide and seek) while still being within earshot of the adults. Chandy was wonderful- very kind and accommodating, and quick to resolve the couple of problems we encountered.

Manager's Response

This was our second time at the Bloomer Mansion, it is a great house for families to come together. Its a spacious kitchen for preparing big meals although we forgot to bring our big skillet this year and missed it. They even have a rice cooker. My husbands highlight was having the extended family around the big dining room table. The kids had a great time playing with all the toys and just running around the house. Great memories were made at the beach and riding bikes in the quiet neighborhood. Lots of amenities and we could see that there had been some needed upgrades since our last stay. Our experience with the property management has always been easy and friendly.

Manager's Response

Wonderful, spacious property, my second visit, suitable for small groups, close to most everything.
