Calder Beachfront Retreat

This home was everything we could have hoped for in a Long Beach getaway. Views of the grasses across to the beach. An easy walk to a lovely beach. Privacy was great with only a few homes on either side and far away. The upper floor is so wonderful with a huge cooking/eating bar - plenty for 2 or 3 to work in and prepare lovely meals. A large gathering table, in our case we had a crab feed with people inside and outside on the deck. There was a provided bbq to grill. So many pots and pans to choose from and a spice drawer in case we needed something. The flooring is nice and easy to clean and rooms are all spacious. If you want to settle in to a place, do some beaching, be able to do some cooking, laundry, just be very comfortable this is it. It was nice to have the young boys all downstairs in the room with the 3 twin beds. You can also pull out the trundle for a 4th bed downstairs. Lots of parking too. As far as recommendations for a restaurant... we loved Salt down in Ilwaco! Fun to walk the docks and look at the boats and the salmon fishers coming in with their catch. We splurged on this house...but in the long run it made it worth it for our comfort for the whole family! Dabra, at Bloomer Estates was so nice and helpful with the calls we made to get the TV set up.

Our family loves coming to this home. It is immaculately clean and very well stocked. The playroom for the little ones is such an added bonus.

The beach is a short and easy walk away and the views are lovely!. It is by far one of the nicest homes we have rented!

We really enjoyed the home, it was clean, roomy and fun. There were 6 of us, including friends from the east coast, and we had room to spare. The only downside to the weekend was the actual distance to the beach. (The photos are a bit misleading) It was a long walk, which we were not expecting, as we had a guest with us with limited mobility. She was only able to make one trip to the beach during our visit, which wasn’t ideal. Maybe consider changing some wording or imagery to prepare people for the walk to the beach. Other than that, the week was a success and we were very happy with the house itself.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Calder Beachfront Retreat. Everything about the property was 5-star, we highly recommend it to anyone, especially with a large family with kids or grandkids. You won't be disappointed.

The house is clean and in a good location. The area is beautiful. However, if you are planning to work and are relying on the Wi-Fi for remote work on school then I suggest you look at other alternatives. Our Family booked the special of "book 4 nights and get 3 nights free". We called to make sure that the wi-fi was good for remote work before making the booking. However, we had plenty of wi-fi issues and had to cut short our trip and get back home. It's a pity we didn't get to enjoy as much as we had hoped.

Beautiful Home!! We have stayed at other properties through Bloomer Estates in the past with good experiences. This year we chose the Calder Beach house and it was nothing short of fantastic! Our family is still talking about it weeks later. Lots of great memories and no complaints whatsoever. We will definitely be booking this home again next year! Thank you Bloomer Estates and their staff for good customer service. Especially Dabra for going above and beyond with any issues that came up. Highly recommended! Thanks again guys

Our midweek stay at the Calder House was lovely. We wanted to find a house with Ocean beach access that provided everything we needed for our 4 day anniversary trip to the Long Beach Penninsula. The Calder House provided that in every way. The location, home and updated decor were first rate. The two of us enjoyed the privacy, security and ammenities, and while we did not use all that was provided, I am sure a family with kids would appreciate the toy closet, game tables, kite and beach toys. Good internet connection. Kitchen had everything needed. House was super clean. Quality linens and towels. Sturdy, safe deck. Professional, maintained landscaping. Two suggestions - Specify location of lock box to renter. We had to call to find it. Entertainment system for TV, VCR etc. is up to date, but a summary sheet with "how to operate" components might help. We did not find it intuitive. Overall, just a very enjoyable stay at a well-maintained home. Hope to get back again someday.

The stay was great and the weather really cooperated for three of the four days. The house was great and the kitchen was well equipped for preparing good meals. We went to the fish market in Ilwaco twice and prepared two great dinners from the freshly caught king cod. We got to spend time walking the beach and exploring the peninsula. Would go back at the drop of a hat.

We celebrated our 40th anniversary at Calder BF retreat! This is an awesome home. It has been completely updated, beautiful home. The kitchen is great, well stocked. Bloomer Estates handled everything professionally. They do a great job keeping their rentals clean and always have responded quickly if there is a issue. We will definitely be back!

Home was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Amazing location and view. Short path to the beach. We will definitely be back and recommend to our friends. Nice getaway, especially during this pandemic.

Manager's Response

This house was pure perfection. It was deeply clean and full of fun things to do!! It is the perfect getaway for a beautiful summer day or a rainy winter day. The kids were in heaven with all of the toys available, and the parents were in heaven with all that kept the kids busy. It feels very private and safe and the trail to the beach is like you’re in a fairytale!

This home is beautifully decorated, clean, and has everything you need for a wonderful stay. The views are beautiful and the walk to the beach is simple. Dabra was friendly and very quick to respond when we called. We have already booked another stay at this beautiful property.

This home was perfect for six adults and one child. It is beautiful, private and so well equipped with everything you could need. From extra plug-ins for phones, an extra fridge (much needed), make up mirror, toy closet with tons of fun kid stuff. I could go on and on. Love the path to the beach right out your door.

We stayed at the Calder beachfront retreat in September 2020 for 4 days and had a marvelous time. The house is perfectly situated for easy beach access, glorious sunsets (weather permitting!) and quick access to town. The house is comfortable and the kitchen deserves high marks for being so well-equipped. Well-stocked game/puzzle closet and ping-pong in the garage was an added bonus. Would/will very happily return again, hopefully soon.

We stayed in the house with our son's family. The view from the upstairs is amazing. The short walk to the Discovery Trail and an even shorter walk to the beach it was perfect. Everything you could want - even a game room.

Manager's Response

The house was amazing. Well stocked kitchen & kids play room, plenty of seating, & entertaining games in the garage. Pack n play and booster seat came in handy. The beach was about 1/4 of a mile walk through the grassy dunes. We had few people pass by us on foot & several vehicles. The nearest person to us was 200 yards away. We had plenty of room and space. We would definitely stay here again if we go back to Long Beach.

Manager's Response

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It has a great view of the ocean, is a short walk to the beach and is super cozy. We had two toddlers with us who loved all the toys in the game closet and DVDs. I especially liked the lovely, well-equipped kitchen.

Manager's Response

Vacationed with family and the home was immaculate and extremely well stocked! We were the first guests following an extensive remodel and were very happy. The managers were extremely responsive and accommodating. The "toy room" was a dream for my 10yr old great niece. I would definitely recommend this rental. The only thing we could come up with that would have made it better is a hot tub since the WA coast is so cold!
