Owl's Nest

Our family of 7 stayed at Owl's Nest over the Memorial Day weekend. Although we had hoped for good weather, it rained the entire three days. But with this rental, it really didn't matter. Why? Because it is so well set up for indoor fun for all ages. Amenities include a sauna, pool table, an awesome "man cave" projector system, a karaoke machine, a retro video game machine, a juke box full of 50s, 60s, and 70s music, a dart game, chess/checkers table and a popcorn machine.

If the sun HAD come out, we would have also enjoyed the firepit, horse shoe pit, bikes and fishing pools. Maybe next time (and yes, we will return again and again).

We had a great stay over a rainy weekend. The house had plenty for our whole family to enjoy for the weekend. The kids had a great time learning to play pool, watching movies on the projector, playing with the toys and doing karaoke.

We had a marvelous spring break at the Owl's Nest. The house was immaculate, and very comfortable for our party of 8. The views are amazing, and we loved having a telescope/monocular to watch a bald eagle perched on a pole near the beach. The walk to the beach was lovely, and we had a great day razor clamming, and flying kites. This house is equipped with 3 clam-guns, and 2 nets to put the clams. We enjoyed using the fire-ring, the sauna, and our pre-teens loved the pool table and juke box. Everything is in great working order, and a great time was had by all! We hope to come back soon!

This home is truly the best of the best in Long Beach. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view is spectacular all day long. The short walk to the beach makes it easy to enjoy. The owners obviously have pride in their home and do what they can to continue to upgrade the interior. Don’t pass up this home when you head to Long Beach. You won’t be disappointed with your stay.

Don’t want to say too much and make this place too popular to find availability, but it was awesome! Kids loved all the toys and the bunk beds. The pictures don’t do justice - you are really a very short stroll to the beach and it feels like you are right on it! Highly recommend it! No complaints at all, never saw any neighbors!

This house has everything you could want in a vacation home. In the 14+ years we have been staying in Long Beach this home is top of our list. It’s cozy with all the amenities. The view is spectacular in all weather. The short walk to the beach is perfect for a family. All the extra fun items in the house mean you never have to leave. Perfect getaway!

We absolutely loved our beach escape! The gloomy weather made it so we had the beach to ourselves and our pups got to run wild up and down the coastline chasing the little beach birds. Back at the house, we enjoyed the pool table, karaoke machine, and jukebox in the entertainment room. Our first night there, we checked in after dark and were thrilled to wake up in the loft the next morning to find we could watch the waves right out the windows!!! The kitchen is well equip and everything was very clean. We highly recommend stopping at the Long Beach Peninsula Trading Post just a mile or two up the road if you enjoy antiques. It was huge and had lots of great finds!! The Cove and the Depot restaurants were also fantastic and Adelaide's for coffee will start your morning off right.

The house was clean and had lots of fun things to keep us entertained, pool, music, beach, games, puzzles and more. The view was great.

A much needed getaway to the Long Beach Pennisula. Our first overnight trip in 8 months. Great views, direct beach access and room to relax indoors. The kitchen is well-equipped, there's a bathroom on every floor and the entertainment options in the basement are fabulous: pool table, jukebox, projection TV, karaoke machine & small arcade game. The house was so clean and well-maintained. We ordered takeout every night for dinner from local eateries--Lost Roo was a fave. Areas to improve--just small issues: The full & king bed might be a bit soft for some people's taste & we hope they will add a proper dining room table at some point--then it would be perfect.

We have stayed with Bloomer Estates before and we'll definitely use them again! Great Caring Staff! The homes are always top shelf, clean, nicely decorated, great location and well stocked. This one was missing a few things like; salt, a juice pitcher, tin foil, napkins, Pam spray for baking pans, pump didn't work to inflate bike tires...I may be a little spoiled but the places I tend to stay at are well stocked and I felt this one was a little overlooked. I didn't contact Bloomer Estates until several days into our visit and they offered to come right out with things but I told them we would make do and to just make sure the house was ready for the next guest. I appreciate their willingness to fix any problems immediately.
This house has lots of stairs so if you have a hard time with stairs look a little further or call Bloomer Estates and tell them your needs and they will find the perfect house for you.
One thing I would appreciate is to have a floor plan or at least an exact count of beds, their size and where they are located. When planning a trip with several family members, some very young and some very old it is nice to know if beds are near bathrooms and if there are stairs to get from bedrooms to main floors, kitchen, bathroom, outside, etc.
Overall this place was excellent! My family loved the jukebox and the 105" projection screen TV. It would be great if there were blackout curtains in the basement because you can't watch anything on the projection screen until after dark and in the summer that is quite late.
Thank You for the opportunity to make great family memories!!

Awesome 4 days vacation for our Tupuola Goodall Family. The house had all the commodities that we needed for entertaining our family especially teenagers or young adults. It was at a perfect location too, so private and peaceful. Other than that, my family had fun, loved the jukebox and especially the walk to the beach. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us.

We loved this cozy house, its comfortable layout and beds and access to the beach. Perfectly kid friendly with a fun downstairs movie room, bunk beds and fire pit for s'mores. View was unbeatable.

Overall this house worked well for the needs of our large group. The basement entertainment room worked great to entertain the kids and provide sleeping area. The downstairs entrance after clamming provided a good space to remove coats and boots, and store gear. I would recommend a larger kitchen table. The house sleeps 14 but has a table for 4. The bedrooms are average and there is no really nice master bedroom and bath. Ocean views are great and beach access is close. We would certainly consider this house for future rental.

It was a wonderful vacation the home was so inviting, and the views were amazing! The walk to the beach was so fun, we saw deer, eagles, and so many birds!!!! Thank you again and I would recommend this company to everyone!!!

House was as described. The beach was close and could be seen from the main floor and loft. Even had deer visit. Had one minor problem but we sent a text and got an immediate response with a quick resolution.

We stayed here as a gift to our employees and their family. The house was extremely well-equipped and full of entertainment. It's a great place for staying at least a week. We had a great time! Our only concern were sticker weeds so we couldn't go barefoot outside and had trouble with the tracking them inside but finally got everyone to remember to take their shoes off before they came in. Beautiful views and more of a private beach since it's 7 miles north of Long Beach. There would be no reason to be bored staying at this house!

What a wonderful property! No detail overlooked, every comfort we could have wanted. Loved having adult as well as kid space and the swings, slide and sandbox were a great touch.
Kathleen was a joy to work with, we can't wait to go back!
