Calder Beachfront Retreat

Five "seasoned" friends spent a couple of days at the Caulder Beach House. It was wonderful and way too short of a time. There were plenty of places to sleep and no shortage of bathrooms. The house itself smelled clean as soon as you walked in the door and everyone thought the house was magnificent. It had a fabulous view and a very short walk to the beach. We will certainly rebook again and this time for a longer stay. Thank you, Amber, for staying in touch and "walking me through" everything. This was my first time of booking myself and it couldn't have been easier!

The house is situated on a private road with a path to the beach...PERFECT! It is also just a short drive into the town of Long Beach...PERFECT! You can see the ocean from the house...PERFECT!

Lovely, well maintained and well supplied house in spectacular beach location with sweeping ocean views. This house is comfortable and very private. The path through the dunes is quite well kept and wide enough that two people can walk side by side. As beach paths go, this one is a super highway.

Amazing place with amazing views!

We had a wonderful vacation with wonderful accommodations! What a great company to rent from! We will definitely be back! Thank you Bloomer Estates for making our stay easy!

Simply amazing home at the end of a private lane. Inside and outside were the best we have ever stayed and we have stayed in a couple dozen rental vacation homes. Best ever!

We had a good stay. House is very clean, well kept and stocked. House does have an ocean view, but a 4 min walk to the beach (may be appropriate to put this in a description). A few improvement might also help to attract and retain repeated guests:
- 2 beds downstairs can hold children but not adults (shaky, wably)
- yard maintenance Crue must not show up unexpectedly, open garage door and have access to house. Move in/out day should be plenty to do yard work.
- path is shared with an apartments up the street and people go through yard, may be a "no trespassing" or "privet road" sign is warranted

Overall its a great "remote" location for those who crave solitude.

Exactly as described, and stunningly beautiful! Perfect for two families, the toy closet is amazing! We will definitely be back!

Very private spot, as close as one can get in Long Beach however it is a small walk if you have mobility issues. Lots of wildlife including bald eagles, friendly deer and heard coyotes at night. Close to town and amenities. House immaculate and one of the best equipped ones we rented. Many options inside for even bad weather days. House close to all sites one may want to see, would highly recommend.

The house is so beautiful and clean. We enjoyed sunset from the house. It was amazing. Spacious room for 2 families 8 people. Short, easy and private walking path to the beach. The game room and equipments in the garage kept kids busy. My little one asked if we can get a foosball table at home as well.

We had a very peaceful relaxing weekend away in a beautiful clean house that was well equipped for activity it was great thank you

Calder Beachfront Retreat was in great condition and well stocked. Management was responsive. Enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

This lovely house (Calder Beachfront Retreat) felt like home — light, bright, perfectly decorated and outfitted to relax and enjoy. The house is like new and impeccably clean. The kitchen was a delight with an abundance of appliances to make cooking fun while enjoying the view across the dunes to the ocean. Our group of 3 adults even enjoyed the “toys” in the garage — basketball, foos ball, ping-pong when it rained, and when the sun warmed our last two days we ate breakfast on the deck and walked the wide, mowed path through the dunes to the beach. Slept like babies with the sound of the surf in the distance. Location was great to explore Oysterville, Long Beach, and Ilwaco and the lighthouse there, and a short drive to Seaside and Cannon Beach. We had a wonderful 5-night stay and would return to this house in an instant!

This was a wonderful property, accurately described, very private from neighbors, beautiful ocean view and a easy drive to town. Staff was quick to provide us with a baby gate when we requested. We would definitely stay here again.

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!

Manager's Response

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.

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!

Manager's Response

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!

Manager's Response

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.

Manager's Response

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.

Manager's Response

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!
