Nice Place to Stay

October 2024

Beautiful views. It’s a short, pleasant hike to the beach.

Overall a good stay

October 2024

Overall a good stay. Has its own trail to the beach. The fire pit available was filled with water and it’s attached to cement so there was no way to drain and use. Kitchen had all the supplies we needed.

This place was great

August 2024

Overall

This place was great for the most part! The biggest issue is the septic system is only supposed to hold about 70gal/day. You have to be mindful of using too much water and setting off the alarm. Our group of 6 didn't feel we could all shower in the same day. It also limits how much laundry you can do. The listing says a 1 minute walk to the beach. Its about a 10 minute walk on a very steep path. There is public beach access a couple blocks away if you are limited mobility. The best things about this house were the plethora of games. The ping-pong table, foosball table, and mini basketball hoop in the basement kept the kids busy for hours. They have so many board and card games to choose from. Outside the volleyball net and horseshoes were a favorite. We used the fire pit in the back yard several nights to make s'mores. They supply a large number of sand toys and even some kites for beach going. Overall this house provided everything we needed and we would rent it again

We had a great time and the house was perfect for our multi-generational getaway. Everyone was comfortable and we were able to have local family (2 cousins and one of their spouses) join us one of the days. There was room for everyone to visit, have a meal together. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable and it we all slept well. Thanks for hosting us!

Clamming Trip

April 2024

Overall

First Mates Cottage is a very roomy very clean house, nice and close to good clamming beach area's and our favorite store 'Jack's Country Store'. If you are coming to clam, they have 8 clam guns, altho they aren't the best. They have games for kids. A very big yard and hot tub. Be sure to bring your own presto logs as they only supply two and they are very expensive to purchase on the coast. We were allowed an early check in which was great, fee charged but fine with us. No late check out as they had contractor's coming but again worked out fine as we needed to be on the beach by (am for the clam tide. Can't go wrong with First Mate's, I just wish they had better signage at the entrance to the driveway, and both ways. We missed it every time coming from the beach because the speed limit is 50, so people are right up on you as you are slowly trying to find your turn.

Well-Equipped and Very Comfortable

December 2023

Overall

The house was well equipped and very comfortable. Plenty of space, with a well furnished play room in the basement, ping pong, basketball, fuse ball, a great add for the those rainy days. The property stands pretty far back from the water, I would say 300 yards, and the tree lines on both sides obscure any sort of panoramic view, but nonetheless it is an ocean front view. The seas are very rough, creating a constant hum, which is pleasant. It is off season, which we knew wouldn’t be ideal for spending time on the beach, but we enjoyed the site seeing just the same. There are two quaint little centers, with some decent restaurants, and a bakery.

Great stay!

HUGE spacious home!

August 2023

House is very well maintained and super clean! Watch out for pokeys in the grass play area-NOT kid or dog friendly. We learned quickly to skirt that area. Quite a long walk to beach, but beautiful! The hot tub was sublime! Careful with the lid of hot-tub, it’s very heavy and hard to close-but worth it!

Great place to stay. Bbq fresh seafood on the back deck then walk to the beach. This house also has ample parking which I needed for the boat and truck.

far exceeded expectations

August 2023

Overall
5

There are too many plus’s to capture but communication far exceeded expectations - instructions, etc - everything and more you could ask for. The house is huge and has everything you could possibly think of or may contemplate thinking of. The private path to the beach is my favourite. A quick walk and hello beach! My dogs LOVED it. We didn’t use the games room but this space is perfect for families with kids. Everything was easy. We kept our dogs on leashes in the yard - there’s no fence but my dogs don’t leave my side anyway - but there little thistles in the grass (everywhere there) that get stuck in the dogs feet so just be mindful to watch where your pets roam. I loved the view of the house and loved the proximity of the beach. Town is just a short drive away!

We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay! Huge yard, spacious house, nice hot tub, & a peaceful walk to the beach. We saw lots of wildlife from the house! The beach is stunning & our kids loved building castles, flying kites & exploring the dunes. Lots to do in the neighboring area. We’ll definitely be back!

This was our second stay here. Such a comfortable home, easy to get to and private. Pro tip if you have neck issues you might need your own pillow. Everything was just what we needed! Thanks! We had a wonderful trip!

BEST PLACE EVER!!!

This Airbnb is the best one I’ve ever stayed at! It’s better than advertised. There is a private driveway to the property. The house is well taken care of with thoughtful amenities throughout the house - fire logs for the indoor fireplace, k cups (saved the day for us!), clam guns, volleyballs, outdoor hose, and beach towels by the back door. The bathrooms had plenty of towels and toiletries. The beds were comfy and there was a ton of extra blankets. The grill worked great, had propane and was clean. You really can’t beat the awesome yard that has a path to the beach. We had an incredible stay with our pup and friends. We will definitely be back and feel lucky to have stayed at the place!

We enjoyed our stay here. No real issues, host was responsive and accommodating for a late checkout. Easy beach access and stocked kitchen with pans and utensils. A little outdated with some minor things that could use some fixing but overall it fit our whole family for a clam dig weekend so no real complaints.

The kitchen had all of the amenities needed and little things like a basket of beach/hot tub towels by the door made it feel like home. Beautiful view, easy walk to the beach, easy drive to town for shopping and food. Our host was always responsive, friendly and helpful. Look forward to visiting again. Thank you for the great time!

We stayed at Robbie’s place for six nights with our son and his family. The location was so perfect because it was an easy walk to the beach with our little grandkids (2 and 4). The expansive sandy beach provided hours of entertainment for the little ones. The kitchen is well stocked, though we did have to buy a fry pan because the ones there were terrible. It would be good to replace those. All of the appliances were fine, it was very handy to have a good washer and dryer. We slept in the king bed on the main floor and it was super comfortable. Bedding was great; there was a variety of blankets. We brought our own pillows, which I was glad about because we are picky about pillows. I would definitely recommend Robbie’s place.

The house has plenty of room, the kids love the game room in basement, the walk to the beach is not too far. The only complaint has to do with the hot tub. The cover has 4 holes underneath that have been plugged by tape and various plumbing plugs. One of the plugs that was glued in came out and little styrofoam beads went everywhere! But overall an older but great spot to stay if you need plenty of room

Manager's Response

Hi Aaron, we are so happy you enjoyed First mate and especially the game room. We have a fix for the hot tub lid and we have resolved this issue. Thanks for letting us know.

Overall it was great. Needs some work and some items added to really have it nice. We added a dish/pot scrubber and sponge. It should have a larger non-stick pan for eggs and stir fry. The screen doors should be WD-40 treated or updated. These are little things. The location is very good and a nice short walk to the beach.

My parents, grown siblings, children and spouses gathered in this house for a lovely long weekend gathering. The house is comfortable, has room for all to spread out, and has lots to do inside and out. Long beach often has overcast weather, so having the indoor games (foosball, ping pong and board games) made it so we always had something to do, and we could continually switch which members of the family we were hanging out with. We loved being able to do outside activities in the yard, and to easily walk to the beach. As a huge bonus, it is also possible to drive a few minutes away to the beach. This was helpful if we had lots of stuff we wanted to bring, but also helpful as both of my parents have mobility issues. The walkers and the drivers could meet up on the beach with ease (driving on the beach is allowed in Long Beach). The house is generally in good shape - it's just not new or fancy, but it is comfortable, which was perfect for us. I would definitely recommend staying here, and we will look to the house and the company again in the future.

Manager's Response

Hello Cicily, the First Mates Cottage is a great place to host a family get together. A great location that allows guests to experience all that Long Beach has to offer. We look forward to having you back soon. Please come see us again.

My sister and I took our families here for five nights at Christmas and it was wonderful. Giant yard and hot tub and short trail to the beach (5-8 minute walk). View of ocean is good from main floor and very good from bedroom on top floor. Well-stocked kitchen and tons of seating. Beds were good. Basement area was fantastic for the kids. My 90 year old dad used bedroom on main floor and bathroom on that floor was great for him with easy access shower. We will be back!

I felt like I stepped back in time to my best friend’s house back in the Midwest! It is definitely dated in terms of decor and general style, but it was clean, cozy, spacious, and had a wonderful airy-ness. The hot tub was perfection after dunking in the cold ocean. The upstairs bedroom has gorgeous wood paneling and an extraordinary view! A short walk from the beach where we found ourselves mostly alone - a true private walk to a nearly private beach - the best!

Manager's Response

Hi Renee, what a nice review. And you hit the nail on the head. The owner is a rancher in Wyoming and brought the furniture out, so you are exactly right-like a friends house in the midwest! We like to think each of our homes are special in its own way. I am happy you liked this.

We spent a long week here before school started. Such a great location. The walk to the beach was 5 minutes and a lovely winding path my dog and children enjoyed immensely. The house is large with plenty of room to spread out. The decor is lacking and needs some updating. Very 1991. Even a fresh coat of paint would help! Very clean and quiet.

Manager's Response

Hi Jessica, thanks so much for your review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and all the amenities of the home. Some people love the 1990s decor (it is a vacation rental) but the owners are looking into updating the house over time. Paint is easy, so that is something we can work on over the winter months.


We do hope to see you again soon.

This is a great vacation spot! Enough bedrooms for the whole family and if doing a family reunion, you could rent the cabin next door too! It's about a 1/3 mile to the beach from the house, but it made for a great walk each day (actually, a couple of times each day). There was a working grill on the deck and the kitchen had everything we needed. The washing machine and dryer were helpful for wet, sandy clothes. We would come back to this rental!

Our 3 generation, beach Christmas gathering at "1st Mates Cottage" was a grand experience. Our young & older all enjoyed the vast amount of space on 3 levels. Plenty of living room seating for all of us with the old pup in the middle! The hot tub was a real treat (plenty of tub towels in addition to bathroom towels),loved the light show! Rec-room too was a treat. Cooking our meals in the large, well equipped kitchen was a breeze. Being winter at the beach in Washingtion, we still enjoyed both decks and their views (between the gales!), top deck was the favorite. Most of us walked out to the beach several times a day as the path was clear & easy. Grandfather reveled in tending the fireplace our entire stay. Our aged, chubby labrador has issues with stairs so the large main floor bedroom was perfect for her (& us in the king bed). Mud-laundry room was greatly utilized and idealy located, definatly a plus for our wet winter stay. Everything was clean, tidy & ready to move in & enjoy. We do so hope to come stay here again, perhaps before next winter!

Love this beach house. Everything is perfect.

Clean and spacious rental. Our family was able to spread out and enjoy all of the various activities throughout the house & property. The kitchen is fully stocked. Beds were comfortable. The ocean was a pleasant 5 min walk. Beautiful beach, ocean and landscape. The town of Long Beach was a short drive away and it was a really fun town. Nice firepit with benches surrounding it. Before our visit, I had to contact the agency with questions and they got back to me quickly and were great to work with.
I do wish they recycled. Another garbage can outside is needed (it was half full when we got there as it was). The foos ball table was broken, basketball game did not work and there was only 1 horse shoe, but those things were negligible compared to everything else.
As a whole, the rental was fantastic and our family thoroughly enjoyed our experience there. Definitely hope to return!!

What a great place to relax and enjoy the laidback vibe of Long Beach Peninsula! Wonderful gathering areas to do puzzles, games, enjoy the fire, and well stocked and open kitchen to create a meal with more than one cook! Relaxed in the hot tub (although a roof would be nice in the pouring rain :), strolled down the private path to the beach, enjoyed downtown Long Beach, and 5 of us comfortably watched football in the living room! We will definitely be back!

Manager's Response

Thanks so much and we hope to have you back soon. There is a bit of a trade-off on the roof for the hot tub. while it would provide great rain protection, in the summer you won't be able to sit in the hot tub under the stars. Either way, we will ask future guests what they prefer.

We had a great time at First Mate's Cottage! The house was clean and the beds were very comfortable. A short walk to the beach and a view of the ocean in the master bedroom. The best stocked kitchen I have ever seen. We stay at the coast at least once a year in different areas and this house was one of our favorites. We did have a mishap with the bbq and my daughters didn't pull the bbq out from the wall before cooking and it damaged the house. Kathleen was so nice to work with and even though it was an expense we were not expecting she softened the blow. Very nice people. We will be staying again...well hopefully if they will allow us;)

Manager's Response

Hi Maggie, thanks so much for taking care of the issue with the house and we were more than happy to soften the blow for you. Of course you are always more than welcome back!

This home was clean, well stocked and situated in a very quiet and relatively private neighborhood. The ocean pathway was easy and fun. The home satisfied our variety of "must have's". For seven adult wishes for: unobstructed view / ocean front, hot tub, complete kitchen, fire pit (w/wood) deck, wi-fi and tv, clean. At the start of our stay the main water line broke in town. The Boomer's management and staff immediately supplied us with two cases of drinking water and additional jugs of drinking water. Management followed up by keeping us posted and making sure we were hooked up again asap. Great stay. All seven adults and two dogs ENJOYED!

Manager's Response

Thanks for the lovely feedback Laura. While we can't control a water main breaking, we can do everything in our power to accommodate our guests! We hope to see you again soon.

This is the third year in a row that we have rented this home. It is perfect for our family. When you have to find accommodations for children and grandchildren and dogs, there are very few options available. The home is well-maintained with many conveniences included--right down to bowls, plates, and silverware. There's also coffee in the cupboard. This is very important when you roll out of the bed in the morning and have forgotten to bring your own coffee.
There's a short walk to the beach which is also a plus--especially for oldsters like us!
We love this place!

We rented the house for two couples and one dog. We had plenty of space! What I noticed right away in this home was that it is very clean. I felt comfortable walking in my bare feet. Also, the kitchen is spacious and well appointed. We had some bad weather while we were there but the house was cozy and we enjoyed working with a few puzzles that were there. I give a big thumbs up to the owners for the artwork and furnishings. Nobody likes to stay at a rental when it feels like there are just a lot of "leftovers". This house has just the right about of homey-ness. We truly enjoyed our stay. Oh and the hot tub was awesome as well...nicely maintained!!

Generally quite comfortable. Deck safety questionable for toddlers due to poor maintenance of gates and rails.The close proximity of the rental next door detracted from this unit due to the arrival of any extremely large and noisy group.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review, the deck is safe and up to code there is also a lock on the gate. This home is located in a very nice area surrounded by an ocean view and trees, there are houses on either side but we can not control our neighbors if we are unaware, had you called we could have contacted any noisy neighbors and remedied any issue.

Awesome stay. We had 2 family's with 7 people total and 2 smaller dogs and there was plenty of room and we never felt crowded. The trail to the beach was easily to walk and well marked even to walk back after dark. It was well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The only thing that was missing was salt. With all the other spices that were provided I'm guessing this was just missed and it didn't hinder us at all. We brought a lot of our own spices for cooking but of course we forgot salt too. It happens.

Manager's Response

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Yes, we normally stock salt and pepper, along with a lot of other amenities not on our website. You are right, an oversite on our side, and I promise you, the net time you come, the salt will be there : )

We had a wonderful experience staying at First Mate's Cottage for my 40th birthday. We had a large group of 20 people so we also rented the Admiral House next door in order to accommodate all of us. These houses together were a perfect fit for our group. The large yard at First Mate was great for the kids to run around while the adults lounged in the chairs provided. The house was clean and offered all the kitchen amenities needed. We had so much fun in the rec room downstairs playing ping pong and Foosball. You do need to walk along a private trail to get to the beach but this seems pretty common in the Long Beach area and was not a problem for our group. Bloomer Estates was very helpful in suggesting houses that would accommodate our large group.

What a great experience! This was the first time our family has rented a house. It was so nice to have the comforts of home. The home allowed for individual space as well as great family space. The pleasant surprise was the home had clamming gear. We were so excited to go clamming. The home was very close to the ocean but most times we chose to drive to the beach. The clamming was great! We had never clammed before but quickly learned. Even our youngest 6 was right in the middle of the action. Our only complains were minor. The TV remote in the main room didn't work but we quickly found that if we took one from another room it would work. The beds were also in need of replacement. They did not bother me the first day but by the fourth I was ready for my own. Also as some else mentioned the fire place would not stay lit. We even pulled out our super secret Boy Scout skilles and it would not stay lit to enjoy. It was such a shame since there was plenty of fire wood. Over all a great experience that will be changing the way our family vacations.

Manager's Response

Thank your for your review, Clamming on the peninsulas is such a fun experience we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. We will look into replacing the remote for the living room TV and see what can be done with the mattresses, for your future endeavors with Bloomer Estates please do not hesitate to call with and questions or concerns, we would have gladly brought over some fire starter to help get that going.

Very comfortable house for our 8 adults & 2 kids. Volleyball was a great hit - unfortunately the horseshoes were missing so we bought our own so we could play. We've been coming to the area for years and we like this location - close enough to everything without being right in town. We can't endorse the bottom futon in the basement room - very thin mat on large round rails made it impossible for the 13 yr old to sleep on it or it was the couch for her! I've spoken to management and I really hope the problem can be corrected before we return! And speaking of downstairs, there were no screens on any of the windows so nobody was comfortable having them open in case of bugs and little critters.

One thing I love about a Bloomer Estates house,.. I know it will be clean and accommodating with the cooking supplies that I need.
This home was very well stocked. The big yard with a path to the beach is a plus. Plenty of parking and fairly private. We loved the house. Very "homey" feeling. There were seven adults. We could sit in the living area and watch football games or sit at the dining table and play cards and still all be together.
During the winter, some heat in the basement might be nice. It was kind of chilly down there.

We at Bloomer Estates thrive to make our guest feel as if they were staying at their second home with all the accommodations needed to enjoy a wonderful vacation, we do have portable heaters available as well, please always feel free to call, no reasonable request will be refused.

Loved our stay at First Mate! It was a great place for two families to enjoy a few days at the beach together. The kitchen is well equipped with all of the utensils, cookware and dishes needed to cook for a few or many. The layout of the house was great, and we especially enjoyed the ability to walk out the back door to the beach! The yard is huge, and a great place for kids to play when not at the beach. The game room and hot tub provided bonus fun too. ☺️
