Grey Gull

I loved it. You Cannot predict the weather on the Washington coast. Very few if any resorts have an outdoor ‘heated’ pool. The forecast for the week forecasted excellent weather. That did Not happen. I was there with my 4 grandchildren and daughter. That pool was a saving grace! They had the best time ever! I had envisioned daily treks down the resorts trail to the beach with picnic supplies and daily adventures. It only happened once with magnificent pictures of kite flying amongst heavy fog. It was glorious even though it was only happened the one time. Will I plan it again?? AbSoLuTeLy..!!!!!

I did not want to leave! The place was clean and cozy with so many thoughtful touches. The bed was so, so comfirtable. The kitchen was well stocked with all the appliances and tools and dishes I might need. They even had a bag for our dog with a blanket, towels, food bowls and treats to make her feel at home. The walk to the beach starts like a trip through a magical forest, but in the wet season, bring your boots! Love it! It rained our whole visit and the fireplace was very much appreciated. Even our dog was so well behaved uncharacteristically quiet. She was clearly so happy there as well.

Very cozy apartment, great fireplace, on the upper floor so there was actually a bit of a water view, unlike most of Ocean Shores dune hotels. Kitchen well stocked, everything was clean, armchair was very comfy, smart tv was appreciated! The hot tub was on and available for use (outdoor) even in Dec, though I didn't use it. Grey Gull is predictable and comfortable; I've stayed many times.

Wonderful bed and bedding. Very quiet.. We had been traveling a week prior and stayed at motels so it was great to have room to stretch out and do a load of laundry. Bathroom and shower were good. We also walked to the local IGA And purchased some groceries and deli items to have meals. There were plenty of pans and utensils for preparing meals. There was a keurig in the room with coffee supplies and more coffee supplies available in the lobby, there were also DVDs you could check out to watch. It is my understanding that they’re all privately owned so each one could be a little different. We stayed in room 111. There was a walking pier by the beach two doors down at the Shiloh but we had socked in fog and rain the day we stayed so we’re not able to visit the beach. There was a pool, spa, sauna outside bbq area that we also didn’t utilize due to the weather. All the staff we came across were so helpful with guiding us toward places to go and things to do. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Good customer service is harder and harder to get these days, but they did a stellar job.

We had a room with a view, but the view was a distance from the beach. We had a third floor room with no pets in the vicinity. (This was excellent for us.). The sauna experience was clean and comfortable, the best sauna we ever had at a hotel. The hotel operated as a true resort - the pool was actually heated warm, chidren were restricted from the hot tub and sauna and the hours were from 10 am - 10 pm - no exceptions! The room was actually an apartment and was very spacious. The kitchen was fully equipped and also a good size. There were towels for the pool and in the sauna. In the lobby there were hot drinks - coffee, tea, apple cider and hot chocolate. Walking distance to the beach was not far. There was a DVD player and a good selection of DVDs. We had a wonderful time and certainly will stay the Grey Gull if and when we return to Ocean Shores. Thank you to our check in hostess and the very friendly and helpful staff!
