We wanted a relaxing destination for our Summer vacation this year and China Beach fit the bill perfectly. We stayed at the Audubon Cottage next to the China Beach house and had an amazing stay! The outdoor deep soaker tub was incredibly relaxing and the home itself was as close to perfect as we could've hoped for. We spent our... More

My sweetie and I were looking for a secluded place to spend our birthdays, two days apart. The reviews on TripAdvisor steered us to the China Beach Retreat. When we first drove down the driveway we knew we were home; a most stunning spot in the middle of some of the most beautiful coastal scenery the NW has to offer.... More

We are presently staying there with my brother and his wife, and we are so enjoying everything about it! We live in Florida, and to be lucky enough to have perfect weather on the Washington Coast is a miracle in itself. Make sure you plan for dinner at the Shelburne Inn, as it is excellent. We would highly recommend it!

We recently stayed at China Beach Retreat with two other couples. Several years ago we had a wonderful stay at the Shelburne Inn (same owners) and so were very much looking forward to our stay at China Beach and if possible, enjoyed it even more. We occupied the first floor bedroom, with adjoining bath (with jacuzzi tub for two) and... More

The location is great. On a clear day (which we enjoyed) you can see the Coast range in Oregon. The furnishings are beautiful, yet homey. I have never stayed in a place with such artwork on the walls. Our bedroom had a great view of the tidelands and the bay, and the bed was excellent. Although we did little cooking,... More

I loved waking up and looking out the windows at the birds and the water. It is very peaceful and relaxing. I highly recommend this lovely spot to anyone.

Obviously the inn keepers paid serious attention to what guests might need or want: lavender soap next to the whirlpool tub, high grade knives in a kitchen drawer, easy chairs facing lovely, peaceful, gently changing tide flats, tastefully chosen furniture...all betray the sensitive and intelligent and creative minds of the hosts. We want to come back. Again and again and... More

This is a special place. We went in November when the weather wasn't good but it was still lovely. The China Beach Retreat is so private facing a marsh at the mouth of the Columbia with the Pacific ocean in the background. It was a bird watchers paradise. Lots of room with a large living room and kitchen and dining... More

What a treasure! Our party consisted of two couples exploring several areas in Oregon and Washington. After two nights lodging in rather busy coastal towns, the quiet ambiance of China Beach was a welcome respite. The 1900ish home is lovingly restored. The bedrooms are a cozy, luxurious step back in time. Thoughtful touches abound. The common living room and sitting... More
