“John was nice enough to let us use his ev charger. Thanks again”

“Finally found this tiny 4-unit motel in the tiny town of Moclips. Quickly booked a room on-line before this motel also sold out. Received a friendly email from John, one of the owners, and we were on our way. Arrived, finally. It is a bit of a tough place to find, but John was right: just look for the metal viewing tower sticking up out of the horizon. I had booked the smallest unit and upon seeing it, inquired if there was a larger unit. We were SO LUCKY. There was, the one on the corner. Hurray! Main squeeze could sleep in and I, early morning coffee addict, could stealthily close the bedroom door and have the kitchen and living room all to myself. Perfect #1. Perfect #2: Fresh beans for grinding for my coffee. Great French press, unlike any I had ever seen. (Really coveted this. I told Carla, the other owner of this wife and husband super couple, that I truly wanted to nick it, but would not. And, I didn't, but made her promise, absent breakage, that it would be there when we returned!) This motel is SPOTLESS. And, there is just about anything you could ever need, from the dog sandy towels and the sand brush just outside your door, to enough DVD's to keep you glaze-eyed. Everything is carefully positioned, with notes - which we appreciated, as we looked for something and couldn't find it until we READ THE NOTE, stupid. (Stupid is my language, definitely not the owners.) So, Perfect #3. Great beach, easy access, good walking. High metal tower for viewing - and, as Carla said, for safety if a tsunami ever threatened. Perfect #4. Restaurant at Ocean Crest Resort is not far. Indeed, by walking the beach, we found that we could walk there in 20 minutes. However, we had dinner there, and it was dark, so we drove, not wanting to chance unsure footing at night. Food was wonderful. Perfect #4. Local museum with an absolutely terrific collection, including a couple of Carla's clothing restorations - a wedding dress from the history of Moclips that she restored and framed. You have to see it and the museum. Carla is an artistic genius; you can see that in the shop she has and in every item on the walls of your unit. Perfect #5. John and Carla have created a piece of vacation paradise. This place stands by its own. Real, friendly, scrupulously maintained, and such a pleasure in which to stay. We consider ourselves lucky, lucky, lucky to have stayed here. It was the first time; it will not be the last! Show less Stayed: July 2018, traveled as a couple”

“This is an amazing place! Across the street from the beach with easy access. Owner is very friendly and EV accommodating (they should be -- they drive a BMW i3!). Great value for cute beach lodging, and a great hub to be able to ev-xplore the Olympic Peninsula.”
