Great Stay!

I wanted to get away by myself for a couple of days since I knew the weather was going to be nice. Checking in was very easy, and Adam was very nice. My room was exceptional! It was very clean and homey. Very nicely decorated. I didn't know this until I got there, but these are individually owned condos. I was expecting a typical room at a hotel. Not my room! It was very well decorated with warmth and comfort. Someone made a room with a purpose. Great view, especially at sunset! Nothing negative to say about this place. My room was also very quiet. Ocassional hallway folks, but nothing to get excited about. The only thing I'd suggest would be to increase the hot tub temp and check the jets, as they were very weak. 5 stars for me and will be coming back.

The 2 br, 3rd fl unit had views all around and was sunny and bright. Fireplace was a nice touch. Unit was dog-friendly but you couldn’t tell. A little dated but very clean and well maintained. Pool was nice and warm but there weren’t any games to borrow and videos were rentals. Trails to beach were still underwater from winter rains so driving was necessary. Lots of fun family activities for the whole family in Ocean Shores!

Just fell in love with Ocean Shores. Glad Canterbury was our spot. Loved having first floor access to the grass for the dog. Easy stay, clean, everything you need and you can drive on the beach right down the street for miles. Definitely recommended and definitely will be back. Curious to see what the other first floor units look like.
