    Hey Everyone,

    I'm looking at vacation properties up in Ocean Shore, WA and wanted your opinion regarding the town/area for those that visited or live there? I am fully aware of it raining virtually every other day in the Northwest. I've worked in Portland/Seattle area, so I'm familiar of the territory, but not Ocean Shore.

    I've read reviews of it being a nice get away spot, but lacking grocery stores/restaurants and my be an hour drive to the next major chain. Trying to gauge if this is a good move to acquire property up there and possibly renting it out when I'm not using it. Or if I should look elsewhere? I will probably head up there to visit, if I can find a property I really like, but want to make sure I'm looking at the right area before visiting it.

    I'm also open to other recommended lake/ocean properties too if you guys have better reasonable areas ($300Kish) to purchase as vacation property and possibly rent.

    Thanks!

    I know many folks in Seattle and around that go there for two reasons: it’s the closest shot to the open ocean, and because they have a casino there. I would think you could get traffic based on just that.

    I had a friend with a house in Ocean Shore when I was in the navy 20+ years ago. It was a pretty nice lil' community back then, but it definitely didn't have any amenities. I don't know how it is now, but if you like a place that is out of the way, it was definitely a good spot. Plus it had some nice beach/dune driving. Fond memories of burying the front end of his chevy in the sand after jumping some dunes, totally not under the influence occifer *burp*

    Personally, I like Long Beach better than Ocean Shores. But not sure you will find anything in your price point in either location. Good luck!

    Late to the party but theres a like apartment VK place in Ocean Shores I'd recommend if its just for visiting and not wanting land, you can when not using even have it rented out and treated like hotel with service if you want and not have to worry about much. Any time I go there I rent a ground floor pet friendly room, I do know at least from a few years ago That Ocean shores has a empty VK house dooring kicking in problem. But the place is on the beach and next to a few stores and gift shop with close vehicle beach access or many people trails to the beach. Would highly recommend if your not looking for land plus a ease of renting.
    I will update once I remember what the name is of the place. :)
