Shakti Cove is a little slice of heaven. Please note that the experience is rustic cottage. Kitchens with basic utensils and very clean. The cottages encircle a sunny circular yard with picnic tables. Visit the website for pictures.
The cottages are secluded in a wooded setting but within walking distance of book stores, a grocery and restaurants.
This is a vacation for those that want to get away from it all but still have a tether!
A short walk through a pine thicket and then dune grasses reveal an amazing and often almost private wide beach. The Pacific Ocean is yours.
The cove keepers are amazingly friendly while respecting privacy. The property is very dog friendly and they have a good selection of movies for quiet nights.
Each cottage has a kitchen stocked with basic pots and utensils for cooking your favorite seafood stew.
I have been bringing my pup here for many years as a special treat. Running on the beach or sitting back and watching the waves. We recently spent Christmas at Shakti and were so pleasantly surprised at the beauty.
Highly recommended. Our favorite place on the Pacific Northwest coastline.

Great little funky beach cabins with kitchenettes. This is more like your grandparent's cabin than the Four Seasons. Clean, basic, rustic and very much inline with the character of Ocean Park. Walk the beach for 10 minutes to the Full Circle Cafe or get your WiFi fix (also a short walk) at Adelaide's, the little coffee shop and book store.

I looked all over the internet looking for a "different" place for a get a way weekend. We got there and it was great. The cottages were not far from the ocean and the "Cottage Keepers" were great. The cottages looked a little rough from the outside but were great inside, a great place to get a way from the hussel and bussel of life. The town of Ocean Park was just a couple of blocks away and with Long Beach a few miles away you can find what ever you would like to do. I will admit this might not be for everyone but if you want peace and quiet and a lot of charachter for a respnable price this is the place. We plan on going back again and suggest it to friends and family.

I had planned to stay 3 nights, but after paying and going to my cottage, I sat inside for a few minutes and decided I could not stay here with the smell. It was like that awful perfumy carpet powder throughout the place. I permiated my body and clothes. Just awful. So, they were kind enough to give me a refund, except for a $25 fee for cancelling. Inside the cottage, it appeared clean though, old everything, looked like 1940's poor mans house. Maybe the other cottages didn't have this smell but you can decide for yourself.
