www.seabrookwa.com If the siren of the sea calls to your water dog louder than
the word “cookie,” it’s well worth going the distance for a stay at Seabrook Cottage Rentals in Pacific City. With two- night minimums this season, or 4-nights during holiday weekends, you’ll have quality time for your Zen dog to remind you how to wind down from your hectic everyday pace. Pet rules vary slightly among the rentals, but with more than 60 pet-friendly cottages to choose from, there’s a perfect fit for every size and breed. The lodging options on this rugged and remote part of
the Washington coast are not plentiful, making Seabrook’s rainbow-hued, white-trimmed cottages a welcome, upscale choice. The community comes complete with its own services, including a market, several spas, bike rentals, parks and a fenced off-leash area for the canine social set. Mill 109 Restaurant & Pub has sidewalk seating for al fresco dining with your dog (weather permitting). Dogs are allowed off-leash on the beach, and when they tire of sand and surf, you can walk for hours on former Forest Service roads owned by the property. Truly, sometimes the biggest luxury you can give your

four-legged loved one is the gift of your time, tossing a piece of driftwood for seemingly endless games of fetch. Well, that, and maybe a new collar or toy from The Salty Dog pet boutique in Seabrook village. When your dog has rolled around in a little too much flotsam and jetsam, Salty Dog’s owner Ann Kjelsberg has kindly installed an outdoor, self-service dog wash. About once a month, she hosts a Yappy Hour, raising money for local dog rescue organizations and shelters. Within days of her first visit to Seabrook, Ann was plotting her permanent move here. “There isn’t a better beach in the state,” she insists. “It’s so wide, and open, and free of hazards, it allows you the freedom with your dogs that few other places can match.
