What a treasure! Our party consisted of two couples exploring several areas in Oregon and Washington. After two nights lodging in rather busy coastal towns, the quiet ambiance of China Beach was a welcome respite. The 1900ish home is lovingly restored. The bedrooms are a cozy, luxurious step back in time. Thoughtful touches abound. The common living room and sitting... More

We spent the Memorial day weekend and China Beach. The setting is fantastic; beautiful, peaceful, relaxing, natural, right on the edge of an estuary at the mouth of the Columbia river. This is just the perfect place to get up in the morning, walk out on the lovely deck and sit in the rocking chairs to listen to the birds... More

This ia a lovely, private B & B with an amazing view of the mouth of the Columbia River. Had a great time listening to the marsh birds and watching the river traffic. Wonderful breakfasts at the Shelburne Inn are included. Will definately go back again. I liked the "no host" aspect with just a few other guests (none the... More

I read all the reviews prior to booking this hotel and saw while most were positive there were a couple of negatives. By far I would say that this is the best hotel on the Long Beach Peninsula. We had a down stairs room in the main house with use of the deck. The water view, contrary to another reviewer’s... More

We staid at the Audobon Cottage which was recently remodeled with lots of interesting woods inside. It's absolutely amazing inside and very classy. We also are frequent travelers up and down the Northwest coast and hands down China Beach Retreat ranks as one of the top places to stay. I read the negative comments with amazement, we also saw the... More

This is one of the best spots on earth and coupled with a great innkeeper and staff; it really makes for a romantic and very scenic vacation. There is so much to see - The Columbia River Bar, Cape Disappointment, wildlife everywhere and a very private retreat. Did I mention the terrific breakfasts too? I recommend this to friends, family... More

My husband and I celebrated our 15 year anniversary this weekend at the China Beach Retreat's Audobon Cottage! We were welcomed warmly upon check-in at the nearby Shelburne Inn and a few minutes later arrived at the Cottage. We were amazed at the gorgeous woodwork inside. Upstairs was a sumptuous bedroom with a beautiful view of Baker Bay and the... More

Normally my husband and I cannot afford to stay in a place in this price range but this place is completely worth it. We loved the huge glass windows over looking the bay. I watched the tide go out and come back. Even in the winter the view is spectacular, the wildlife abundant and the facilities rejuvenating. I luxuriated in... More

A group I am involved with had the opportunity for a small gathering China Beach with overflow at the Shelburne Inn. The rooms at the water side property were quite lovely and spacious with their cheery colors, custom tile and artwork and beautiful decor, which gave the impression that each item was hand selected and placed with care. Huge windows... More
