"4 families, each renting a beach house in Seabrook, Moclips, Ocean Shores and Pacific Beach. Out of all of them, Joey's was the winner! Superb accommodations! Out of any beach home we've stayed in thus far, Joey's has a special touch. The first thing we noticed right away are the beds. Every bed in this house is oh so comfortable and the bedding isn't cheap Walmart crap that each of the other beach homes seem to bestow upon their unsuspecting clients:( Surprisingly, Seabrook had the least comfortable beds out of all the homes and that place is supposed to be more "high end." NOT! Anyway, Joey's is definitely the best! Hands down. I don't need to say more because everyone who visited were blown away and I was so glad we discovered the best of the 4 homes because we stayed here for a week and everyone else ended up wishing they chose this place instead of the others. Our dogs were pampered with yummy dog treats, throw sheets for the furniture and the fluffy towels to dry off with. On top of that, we had a CLEAN hot tub!! My sister and her husband stayed at Seabrook and you could tell right away the tub hadn't been cleaned...well, you get the picture. GROSS! The owners of this home put a lot of pride in it and it really shows. Everything is top notch quality without being overpriced. The furnishings here will make you wanna go on a shopping spree for your own house! They really are that wonderful! Another thing that comes to mind is the tankless water heater. Every beach home should have one! Our friends who stayed in Moclips and Seabrook ran out of hot water after the first shower in the morning. The family that stayed in Ocean Shores left the 2nd day because the water was brown! SAD! Don't fool yourself with gimmicky homes that promise nothing but crap. Stay in a place that is truly excellent and enjoy your stay at Joey's Beach House!" - Mark and Charlene, Buckley, WA, 06/27/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"A large group rented both Joey's and another (to remain anonymous) nearby guest house. I was put in Joey's house and lucked out! A beautiful place, with a great living/dining/kitchen area - so spacious and comfortable. The hot tub was perfect after a run, kitchen was well stocked for cooking, the view of the beach is great, especially nice from the wrap-around deck, and all the bedrooms were comfortable - slept like a baby. Our family and friends were wishing they could move over to Joey's, their nearby house was not nearly as nice, even though it was similarly priced. Joey's is a great value and makes for a great comfortable vacation." - Bennett, seattle, wa, 06/13/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What a great getaway! it was just me and my two dogs for the entire weekend and what a perfect way to just unplug myself from the world and be totally and completely relaxed! You folks are probably the nicest people I've ever encountered in my travels. I've taken my dogs everywhere and spend a lot of time on the road with work. Never have I been so welcomed than by you and your gracious hosts. People could learn a lot from you and I hope they do! This is truly a luxury getaway and I know I'll be back again soon! Thank you so much!!" - Andy, Seattle, WA, 05/02/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Superb! Our family had a great time here and the beds are simply the most comfortable we've ever slept on! Bravo to such a great place to call home away from home:) Our large and extended family member's ended up staying in other homes in the area. What was interesting is that they all ended up hanging out at Joey's since they didn't particularly like the location or the accommodations of where they were staying. A true testament to the brilliance and design of your gracious home. We can't wait to come back here again!" - Rick and Sandy, Rosyln, WA, 04/27/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Picture postcard perfect! Our daughters felt like they were living in a magazine staying here. It's simply a work of art! We live in a coastal community and it was such a blessing to come here and enjoy the ambience of a real coastal town not robbed of its essence and simple life ideals. Our dogs especially appreciated all the "extras" they got. We don't usually let them sleep on our bed at home but thanks to your lovely throw sheets, they got to experience an extra special treat:) The hot tub was especially nice and the dual shower was a huge plus! Best place we've stayed thus far and we hope to be back again!" - Jackie and Amanda, Bodega Bay, CA, 04/07/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We will never again settle for something less than Joey's Beach House! We are humbled and inspired to find the "better" properties when traveling from now on, after staying here. Never have we felt so warm and comfortable during a getaway. The beds are spectacular! Your decor is stunning and the location was just perfect for our family of 5. The resident neighbors were so friendly and our dog Kobi had the best time ever. We are so thankful to have experienced your place and your inclusion of the pet spa basket was a special treat for Kobi! Your hosts made us all feel so welcome and the accommodations couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you so much!" - Steve and Becky Decatur, Blaine, WA, 03/25/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FIRST RATE PLACE!! We looked into several other properties that offered a cheaper price but we realized very quickly that you get what you pay for in this area! This place is unlike any vacation rental we've ever stayed before (we've stayed at a lot of them). We rarely stay at hotels since most of the time we just like the simple pleasures of a house with a kitchen. Joey's Beach House is on a completely different planet compared the humdrum beach homes we looked at in Pacific Beach. Everything is of fine quality here and the service is impeccable. Our hosts Shaunna and Dave were so friendly and did everything to make our stay so comfortable, cozy and most of all CLEAN! This place is spotless! For this being a dog friendly home, I was astounded by the cleanliness of this home since we take our dogs everywhere and this is the first dog friendly home that is cleaned from top to bottom! Kudos to the hosts for everything. Huge accolades go to the owners and designers of this home because it's adorned with exceptional taste. If you are on the fence about price, do yourself a favor and spend a little more on quality, you simply won't be dissappointed!" - Jacob and Ashley Carrola, Bend, OR, 03/12/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Quite simply the greatest horror movie collection EVER! My husband is a HUGE horror movie fan and unbeknownst to us when we arrived, you have a movie collection (and horror movie collection) that is second to none! The weather was rainy and stormy and it set the stage for a truly horrorific and splendid stay cuddling and burying my face in my husbands shoulder! Amidst the "horror films" this weekend was a total blast and it brought both of us together for such a fun and relaxing time. It truly made us fall in love with each other all over again. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! We can't wait to be back! BTW, the master bed at this house is THE MOST COMFORTABLE BED I HAVE EVER SLEPT ON!!!" - Marty and Lindsey McCormack, Allyn, WA, 02/17/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We loved your house and I and my husband particularly loved the nest you have created in the Master Bedroom. It was so cozy and relaxing. The kids and my son-in-law were happy in the hot tub. The weather was nasty but helped us enjoy the inside of your home even more. Thank you for creating such a tasteful and warm atmosphere." - Pat Brookes, Langley, WA, 02/15/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Exceptional! Truly unique and a bold difference to the old and tired beach houses that litter the area. We've come to the Pacific Beach/Moclips area for over 35 years and we decided to splurge a little and rent a place that offered just a little bit more than what everyone else was offering. I am so glad we did! Joey's Beach House isn't the "usual" beach home. The owners have taken A LOT of pride into what the design of their home should be and the furnishing and finishes are top notch. If there was ever a property that exudes a quality experience, this is the home! Aside from the bit of fumbling with the TV remote, we had an amazing time and it was so nice to just relax and enjoy the wonderful beds and furnishings, reading, drinking tea and getting warmed up by the fire. Truly exceptional indeed!" - Joanna and Andre Calpo, Boise, ID, 01/29/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"My husband and I stayed here for a 4 night stay at the beginning of December. It was cold, clear and sunny our entire time and I only wish we could have stayed longer! Our two Great Danes Marci and Talbert had such a fun time enjoying the beach and it was great to have a king size bed that fit everybody:) The pet spa gift basket is so sweet and it was nice to have sheets to lay out for the dogs when we watched TV together. What an exceptional place to stay! I hope we get a chance to come back again and enjoy this wonderful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of city life! You guys rock! BTW: I think Talbert has a crush on Joey! John and Marc (the humans) Marci and Talbert (the canines-big canines-hehehe)" - John Wielder, San Francisco, CA, 12/19/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you Joey's Beach House for a grand Thanksgiving holiday! We loved the kitchen and we were able to cook our full dinner with all the fixin's! The hot tub was a treat on the stormy/rainy days. Our dog Rocky loved his gift basket and running on the beach chasing birds. Your house is so warm and welcoming with so much attention to detail and nice high end touches. Comfortable beds, nice linens, great dominoes table, spacious garage, 2nd refrigerator, fireplace, nice showers, etc, etc... Our family had a great vacation! Jacquie, Traci, Mike, Jeff, Stacey and Rocky (woof!)" - Jacquie Guedel, Bellevue, WA, 11/30/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We have had a wonderful visit! The house is very well equiped and beautifully decorated. Despite the rain, we enjoyed the beach, as did the dogs Libby and Penny! They also loved their warm wash up with the hose afterwards:) P.S. The hot tub is GREAT!" - Malcolm Snedden, SCOTLAND, 10/31/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We have to say, after driving over 5 hours through traffic and arriving with family from all different directions, it was such a welcomed surprise to arrive at your home and be surrounded by the most tranquil and comfortable vacation rentals EVER! It was a wonderful quiet weekend! Not many people in the area and our dogs had a truly spunky and frolicking weekend playing on the beach and chasing seagulls. It was funny watching grandpa stand in the wind and rain grilling steak on the barbeque! Thanks so much for truly a memorable and exceptional beach getaway adventure! You folks truly are the best!" - Dennis and Olga Abercrombie, Dallas, OR, 10/28/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"How fortunate we felt entering the house to such a beautiful and inviting home in the middle of the night. Traffic was a nightmare and we almost got hit twice getting here. All of that is now a distant memory as I have awakened to one of the most beautiful places we've ever stayed! I can't tell you guys how thankful we are to have had such wonderful people like you guys to accommodate us on such short notice! We can't wait to be back here again and our dogs Shorty and Roxy are already begging us to stay here again:) You folks are truly the best! Thank you so much!" - Nikaela and Samuel Ambrose, Eugene, OR, 09/23/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We spent a full week at this place and it is quite simply THE BEST place we've ever stayed! You folks have provided such a haven for pet lovers and your love of fine design shines through! We can't wait to be back again. Our friends from California are already talking about visiting your place and I've told them to get their reservation in early! Our 3 dogs had such a great time here and the beach is so beautiful. We hope to be back this winter, possibly for the holidays! Thank you so much for such warm hospitality!" - Beau and Janice Mansfield, Coos Bay, OR, 08/25/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"5 stars wouldn't be enough to say how great this property is! 10 stars wouldn't be enough! Your beach house is truly a "cut above" the rest and we were blessed and fortunate enough to get a reservation during the summer months. We couldn't have asked for better weather and the beach was so amazing. We spent every morning going for a walk in the crisp air with just a trace of fog blanketing the bluff. On our way back we stopped at a little coffee shop in town for a nice warm cup of brew before heading back to the house for a nice hot breakfast and some reading of one of your 100's of books you have placed so neatly around the house. Late at night we'd fire up the hot tub after a long day of exploring and enjoyed a relaxing soak with jets that melted all our cares away:) This was absolutely, HANDS DOWN, the best vacation we've ever had. We travel all over the world when we go on vacation and with the economy being the way it is right now, we just couldn't afford to do that this year. Coming to Joey's Beach House has truly proven that staying close to home is quite simply more than just an economic solution but an experience of staying in a home that truly exudes the qualities of a labor of love. Thank you so much for providing a truly "exceptional" experience!" - Edina and Malcolm Parnell, Bellingham, WA, 08/25/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We enjoyed walking the beach and could not believe all the sand dollars. The hot tub was the best we have encountered. Your movie collection was amazing! Thank you for having such a well equipped home! The view-MY OH MY! GORGEOUS! Thanks again! Aaron and Norene Beaver (rested and rejuvenated parents of 3)" - Norene Beaver, Port Orchard, WA, 07/07/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What an exceptional property. Our family will remember it for decades to come. So much of it is so unique and it has a "brilliant" factor that I've only seen in few places we've stayed throughout our travels. I know you're talents are going to be used in so many great ways throughout your lives. Although Joey's will be closing at the end of the summer season, you'll be remembered by the folks who enjoyed your exceptional hospitality and kind service, which never goes away! Frank, stay safe as you go overseas to defend our freedom as you always do! Jamey, you're exceptional and enjoy your new adventure in home inspecting! Shaunna, you're amazing and beautiful and I can't wait to see what you do next! You all are amazing and will do great things on your next business venture together. Joey's is only the beginning, and what a way to go out-ON TOP and #1! OWNERS COMMENT: Jordy, thank you so much for your encouragement! It means so much to us. It looks like we'll be here through 2009 after all! Come out and see us again:)" - Jordana Linsfeld, Williamsburg, VA, 07/07/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"This house is great! The weather was too! We all had a nice time. Thanks for such wonderful accommodations!" - Gary and Jo Heineke, Prescott, AZ, 07/04/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had a great time in your home! Here's a list of everything we loved: 1. The Decor-WOW! 2. Hot tub:) In the open air with the ocean breezes 3. The starry nights 4. Sand dollars 5. Watching our children and dogs run wildly and freely on the beach 6. Cooking meals in your lovely kitchen 7. Reading the fabulous books you offer 8. Late night movies on your cool TV! The Hoornbeek and Paslaski Families" - George Paslaski, Allyn, WA, 06/28/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Today, we got married on the beach! It was an absolutely STUNNING 80 degree day. We are so glad we chose this beach and this beach house to stay in on our most important day. Our 3 "kids" Myla, Buddy and Pepper loved the beach. Our 9 year old rottie was acting like a puppy again. We had a great time playing in the waves. Thanks to you all for creating this wonderful pet oasis (and people oasis). Sean, Shauna, Myla, Buddy and Pepper" - Sean and Shauna, Renton, WA, 06/03/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"My best friend and I rarely get a weekend to ourselves. We are both busy with jobs, kids and family, that take up the bulk of our days. This was the first weekend in a long time that it was just us. We laughed, shopped, made dinner and challenged ourselves with the TV remote. It was a great weekend! We hope to do this again soon. Thank you for providing a beautiful place, tastefully decorated and devoid of 1970's furniture! Everything was perfect! We will be back:)" - Andie Webb, Stevenson, WA, 06/02/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Stayed Memorial Day weekend here. We had a lovely time. We so appreciated having all the comforts of our home in a beautiful location. Of course Buddy and Jake had a ball on the beach walking on the enclosed deck and going for long walks, looking out at the view from their doggie beds. Super fun was had by all! A note to the public: The 4 lane bowling alley at the next door Naval Base is open to the public and cute as a button! Check it out!" - Cristel Hutchinson, Olympia, WA, 05/28/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Special time had by all! Mom's 80th! Love this place! Puppies had so much fun. The beds are simply awesome here!" - Cindy Garrison, Olympia, WA, 05/19/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Celebrated Mother's Day and 2 anniversaries here! We had a great time! Katie had never seen the ocean before (due to no dog rules in most rental houses!) and she seemed like a "pup" again, though she just turned 9. We stay at the ocean every mothers day and are also always blessed by sunny weather-even if it is a little windy and chilly. Your house is beautiful and very comfortable-we all raved about the wonderful beds! We'll definitely return again. Thank you for allowing our Katie, so she could experience the ocean with us!" - Kim Kukay, Auburn, WA, 05/12/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Lily (our dog) absolutely loved Joey's Beach House! We've stayed at quite a few rentals and this place was really great! Very comfortable, extremely nice and very quiet. Also, the single best horror movie collection we've ever seen!! However, we'll be sending you a DVD to aid to your collection; "Best in Show," which seems quite appropriate:) We're so happy that Jason and Danielle Kohler recommended Joey's Beach House and we will return with them-hopefully soon! Thanks so much!" - Elizabeth Wallace, Seattle, WA, 05/05/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What an amazing home! Warm and luxurious, comfortable and exactly what we were looking for! The beds were dreamy and oh so comfortable. We'd like to take the house home with us, yet, alas we must be leaving it. Four moms and their children, all had lots to do in the direct vicinity and took advantage of the comfort of your home to reconnect and rejuvenate. When we tried to explore the neighboring areas, we found that most businesses were still closed for the winter season, so, alas, no whale watching or cycle rentals. Nonetheless, the beach offered lots to do-so no worries:) All in all, we had a glorious time (snow, hail, rain, wind and sunshine included). Your beautiful home is worth another visit...perhaps in the summer! Cheers! Marg, Tao, Amy, Ben, Denise, Gemma, Kim and Logan" - Margaret Jorgensen, Vancouver BC Canada, 04/03/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Four women, very different women, came together to explore and rest. Mixed with Cosmo's, hummus and diet Coke. We watched movies, walked the beach and told stories. To add to the excitement, we figured out a jigsaw puzzle together! This has been yet another corner of the earth that has been explored. Truly a place that will be highly recommended! Thank you for all of the thoughts and memories!" - Shanna Taylor, Kirkland, WA, 03/31/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"After staying at Seabrook many times over, we simply couldn't believe the best was yet to come when we arrived at Joey's for our 20th wedding anniversary! We love Pacific Beach but we never really felt like we were enjoying the best parts of Pacific Beach staying in Seabrook. We would always rent their nicest homes with at least a peak-a-boo view of the ocean but it always felt like we were never really "near" the beach. Our friends and family who had stayed with you before told us all the great things about your place and the "word of mouth" was definitely right! I think the best things we'll remember is the attention to detail in your decor, the exceptional bottle of wine (yummy by the way), the master bed which was absolutely the most comfortable bed we've slept on EVER!!! In addition, the ultra clean hot tub (Seabrook doesn't have these, much less any other beach house in the area), the double shower with endless hot water (have yet to find anyone besides you guys that has one of those!), the Xbox 360 with over 30 games (unheard of!) and the great selection of books, DVD's and board games to keep the kids busy on rainy days. All in all, you guys are a 5 star property all the way which says A LOT, coming from people from Medina! Thanks so much!" - Joel and Amanda King, Medina, WA, 03/24/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"One word can easily describe Joey's Beach House. "PHENOMENAL!" You folks maintain an exceptional standard of quality and value for people who appreciate things of a higher caliber. Our stay was a wonderful success thanks to the gorgeous surroundings and the little touches that mean so much. Our dogs were so happy when we arrived and your generosity in providing sheets for the furnishings were a special treat for them! You leave nothing to substandard quality or integrity. It was such a great experience being welcomed in a home that exudes so much pride and most of all...Love! We hope to be back this summer if our schedules allow. People who choose a beach house elsewhere simply DO NOT know what they're missing! In the meantime, we'll be telling all of our friends and family about your place, since we love finding these exceptional getaways that are so few and far between. Thank you so much!" - Jeanne Chrisostomo, Blaine, WA, 03/16/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Our getaway was most impressive! We had snow, rain, hail and for the better part of our stay, SUNSHINE! The sunsets were like something out of a picture perfect postcard! We ate great food cooked in your wonderful kitchen, drank delicious wine, watched movies, did some hot tubbing and enjoyed our walks on the beach daily. The house is so very comfortable and things you do to make the experience even grander are so appreciated. We simply can not wait to be back again! We wish you folks all the best! You so deserve it!" - John and Sandy Marlin, Lake Wenatchee, WA, 03/16/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"This is, by far the most beautiful and comfortable house we've rented and we've rented many! The attention to detail makes a very romantic getaway.. The kitchen was fun to cook in; the furniture & bed were very cozy & soft... We feel rested & ready to go back to the real world; actually, we could stay another month! :) Cooking romantic food, walks on the beach and sleeping in are just what the doctor ordered. See you again sometime!! The Hartmans from Tacoma P.S. Your decorating abilities are amazing. Do you hire out? :)" - Erick Hartman, Tacoma, WA, 02/24/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Drinking morning tea and sitting in the recliner, my grandchildren are quietly playing a game in front of the fireplace. As I raise my gaze to the windows, I am mesmerized by the beauty and rhthym of the white capped waves, brilliant in the sun...I am experiencing a moment of perfection and pure bliss! Making memories, we will recall with great fondness over the coming years. Thanks for creating such a peaceful and aesthetically pleasing "home" for our family/dog weekend. The numerous thoughtful touches, attention to detail, quality and comfort are truly appreciated. This time of celebration with my children and grandchildren has been so enhanced by the luxury and coziness of the settings." - Rachael and Brian Schnieder, Federal Way, WA, 02/19/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What a spectacular place to stay! We can't thank you enough for all the special things you did for our stay. It was so appreciated. Our dogs Casey, Cheery and Castle had a total blast. We explored Shi Shi beach and like you said on your ad, it was completely breathtaking and like no place on earth! Our dogs enjoyed visiting the snow at Hurricane Ridge and our kids enjoyed inner tubing. Staying a week at your home was perfect because we had the chance to visit lots of places we just never get to see when we're only here for a few days. It was so nice coming "home" to Joey's after traveling all day and the hot tub and spa shower with endless hot water were a cut above what anyone else offers. We know this well after staying in Seabrook and other beach rentals in the area. We will certainly be lifelong lovers of your place. It's simply the best!" - Lynn and Gary Sandoval, Woodinville, WA, 02/17/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What a cool house! We were simply stunned when we arrived. Expecting the usual home with tons of stuff worn out, things missing from the cupboards and what always seems when we stay at a beach home, the illustrious hot tub that looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a decade. Certainly not you guys! Everything was top notch here! Every linen well prepared and staged for our grand arrival. You folks truly know how to impress the locals:) Even the townsfolk of Pacific Beach know who you are and speak well of you! Our puppies had a wonderful time exploring the beach and running after seagulls. The kids had a blast playing Xbox and enjoying the ultra clean hot tub which was very appreciated by me and my husband! I can't wait to tell our friends about this place who also happen to have Boxers that would just love to frolic with Joey and Georgie! Thank you so much for helping us make awesome memories for years to come!" - Brad and Shannon Wilson, Port Orchard, WA, 02/14/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Your house is AMAZING! We ran out of time to write in the guest book so just wanted to email and let you know that we had a fabulous weekend and cannot believe how beautiful your home is! Thanks for sharing it with us. We had never been to Pacific Beach and we're amazed at the beach...it reminded us more of Oregon than Washington! There were hardly any people on the beach, so the doggies were able to be off leash and they ran and ran and ran and then slept the rest of the weekend! Thanks again for sharing your home with us!" - Stan and Brenda Glisson, Seattle, WA, 01/20/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"For those sitting on the fence and not sure which vacation rental to pick? Stop looking, you've found it! This house has it all and is quite simply the best place we've stayed in years! Our dogs and kids loved the place. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked with everything (and we do mean EVERYTHING) we needed! Our roasted turkey was absolutely scrumptious along with all the tools needed to make our best holiday dinner ever! Joey's Beach House is simply one of the best places to stay on the coast. We have no doubt this home will win hearts the world over. These folks provide an absolutely wonderful place for getting away from the hustle and bustle of busy life; in a location that is quiet, safe and with plenty of area for your dog and kids to roam around the neighborhood. The kids loved the Xbox games and the DVD collection is exceptional! The hot tub is also a notable element of the home since we needed it after roaming the cold and frigid shores of Pacific Beach. What a great place to get away. We can't wait to return this summer! Janet, Marcus, Tiffany, Aaron, Jeffrey and Sandy (the humans) Gordy, Shasta and Cadie (the canines)" - Janet and Marcus Matthews, Federal Way, WA, 01/06/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Wow! We loved the house and its decor. The Christmas tree was a thoughtful touch. Especially for the kid's and putting gifts under it. We loved the special touches, like the gift basket for the dogs, snacks, herbal teas and hot chocolate, wine, etc. All the beds were extremely comfy too! Thank you for sharing your home and making it dog friendly too. We had a great time here and we'll definitely be back sometime in the future. Happy Holidays! P.S. Was great having movies and Xbox for the kids since the weather outside wasn't all that great...THANK YOU!!!" - Mike and Amy Helland, Renton, WA, 01/02/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had a cozy, family time! It was snowing and the grandkids had a great time outside. We enjoyed the quiet togetherness in very comfortable and tasteful surroundings within this unusual beach house. We hope to come when it's sunny and warm though, however, the snowscapes were just beautiful." - Jan Marx and Family, Auburn, WA, 12/24/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thanks so much for a such a wonderful home and the most restful stay we've had in years! Everyone agreed that your beds are simply the best EVER. Previously we've stayed at (*) and (*) and neither of those places even came close to the quality we enjoyed on with your home. We've stayed usually at homes right on the beach but we decided to take a chance on yours after seeing what people have said about you. The praises couldn't be more clear! It's so nice to find a beach home that actually "gets it." We plan on staying NO WHERE ELSE on our next trip over! What more could we say? No one even compares! Plus, you guys are pet friendly which is unheard of in most upscale residences and hotels. Once again, thank you thank you thank you! Jim, Charlotte, Marlene, Doug, Eric and Janice (the humans) Billy and Bugsy (the canines)" - Jim and Charlotte Bowman, Mount Vernon, WA, 12/17/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Dear Joey and Georgie, Thank you very much for sharing your beach house with us! We had a great time running on the beach, chasing seagulls and generally getting wet and sandy! It's a good thing you have that outside hose with warm water or Mom and Dad would not have allowed us back in the house. We hated getting washed down after every trip but it was worth it to come inside with them, cuz we love the house:) It's like it was built with dogs in mind, well, maybe people too, since Mom and Dad really enjoyed it too. Rusty was the only one not sure since he has trouble walking on shiny floors. He's such a goober. We had a wonderful time staying at your house and can't wait to tell our best friend and neighbor Allie about it. She's a Boxer too and would really have fun here. We hope to come again soon! Best wishes, Ruby, Tiffany and Rusty (the canines). From the humans: P.S. The human contingent also had a wonderful and restful week in your beautiful beach home. Ocean breezes are just the thing for blowing away all the stresses of our lives. Thank you! Kim and David" - Kim and David Harmeling, North Bend, WA, 12/07/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Wow, this place is beautiful! This is our 14th year of "Girls Weekends" and we enjoyed our stay so much. Great view, elegant surroundings (your decorating taste is awesome by the way) and comfortable...I could go on and on! We'll keep you in mind for future excursions. Thank you so much for the wine, flowers and fun. One suggestion: a little run to wipe your feet coming from a wet deck. Thanks again, Linda, Jaynie, Katia, Viginia, Nancy and Linda:) Owners comment: Thank you for the suggestion! We have ordered some new rugs for the entry ways and they should arrive shortly. We appreciate your input and thank you for staying with us!" - Linda Walde-Woode, Seattle, WA, 12/07/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Wow! Beautiful home, decor and sunny weather all weekend! It just doesn't get any better! Sarge (Lab mix) and Cocoa (Chihuahua) were in dog heaven 2-3 times a day at the beach. We rented mopeds in Ocean Shores and traveled to the Jetty to watch the gigantic waves. We viewed deer on our moped drive. Made lasagna and watched movies in the evening. Snuck down to the beach after 10pm to enjoy the awesome starlit sky. We really had a wonderful and relaxing time. Thank you so much!

"There is no better vacation than taking a dog to the beach! Bronwyn, the 6 year old Cardigan Corgi made herself right at home. The 3 of us had a fabulous time! We celebrated my 40-somethingth birthday with dinner at the Ocean Crest (yum), beach time, hot tub time, cooking and movies. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!!! " - Garret Buban, Carnation, WA, 12/07/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We will all be smiling for weeks, is there anything better for Thanksgiving week than sunshine, wide open beaches, two dogs and a tennis ball? The reports of ultra-comfortable beds are true! Thanks to the great kitchen and the IGA in Ocean Shores, we're leaving well rested and well fed. This morning we got a little cardio workout when the fire engine showed up in front with lights flashing and horn blaring. Then they used the bullhorn to announce the firefighters pancake breakfast this morning, they certainly got our attention! It was a great sendoff from the delightful people of Pacific Beach. Thanks for all your thoughtful touches to make us feel at home-it worked! We'll be back!

"Living in Washington, rain is simply inevitable but aside from the nasty weather, we were glad we chose your place over many others. We've stayed in Pacific Beach over the last 30 years and in all of our 30+ years of visiting there, we have NEVER seen a beach house so well put together! We've probably stayed at almost every pet friendly beach home in the area and quite frankly, you guys are simply the absolute best of the best! The linens, furnishings, appliances, hot tub and electronics are all top notch. Despite a few difficulties with the remote which Shaunna (our host) so nicely explained, everything was just perfect! We can't wait to come back again! Your place is definitely designed for us pet lovers and our dogs Willy and Bennie were both in total heaven the entire time. Please keep us informed of Joey and Georgie's adventures. We hope next time Willy and Bennie get a chance to meet them:) Thanks so much! " - George and Penny Dosier, Medina, WA, 11/30/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"G'day! We were overwhelmed with excitement when we came in and entered through the stairs to one of the most nicely appointed homes we've ever seen! You folks leave nothing to cheapness or tacky. What phenominal taste and your treatment of us was simply divine. Our friends who stayed in nearby Seabrook were a bit dissappointed with their home compared to yours. The biggest issues with Seabrook was space and the stuck up attitude of some of the residents and staff. We'll take your home over them any day! Your neighborhood is so inviting and the neighbors who live full time behind us were so sweet during our stay. We spent our days (rain or shine) on the beach and playing with our dogs Rickey and Shilo. We highly recommend the Ocean Crest Restaurant. Great steaks and excellent wine selection! The Seagate is a great hole in the wall bar/grill with great sandwiches! The Teriyaki place at the gas station is the absolute best! Aloha Tavern has simply the nicest beer drinkers on the planet:) The not so great places-Cafe Tashtego (way too expensive, not enough food and as I said before about Seabrook-way too small), The Windjammer Restaurant (food and service was AWFUL but the drinks were great), Paddies Perch (rude service). Your guide book was right on and the various pamphlets you provide about the area was exceptional for our visit! We applaud what you've done and can't wait to produce an excellent story on you guys for our publication! Thanks so much!" - Abelle and Jaime Prosky, Sydney Australia, 11/19/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"I write because Colin and I are very sad....and have been, since we returned home. We want to be BACK at Joey’s! I can tell you this now, but we seriously considered buying some barricade supplies and boards and NEVER leaving! Wow – we really had such a great vacation. Thank you both, and of course, thanks to Joey and Georgie! Sasha and Jade would like to meet them next time, and believe me, there WILL be a next time! We were really just constantly surprised at the beauty and care that you guys put into the house. It is NOT your normal vacation rental. Especially as you also allowed us to bring our “girls.” Hard to find a pet friendly place, and then find that it surpasses our hopes in every way. Every time we looked for or needed something, we not only found it, but also noticed that everything was way above what we expected. Even the smallest detail of top line appliances! Coffee maker, toaster, panini maker – all top of the line! You guys should be proud as it is really a special home. And of course, your design style is exactly in line with ours, so, it truly felt like a dream home to us. I’m running around now trying to find OUR spa shower or plasma in every room.....sniff.

"Who knew September is Washington's most beautiful month! Our families were in awe the entire time at your wonderful view and gorgeous furnishings. We've never stayed in a place so exceptional! Our dogs were in complete heaven the entire time and loved your yummy dog treats and shampoo. The goodies for the humans you provided at check-in were so good and thoughtful! I can't thank you enough for such a wonderful experience we all had. We can't wait to be back here again." - Ed and Anita Welburton, Odessa, TX, 09/15/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"To everyone at Joey's Beach House. We simply could not have asked for anything better! This house wreaks with taste and class! When our families from Bellingham, WA and Bend, OR came out they simply could not believe the home we had found. None of us wanted to leave! The weather and the view was simply gorgeous. Loved all the great board games and the Xbox 360 was just perfect for the kids! The dogs loved their chew treats and I am now a huge fan of Earthbath Shampoo! What a great place. Can't wait to return again:)" - Stanley and Marion Welcher, Key West, FL, 09/02/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Our trip to Washington was such a fun experience. We couldn't have ended it on a better note than with Joey's Beach House! It was great to find that perfect place that seems to be on almost every website known to man and on the top of every list! This home deserves to be on top! If we're ever back in Washington again, we hope to visit you folks again. Thanks so much!" - Dot Altstred and Myra Curbey, Sydney, Australia, 08/26/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Beautiful home! Seven sorority sisters together for 4 days-had a great get-a-way! Woodie didn't have a shower cap so we made him sleep in the car. Margarita joined the bunch along with bud for a very cosmopolitan time. We loved the animal accents. Don't ask, hear, speak no evil. We played lots of cards, Mexican train and shut the box. Shopped till we dropped. The view is magnificent here. What a wonderful home! We enjoyed the sun, the beach, THE VIEW, so much! Thanks for everything you did to make our getaway a time to sit back and relax. Frank, I enjoyed talking with you on the phone. You were very helpful. Shaunna, thanks for having everything so clean and ready for us. I appreciate how helpful you were when I had to bug you during our time here. From the whole Xi Gamma Group!! Thanks! Hope we get a chance to come back. Do we get a discount as repeat customers? OWNERS COMMENTS: Anyone who stays enjoys a 10% discount on any future stay! Thank you for your funny comments:)" - Anne-Miller Hewitt and Sisters, Eastern Washington, 08/25/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Our families get together every Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends at the coast. We have rented many a beach house over the years and your house ranks at the top! What makes your house so great is the attention to details and all the amenities, i.e.; BATHROBES! SMALL APPLIANCES!! XBOX!!!, ETC. Great view and beach! Our children had a fantastic time treasure hunting up and down the coastline. In conclusion, after a few bottles of your luscious complimentary wine, we wrote a song about our beach weekend. Yours, this year, is sung to the classic Bonnie Tyler song, "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Once we had a beach house that was falling apart another's paint job made it glow in the dark thank you Frank and James Your house in Moclips stole our heart!! Written by: Mason, Riggs and Cleve Families:) OWNERS COMMENTS: Such poetry! It's been our pleasure hosting you folks! We hope you'll come back again:)" - Kelly Mason, Family and Friends, Seattle, WA, 08/25/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We loved your beautiful home. It was like a little slice of heaven being here in such an idyllic location away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This is the perfect place to relax and just unwind. Even the cool, cloudy and misty days were a respite from the heat the Puget Sound was experiencing while we were away. We shall forever remember the great time we had here for the last 4 days. Thank you for doing everything you did to make our stay so enjoyable and full of great memories. We loved the hot tub and also the beds. This is an awesome place!" - Donna Robertson and Family, Seattle, WA, 08/25/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you for providing us with a place to renew ourselves after a stressful year. The home was beautiful and worked just right for our family. The kitchen was a pleasure to work in with everything I could imagine needing for our stay. We hope to come again in the future! Thanks again! OWNERS COMMENT: Thank you for choosing us amidst all the other choices on Washington's beautiful coastline. Take care and keep in touch:)" - The Baker Family, Kent, WA/Russia, 08/25/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Taking a breather from our crazy life in the city. I scoped out a place for my partner and our 2 dogs (both Boxers) to escape the busy city life and find a place of peace and quiet. This place far exceeded anything we ever expected! In our travels we have only stayed at 3 vacation rentals and quite honestly, this house is better than most high end hotels we've stayed in and FAR better than ANY vacation rental thus far. We can't thank you enough for providing such a warm and comfortable place! We also greatly appreciate all you did to make not just our stay so welcoming but our pets (ahem...I mean kids) as well by including the Pet Spa basket. It's all the small things that no one seems to understand that makes this home far more enjoyable than probably anything out there. Thanks so much!" - Steve Aronofsky and Mike Turnbull, San Francisco, CA, 08/25/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Sorry for taking so long in getting you our feedback. Our May spring stay was wonderful and our families had a wonderful time. You folks are simply the best place to stay for the money you pay for. Our friends who stayed in other nearby homes were in shock when they checked out your place. I can only say that in the months ahead I don't see you folks slowing down anytime soon! My husband and I were amazed at your ultra comfy beds and the gorgeous hot tub was just great after long days spent on the sandy beach. We can't wait to come back next year! Thank you so much!" - Rocky and Chelsea Whittaker, Cleveland, OH, 07/30/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"WOW! What other word could I use to describe this wonderful place? You guys have impressed us so much I think we'll be moving here soon! Washington is extraordinary and we always said we'd visit here when we retired. I can't believe it took 60+ years for the both of us to finally get here! To stay in a place like yours during our stay was simply the icing on the cake! We used all the paper products, shower stuff and coffee beans. Everything was top notch and you offer so many great goodies for your guests, I just didn't want to leave! Thanks a bunch for introducing us to a "real" luxury home!" - Stan and Marney Albrecht, Lincoln, NE, 07/17/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Coming from our duty station in Japan, we wanted to ensure during our leave period we got a chance to take a vacation from our vacation. Frank, I can't even begin to thank you enough for everything you, your partner Jamey and Shaunna have done! The people next door were telling us how much they wished they went with you guys when finding their vacation rental! That's gotta tell you something:) We honestly couldn't have asked for more with this place. We wished we had our dog with us since this place would be perfect for our Siberian Husky "Shepherd." Mike was so impressed with all the cooking gadgets you offer. It almost seems limitless! I was most impressed with your choice of Pete's Coffee! It's truly my favorite and I hadn't had Pete's in over 2 years since they don't ship it to FPO addresses! We usually have to bum from friends in the states to send us some! Coffee press was also a very nice touch:) When we come back to the states next year, we are sure to keep your place at the top of our short list of accommodations. It was simply awesome!" - Mike and Sheri Wilcox, Misawa, Japan, 07/16/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Our time at Joey's was a great success. We enjoyed your home and wish to return again very soon. All the furnishings and linens exceeded our already high expectations and the host was eloquent and presented an impeccable home for our stay. We will let many know of your beautiful home in a great ocean beach destination." - Hilali Adjem, Dubai, UAE, 07/16/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hi everyone, I wanted to give you some feedback on the house. It is a beautiful home and we thoroughly enjoyed the view from the great room. The welcome treats were greatly appreciated and consumed. The beds were very comfortable and the master shower was a nice surprise. The weather did not totally cooperate but we still had good family time playing games when it rained and going to the beach when it was not. We appreciated that the beach access was so close by. We do feel you have a lovely home and would not have traded the experience for anything. Thank you so much!" - Marilyn Hilliker and Family, Orting, WA, 07/12/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We have been watching your place for quite some time since you folks first opened in June of last year. Having placed our reservation almost 13 months in advance, the wait was excruciating after what we heard from several of our friends who had stayed before us. I am here to say, the wait was so worth it. My partner and I have finally found a place to enjoy each year at the beach! You have left nothing to chintz! Everything is top quality and we love what you've done with the entertainment system in the living room. We also can't wait to see what you're new website will look like! I can only imagine greatness since this home is so exceptional. Our friends who stayed in Seabrook were jealous as all hell and ended up mostly staying (and sleeping) at Joey's since the house accommodated more people and had plenty of elbow room for everyone. The beds were FAR more comfortable too! Thanks for such an amazing getaway. Please keep our deposit for our reserved dates for next year! We can't wait to be back!" - Steve Cooper and John Nelson, Seattle, WA, 07/12/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had a great time...the house was everything we could have hoped for. We even had great weather the entire trip, so that was just icing on the cake. This was both our son, Lahlan's (22 months) and dog, Weber's first trip to the beach and needless to say, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thanks for having such a wonderful place that pet owners can enjoy. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back again." - Jason Wandler and Family, Kenmore, WA, 07/06/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What a treat to have the chance to visit Washington and see our friends we hadn't seen since college, over 20 years ago! This was the trip of a lifetime for us and our reunion with our friends was absolutely perfect! Joey's Beach House is such a spectacle. People from the Navy resort would often walk by and ask to see the home. Everyone was in awe of the decor and design layout. You guys have really pulled it off brilliantly. I have recommended your place to several of our clients who will be visiting you in the next several months (many who have already secured reservations). If we are ever back in the area again, we are certainly going with you! You folks have been superb!" - Demetrius and Twila Martinson, Tucson, AZ, 07/06/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"All 10 of us enjoyed our stay at Joey's Beach House. We celebrated the kids graduation from school and it was awesome to come to a place so well put together. We all kept saying how cool it would be to own something like it in our lifetime since it's like a dream staying here! You guys have done such an amazing job. We're already making plans for a return holiday getaway later in the summer and possibly Christmas. This is the perfect place if you love staying in a home that has everything and you appreciate a house that is very well designed. Amongst many vacation rentals we've stayed at in the area, you can't beat this place! Thanks so much fellas! " - Stacy Keller and Marcus Thompson, Yakima, WA, 06/27/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We just want to thank you for the wonderful weekend that your beautiful home made possible. This was the first weekend away with the entire family in almost 3 years! We really loved being able to get my Mom and Dad away from the everyday chores of life. They both needed a break. We all did. Joey's Beach House was perfect in every way. I can't think of any comfort that was missing! Everyone had their own space but we could also come together in the great room. The kitchen was perfectly equipped for meals. Loved all the books, DVD's and Xbox games. I really can't think of anything that was "just ok." The hot tub was fantastic! The sunsets sublime! Even with the campsite below, it was quiet. We loved sitting out on the deck talking and reading with the roar of the ocean in the background. And best of all, just doing nothing in a beautiful yet very comfortable home. That was the best! Everyone kept commenting about how beautiful the home was but not so beautiful as to make you uncomfortable. We have been lucky enough to travel extensively and stay in some really lovely places. But your home was one of the few places we have stayed that managed to be both beautiful to look at and yet you can put your feet up, get cozy and feel like you want to move in. That is rare! And the dogs. They turned into puppies when we arrived! They were in heaven; especially when we took them to the beach! My nephew, who is 4, cried when we left. I am not sure which was a bigger hit, the Xbox or the beach! Again, thank you for everything. I have sent your web link on to a number of people. My husband and I hope to return in the off season to do some storm watching! Joey's would be a perfect place for that! Don't change a thing! Many Thanks!" - Rick and Deborah Wilson & family, Port Orchard, WA, 06/17/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Visting family and friends was great. We only wished we had more time to spend at Joey's (Beach House). It was truly a unique and tasteful experience for us. You folks really went out of your way to make our stay so comfortable and warm. Our dogs were in total heaven with the doggie treats, fluffy towels and super dog shampoo from Earthbath! Too cool! It was great meeting you guys and we hope to be back again really soon!" - Javier and Maria Perez, San Diego, CA, 06/16/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We couldn't have asked anything better! It was so nice to have such a great place to come home to after hiking through rainy forests and mountain biking through muddy terrain! The hot tub made the experience even more special as our legs were more than having a field day! As adventurous as we tried making it, we realized we could've just stayed at the house the entire time and read your great books and drank herbal tea all weekend! This was by far the best place we've stayed and it was great to see our friends from California meet up with us for the trip! Shaunna was so wonderful in getting us settled in and made us all very comfortable with the totally cool home theatre! We hope to be back again very soon!" - Andy Kohler and Cheri Belweather, Victoria, BC, 06/08/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"This was a wonderful return to Washington! I hadn't been up here for quite sometime and it was great to enjoy the coast again. My dog Sassy was in heaven! Our friends from Victoria made mention that your place was the best place they've stayed, EVER! That's saying A LOT since they travel all over the world with the movie business. I have to say, I agree 100%! It was such a great place in such a nice and quiet location:) Thank you for such a great time!" - Janine Turner and Friends, Los Angeles, CA, 06/07/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Joey's gets a medal of honor! We loved our stay so much; we're coming back again at Christmas time! What a great value! Your kitchen is a dream with all the various tools and appliances you offer. Our kids (and dogs) loved having homemade waffles in the morning! Your pannini grill was a great surprise since my husband loves his pannini sandwiches. We have one just like it at home! All your furnishings are top notch and come from all of my favorite stores:) It's such a treat coming here! Thanks so much for a wonderful and relaxing visit. Can't wait to be back this winter!

"This IS Dog Utopia! We loved it! So impressed with what you have done:) Our family had the best time staying at Joey's Beach House and it was a sad day leaving since we only got to stay 3 nights:( Nonetheless, it was an excellent time visiting with family we hadn't seen in over 15 years!! Our dogs were in heaven and the place is immaculate! The things that impressed me the most were the pet spa package (we've never seen beach homes do that before) and what a nice way to present it! The hot tub and Xbox 360 was a hit for the grandkids. The wine you serve is yummy for the adults! The snacks and drinks you provide at check-in are a very nice touch after a long drive for everyone! All in all, this place ranks up with the best places we've stayed. All of our family was so impressed with everything. We hope to be back again soon! Thanks so much for your wonderful hospitality. Gene, Dottie, Erica, Marcus, Selma, Richard, Tatum, Elizabeth, Dusty, Millie, Sari, Cameron and Taylor (the humans) Corky, Billy and SanFran (the canines)" - Gene & Dottie Wells, Enumclaw, WA, 06/02/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"After much searching over many many years of trying to find the perfect place for our annual "girls" getaway, we finally found it! You guys are awesome! This was the perfect place for our retreat. We've stayed at so many dumps over the years and it was so nice to finally find a luxurious house in a central place in between Oregon and Bellingham. Pacific Beach is truly one of a kind! We had never heard of it until this trip and the location is something truly extraordinary. We are already planning next years trip and I hope you'll have our dates available since you guys are booked so far out! Thanks so much!

"We all had a great time at the beach house. Your home is lovely. If you check your guestbook you'll see that Mark wrote a song about it. (Possibly after some wine.) We really appreciate the thoughtfulness that obviously went into making it dog friendly--even small dog friendly--especially the plexiglass on the upper deck that kept the tiny dog in while we were enjoying some sunshine out there, the poo bags, the hot water outside (and shampoo), and the sheets/towels to keep things clean. In addition, we are all "foodies" so we're pleased with your well-appointed kitchen." - Kel Mason and family, Portland, OR, 06/02/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"To everyone at Joey's Beach House, I can't even begin to express our most sincere appreciation of what you have accomplished with your home...Joey's Beach House! It truly is so welcoming when you arrive and it makes you feel at home all during your stay. The attention to details in your decor, the kitchen and all the upgraded appliances are just amazing. Your added touches for our special drinks for us to enjoy was so nice. Tim and I had a wonderful time and would love to return some day, to again enjoy the ambiance of your home. Thanks so much for everything." - Tim and Barb Turner, Arvada, CO, 05/20/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Wanted you to know we enjoyed our stay at Joey's. It was a much needed retreat. The well appointed kitchen, master shower and the sound of the ocean as we slept; we loved! You have done an exceptional job of marketing Joey's Beach House; she must be proud:) Thank you again for a restful stay!" - Tom and Anita Binns, Chattaroy, WA, 05/19/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"A Joey’s Beach House review: Having received a recommendation from some friends of ours, we knew ahead of time that this place had A LOT to offer. What we didn't expect was the superior service and the overall experience that other people who perhaps offer the same things in their beach homes, inevitably fall short of in execution! It's hard not to be biased on a place like this since beach rentals are a dime a dozen these days and the misconception for most home owners is to do a beach home on the cheap to maximize profits. On the contrary, Joey's has done just the opposite! Trust me; the home is far better than any picture displayed on a computer screen. In contrast, it isn't hard to find a nice and clean place to stay anywhere on the coast but what makes this place a cut above anyone else out there is their commitment in maintaining a "Gold Standard" of quality on everything the owners have invested. Every furnishing, every accessory, every blanket, sheet, hand soap and luxury amenity is of the utmost quality! We've stayed at a plethora of vacation homes over the years and this home stands out as one of the best places we've stayed alongside (not below) an oceanfront home we stayed at in Maui! It really is that great of a home! "But they're not oceanfront," you say. I have to intercede here because the honest truth is oceanfront properties have their good and bad along with everything else, which I won't elaborate on here. It really comes down to what pleases YOU. Are you concerned more about an oceanfront view or about the plush $5000 mattress you never want to get off of? Are you more concerned about the beach access for your pets, or a home that isn't just "pet friendly" but a home that actually caters to pets and welcomes them with open arms? Are you more concerned about the ocean directly outside your door or a top of the line hot tub that melts your cares away (as one person says here) into oblivion, with a nice ocean view in the distance? I can go on forever about this place but the bottom line is this; no other beach house in this area offers what Joey's Beach House offers unless someone usurps this grand concept with something bigger and even more extravagant. Which in turn, takes serious money to do? By the time something like that does happen, Joey's undoubtedly will be etched in history as probably the first of it's kind in Pacific Beach. I just can't say enough great things about Joey's! Thanks so much to Frank, James and Shaunna for such a great stay! It was wonderful to have had the opportunity to experience this amazing property on probably the most spectacular beach on the west coast!" - Jake Chambliss and Eddie Mckinney, San Francisco, CA, 05/14/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"I just had to send you an email this morning and tell you what an absolutely beautiful home you have! Oh my gosh...my husband and I did not want to leave yesterday!! You guys did an incredible job decorating!! Did you do that yourself?? Uh...when my husband and I buy our home later this year...I am so going to call you for decorating tips!!! LOL!!! Besides thanking you for a wonderful place to stay...we are wanting to come back and stay at your home again! Even though it was windy and rainy...we had the best weekend!! THANK YOU!! OWNER COMMENTS: Thank you for your kind words! We are excited to have you again and we've taken care of everything for your next stay!" - Kim Sano, Puyallup, WA, 05/12/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"To everyone at Joey's Beach House; we enjoyed our stay very much! The accommodations were even better than expected. I will recommend Joey's to my friends and colleagues, some of whom have already made inquiries. The only suggestion I have is more dog towels. I brought several of my own and was able to do laundry once, so we never ran out. Thanks again! Bill (the human) Speedy, Penny and Bear (the canines) OWNERS COMMENT: Thank you for providing that feedback, thanks to your comment, we will be adding some new items to the pet spa package which will include extra towels for our furry friends. Thanks so much for your business and your suggestions!" - Bill Stewart, Spokane, WA, 05/07/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What a superior accommodation! My partner Erma and I had the most splendid time with our dogs Shelly and Angel. It's such a warm and relaxing place. We spent each night gazing onto the water together and enjoying our wine and watching the sunset. In the morning we would take the dogs to the beach for some "fun time" and exercise before heading back to the house for a mid morning nap. Then we hopped in the convertible and headed towards Westport for some great shopping and sight seeing. 30 years ago, my partner and I would have never been accepted into a place like this and I guess with time, the wait was worth it! You've treated us so nice and your host Shaunna is so very sweet! Thank you for a most splendid 30th anniversary experience!" - Joy Reynolds and Erma Marx, San Antonio, TX, 05/06/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"I can't even describe to you how wonderful and perfect our weekend was. We spent a lot of time at the beach playing with our dogs which we realized we have totally been missing since we moved to Seattle from California. The topic of discussion was how relaxed we felt, and how nice it was to cook all our meals and watch the sun set. I am not sure if I had told you this in our previous discussions but this was a very special weekend for my "now fiancé" and myself. On Friday evening as the sun was going down we took the wine, cheese/crackers, and some other fun items to the beach. I popped the question and she was so excited and so surprised. The weekend was great, the house was amazing, and I hope that we left things in good enough order... We are already talking about how to get another set of couples together to have another weekend there. Thank you so much again and I am sure you will be hearing from us again soon! Thanks! " - Jason Kohler, Seattle, WA, 04/30/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"I just wanted to let you know that we completely relaxed and enjoyed our stay at Joey’s Beach House last week-end. The weather was crazy, but that made the trip even more of an adventure. Everything was as you said it would be, the house was beautiful, wonderful views, and the kitchen was stocked with every appliance imaginable! Thanks so much!!" - Misty Nordale and Family, Seattle, WA, 04/27/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hi guys, This was simply a wonderful trip! Having no idea what to expect of the Washington coast-since we had never been to the west coast-our visit to Pacific Beach, Washington was something of discovery and sadness. Discovery because we now know we want to live in Washington and sadness because we dreaded the day we had to leave Joey's beautiful home! You have the most beautiful home in this small and quaint community and it was such a treat to be approached by locals who were always commenting on how lovely you've staged and landscaped the home with such skilled aesthetics. It was also great to be greeted by a fully stocked kitchen, outstanding surround sound and a hot tub that literally melted every ache and pain from traveling. We look forward to sharing our trip with friends and family and all the wonderful memories made at Joey's Beach House. Thank you so much!" - Wayne and Melanie Kirkpatrick, Virginia Beach, VA, 04/24/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Shaunna, Frank, James, Joey and Georgie, I have to say, it is quite rare to find a place as special as Joey's Beach House! You two have made me and my husband believers!! In our quest to make our B&B back home an exceptional place, you folks have redefined what it means to offer so much more to people without compromising superior quality. Our grandkids were saying how much they loved all the stuff they can do during the rainy days from the Xbox 360, the huge DVD collection, tons of board games and puzzles. I would've never thought of the book collection as being something we could incorporate with our B&B but you guys have worked this seamlessly into your product with such a huge (and quality) selection of great reads! Our dogs even loved it thanks to your ultra plush beds and bedding. You folks are true pioneers in reinventing the wheel on pet friendly vacation homes. I anticipate people will look back at Joey's years from now and realize all they missed out on for their lesser projects. Major hotel chains could learn a thing or two from you guys as well! With that, we will certainly be back soon! Thank you so much for such warm and wonderful hospitality!

"We had a wonderful time in your home! It was everything that your ads and websites said it was. We have already recommended it to several of our friends. I did want to ask you about the print/picture you have in the stairwell of the building of the Deception Pass Bridge. My parents live near there and my dad is a bit of a history buff. He would love the picture. Again, we had a great time and hope to return sometime in the future! Owner comment: The Deception Pass photo/art is a piece created by Windjammer Gallery in Coupeville, WA and the glossy photo's are copies we ordered from the Coupeville Museum. Both places are located on Whidbey Island." - Wendy Lacy and family, Bothel, WA, 04/17/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"As advertised, this is a beautiful house. It offers a lot of amenities, is well equipped and is very comfortable. Our dog loved it, too!" - Doug Henderson, Sammamish, WA, 04/10/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"The house was wonderful and we hope to stay again one of these days. We were hosting friends from Japan and they were blown away by all of the amenities. We especially loved all of your kitchen gadgets! Nice touch with the coffee, doggie basket, tea, snacks, and wine. We've stayed in a lot of beach houses and Joey's and another beach house in Golden Beach, OR are now our favorites. On another note, can you share where you acquired the bathtub and fixtures in the downstairs bathroom? We may be remodeling our bathroom, and I loved the tub and fixtures. Maria Boehne, family and friends Owners comment: bathtub, shower and sink fixtures are from the "Pegasus Bamboo" line. When searching, put those 2 words in google as reference. Enjoy!" - Maria Boehne and Friends, Seattle, WA, 04/05/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hi guys! Had a great time at the house. It's crazy to think how much work went into this place. I can tell you it is so appreciated! It isn't often one finds a place like yours. When we were looking for the "right" place for our vacation, your's was the one we found at the eleventh hour thanks to our good friends Shawn and Marla Speedman. Word of mouth is a powerful thing and we will certainly be telling all of our friends about your wonderful home on the coast! Just wish we could've stayed longer! Perhaps we'll need to make another trip real soon. Thank you for such a great and relaxing experience:) Matt, Charlene, Toby, Ryan, Justin and Emily (the humans) Rolly (the canine)" - Matt and Charlene Jenkins, Blaine, WA, 04/04/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Joey's Beach House is a fabulous place! We enjoyed our stay very much as did our dog Chauncy. I loved the fact that you have fine sheets and towels for the dogs as to not have hair all over the furniture, it definitely helps! Thank you again!" - Carol Thommen and Family, Kent, WA, 03/27/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Joey's Beach House was absolutely wonderful! Everyone was so impressed with the beautiful home. Many (in my group) are already talking about when they want to return! Thanks so much, see you again soon! Andrea Larson, Marriott International Inc." - Andrea Larson, Newcastle, WA, 03/27/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What a great time this was! Joey's house is just gorgeous and it offers so much to people that enjoy "true" destination homes. My partner Eika and I are wine lovers and the key thing I love is you guys have the cutest wine cabinet that held all of the bottles of wine we brought. The complimentary wine is a wonderful touch and your choice of Whistle Stop Red from Snoqualmie Valley is one of our favorites. It's so peaceful here and the folks in this neighborhood are just so sweet! Being from the farmlands of eastern Washington, it was such a treat seeing the ocean from this wonderful home. Although you're not located on the waterfront, we were glad to discover that houses on the beachfront nearby are often frequented with passersby galking in the house windows which would thoroughly annoy me had we stayed at any of those! You guys have an ideal location without any major vehicle or foot traffic and it was a great safe place for our kids and pets to roam and play. We spent every morning walking the dogs to the beach and taking a stroll to the nearby coffee shop at the Navy resort on our way back. The barista there is awesome and makes a perfect cup of Tully's coffee (our favorite)! I would highly recommend your place to people who are strict about finding accommodations that are of the utmost quality and creature comforts. Another thing I want to mention is your book collection is something wonderfully extraordinary! I read 2 books while I was here and my son played almost all of your Xbox games, several of them he's wanted to play for quite awhile. My daughters got seriously addicted to Dance Dance Revolution:) You also have a great selection of board games and puzzles (most of them brand new) that kept us busy on the rainy days. I discovered my kids can play a seriously mean game of Monopoly! Who knew?? Thanks so much for everything! We'll be coming back this summer! Can't wait to enjoy those sunsets again! Annette, Eika, Emily, Justin and Carey (the humans) Boingo and Shiley (the canines)" - Annette and Eika Morales, Pend Oreille, WA, 03/21/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Joey's was all that we expected and then some! The kitchen is stocked so well compared to some vacation rentals that we have used. The floor plan was perfect for a group like ours. The help from our hosts Shaunna and Johnnie was very much appreciated. We will definitely recommend your home to other people!" - Rosemary Lowman and Family, Kingston, WA, 03/12/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thanks so much for such a wonderful stay this weekend. You guys are the quintessential property for people who love great taste! Let's just say, to sum up our trip, the beds will keep people coming back (including us). If it isn't the beds, it's the hot tub. If it isn't the hot tub, it's definitely the furnishings or the sound system or the plethora of little touches you provide your guests that no one else does. Ah, fooey, the entire home is just awesome! It's about time someone did something like this and it's so welcome to people like us who enjoy the finer things. Our dog Lucy was in total heaven the entire time and I think she slept more peacefully than I've ever seen her. Probably from all the running she did on the beach! We'll certainly be coming back here again. Thanks for everything. You guys are simply the best! John, David, Cameron, Ian, Marcus and Blake (the humans) Lucy (the princess)" - John Tatum and David Messner, Seattle, WA, 03/05/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hi there, We had a LOVELY time at your beach house! We really lucked out with the weather, apart from a little drizzle a couple of early mornings, it was sunny and beautiful! We loved the accommodations and appreciated all the amenities! Our English Pointer "Monty" was in heaven!! He really enjoyed the beach and all the friends he made. I took some great pictures, so I'll forward them shortly (for your website). We will definitely be coming back, so please remember us!" - Colleen Hild and family, Kirkland, WA, 02/26/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you so much guys for such a great place to escape to! Our lives have been so hectic so far this year and it was so nice to land here and just do nothing but watch the gorgeous sunsets. Our dogs loved every minute of it and the wine and snacks upon arrival were so great after the 3 hour+ drive! This is an experience like nothing we've ever had before! We do a lot of traveling for work and often visit our families on the east coast, mostly ending up in a hotel room that's less than desirable. Our trip was filled with beach combing, laying around the house, baking cookies (you have an awesome kitchen by the way) and enjoying all the gadgets and gizmos of this posh pad. My husband wants to know your secret on the surround sound because he was blown away by how you designed it. The cabinetry looked custom designed and the host told us you guys built and designed it yourself!?!? That's pretty remarkable! How many beach houses can say that??? I have to say watching a movie on this thing is pretty darn cool! Oh, we also loved that you had an iPod hook up! Why don't more people have these? That was a really nice touch along with the myriad of other nice touches you folks provide! The master bed was just wonderful. We didn't want to get out of bed in the morning, they really are exceptional in case your future guests ask. You guys have really thought of virtually everything and it was great to see something like this finally exist in our favorite town of Pacific Beach! Plan on us visiting you regularly. Next time we'll bring all our friends! Thanks so much!" - Steve and Emily Gregiore, Wenatchee, WA, 02/25/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"I wanted to send you a follow-up on our stay at your wonderful house this weekend! We left this morning at 10am, and we longed for more time even though we had 5 days. We cooked a ton, ate and drank all night - it was a great visit with good friends, and it was terrific time for the doggies too. I have to say, your kitchen was top-notch. We were able to do all matters of cooking that we would have had to do differently, had we not had the right tools. Waffles were so easy and fast. Our roast ham was beautiful. AND having a second fridge - that allowed us to keep all of the beer cold and on hand! The sheets smelled so good, and the house was just perfect. I have to say, you guys have done a really amazing job and I'm happy to recommend Joey's Beach House to all of my friends. We used up all of the paper towels and the dish detergent. We used just a couple of tea bags, and left the coffee that was there when we arrived. Those were such nice touches. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience. Ted, MereAnn, Doug, Miriam, John, Mara and Todd (the humans) Lucy and Obi (the canines)" - Jenny Richards and Friends, Seattle, WA, 02/19/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hi guys (and girl, sorry Joey), It was a wonderful stay, everything was great even with the weather being the way it is this time of year:) I have already decided that I'd like to come back for about a week this summer with the kids- I was definitely sad when it came time to leave! Thanks so much for all of your help while we were there! Melanie Smith and Family" - Melanie Smith, Chehalis, WA, 02/13/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Guys, we so appreciated your wonderful hospitality! This place is truly remarkable and stands out as one of the best places we've stayed in a really long time. The King bed in the master bedroom makes me wanna choke my bed at home and throw it out the window! I didn't wanna leave Joey's until my husband had to pry my fingers from the front door-LOL. Nah, just kiddin. We love the all natural bathing products. They smell so nice and it makes me wanna get some more! Can you send me some?Hehehe. Everything turned out perfect. My folks from Port Townsend came out and enjoyed the Superbowl with us. It was just divine! This is a great place for gathering your family and friends in one place for a truly tasteful and comfortable experience. It really is like the comments mentioned here say-"tasteful and tranquil." We look forward to coming back next year. Thanks so much for such a wonderful getaway and taking care of us. I'll be gettin the word out on your place in our neck of the woods in Chicago so hang tight! You might be a bit busy this summer! Best to you for an awesome 2008 season!

"Just want to let you know our trip to Joey's Beach House was very successful! Joey's sunshine dance worked beautifully! My wife, Marishka and I arrived on Thursday late afternoon. The sky was blue and there was a nice warm glow on the western side of the home. The sunset was excellent outside the big living room windows. Friday was also very nice with the beautiful sun streaming through the home. Friday, our friends and their pets showed up. We all agreed, Joey's Beach House is incredible! My wife and I have stayed in some very nice hotels, resorts and rental homes and Joey's is probably right on top of the best places we've stayed. The Marriott Waiohai in Kauai is really hard to beat for the location but Joey's Beach House-in several ways-is nicer! We really appreciated the quantity and quality of the appliances in the kitchen! There are few rental homes that I've seen that come equipped with a Panini Grill, Belgian Waffle Iron, Food Processor, Kitchenaid mixer and such. They really do add value to the rental experience. Our friends commented on the appreciation for the pet spa package which included sheets and nice towels for the dogs. They thought that was a real nice touch. We can't wait to be back! Thank you so much! Larry and Marishka Gill and friends w w w dot larrygill dot com " - Larry Gill, family and friends, Seattle, WA, 01/28/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you for such an exceptional stay! Your home beats any hotel on the market and makes me wish we could've stayed here longer. You folks are so sweet and the home is immaculate. We can't wait to come back in the summer and stay with you folks again. This was such a treat and it was what we really needed right after the Christmas Holidays. Can't wait to see all the media get their hands on this place in the coming months. It so deserves it! I can only say to the people reading your guest book; MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS NOW! THIS PLACE IS DESTINED FOR GREATNESS!! Mike, Elizabeth, Rodney, Marla, Abbey, Russell and Tommy (the canine)." - Mike and Elizabeth Turnbull, Eugene, OR, 01/22/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you so very much for making Joey's Beach House available for my family for Christmas. Those of us who were able to make it had a marvelous time. You have a beautiful, tastefully decorated home. You could not imagine my surprise when we saw the Christmas tree decorated in my new favorite Christmas colors. And to see the model fire engine and airplane just comfirmed that God has led us to the right place. My late husband was a firefighter and I work for an airline. Thank you again for the opportunity to enjoy time with our family in celebrating the birth of our Lord and Saviour in a practically perfect setting. Best wishes for a great 2008." - Sharyn Evans and Family, Kent, WA, 01/09/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Joey's is the bomb! My friends and the dogs had an awesome time here! If you're looking for nothing but the best of accommodations, Joey's is for you. If you're looking for cheap and kitschy, there are plenty in the area. Joey's IS NOT one of those. This is a place if you have pets and want to spend your vacation at a home that is truly exceptional, this is your ticket! Thank you Frank, James, Joey, Georgie and Shaunna (our host)! You guys have made an awesome retreat for us to come to every year. Can't wait to be back!

"We had a lovely stay at Joey's Beach House. The owners have definitely thought of every comfort and detail. It was just what we were looking for. The tea kettle impressed me most as I'm Scottish and can't get passed 4pm without a cup of tea and never understood why people in the states don't have electric kettles to boil water. My son Jake was impressed with your Xbox game collection. You had ones he did not and I believe he played at least two. This home is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. It is clear that the owners have really taken the time to make it a comfortable place to stay with special touches. I would recommend it to friends with or without pets! Much appreciated, Sharon, Rex, Stephanie, Jake and Rainey" - The Davison Family, Seattle, WA, 12/28/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Being from the mountains we wanted to do a last minute trip to the ocean since we hadn't seen the ocean in several years. We have 2 dogs that needed to run free on the beach, so, I called the owner up and asked if we could stay for a weekend (on a Wednesday mind you), what I got was a nice fellow on the phone who was funny and charismatic and had a wonderful sense of humor. We expected a nice bed, the hot tub (of course) and the nice furnishings from the pictures but we got so much more than that. This house is run by a family that is so connected and so loving, it was like we were checking in with old friends. The folks here have made a wonderful place to call home while you're at the beach and it deserves every form of recognition! We can't wait to come back in the summer! Thank you so much!" - Janine and Mark Sampson, Mazama, WA, 12/02/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"First of all, the house is beautiful! Second of all, where did these beds come from?? They are the most comfortable beds we've ever slept on! This house is a far off place from the crappy beach house we stayed at last year! The house is wonderful! Our dogs loved the place and we were so thankful you could accommodate us on such short notice. You guys have done such a great job. We are most certainly coming back to Joey's this Spring! Don't miss this extraordinary experience!" - Shelley Morano and Amy Bortelson, Portland,OR, 11/26/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you so much, we had a wonderful time at your house. It ended up just being the three of us. It was so nice to spend some time with just the family. We have had guests at our house since the end of October, so, some alone time was great. We got some very needed R&R. Brody got to see "ET" and loved it and Eric and I enjoyed relaxing with the fireplace and watching The Davinci Code. I couldn't watch the scary movies....I wouldn't be able to sleep for a weeks!! We explored Moclips, Seabrook, and Ocean Shores. We did get to the beach for a short time and were lucky to see a beautiful rainbow! In the morning, we made waffles with your waffle baker (my first time)! Your house is amazing. So much attention to detail. You guys have impeccable taste. Thank you so much!" - Eric and Dipti Cox, Seattle, WA, 11/25/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"They say things are better the second time around. Well, these guys certainly DO NOT let you down. We were pleasantly surprised to see distinct improvements to the landscaping, living and dining areas. There is so much love in this house and we are so thankful to have the chance to stay here a second time. This is the ONLY place we will stay from now on in Pacific Beach. There is no doubt this beach house will be the prime destination for travelers worldwide! Make your reservations now before they're all gone!" - John and Rachel Faulk, , 11/20/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What a wonderful home! Our time on the beach at Joey's Beach House was so fun. It was so nice to enjoy movies by a warm fireplace while watching the beautiful view of the mighty Pacific Ocean. The house is like something out of an upscale magazine! Such warm colors, classy design and tasteful furnishings. This is one of those properties you must see and experience for yourself. Thanks so much for such a memorable trip! We can't wait to be back!" - The Feltes Family, Vancouver BC Canada, 11/19/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"This was by far a wonderful breath of fresh air during our time in Pacific Beach! We didn't want to leave the house the entire time. The outdoor spa with the ocean view was tremendous. The two person shower with endless hot water-awesome! The furnishings, the linens, the decor, the neighbors (can you believe that?) were wonderful...the list goes on and on! It was great to see our family and friends who lived nearby and who we hadn't seen in years but quite frankly, it was so nice to "come home" to Joey's since it actually feels like "home" and not some cheap and kitschy vacation rental. Thanks so much!" - Steve Mason and Eric Walkins, Manhatten, NY, 11/08/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"The guys had a GREAT time at the house, according to them it had everything you could want and more. It really made my husbands birthday weekend a great one. I look forward to referring my friends and family! Thanks so much!" - Jaylia Lewis and Family, Bellingham, WA, 10/30/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What a fun place! Tasteful and tranquil. Comfortable accommodations and high end style. Thanks so much for a peaceful and wonderful stay! We had a great time exploring the North Coast with our "kids" Shasta and Gelato! The location is perfect and we can't wait for our chance to "escape the rat race" once again to Joey's Beach House! Cheers!" - Gary and Melinda Cole, Malibu, CA, 10/30/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hi Frank, James, Joey and Georgie! We enjoyed our stay at the house-it's beautiful and VERY comfortable. We'll have to make sure and take more time for our next stay! Thank you very much!" - Marlisa Fisher and Friends, Everett, WA, 10/15/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Fabulous accommodations guys! This is what vacation homes SHOULD BE but in all reality, they AREN'T! Have you seen beach houses near Joey's? It seems there are HGTV wannabe's nearby that have a half-assed idea of what "luxury amenities" means. Joey's Beach House manages to make the ordinary beach house something just a whole lot more special and transcends expectation! You can't deny the pictures and you certainly can't deny this place once you've seen it in person. It really lived up to the hype quoted from previous comments here! This is certainly a place for people who enjoy hotels like the "W" because Frank and James actually give a sh** about style and function. Way to go guys! You rock!" - Eric Wilkinson and Mark Tucker, San Francisco, CA, 10/15/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"It isn't often you find a place as special as Joey's Beach House. The warm colors, ultra fine decor and "true" luxury amenities make this a vacation spot that goes far beyond anything our family has stayed previously. With it's pet friendly accommodations you can even bring your furry friends to this beautiful place! Our kids loved the games and puzzles and every room has been tastefully decorated with rich fabrics and professional furnishings. The owners of this place leave no stone unturned. With the exception of a few problems with the TV remotes (why watch TV on vacation anyway???) our stay was filled with fun family time and a warm house that exceeds anything a hotel can offer. Don't waste your time with "knock-off's!" Put your money on a place that offers so much more, click on Joey's Beach House and make that reservation now before all the good dates are filled. It will no doubt be a very popular hot spot sooner than you think!" - The Thomason Family, Sacramento, CA, 10/09/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you so much for offering this wonderful home to us for a couple of days. We all had the time of our life. This place is breathtaking. There is no doubt we will be back. What a great investment. Thanks again!:) From Bailey, Mallory, Jessie, LIbby and Sammy" - Bailey Rasmussen, Spanaway, WA, 08/20/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you so much for the beautiful rental. The house is so amazing! Everything went really well. Loved that there were so many items for us to use. We really loved the house. We had plans to go bowling or out to eat, but none of us even wanted to leave the gorgeous place! Thank you!" - Jill Kuzaro, Seattle, WA, 07/24/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"I just wanted everyone to know how fantastic of a time we all had. The decor, the view, the accomodations. Very impressive. I will recommend this place to everyone who will listen. I would love to come back annually and have as much fun and relax as much. Thanks Again, very impressed guest. " - Lindsay Hobert, Seattle, WA, 07/24/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We would like to express our most sincere appreciation for allowing us to stay at the beautiful Joey's Beach House. It was a welcomed surprise to have such a tasteful and luxurious experience! Everything was perfect. We will recommend this place to all of our friends and family as this is quite simply a divine and inspired home. We've stayed in Pacific Beach and Moclips for years and this is by far, THE BEST place to stay in the area-hands down! It's rare that one finds a place with so much character, charm and warmth. The extra dollars one spends is greatly rewarded with distinct quality, superior furnishings and the best service of any beach house we've stayed thus far. Thank you so much! We can't wait to come back again!" - Ian and Melanie Taylor, Gig Harbor, WA, 06/28/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"This house is just as the ad describes, "exquisite!" It's hard to put into words the best about this home since so much of it is beautiful and most of all, "unique." You feel like you are staying in a family's beautiful home rather than a the ordinary kitschy "beach house." All the furnishings are custom built for this home so NO cheap IKEA or WalMart garbage to be found here. The site hosts were wonderful and took care of us our entire stay. We can't wait to come back! This home will certainly be our choice in the future and in years to come! Thank you Joey for such a wonderful stay!" - John and Rachel Faulk, 05/21/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Words can't describe this unbelievable home! You look at the details of every wall, furnishing and accessory and you can't help but fall in love with this place! To top it all off, pets are actually welcomed here! We've never stayed at such a beautiful place that offers so much. The 2 person spa shower is luxury at it's finest and the private hot tub on the bottom deck is a welcomed sight after a full day of play on the beach. The views are simply breathtaking! The moment you walk up those stairs and enter the threshold of the living room, it takes you by surprise at the expansive and awe inspiring view of the Pacific Ocean! All the beds are most certainly custom tailored with the finest mattresses and bedding. We were surprised to see they offer the Environmentally Sensitive Amenities that only the finest luxury establishments offer. The Almond Body Lotion is heaven in a bottle ladies! The owners of this place have carefully thought of everything and have made a true haven for those who truly enjoy the finer things in life and don't mind spending a little more to get a whole lot more for their money! Head to Pacific Beach, where the old seaside towns are still alive and well!" - Mike and Jan Miller, Seattle, W, 05/10/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
