Lots of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. It’s time to have fun! Forest for the Seas is a one-of-kind getaway with something for everyone. With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths on 3 levels, the house sits in front of an amazing old-growth forest - just a 5-7 minute walk to the beach. With tons of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, 3 bikes and a ping-pong table in the garage, it’s the perfect place for e
very member of your family or group (including the dog) to relax in privacy. Pick your favorite spot, grab a glass of wine and enjoy the sounds of the ocean through the trees. Five large outdoor spaces to choose from:
• UPDATED Fire pit and yard: Our redesigned and expanded private fire pit is great for hanging out, with plenty of seating on beach-classic Adirondack chairs and a cool, custom driftwood bench. We've recently added a custom basalt rock fire pit - it’s the perfect spot any time, keeping you and your s’mores toasty and warm. The yard is spacious, with newly planted northwest coastal native trees, shrubs and grasses - a constant reminder that you are at the beach!
• The grand porch runs the entire front of the house and provides a perfect spot for relaxing with your morning coffee, reading a book, or just saying hi to your neighbors walking by. With two custom driftwood benches and additional locally made cedar Adirondack chairs, there's space for everyone.
• The side deck (off the living room) features an outdoor dining table for 6 and overlooks the fire pit and newly planted native coastal forest.
• UPDATED-Hot tub: The 6-person hot tub is positioned facing the beautiful, old-growth forest. With new pavers, a custom cedar bench to hold your wine and northwest coastal native plants -there's no neighbors on this side, and no one behind, you’re free to soak away your stress without interruption.
• The back deck (off the main floor) also faces the forest, with breakfast table seating and a large gas barbecue for the grill master. Hear the sounds of the ocean through the trees as you relax with a book. Gracious indoor common areas and three separate entertaining spaces:
• Kitchen and dining room: The full, upgraded kitchen features granite counter-tops and high-end cookware, a wok, a rice cooker, a crock-pot, a toaster and a blender for fixing up amazing meals. The dishwasher means you won’t be stuck washing up every night, and the 14-cup coffee pot and waffle iron will wake everyone up in the morning. There’s even a KitchenAid mixer and full assortment of baking pans (cake pans, loaf pans, a cupcake pan) if you feel like baking up some magic. The dining room table seats 8, with counter seating for 3 more at the kitchen island.
• The main floor is a completely open floor plan, so you can socialize all the way from the kitchen to the living room. The living area features comfy leather furniture with a beautiful gas fireplace that will warm up your feet and your soul. The TV has full cable with sports package, a Blu-ray/DVD player and in-ceiling surround-sound speakers.
