Stay in the historic Klipsan Beach Life Saving Station (later known as the #309 Coast Guard Station) and enjoy a coastal vacation! Located just over a block from the beach, our property is perfect for family gatherings and reunions.
There is a large, fully fenced-in yard complete with a dog run, fire pit, grill, and gazebo. All three of our gourmet kitchens are fully supplied, easily allowing for home-cooked meals. We provide numerous movies, games, books, and enough other complementary family-friendly entertainment options to fill even the stormiest day!
The Upper Deck has two bedrooms and a full-size sleeper sofa in the living room; it is ideal for families with children!
The Lower Deck is the same size as the upstairs, but has a single large bedroom and an extra large living area, with a fireplace.
The Keeper's Quarters is located on the first floor in the historic barracks and has two bedrooms and a full-size sleeper sofa.
Visitors also have the option of booking all three units, giving them full use of the property and the ability to sleep up to 16 adults.
The station was first started in 1889 on a volunteer basis, and called the Ilwaco Beach station. It was built according to the “Marquette” style of life-saving stations, one of a number of standard station designs adopted by the United States Life-Saving Service.
