About the host
Hosted by Aaron and Holly Steele
Hi, I’m Holly — a Registered Nurse of 30 years, mom of two grown children and originally from the East Coast. I spent my childhood summers on Cape Cod, and those memories inspired the creation of Riptide Retreat. My husband Aaron and I raised our family in Olympia and always dreamed of owning a cozy beach retreat on the coast. That dream became reality with Riptide Retreat, and we’re so happy to share it with guests like you.
We take great pride in keeping the home clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked — the kind of place we’d want to stay ourselves. Every year we add a little more to make it even better, and we hope you’ll feel the care we’ve put into it during your stay.

Why they chose this property
We chose this spot on Copalis Beach because it truly offers the best of both worlds — nestled between the energy of Ocean Shores and the charm of Seabrook, yet surrounded by peaceful natural beauty. The two-acre property is framed by trees, giving it a private, tucked-away feel while still being just minutes from dining, shopping, and adventure. It’s the perfect blend of coastal quiet and convenience — and exactly what we were looking for.
What makes this property unique
Riptide Retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and direct seasonal beach access — something you don’t often find on the Washington coast. Set on two secluded, wooded acres, the home feels like a peaceful hideaway, yet it's just minutes from restaurants, shops, and activities in both Ocean Shores and Seabrook. The house is thoughtfully stocked with family- and pet-friendly touches, and we’re constantly improving it to make every stay more comfortable. The seasonal private beach path and views of the ocean and sunsets from the deck make it truly special.
