Treat You Like Long Lost Friends

Boreas Bed & Breakfast Inn

My wife and I were looking for a romantic place to share our Valentine’s Weekend together, and we certainly found it thanks to Susie and Bill at Boreas. Our room was very clean and gave us a nice warm cozy feeling. We had a view of the ocean along with our own private bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable (not too hard –not too soft). Coffee was available around the clock, along with brownies and candy for a midnight snack. Our visit was very peaceful and we socialized with the other guests around the fireplace. They asked if they could help us with dinner reservations and offered the best choices that met our tastes. Boy are we glad we went with Susie’s Recommendations! My wife’s favorite food is Dungeness crab. Susie was able to get us into the last 2 openings for a Dungeness crab cooking demonstration (and tasting) at the same restaurant where we celebrated Valentine’s Day. The demonstration used 8 lbs of picked crab meat. We shared a nice quiet romantic time in their enclosed hot tub after our tasty Valentine’s Dinner. The breakfasts that Bill prepared were so delicious that we overate. Susie overheard us talking of needing someplace to go and walk it off. She told us the best places in the area to visit in order to get the best views of the various lighthouses in the area along with the waves crashing against the jetty. Susie and Bill treated us like long lost friends, and we could not have asked for a more personalized visit. We hope to return to Boreas during the warmer summer months, when we can spend more time enjoying their warm and cozy atmosphere.

Best Valentine's Weekend

My wife and I have stayed at Boreas twice now, both times on Valentine's weekend. Susie and Bill are outstanding hosts, making you feel welcomed and comfortable. The breakfasts are truly outstanding. Susie will make your dinner arrangements in advance at the best local resturants. The rooms are very nicely decorated and peaceful. The Inn's common area is perfect for reading and relaxing. I would recommend Boreas as one of the best places to stay on the Washington coast.

I was looking for a place for my husband and I to spend our 30th wedding anniversary. I was just browsing the internet and found the Boreas Bed & Breakfast Inn. I cannot even begin to say what a wonderful, relaxing and pampered weekend we had. Susie and Bill rate more than 5 Stars. They went above and beyond to make sure we lacked for nothing, making dinner reservation's for us, suggesting things to do and making us feel right at home and Bill's cooking is tremendous with the wonderful dishes he prepares for breakfast. We cannot wait to return.

Most Romantic B&B

Boreas Bed & Breakfast Inn

I stumbled across the Boreas Inn Bed & Breakfast on-line last summer when I was looking for an August get-away. I drove up from Portland to Long Beach without high expectations. Much to my delight and surprise, I found the most romantic, cozy, comfortable little Inn on the NW coast. With beautiful views, amazing beaches, the best breakfasts I've ever had (!), charming, gracious and knowledgeable innkeepers Susie & Bill, plus comfy clean rooms filled with fresh flowers from the garden, fluffy down quilts and pillows plus a nightly chocolate treat each night, the Boreas Bed & Breakfast was simply magical. I returned in October with my husband for a wonderful weekend foraging for mushrooms and we've already booked a room for next August during the Long Beach Kite Festival. I'd highly recommend Boreas to anyone looking for a great, romantic vacation.

No Place Like Home

Indeed there is no place like home. But, when life becomes to much I know there is a special place I can go and be at peace, relax to recharge my "self". And be with friends who are always there. Of course always, to hone my kiting skills. This I have done for over ten years. This was the first place I came back to shortly returning from the war in iraq. The homemade breakfast things, feather beds, wondering walks on the beach. And always uber amounts of wind to fill my kite sails! What more could this G.I. need. Many Thanks to Bill & Susie (really love you) Mary B

A Fantastic Dream Romantic Get-away

Boreas Bed & Breakfast has been a dream vacation for us for a number of years. It is quiet with the best dinning (breakfasts at the Inn are the highlight of the day)around at the Port Bistro. The other guests are frequently people we have met on previous trips making the experience like a family reunion. We can never spend enough time at the Inn. Five Star all the way! Larry & Donna

Boreas is our favorite getaway. We go each year for our anniversary. Susie and Bill are the most wonderful hosts and they take care of everything--dinner, massages, shopping, and marvelous conversation. They also have the best breakfast with the freshest ingredients. We travel all over the world and Boreas is still our favorite!
