Let me start by saying that our stay at the Pearl Inn was wonderful. The owners were attentive, delightful to talk to, and kept the place clean and organized. We stayed at the Pearl Inn for the week of the Kite Festival in August 2024, and we were very glad to have chosen this place to stay in. The close proximity to the town of Long Beach allowed us to have a short commute on the days that were good to fly kites on, whereas on the overcast, rainy days, it offered easy access to head into Astoria or hike over by Cape Disappointment. From reading their binder about the history of the Pearl Inn, I learned that the house was built in 1912. The owners fixed the place up quite well, especially when considering the age of the house, while still retaining quite a bit of the old charm. That being said, there are some things that do come with an old house: The walls are thin, the floors and stair boards do creak, and the rooms are typically a bit smaller than what you’ve probably come to expect in newer buildings. However, and as I mentioned previously, these are side effects of being an old house, and in my opinion, adds to the charm and character of staying in a historical building. In summary, the Pearl Inn delivered us everything and more when it came to our week-long stay in Ilwaco. From the cozy bedroom to the incredible morning breakfasts, and much more in between, our stay at the Pearl Inn was very memorable. We would highly recommend this place to anyone that appreciates the charm of an older building, and we plan to come back again. If you’re reading this Ken and Candi, which I’m sure you will be, we both thank you very much for our incredible stay at the Pearl Inn. We’ll see you again.

Our only critique was that, as side sleepers, the bed was quite firm in the Columbia room. For those that don't sleep on their side, this wouldn't be an issue.

It's such a cute place in Ilwaco ... so really close to the waterfront and the Saturday market. Close to Long Beach for food and shops. A 15 or 20 minute easy drive to Astoria. Also close to Beards Hollow where you can hike or drive right into the beach. And the Cape Disappointment lighthouse. It's really well appointed and the bed was really comfortable. The period decorations are well done but the house has modern amenities. Will definitely come back. Paved easy parking.

You can sometimes hear people coming up the stairs. I don't mind because I also live in a very old house with it's quirks.

My boyfriend told Ken he enjoys fried clams. What did Ken do? For our last breakfast, he made him fried Razor clams. Ken also told us where we could get a good beer. The hamburgers there were delicious! Thank you, Ken, for making our visit so special!

The amazing game room located in the basement, wonderful prepared breakfast, location to the beach was perfect, Saturday market was cool.

Splitting hairs but the add for the room said air conditioning which the building does have I think but the room does not have its own. Other then that it was a perfect stay

It’s fresh and clean, even while holding the antique furnishings. Enough modern to be convenient, while furnished to encourage you to step back to simpler times and relax. Close and convenient to the Ilwaco Saturday market, Salt Pub, and a quick drive or bike ride to Long Beach & Seaview. As a wedding performer, this will be my new home base when in the area!

Looking forward to seeing how the meals come out- I missed them this visit.

This Bed & Breakfast was a perfect spot for my family during our visit to the coast. The hosts were so friendly, and went out of their way to accommodate the addition of an extra guest in our party. The cottage we stayed in was so cheery and modern. I will definitely stay here again if I’m in the area!

Clean. Nicely decorated. Friendly staff. Good conditions for sleeping—dark, cool, comfortable, quiet. Game room, treats, doors unlock with codes. Written instructions. Good location.

Breakfast was not great. Egg dish seemed overcooked. Couldn’t really eat it. Hash browns not good. Bacon ok.

We enjoyed the recently restored home that was comfortable and beautifully furnished. Paris was friendly and accommodating. The Pearl Inn was a great find!

The only disappointment was that the state had not issued the license to serve food so we didn't get to enjoy what I know will be an awesome breakfast! I'll just have to visit again.

Location is in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to dining options along the waterfront. House and room newly renovated and spotless (loved the bath products too). Paris is a very accomodating host, quickly to respond to our questions/needs and gave us some great recommendations for dinner. Would definetely stay again!

Loved this guesthouse! While the decor was quaint and old-fashioned with lace curtains it was all bright and cheery and not old and dark, the woodwork throughout the place was superb! Had the best avocado toast for breakfast - We walked down to the docks which was beautiful. A really nice place to visit!
