Each Seabrook homeowner has a unique and interesting story about why they join our community. Today, Carolee from Olympia shares her Seabrook Story of how she found a deep connection with her family while walking the Washington coast beaches.
“The Seabrook area holds a very special place in my heart. In the 1800’s, my great grandmother traveled from Gig Harbor to Pacific Beach to sketch and paint. A year ago, while following up on an auction item for the YMCA fundraiser named “2 Nights in a cottage on the WA coast,” I discovered the new beach town that is Seabrook. I was immediately charmed by the look of the town, the friendliness of those in charge, and the spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. I was sure my great grandmother had walked this beach.
I invested in an adorable townhome that sleeps four and has a clever floor plan. It is a Courtyard Cottage located near the town center, very close to all the shops, market, restaurant, town hall, and the bikes! A few minutes in one direction take you to Crescent Park and the indoor pool, while a very short walk the other direction brings you to the beach.
I named the townhome Mary Frances to honor my great grandmother and put it in the vacation rental program. The Seabrook Cottage Rentals office takes care of all the rental details so I just get a monthly check. When the rental season slows down during parts of the winter, Mary Frances is my go to spot for getaways with my husband or girlfriends. I feel very fortunate to have a home at Seabrook and to be a part of this great adventure!” - Carolee N., Olympia, WA

The Washington coast has long been known for its rustic splendor. While vacationing along the Pacific Ocean is nothing new, there is a very special story to be told – a story that starts right here, along the north beaches of Grays Harbor.
Beach towns aren’t a new concept. Every “new” beach town starts with a wide-eyed dream by a special enterprising entrepreneur. It should come as no surprise that the little towns of Pacific Beach, Moclips, Ocean Shores, and now the newest of them all, Seabrook (Sunset Magazine’s 2013 “Idea Town”) have come into existence to serve the tourist traveler of the respective day. Among many of these dreamers who have had hopes of hosting visitors to this coast was the tough-as-nails woman who started her own little beach haven on the WA Coast. The protagonist of today’s transition is the tenacious and infamous, Dorothy Anderson.
Dorothy Anderson was born in Norway in August 1891. She came to the United States in 1910 where she settled in Seattle to work for thirteen years in various city hotels. After a divorce and a desire for a change of scenery, she moved out to Washington coast community of Ocean City (located eight miles south of Seabrook). There, she fell in love with the area for its ocean beaches, its forests where deer and bear roamed, and for its abundance of wild birds. In so many ways, it reminded her of her childhood home in Norway and brought back fond memories of her native homeland. Feeling at home, Dorothy decided to build herself a beach cabin all her own.

The tales of how each new Seabrook homeowner discovers our beach town and decides to join the community are always interesting and unique. Mark and Iris (and their miniature poodle, Cooper) have been eager to share their Seabrook Story since the day they took their first walk around town and fell in love with the place.
“From the moment we rounded the last corner on Highway 109 and turned onto Front Street at Seabrook, we knew we wanted to be a part of this amazing community! After only a few memorable visits with our families and a personal tour with Casey Roloff, we decided that we wanted Seabrook to be a place for our family and friends to share and create their own memories. The team at Seabrook has made the experience of building our dream beach home so enjoyable and easy, that any worries or concerns we might have had were never issues. We feel so blessed that this has been such a rewarding experience and we are absolutely thrilled with our new beach house! We are certain that this will prove to be more than a great financial investment, but also a great investment in a relaxed and peaceful lifestyle. The most wonderful part about Seabrook is that it goes beyond the beautiful homes and the incredible location – the people who work and visit Seabrook are all so happy and content to just be here!” - Mark & Iris, Bellevue, WA
Now that their house is complete in Seabrook’s newest neighborhood, the Mill District, they are ready to spend a lot more time at the beach building traditions with family and friends. Welcome Mark and Iris!
With so many new things coming to Seabrook in 2013, we’re excited to welcome new homeowners and share their unique stories as well. If you’d like to be one of them, we’d love to work with you and help you build the perfect beach home for you and your family.

Some of the design selections by the Novogratz for the custom home
If you’ve already stayed at Seabrook you probably immediately noticed – every home is unique and special in its own way. One particular home in our
NW Glen oceanfront neighborhood, while still under construction, has wasted no time in creating its own one-of-a-kind story.
A custom home by celebrated house designer Lew Oliver, this beautiful vacation rental is not only part of Anthology | Storied Destinations collection of luxury homes across the country, but also headlines the Novogratz team as interior designers. You may have read about the talented Bob and Courtney Novogratz in magazines, caught their hit TV shows on Bravo and HGTV, or perhaps you’re familiar with their furniture line with CB2.
The home itself boasts some very special features as well. In addition to spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, a group of up to 15 can kick back in 3 master bedrooms, a Scandinavian hot tub, an entertainment courtyard with an outdoor kitchen, and a fireside lounge for the ultimate relaxation. Once completed in late Spring, 2013, this will undoubtedly be one of the most unique vacation homes in the Pacific Northwest.
Only one thing remains to complete the puzzle – a fitting home name that will tell the whole story. This is where you come in.
Submit your idea of what the house should be named for a chance to win a free 3-night stay at the new home, gift-certificates like massages and shopping credit from all the Seabrook merchants, as well as goodies from the Novogratz team for you to take home!
