Bloomers Property Management does an exceptional job of caring for, cleaning, and managing these cute units. They are in an awesome location and perfect for a couple on a weekend retreat, or if you are here for one of the great holidays on the Peninsula.

We stayed in #4:
Plusses: You are a block away from shops, restaurants, mini golf, etc., a short walk from the beach or you can drive and there's plenty of parking, property is in a safe place, bungalow is clean and smells nice. Great kitchen area with what we needed to heat up leftovers. Loved the convection oven unit. We also loved the
adirondack chairs on the deck. Bed is comfortable and we got good sleep. The property manager is available by text or phone and checks on you often to make sure your stay is going well.
Drawbacks: Ladies, if you need a large amount of space to get ready, it's not happening here. The bathroom is tiny. If the property put a mirror above the dresser, that would be ideal so that while one person is showering, the other can spread out and get ready there. Only one person fits in the bathroom at a time (think RV bathroom or smaller). It would be nice if the bathroom had more hooks to hang towels on and a shower organizer to hang on the showerhead for necessities. I put my products in the sink and popped my hand out to get each product as needed. For me (I'm not high maintenance), this set up was tricky but doable. I wish they had a smart TV rather than just cable, but we found movies to watch on the cable provided.
Overall, I gave this place five stars because the drawbacks weren't non-negotiables for me. This was perfect for me and my fiance and we will be back. The plusses were big for me especially walking wherever we wanted to go...love that. It's also only a short drive to Astoria, Seaside, etc.

No complaints. Basic clean accommodations in a central location. No views and could be noisy given our unit(#1) was right on the road, but we expected that. Nice short walk to the beach. It worked well for the few days we were there.

The accomodations were in great shape and there were plenty of dishes and towels, which was an issue with other places I have stayed. The wifi was alright and the cooking appliances were in great condition.
Being right next to the beach with vehicle access was awesome as well
There was a cleaning spot for my sandy pupper that loved playing in the sand, so nice bonus.
The jet tub was the perfect size and I'm 5"11 and a bigger guy.
The TV was a little small for the distance to the bed but it was a good picture, might bring a separate Bluetooth speaker like I did.
Parking was great and had a larger assigned space.
The floors were in good repair and presented a safe space for my pupper to roam.
The drapes were in good shape, but the one near the spa tub only had 1 set so I used a chip clip to hold it closed while soaking.
The owners were easy to communicate with and very polite.
The bed was king size and pretty comfortable for a person who like medium softness. The pillows were of 3 types, flat, semi soft and two packed ones. The variety made it easy to change up sitting positions.
I highly recommend them if your wanting to stay in a beach front accomodation.

We've been coming to the akari bungalows for years so sad to see Kathy's retiring

Great location and offers most of the amenities needed to feel like home. Stayed here many times over the years. Sad to see the new management has doubled the cost. We’ll be looking at new options now

We had a truly wonderful three nights in the bungalow - it exceeded our expectations - Kathy was a great hostess; the place was spotlessly clean, well-furnished, nice towels/toiletries, and had an amazingly comfortable bed and linens. She even provided coffee beans/grinder/two types of machines/sugar and cream. My only comment is that it was hard to control the water temperature in the (small) shower. Other than that - absolutely great in every way. Hope to stay there again.

Wonderful stay with family. Dog and kid friendly and so close to the beach. Kathy who is Akari's manager is the best. We had everything we needed for our stay. I really enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and the downtown stores. Would love to stay again.

The manager, Kathy, was very organized and attentive to details. She communicated check-in and check-out instructions very well and made sure we had everything we needed. She made our stay a wonderful experience.

We just spent 4 terrific days @Unit 4. Very comfortable bed, nice and bright space with close proximity to shops and restaurants and walking distance to the beach. The manager, Kathy, is great. She checked in on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. This is a little gem of a place, very relaxing stay.

The room is so cozy and comfortable. They provide everything but the food in the kitchenette area. The fireplace was perfect and kept the room just right. The deck was clean and peaceful, we had dinner out there. I especially LOVED the rocking chair. The room was quiet and felt like home right away. The bed is soft and cozy, everything was clean and fresh. There is dedicated parking for each bungalow which creates a sense of security, knowing I don’t have to search to find parking even if the place is full. The location, price, and quality are hard to beat! Can’t wait to go back!

Cozy bungalows in a great location. Comfortable bed, cute little kitchen, fairly big fridge for a rental, and the smart TV was a nice bonus. The "fireplace" kept the room fairly warm. The only downside was that we were asked to wash the dishes before leaving, but there wasn't a plug that plugged the sink, so washing, drying, etc was rather awkward. Also, we arrived in the winter, so the bungalow smelled musty, and my husband is allergic to mold so was congested all weekend. But for the price and location, it was a very pleasant stay.
