I’ve been wanting to visit Seabrook, Washington for awhile now, so I was thrilled when my friend decided it was the perfect location for her destination wedding! The first thing Chris and I said to each other when we arrived, “This totally reminds me of Seaside!”…and that’s not by accident: Seaside, Florida (where we went last fall) was actually the inspiration for this new coastal community located on a bluff overlooking the ocean about 2.5 hours from Seattle. Both Seabrook and Seaside are considered “new urbanist towns” with their walkable, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, small lot sizes, access to green space, and sense of community….not to mention cuteness-overload with every single home you see! I got more of a Nantucket vibe in Seabrook, which I’m all for and loved!
Seabrook is a relatively new town, it was only established in 2004, and new construction is still going strong. The town has big plans for its future, with more homes and retail in the works. I can’t wait to go back to see how their vision develops and the region around Seabrook changes. Until then it’s still a great place to relax and get away from it all! About half of the 250 homes in the town are available to rent (though privately owned) and they are all SO cute…it was hard deciding which one to stay in. Later this week I’ll take you on a tour of the place we ended up renting…you’ll love it!
I first learned about the town through photographer Tracey Ayton and a photo tour she had on her blog, you definitely need to check that out here and I’m sure you’ll fall in love with Seabrook too! And for all you ever wanted to know about Seabrook and tons of photos/videos of the town, visit their website here!

Blonde in this City

WOW, I want to visit. Thanks for sharing!
Adorable and I like these new towns springing up that are walkables. Great photos.
I'm a turquoise-loving Washingtonian and had no idea this place existed. Thank you. Looking forward to visiting this town in the future.
I'm packing.
How thrilled to see your blog post this morning featured a picture of "Beachy Keen" the beachcamp bungalow we loved for a summer getaway to Seabrook. This town is a designer dream to walk around in and I came back to my design practice with a slew of ideas that have influenced my work all summer long.
Looks like such a sweet little place!!
I just got back from a week long family reunion in Seabrook! This is our fourth summer there and just live it for so many reasons. I have a HUGE family and we rented six houses this year. It's so nice to be so close to one another yet have our own space. Over the years, we had rented many different houses and it's so fun to see how they are all decorated. I stayed in Ocean Song this year and it has been my favorite so far. The only complaint I had this year was the weather. It was COLD! That's for sharing your story.
Thank you for highlighting our home Costal Haven in Seabrook! What a surprise when I was going through Pinterest to see our house!! I know you had a wonderful time as we love it there!!
I'm a Washington native and will definitely check out this cute little town next time I'm up seeing my Mom. Adorable!
It was so fun to see your post! I love following your blog! We live in Seabrook and own the Oyster House. I'm a turquoise lover and all of the interior door (and exterior Front Door) are turquoise! Seabrook is awesome and I know everyone will love their visit! Cheers!
