We arrived to the Outdoor Resorts Pacific Shores Motorcoach Resort on July 21, over a week ago. We purchased this site last year in September the day before we left the area. We were just taking a drive through the resort to see what it looked like. There were several sites available for sale including this one. We offered a contract to the previous owner and left the next day before we even knew if he had accepted the offer. Well, he did !
We fell in love with it because it had a view of the ocean but also a view of forested area plus a level grassy area right in front of our motorhome. It seemed perfect for meeting all of our "emotional needs"...... ocean view , forests, grass, a garden and mountains in back of us.

There are so many plants in this strip along our driveway that we are somewhat overwhelmed. I decided to count what is here. There are
- 10 ferns,
- 1 rhododendrum
- 3 large hostas,
- one holly tree,
- one blue spruce tree,
- two pine trees,
- a hedge of some kind that borders the back and side of deck area,
- two trees that I have no idea what they are,
- one very tall (about 6') wide leafed ornamental grass plant,
- herb plants (mint, rosemary)
- plus several varieties of ground cover.
When our friend Anne came here to stay awhile in June, she told us that it was very overgrown. We had no idea how overgrown until she sent us a photo of what it looked like when she arrived. She spent part of her time here clearing some of the overgrowth plus hired a person to trim back the hedges and help her clear the area. When we arrived last week, we then spent about 4-6 hours each day continuuing to clear the area of undergrowth. We are very grateful to Anne for all of the work she did to help us.

So this is our little bit of heaven.
We will be here until early or mid September.

I'm not sure if you still post here or read comments, but if you do, I'd love to get your opinion on this place. We looked at it this weekend, and were told the management is in turmoil, but they are hoping to get it straightened out. We'd like "insider" info if you'd be willing. That is... if you still own your site there. Contact me at jet6363@yahoo.com and I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. :) --Joyce
