Summary: We thought the property was beautiful. Easy access to beach, easy access to call property manager. You can see the ocean from the bedroom and sleep with window s open and you can hear the ocean all night.

Summary: This wonderful place is a true GEM! The photos don’t do it justice and this place exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a beachfront place with amazing views and super easy access to a nice beach, both of which proved superb. My family and I loved the home. The location felt ideal; private but close to groceries/shopping and exploring the gorgeous nature that abounds. The home felt very cozy, roomy, and private, with lots of light. It was very clean, inviting and everything went smooth. The primary bedroom is super spacious and has an awesome deck completely facing the ocean. The front room is also built to face the ocean and enjoy beautiful sunsets while you eat dinner or relax and play board games. The backyard is fenced for pets to run around which was great but I recommend not leaving them by themselves since fence not very high and can jump over. The care, maintenance, and accommodations truly felt intentionally aimed to provide guests with wonderful home away from home experience. Very reasonable price for all that was provided. Thank you for a wonderful stay. My family and I truly enjoyed!

Summary: We spent 5 nights and was the perfect getaway with our boys (ages 13-18). Never experienced a view like there is from the master bedroom. Started each day with a beach walk and then ventured either up into Oregon or down into the Redwoods. We read the reviews about the stairs and it's just because it's a split level. Our boys had places to escape which meant mom and dad could take in the views from the sun room. Also met the owners on the way out and heard how they'll continue to be making further improvements as they are newer owners and taking great pride in the place.

Summary: The property was all we expected: on the beach, clean, well furnished, great views. It does have a lot of stairs, and some curtains in the master bedroom would be nice.

Summary: Wonderful home and location. We will definitely be back!
Brian S. Jun 27, 2023 11:00:30 AM
Summary: Great cottage on the beach. There are quite a few stairs inside the property, it has 4 levels, but that didn't deter us much. The only reason we didnt give them 5 starts is due to trash. There are 4 other rental rooms on the same property and they all share 1 trash can. With 4 people staying, we had quite a bit of trash and to our surprise, the single trash can for the whole property was full. The property manager quickly responded to our text, but storing trash inside the house we are staying in was less than ideal. Overall a great place to come back to after a day of exploring the sites!!
