This little place was actually better than the pictures. Everything was nice, new, and well taken care of. The owners of the property went out of their way before, during, and after our stay to keep in touch with us. Located in Yachats, it's nice and quiet yet easy to get to towns that are a little larger. There are many tidepools nearby. This is a wonderful place to stay. Our family of four (16 year-old and 8 year-old) had plenty to do to keep busy. My teenage son loved the Dish TV. We hope to return one day!

Like before, we found a very clean and comfortable place, a truly HOME AWAY FROM HOME. When we had trouble with the TV the owner was there in 2 minutes and set us straight. My wife likes to cook and she enjoyed the kitchen, which was well equipped and easy to work in. It's definitely a place to come back to.

The place is great. VERY clean, quiet, comfortable, well equipped and close to the beach. In addition, it is close to Newport, if you need the big city, and Waldport and Yachats, if all you need is a few groceries. If you seek adventure there is plenty in both directions. There are a whole bunch of brochures for different things on the counter and people who have signed the guest book have made a number of suggestions for other guests. I highly recommend the place.

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon last week and absolutely loved it! The place is even better than the pictures make it seem. Very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The view was great as well, as we could see the ocean from the living room. The beach was just steps away from the place, but we didn't spend much time there because of the wind. We had some rainy days and some sunny days and were able to explore the area as well as cocoon inside. Yachats itself is a cute little town. It has a lot of rocky beach in the town, but since we were a couple miles north, we got a long stretch of sandy beach right in front of the property. The best of both worlds. However, a lot of the shops in town were closed at random times because it was the off season. I do have a word of caution though-- I have celiac disease and have to eat only gluten free foods, and the one restaurant in town that advertised that they had gluten free options (The Drift Inn Historic Pub & Cafe) actually didn't have the menu properly labeled. If something says it is vegetarian or gluten free on their menu, make sure to grill them about how it is prepared because I found several discrepancies. Even with asking a lot of questions, I still became sick from gluten contamination in my supposedly gluten free food. Other than that though, our experience in town was great. The owners were wonderful all throughout the process before we arrived, and came to say hi to us once we got there. Very nice people and they genuinely cared about us and how our stay was. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and have already told my family and friends that they have to stay here. It was an incredibly relaxing vacation because of the great accommodations we had. Thank you to the owners for making it so! By the way, if you do go, you'll want to make the drive south from Yachats to Florence-- some of the most beautiful scenery on the Oregon Coast!

My girl friend and I stayed here while attending a yoga workshop in Yachats. What a delight, big kitchen, open great room, walk to beach is around 150 feet. There is a house in front of this proptery, but it's one story and this apartment is on the 2nd story. Rooms are large and has an easy flow to it. Do read How to work the showers... it's easy, but something I have not run across and saves you from running around in your bithday suit! I'll be back!

My husband and I stayed four nights and can't say enough good about our experience. The apartment (very charming) delivered everything in the listing and then some; spotless, spacious, and very well appointed. The views are great and you are literally steps from the beach. We truly appreciated having ALL the comforts of home available to us. I'm already planning a girls' trip in the spring! Lastly, we had the pleasure of meeting the owners who made us feel very much at home - thank you for making our vacation so relaxing and enjoyable!

Our Sand Dollar Pacific Ocean Yachats OR Property #130531

We arrived late at night after an 11 hour drive from California, the unit was unlocked as promised and we were happy that the owner had turned on the heat (it was raining cats and dogs and cold at our arrival). We were very pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness, the nice fresh smell and the warm atmosphere; in short it was homey. After a long night rest we went to the beach, watched the waves and the pelicans and seagulls, went back for breakfast and believe it or not, found that beautiful bag of aromatic coffee. Compliment of the house! We spend 4 days in heaven.
