We loved our stay here. The place is nicely furnished and has a very well-appointed kitchen. It's also more spacious than the photos suggest; our 11-month-old had a wonderful time racing up and down the long hallway that connects the bedrooms. It's also very quiet; we didn't hear the people staying in the duplex next door. Although the ocean view out the living room window is somewhat obscured by the Shilo Inn across the street, the location is very convenient for accessing a long stretch of beach as well as the Nye Beach shopping/restaurant area.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children.
Owner response: Hilary, We are so glad that you found the duplex to quiet, spacious and in a great location. I love the long hallway, too, like your son, but because it separates the bedrooms from the living areas so well. We would love to have you and your family come again! Nancy & Steve

Easy to find with great double garage for a start. Cool tourist areas within walking distance in addition to huge beach across the beach. So much better than hotel rooms for multiple couples. Lots of local eateries to choose from too. First class tv, internetn kitchen dining open to living room. Very clean . Get dibs on the master suite if you ca. Bed was great. No complaints about the others too.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with young children.

I stayed here at the end of August with my son, husband and parents (in their 70's), and had a really nice time. I can highly recommend it. The owner was very helpful with information, and the duplex is cozy, beautifully appointed and maintained. Kitchen (as noted) has about everything you would need. Not sure the photos completely do this property justice, although they convey the idea. Partial view of the beach was not as relevant for us because most days were pretty misty/foggy! However, it was a nice base from which to go to the Aquarium, the Bay, and Nye Beach. We walked on the beach, flew kites, and also walked to Nye Beach restaurants and shops, as well as to the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse and park.Owner response: We are so happy that you and your family including your parents had a lovely time at our duplex! We love the central location too. Having a well stocked kitchen with the right appliances and cooking tools is important. I spent hours looking through my own kitchen and making lists of what was needed when I purchased everything for the duplex. I'm glad you found it to your liking. I will work on trying to get some better pictures on the website, but at least future renters know how nice the duplex is from your wonderful review! Thank you, Nancy & Steve

We were very happy with our stay at this duplex. It was clean, comfortable and contained everything we could ask for and more. It was right across the street from the beach [80+ stairs access], and the beach itself was quiet, clean and beautiful. I am sure we will be back to stay!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at our duplex and found everything to be clean and comfortable. We strive for our guests to experience that feeling of "home" if not even better. We love the beach at Newport. It is so long and wide and great for playing for taking walks. I enjoy the ever changing sand designs that the wind creates. Hope you can come and stay with us again! Nancy & Steve

Thank you Nancy & Steve for sharing your lovely house with us! It was everything we hoped for and much more. The photos posted here accurately reflect the house as it is - very clean, organised and well maintained. Nancy - your beautiful decor, attention to detail (ample cutlery, nightlights in the corridors, extra fold out table and chairs, basket of sand toys in the garage, hairdryer in each bathroom), well stocked kitchen with top of the line appliances, quality furnishings and household items made us feel very welcomed and pampered indeed! The house is very centrally located with easy access to the beach, grocery, Nye Beach and the historic bayfront. We based ourselves here for 4 days and explored the stunning Oregon Coast Northwards ( Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area and Lighthouse, Agate Beach, Depoe Bay and Lincoln City) and Southwards (Waldport, Yachats, Cape Pepertua). Gorgeous! Dealing with Nancy was a pleasure and a breeze from the first e-mail I sent. There was clear instructions for everything (posted strategically) in the house and Nancy was always warm, and more than helpful and accommodating when we had questions. Don't forget to check out "Nancy's Favourites"! We did and was rewarded with a fun afternoon of watching sea lions on the habour at the bayfront. My daughter declared that one of the highlights of our trip was "Nancy's House!" and I couldn't agree with her more. We definitely will want to come back!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you so much for your glowing review!! I do try to stay on top of all the little details that make a stay one to remember positively. I am glad you found everything you needed and making your reservations was a pleasant experience. So sweet the your daughter feels the same way you do and loved, Nancy's house. We look forward to your family returning! Nancy & Steve

Nancy's home is a beautiful and spacious place, full of light and super clean. The location was perfect for my fiancé and me since we had guests staying at the Elizabeth Street Inn across the street (it's also right across from 3 other hotels), making it very simple for our friends to drop by. You can see the ocean from the living room and walk right down to the beach. Elizabeth Street is not a high-traffic street, even in the high season. The bed was very comfortable, and there's beautiful lush greenery that the master bedroom looks out upon. She provides a gas grill, locked garage parking, all new appliances, cookware, utensils, china... jacuzzi tub... glass-walled shower... every knob, door and fixture works perfectly. She even provides a little tool kit, which was great because I needed to use the pliers once, and would have been a bummer to have to go out and get something like that. Things like an iron and ironing board... These are the small details that other places don't bother with, and if you have stayed in other rentals, you know how convenient they are to make your stay go smoothly. You get top-notch treatment and for the price she charges, it's all pretty incredible. Thank you Nancy for providing a cozy nest for us to start our new marriage together in!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: First of all, thank you for choosing our home in Newport to celebrate your newly married life together! That alone is the biggest compliment you could ever give. Then to go on an mention the location, cleanliness, and amenities....well, now I am blushing! The location of our duplex is great and centrally located. We are set back off the street and the property is very quiet. The long driveway allows for several vehicles, a boat or RV to park. The attached single car garage is especially nice on rainy days. I am glad you found the tool kit to be handy and helpful. How can you have a house without a tool kit? We use it every time we visit. Thank you for the wonderful 5 Star Hotel rating and the GRAND review!! Nancy & Steve

We had such a wonderful stay renting this place. There was everything we needed at the house for our stay and we couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you Nancy for making our vacation so relaxing and comfortable. It felt like our home away from home. We cannot wait to come back.Owner response: Jennie - We are so glad you had a wonderful time at our home and were pleased with the amenities! If a vacation is not fun, relaxing and comfortable then it's not really a vacation, but just a "trip" instead. That is what we aim for in our vacation home. We want everything from the linens, kitchen appliances to the beds/furniture to be top quality. My passion is design, so if items are not functional and comfortable, then they do not serve their purpose. I truly hope you and your family will come back again and thank you for the great review!! Nancy & Steve

I stayed at this side of the duplex for 5 months. It was the first time that Nancy and Steve rented long term and I am sooo glad they did! This place is a true gem in the ruff!! Nancy has the place stocked with everything you need, high quality all around, very comfortable beds including the bunk bed with a full size bottom bunk! The bathrooms are great with a nice finish and the garage is very spacious. There is even a grill down there for afternoon bbq's. I highly recommend either side of the duplex. Nancy and Steve really put alot of TLC into both! I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did. Thanks Nancy and Steve!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Talk about GEM....we are so grateful you contacted us for a long term rental during the winter months! You were our first long term renter (and hopefully not the last) and you were the PERFECT tenant. You took such good care of our home and we were so comfortable having you look after the duplex. We are so grateful to you. We loved meeting you and spending time together when we came for a visit. We wish you only the best that life has to offer! Fondly, Nancy & Steve

Thank you for sharing your Newport home with our family this weekend. This is a beautifully decorated home that was also very comfortable for our whole family to enjoy the beach and then have a nice dinner and spend a few hours playing cards. There were so many special things about this home that I just can't stop raving about this stay. When we visit Newport again I will be renting this again.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, families with young children, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: We are tickled pink that you were able to stay as our guest at the duplex in Newport! I'm glad you were our first guest to use our new granite top buffet dining piece, new living room chair and new cookery in the kitchen. We try really hard to constantly update and improve on our furnishings and the upkeep on the duplex is a priority to us. We want our guests to love their surroundings and be happy they chose our duplex for their stay in Newport. Thank you for the wonderful review and glad you will be coming back!

Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: Nancy purchased the first half of the duplex in 2004. It was a dream come true for her! Steve and Nancy were dating then and when Steve went up to Newport to see the property, he knew she had made the right decision, as he was just as excited about the town and the property. Since then, we got married and this is our home away from home. Nancy is a professional property manager and Steve is the director of a juvenile hall. We both enjoy long walks on the beach. Nancy's interests include interior design, gardening, cooking, reading and listening to music. Steve loves to be outside taking walks, gardening, reading, and watching sports. Steve also enjoys the symphony, opera and theatre. We hope you enjoy your stay at Blair's Beach Retreat as much as we do!
Why the Owner Chose Newport:
I fell in love with Newport, Oregon back in the early 90's while driving through town along Highway 101. There was something about Newport that stayed with me all these years and when it came time to purchase a home, I immediately thought of Newport. I planned a week long vacation and met with a realtor. This was in October and I had sunny weather the entire week (they call this realtor's weather). This was the PERFECT place for me being across the street from the ocean and with a view of the waves no less. The town is adorable with two lighthouses, Historial Nye Beach and the Historical Bay Front areas within blocks of the duplex. The duplex is located in one of the best parts of town for a vacation home. The other reason I choose Newport is because the town is the county seat with all the facilities right there; a library, several stores, casual and fine dining, the Visual Arts Center and the Performing Arts Center with their own symphony. Newport is more than just a tourist area, it is a home away from home. Even after all these years, I'm at peace when I drive into Newport.
We owned the other half of the duplex and when this side became available to purchase in 2007 and Steve and I jumped at the chance to own the entire building. Now it is possible to rent either side individually, or both sides for that larger group, family gathering, wedding party, or corporate retreat.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
We love to walk on the beach! The ocean and it's shore is constantly changing; from the wind swept sand designs with new and interesting patterns made daily, to the ocean waves in a storm and finally to the sunsets that are breathtaking. As my father said after a nice walk on the beach, that he truly understood why we chose Newport Oregon as our second home and had this to say, "If you ever doubt the power of the Universe, come to the Oregon Coast".
