We chose your place specifically because it wasn't for children or pets (we have pet allergies). We sure enjoyed looking at the ocean (from a warm nest) when things were raining and blowing outside! We look forward to coming back sometime when there are boats in the bar.

We loved the fact that your place is pet-free...because we have pet allergies. We experienced (and enjoyed) amazing rain and wind during our stay, but it always cleared up every day for great walks! However, no boats were coming or going due to storm conditions, so we look forward to returning when we can enjoy those sights too. Thanks for a great time!

We had a wonderful stay at the "Crow's Nest"! Owners were exceptionally accommodating and the place is well-maintained.. Many fun places to visit and see surrounding the Barview area...Enjoyed the slower pace and quaintness of the smaller coastal towns. P.S. The bed was oh sooo comfortable!

We enjoyed our weekend at the Crows Nest. The view was spectacular over the jetty. We appreciated how light, comfortable and clean the house is. We look forward to a return trip.

Thanks for providing the perfect accommodations. Although we had rain, it just didn't matter as we had a great view and got out along the coast in our rain gear and walked the beaches. The Crows Nest was clean and comfy...the sheets must be 600 thread count. The big, fluffy brown towels were fabulous, even the pots and pans were top of the line! I highly recommend this space. I wish we had stayed a week! Thank for providing such a clean and well maintained space for us. I also highly recommend the "Artspace" a few miles south of Rockaway Beach. Good people, food and location! LP

Relaxing!

The house was exactly as advertised. Comfortable, quiet, clean. Nice furnishings. I liked the fact that it is a 'no pet' house so there's no funky smells. The kitchen is very user friendly and provided all the cookware and dishware that we needed to enjoy all of our meals without ever leaving the house. The County park is a nice gateway to walking on the beach. Quiet neighborhood. Overall a nice peaceful location for a couples get away. We will definately stay here again.

We had a great time at the Crow's Nest. The weather was great. The Crow's Nest was awesome and the view and sunsets were very memorable. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely place with us. Many great places for hiking near by.

Thanks for sharing that cute place with us. We arrived on Thursday afternoon to some nice weather and a great sunset. Friday was beautiful, we enjoyed the deck with another fine sunset. We got some fresh cooked crab in Garabaldi and that was dinner on Saturday night. All three days we were entertained by many many boaters fishing right in front of us. Thanks again, we enjoyed our stay at Crow's Nest.

The beauty of the Crow's Nest is that it is in the middle of everything, but away from it all. After a hectic day in Cannon Beach ( lots of people) or the Tillamook Cheese Factory (even more people) it was wonderful to return to our serene little cottage, sit on the deck with a glass of wine, watch the boats go by and the sun sink slowly into the Pacific. The location is great. We toured up and down the North Coast from Astoria to Newark in the week we stayed with relative ease. Don't miss the Quilt Trail in Tillamook and the charming museum filled with vintage quilts and needlework and a passionate dedicated staff who work hard to keep these fading arts alive. The Newark Aquarium was really wonderful and so was the Tillamook Air museum. The Crow's Nest is within walking distance of the beach. Seriously, out the door, down the stairs and a half blook down the street. So beach time is always within reach. We loved the little town of Manzanita and the lovely beach and cute shops. The maritime museum in Astoria is great too and they had a wonderful street market on Sunday. Yummy pastry. Rockaway Beach and all the funky touristy shops was fun. We just had to indulge in the multitude of flavors of salt water taffy and fudge. Oh yeah, and Ray says if you haven't had cheese curds you are missing the boat, so when you do the tillamook cheese factory pick some up. Maybe the best part of our stay was being there during blueberry season. Barb, the owner of the Crow's Nest left some of her homegrown blueberries in the fridge as a welcoming gift. I had them on my cereal every morning and they were fabulous. We stayed the last week in August. I didn't want to leave. Don't miss this really charming little place. Happy traveling, Trish and Ray Denver, CO.

We had a very comfy stay! We appreciated the extra's not often found in rentals - dish soap, coffee/tea, laundry soap.... We enjoyed the vacation & the Oregon Coast very much. We missed having wi-fi - and have made the suggestion to the home owner. It's a good location for exploring both the Oregon coast and the Tillamock State Forest. We had several splendid hikes during our time there.

Wonderful Oceanview Home

This is a beautiful home with a wonderful ocean view. We really enjoyed our stay. There are added extras like a telescope and binoculars to make your stay even nicer. It is only a few minutes from both Garibaldi and Rockaway Beach so you can enjoy them both. Great location to go fishing or crabbing.

We enjoyed making our own gourmet meals here while looking at the awesome Pacific waves. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a variety of glassware for specialty drinks. This retreat was comfortable, quiet, private, and very clean. We hope to stay again there soon!

We enjoyed six wonderful days at the Crows Nest, walking on the beach and just getting away. So many rentals on the coast are musty or even mildewy -- not this one. It is new and spotless. The furniture is comfortable and beautiful. The kitchen is fully equipped with nice stuff, not with odds and ends. The bed is firm, no sagging. The shower is great with plenty of hot water. There is a restaurant just down the road with lots of fresh local seafood. After years of looking, we've found the place we'll go back to.

Sitting on the porch in the evening, watching the horizon sip the sun is just one of the many advantages of spending a weekend at the Crow’s Nest. We thoroughly enjoyed the view and the time we spent cooking meals and hanging out in this beautiful house. Overall an excellent weekend; we’re looking forward to returning soon.

Had a great stay at the Crow's Nest! The weather got stormy and blew out our power, but we enjoyed that! Price is average for a place like this. It is nicely remodeled. Great view! Want to return in the summer when it's warm to enjoy the deck.
