This is a wonderful little house just 2 blocks from the ocean. It's in a very quiet neighborhood and has everything you need for your stay at the beach. Sharon is wonderful too and is very easy to get a hold of and make reservations with. We had our Thanksgiving dinner there this year and it was perfect. We were able to cook a full meal and have a relaxing time at the beach as well.

I must say that my drive to and from Lincoln City was horrendous, in snow storms both directions. We were even stuck in LC for an extra day as the roads were blocked to leave town. The home was delightful and cozy and never lost power, although I did buy a couple extra candles and left them for future guests. The master bed was so comfy and my friend and I had everything we needed. The owner was quick to answer the phone or text when I needed her. The local community theatre had a great show on and we enjoyed it. Thank you so much for a week we will never forget! Loved the antique malls.

Owner response:Kathleen, I felt SO bad for that drive you made. But I was tickled that you and your friend were having a good time. I was happy to make sure you had some extra time to find that sweet spot to make the drive home. Please do come back....we don't have that kind of weather very often...really...honestly!

Our stay at this house was great. The kids loved the toy closet, and the 2 bedrooms upstairs were great. Everything about the house worked well for us. I loved the backroom with the tv and comfy couch, let the kids watch tv back there and we could use the living room. The full size table was fantastic for family meals, which we cooked a lot of during our visit, since the weather was less than desirable. The fenced backyard was great for our dog, and looking out the backwindow while enjoying a cup of coffee, I spotted a deer in the neigbors yard. Very cool. Loved the location. Walked to the beach, walked to the grocery store, where video rental machine available.

Fabulous Vacation Rental

We just spent a wonderful week in this homey vacation rental. What a treat! The home is equipped with everything we needed and the fenced in backyard gave us peace of mind for our two dogs. The beach was an easy walk away and the sunsets were unbelievable. We enjoyed oysters from Yaquina Bay, Crabs from the boat in Newport, and winning over 500.00 at the Casino! Score!! Now that we've found this ace of a property we plan on returning. Sharon was so very accommodating. Thank you Sharon. We look forward to visiting again.

Owner response:I am looking forward to your coming back and bringing your furkids with you! Thank you so much for the kind review.

We had an amazing time at the house with the purple door. Our kids and dog loved spending time in the fenced in backyard. We really liked that this house was well stocked with all the things that we needed for our stay. We also liked that the 2 blocks to the beach was a quick and easly straight shot with only 58 stairs down to the beach. We counted them everytime we went up them. We got our excercise!!! This was our second visit to the house and we will be back again soon.

My daughter & granddaughter stayed at this sweet little cottage July 27-Aug 3, 2011. My sister came out from Salem and joined us. The cottage is just as described and is equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning, sipping coffee and listening to the waves roll in & watching the birds chase each other from tree to tree. The beds were very comfortable. My sister was recovering from knee surgery and so having the master bedroom on the main floor was very convenient.The cottage was very clean (& I'm really finicky about that sort of thing). We had no problem accessing the wi-fi and we had 2 laptops with us. The cottage is on a quiet street which was just what I needed on vacation - quiet. I live in a big city with all the noise that goes with that, so I was looking forward to relaxing in a peaceful atmosphere - I got that. The location is perfect - perhaps 4 blocks to a grocery store (IGA), 3 blocks to access the beach, 3 blocks to the main road through Lincoln City that passes by shops and restaurants. We cooked most of our meals at the cottage, but did visit Moe's Chowder House in Newport - my sister said they made the best clam chowder. My daughter and I also checked out the Casino a couple of nights. If you enjoy Casinos - this one is really good. I liked it better than all of the ones I went to in Vegas. I would recommend this sweet place to family & friends - it's perfect for families or a group of friends getting together. The price can't be beat - we received more than our money's worth and I felt like I had hit the jackpot when the place was available during the time frame I had. Thank you so much Sharon for sharing your cute little place. I look forward to a return visit - maybe next year.
