The Unique Benefits at this House
As a young 20-something couple we honeymooned on the Oregon Coast and fell in love with it. We always had a dream to own an ocean front or ocean view vacation home in the area... now we do! The Yaquina House is in a great location, immediately adjacent to the park and a short walk to either Nye Beach or the Bay Front areas. We love to just gaze out at the ocean and what a great place for bird watching... the variety of birds are amazing.

[entered from printed guestbook] We bring our first ever Girl's Weekend to a close. The travelers from California left early & those of us from Idaho, Oregon and Washington are soon to go as well. We had a wonderful weekend of shopping, sightseeing (loved the lighthouse!), poker playing, eating & laughing. But mostly enjoying each others company. The house was perfect for our weekend. With 9 women, we loved the 3 full bathrooms! Thank you for opening up & sharing your wonderful beach home.

[entered from printed guestbook] We've had lots of fun in the house. We visited the aquarium, marine center, tide pools, both lighthouses and the bayfront. All were great. Also, we went to the beach several times. The kids watched every kids movie and had a good time playing downstairs.

[entered from printed guestbook] We have had a wonderful stay here at Yaquina House. Saw both lighthouses, had fun flying kites on the beach, and enjoyed the aquarium. We had a great visit with our 3 families - Aunts, Uncles, kids, Grandpa, & Grandma Ellen. We're all sorry our time here is coming to an end. We hope others enjoy their stay at the Yaquina House as much as we did. Enjoy! 6 yr old Hannah- "We saw big ships in the ocean. We flew kites on the beach. We saw the lighthouse.” Enjoy!

[entered from printed guestbook] Mom & Dad from Boise, Greg & Renae from Denver, Kim & Jeff from Coeur d'Alene. Plus Grandkids Natalie & Madeline; Sam & Emily. The beach, changing of the tides, tide pools and rock climbing have been great. Perfect weather too. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is absolutely marvelous. The adults enjoyed the sauna, downstairs. Thank you for sharing your home. A great experience.

[entered from printed guestbook] The Davidson family Spring Break trip has once again come to an end. We enjoyed revisiting sites from last year as well as going to Yaquina Head tidal pools. We had a lot of rain, so we weren't able to enjoy the beach as much. Instead we enjoyed each others' company playing a lot of games (mainly Texas hold em). Moe won once again. Well, it's almost 11:00, so hopefully we'll see everything again next year.

[entered from printed guestbook] Monday 4:00AM The trip come to a bitter end. We will now embark on a dark and evil journey back into the depths of sinister reality. So many good times to be had. Weeks of anticipation, and now it is all over. The original mission: Seafood & Wine Festival We all traveled from far away places, no knowledge of who our compadres would be. Each as an individual had any idea what he/she would be up against. But not what we would be subjected to in our mission. Most of the group spent 4 hours in line Saturday to get into the festival. The others opted to sleep in, had an excellent breakfast, shop downtown and plan the outstanding meal that would follow. We all found many great things to do on this journey and unfortunately it has to end. P.S. Fabulous pad, man! Saw the 'coon fam. Had a bonfire. Weather was primo - 65° in Feb! Lots of relaxing, partying, eating good grub. Thanks!

[entered from printed guestbook] Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay on the beach this Christmas! Mother Kathryn Stewart says, "I would never tire of the view. We arrived on a sunny wonderful day and explored the coastline at low tide. Christmas day, we satched the stormy sea - Awesome! Had our kids and their mates with us for the first Christmas together. Each family left with a gorgeous hand blown float ornament - building memories!!"
