This darling beach cottage provided our family of eight with a delightful opportunity to enjoy the Oregon coast for a five night stay. We loved being so close to the beach that we could come and go as often as we wanted, and the proximity to so many interesting things to visit made this a perfect location.

Our party had three married couples, a single, and a toddler. We each had our own bedroom, but be aware that two of the bedrooms have a curtain instead of a door and there is a very steep stairwell to the two upstairs bedrooms.

Our big group was a bit kitchen challenged. We brought all our own food and there was no space in the cupboards to store it, so we wound up keeping much of it on the floor of the entry hall. The dining table expanded so we could all sit down together to eat, but once expanded, the space was not overly generous so we wound up pushing the table up against the was when we were not using it. The kitchen well stocked with dishes, glasses, pots, pans, and even plastic plates and bowls for little ones. The dishes, decorations, and furnishings in the cottage coordinate beautifully which makes for a very pleasant atmosphere.

The living area has two adjoining sitting areas with plenty of couches and chairs for a large group. The flat screen TV worked great and the internet had plenty of speed for all our devices. We enjoyed beautiful views of the waves through large picture windows. The house is not right on the beach, but is one row back. The living area also had doors we could close to keep our toddler contained in the kitchen/living room, so that was very helpful.

The hot tub was a great way to start and end the day, and the BBQ and deck made for some very pleasant meals outside.

The beach was fantastic. Lots of room to walk and play, fly kites, and dig in the sand. Older people or anyone who's mobility is impaired could have difficulty getting down to the beach, however. With two access points near the house, one was a steep climb and the other extremely rocky and uneven.

The property managers are helpful and available, but we found it very strange that all information is communicated by phone. A binder with information on towel service, garbage/recycling, the phone number, and other practical information all gathered into one place would be very helpful.

Thanks for a very nice beach stay.
