The views were fantastic. We really enjoyed being right on the beach. I was able to do a lot of cooking of fresh fish/seafood as the kitchen was very well equipped. The neighbors at Rainbow rock and the people in town were all really friendly.

The view is awesome and the place is nice and the property is very well maintained. You are close to town, which is nice. You have the access to the OCT right on property as well as the access to the ocean. This was a nice quiet retreat. They do need to update a few things.

We really enjoyed staying at this condo. It was very clean and well stocked. The beach was easily accessible and used only by condo occupants. The view is spectacular. Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming. Beds were very comfortable. The condo is dated and there wasn't a telescope or binoculars as shown in the pictures. We were looking forward to trying those out but it wasn't a big deal. You are in the first building by the highway so there is some road noise at times. We would go back.

This 3rd story condo was a perfect place for our vacay. The cliffside location was easy to find and access. Spectacular views. My friends and family all raved about my photos taken from the condo balcony and from around the property. The condo property was quiet, beautifully landscaped, and the interiors provided for all our needs both practical and comfort. Brookings us a wonderful place on the Oregon coast. I would have loved a month long stay!

Supplies could be stocked better. We only had 1 dishwasher tab and the only garbage bag we had was in the can. We had to go out specifically to buy those supplies. Beautiful location and view. We have rented this condo prior and had the same issue of limited supplies. I guess I need to plan to travel with garbage bags and laundry and dish tabs in the future which isn't super easy to do when flying from out of state and not checking bags. This has happened to us at other VRBO's but typically only in Mexico. The view from the condo is unbeatable but it is a bit outdated. We would stay again in the future.

Gorgeous views day and night. Worth the stay! Had all we needed for two friends. Used the trail to the beach daily a low tide. Nice to experience that beach. Friendly neighbors helped with local suggestions. Quite, but you can hear a tad bit of traffic in the mornings. Would happily stay here again!

The place is amazing and so cozy. It was super clean as well. My only issue is that we had trouble getting inside at check in because the key code was changed and we weren’t notified. We had two sick babies with us so it was very stressful. But thankfully the property management company was able to figure out the problem after calling maintenance.

About the host

Hosted by Holly Hatch

Host profile image
Hello! We are Lonnie and Lori. We love the ocean and have always dreamed about having a place to get-away and relax. We are really excited to share our home with you and hope that your stay will be very memorable.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

The view is our favorite part of our home. We can sit for hours and watch the water and there is always something changing. Of course we are always on the look out for whales, but watching the surfers at the end of the beach and even the fisherman has become quite entertaining. At night we crack open the sliding door and listen to the soothing sound of the ocean. During crabbing season there are a lot of boats out at night that have big lights and you can see the crew working. Vacations are meant to be relaxing and replenishing so we tried to capture the sprit of that in our home and it feels great to us. We furnished it with comfortable but modern furnishings, left clutter to a minimum, and let the view take center stage. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.
