Where the Rocky Shore Meets the Sand - Start of 804 Trial ! Ask for free night!

Cute, clean and cozy. Just as described. Stormy weather prevented us from exploring too much but central location for when we hopefully return.

The beds were perfect, the view amazing, and every amenity was provided (spices, condiments, extra blankets, dog towels, good instructions, coffee filters, flashlights, maps, etc etc etc). The walk along the coast to town is a little over a mile and gorgeous -- saw whales, sea lions, tons of birds, tide pools and crashing waves. The cell service, thank god, was sketchy, but the internet was super reliable and fast. Bring boots in cooler temps for beach walking because you need to cross a few shallow streams to get any distance. We surf fished for perch and actually caught enough for a nice dinner. Yachats is a gem, and this place is perfectly situated far enough from town and the highway to make for a peaceful vacation with no crowds or traffic.

We LOVED hiking the 804 Trail to the end, both north and south--watching birds, collecting special stones, as well as many other adventures on the craggy coast and forest trails. It's easy as well to walk to the Yachats Brewery and Bread and Roses Bakery, the grocery and the library. After each day's explorations, we happily returned to "The Swallows" for cheer and reflection. A very cozy space, with every provision one could want--cheerful and charming touches and a cottage that hugs you and welcomes you home.

My husband and I enjoyed a quick two night getaway at The Swallows. It is a lovely, comfortable home, but once again, I was fooled by the photos and description into believing the home was closer to the ocean than it actually is. The view was partial, from one seat in the dining room and from one spot in the living room. Not exactly "ocean view from the living room and dining room" which leads one to believe the house is pretty much on the ocean. No, the house is three houses back from the beach, although it was a short walk down to the 804 trail to the south, and a sandy beach to the north. Other than that disappointment, the home is very comfortable, and would be ideal for a family with children who don't mind sharing a queen bed, or two couples. The separate den is ideal for separating folks who want to watch TV from folks who want to relax and visit in the living area. One of the queen beds was memory foam and very comfy, we chose that bed. The second queen bed was covered in a plastic sheet (I presume for kids) but I suppose that could be removed for a second couple. It was not memory foam, felt more like a regular, older mattress and not quite as comfortable. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at The Swallows, but I will really scrutinize ads in the future to be sure they say "oceanfront" not "oceanview". This house has a VERY PARTIAL ocean view.

Everything was lovely. Clean home. Courteous response to any questions or help. We even stayed an extra day because we enjoyed it so much !!!!
