This is our family's first visit to the OR Coast and we couldn't have had a better experience with Road's End. First, it is even more spacious than the pictures show. If you're a larger party and need some room, this house will not disappoint. Each bedroom is on a different level (two are on the bottom level) so everyone had some privacy and space. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which is excellent too. Two of the bathrooms have heated floors. The beds are comfortable and there's plenty of blankets, etc.
The kitchen is an excellent space - large counter spaces, two sinks, and plenty of room to walk around when making meals together. It is stocked with essentials, but you may need to bring/buy some amenities. There's a Safeway two blocks away so we just took stock before we went shopping.
The living room is large, with a high ceiling and a fan. The tv works fine but has limited access to stream. We hooked up a laptop through the HDMI cable from the cable box and used our own subscriptions. Plenty of blankets and a gas fireplace that works well on cooler evenings.
The view of the ocean and beach are great - especially from the front balcony. We used this space the most - ate breakfast in the ocean breeze and mist, sat in the sun during the afternoon, and we used it to wind down in the evening. Great space but be aware of the visiting seagulls - you may have to hose it down once in a while.
The garage is well stocked with toys and some games, beach chairs, and a foosball table. Once reviewer expressed concern about a lack of screens on the windows and keeping windows open without them/bugs, etc. We did not experience this - all the windows had screens and we had the doors and windows open all week for the cool ocean breeze. It was beautiful.
The beach is about 300 steps from the front door. We loved the easy access to the sand and water. Walks every morning and evening. The surrounding area is walkable but more likely driving is more convenient. Safeway, Wallgreens, and a lot of other food establishments are in town too. We even took a trip to the Chinook Casino and won playing blackjack one night.
Easy access to hiking trails and other fun excursions. We are definitely looking to return again and this home will be at the top of our list!
