Cozy Cottage • Fire Pit • Walk to Bay

Our cozy studio cottage is located on wetland habitat at the end of a residential dead end street. It's the best of the coast, close to the beach and shops, but like being in a cabin in the woods. Only a 3 minute walk to the bay! A wonderful spot to unwind and relax. At approximately 320 square feet this little cottage is perfect for couples to get away. Our Nectar queen memory foam mattress is soft and inviting after a day of adventures. You can play board games in front of the fireplace on a rainy day. Watch Netflix from the loveseat or bed, the smart TV is on a swivel mount that can be adjusted to any position you need. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you need to make a delicious meal or cook some clams from the bay. We have all the kitchen essentials for cooking, but please note we do not have an oven. There is a microwave, glass cook-top stove, toaster, coffee maker and mini fridge with freezer. The kitchen also has a small bar table for two to enjoy your meals, or you can eat al fresco on the back patio bistro table. We have a clam gun, rakes, shovel and crab ring for guests to use located in the shed. We also provide skewer sticks to roast marshmallows over the fire-pit!

The cottage is on a dead end street with a mix of full time residents. Our secluded backyard is very rustic with local fauna, wildlife and critters of all kinds. If you aren't a fan of nature and don't like finding bugs outside we might not be the best space for you. If you're curious about any of the indigenous fauna, feel free to ask! Some plants are fruit producing and local to the region and were even used with indigenous tribes that used to live along the coast. They attract deer in the spring who love to come and munch on them and leave their babies in the tall grass while they feed. During the day you might also spot some raccoons snoozing in the spruce trees. We are also close to great blue heron breeding territory and at times you will hear them squawking and see them fly over. Bald eagles also frequent the area and you can get great shots of them hunting in the bay.

You will have access the whole property including the shed, the only space off limits is the loft. Per the city we are not allowed to let guests use the loft because they do not allow the use of ladders in vacation rentals. Do not try and take the ladder down as it could cause damage to the rafters and wall, any damage that occurs from not following this rule will result in you paying for damages.

Like all the coastal homes here on the Oregon coast we are no exception to excessive moisture and even more so since we sit right on wetland habitat and are in a flood zone. We do our best to battle moisture and the musty stale smells that come with it. We have a powerful little dehumidifier in the bathroom that collects extra moisture in the air. We also ask that our guests please leave the heat on when they check out. This helps so much with drying out the space. We also have a couple of natural reed diffusers with a light scent.

During the off season(November through February) we have more flexibility around check in and check out times. If you would like to check in early or check out later, please let us know, and we will try and accommodate you!

Bookers must be 21 years of age to book with us per our liability insurance.

CANCELLATION POLICY: We understand things happen that may be out of your control. As travelers ourselves we always purchase trip insurance. We highly recommend that our guests do as well. We have a Firm cancellation policy; if you cannot make it to your reservation you have up until 30 days before your arrival to cancel the reservation for a full refund. We ask for your consideration and canceling as soon as you know you will not be able to make it. We cannot guarantee a full refund for cancellations that happen less than 30 days before arrival as we are not always able to re-book the dates and in most instances have already paid our cleaning staff.

Please note that children DO count towards our max occupancy. We can only accommodate up to two guests max. If you have an infant under two years of age they do not count towards occupancy and are allowed. Lincoln City has strict max occupancy regulations and if we are found to have violated them we will be fined and at risk of losing our operational license.

If you would like to book our space as a gift to someone, we highly encourage you to purchase a gift card and have the person staying book with us. We send important check in information through the app, and if you are booking for someone else this can cause some hiccups with the check in process if that information is not sent to the person staying.

We do allow extended monthly stays during our off season. We will only approve request where a guest has a minimum of five 5 star reviews.

This is our little piece of paradise that we like to visit. At this time we are not allowing pets, but we do bring our own here when we visit. We visit a few times a year with our dogs.

We do not have laundry facilities, but there are public laundromats in town.

The space is very cozy, we do not have any storage space, like closets. We do have a small dresser and a bench to put luggage on.

We do have a couple of essential oil reed diffusers that have a light scent.

The area has a feeling of being secluded, but with the convenience of being within walking distance to the bay and restaurants. We are in a dead zone for cell service. You can connect to the WiFi though once you arrive.

We provide coffee, tea, sugar and creamer.

We are located amongst the wild habitat, so on occasion you may find a spider or rolly polly in the house. We do have someone come out quarterly to spray and try and mitigate their intrusion into the cottage. Salty air and coastal storms are very hard on our homes here at the coast. We do our best to keep up with maintenance. If you notice anything that needs attention, please let us know!

If you are using any of the clamming or crabbing gear we ask that you rinse everything with the outside hose before putting it away. Please note if you do decide to use the clamming gun or crab ring, you do so at your own risk. Any injuries incurred using these items off site will be your responsibility.

This is a small house and with it comes small pipes. Please do not put any food, grease, eggshells or anything that is not soap and water down the kitchen sink. All waste from food items need to be put in the trash bin. When using the toilet do not put anything other than toilet paper and human waste down the toilet, including items that are labeled flushable.

We have lots of kitties, kids and wildlife on our dead end little road. Please be respectful and do not go over 5MPH when driving to and from the cottage.

We are in a Tsunami hazard zone. Please study the included evacuation map in the welcome booklet. A test alarm is done every Wednesday between 11am-12pm. This will only sound for a few seconds. In a real emergency the alarm will sound for several minutes.

Being in a Tsunami hazard zone means we do have a higher potential for flooding. During the winter our property does flood during a combination of King Tides and excessive rain during high tide.
