About this property
Oceanfront- Sea Gem Cottage
Perched atop a dramatic oceanfront bluff just six miles south of Newport, Sea Gem Cottage is a private coastal retreat where the rhythm of the Pacific sets the pace for your stay. Nearly every room offers sweeping views of the beach and surf, immersing you in the sights and sounds of the ocean from sunrise to sunset. Thoughtfully expanded and beautifully updated, this classic beachfront cottage blends modern comfort with the timeless charm that brings guests back year after year.
The home features two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a loft. Bamboo flooring flows throughout the living spaces, complemented by travertine tile in the bathroom, and clean, modern furnishings throughout that keep the focus on the stunning coastal surroundings.
Both bedrooms are appointed with queen beds and include built-in storage drawers and wardrobes, making the cottage especially comfortable for extended visits. The main-level great room offers seating for six at the dining table and a wall-mounted Smart TV with basic cable, all framed by ever-changing ocean views just beyond the windows.
Stairs from the great room lead to the loft, where two twin beds are tucked on the garden side. A cozy lounge area overlooks the ocean, providing an ideal spot to relax, read, or watch passing storms—and, if you’re lucky, spot whales offshore.
The cottage sits on a 40-foot bluff with a private path leading directly to the beach. Miles of shoreline stretch in both directions, perfect for long, unhurried walks where you’ll often encounter more seabirds than people. Whether you’re planning a romantic oceanfront getaway, a quiet family retreat, or a classic Oregon Coast vacation, Sea Gem Cottage offers privacy, comfort, and unforgettable views in a truly special setting.

Beautiful space. We mostly ate out, but gorgeous cookware was available, and there was a nice spice rack. The drawers were stocked with tools and there were nice dishes. Beds were comfy and the view was to die for. The photos are true to the experience.
Great beach cottage for my husband’s 60th birthday! It had stunning views right on the beach from every window. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds were the most comfortable beds!!!! Check-in and out was a breeze. We will definitely be back!
From the moment we arrived, the views completely stole the show. Being right on the ocean made it easy to relax, unwind, and truly enjoy the beauty of the Oregon coast. This was our first trip to the Oregon coast and it is spectacular!The cottage itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. We especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living space for enjoying the ocean views indoors when the weather turned, which of course it did. The location was quiet and a short drive to so many nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops in the surrounding area. It was the perfect balance of privacy and convenience.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Ocean Front-Sea Gem Cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing coastal retreat.
Somehow, even better than we expected. The cottage was absolutely charming, clean, and well equipped. The views were priceless. The perfect place to unwind for a quiet weekend. The only thing I would note is that the steps down to the ocean were quite difficult for my 65-year-old mother-in-law with arthritis. Some of the steps are pretty big, and slippery when wet. If you have someone in your group whose mobility is not the best, and you want direct access to the beach, this may not be the spot for you. That said, we drove and accessed the beach from the state park down the road after one difficult climb down and up. This would not prevent us from coming back, however. We will be back!
I was blown away by the perfectly appointed home and kitchen. Not only did it have everything I needed, but a few extras you don’t normally expect in a vacation rental. It felt like a special treat to stay here. I’ll definitely be back!
Fantastic experience at this home. The view is breathtaking. The home is sparkling clean and thoughtfully decorated. Everything you need is there for your home away from home. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. We can't wait to come back.
This place was truly amazing! Pros: amazing ocean views, very clean and well stocked, bonus bedroom in the loftCons: right next to HWY 101, you have to back out on the HWY as there is no turn around spot.
This cottage is perfect!!! The only thing wrong is that we did not stay longer. It is a perfect size for a family of 4, with views of the ocean from every window. We loved our time here.
This little cottage was perfect for a cozy, relaxing getaway for my husband and I. The views are amazing, with easy access to the beach. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The driveway access directly off the highway with no ability to turn around in the driveway is the only drawback but it’s workable and worth it. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
Sea Gem Cottage was everything we wanted! Excellent views, cute, clean home, just the right amount of space for our family. Wish I had a place like this of my own!
This was the third year in a row where we stayed at Sea Gem. As always it never disappoints. Great accommodation and excellent hosts. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
We were here years ago and were so excited to see that Sea Gem had added the second bedroom and loft, so we were able to take our whole family. The place is small but well thought out and very cozy. The location is quiet, and the ocean right out the back window is beautiful. Our kids wanted to move in! Thanks for a wonderful stay.
This little cottage is truly the gem of the Newport coast. We have stayed multiple times and every time it is bliss. The house is perfectly equipped with everything you could need for a comfy stay. It is so clean and fresh when you walk in and super easy to keep that way during your stay. The owners are super responsive and very kind. We absolutely love the Sea Gem and can't wait to get back.
I loved staying in this peaceful location on the ocean. It was clean and comfortable with great views. I would stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Josh Pope
We have enjoyed spending time on the Oregon Coast for years and fell in love with the Sea Gem Cottage the moment we first met/stayed! When we aren't spending time at the Sea Gem ourselves, we enjoy allowing others to experience the beauty and calmness of oceanfront living.
Why they chose this property
The Newport area is the most beautiful and scenic part of the Oregon Coast in our opinion. There is abundant wildlife as well as the conveniences of a nearby city. Whales and seals have been viewed from the cottage. Seagulls and pelicans fly by the windows and float in the wind. The privacy granted by having a house on the ocean cannot be matched by a hotel or condo.
What makes this property unique
The cottage was built in the 1960's, but has been completely remodeled with tasteful, modern decor, yet keeping some of the original charm. It was then added on to in 2016 to include a loft and second bedroom. It is challenging to find modern properties with beach access on the Oregon Coast, and this cottage will not disappoint.
