Every great adventure begins with the proper base of operations. The condo in Netarts met all our needs and many of the state's best attractions were only a short drive away. The furnishings were modest, but comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the condo was very clean. Communication with the owner was easy and I was assured he'd be available if we should need anything, which we didn't.My favorite feature was the very large window overlooking the bay, complete with a cushioned window seat. From that comfy perch I watched harbor seals sunbathing on a nearby sandbar, pelicans diving for fish, and even an eagle or two. You can also see Three Arch Rocks and the Oregon sunsets are breathtaking. I spent hours sitting there enjoying the breeze and taking in the sights.The condo owner also had the genius idea to put the master bedroom bed on risers so that when you're lying in bed you can see the water. I still dream about that view. During our stay we ventured to Cannon Beach, Oceanside Beach, Cape Meares, Cape Lookout and Cape Kiwanda. All just a short drive away. We enjoyed many delicious meals at the nearby Schooner Restaurant and discovered other local restaurants and breweries. Each day we'd walk the beach and every day the tides made it new and different.I had often wondered if I could be happy living in a small town. I discovered the answer is 'yes'. Especially Netarts, and that delightful condo with that amazing, magical window on the world.
