The house was great on many levels. We were a family of multigenerations, grandparents, parents and grandchildren two of whom were graduating from college, OSU and OU. Everyone loved the house. Waldport was great, beautiful beach, relatively few tourists so it was sedate. The beach and dunes were beautiful. A short drive north or south on 101 runs along spectacular rugged coastline. The house is behind a low dune with a simple walk over the sand directly to a large beautiful beach.
The house was spacious with a large kitchen and two large living spaces so people could find a quiet place if they wanted. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Windows everywhere so it was very light inside. The kitchen was well stocked with excellent pots and pans, lots of silverware and plates and glasses, all kinds of kitchen tools, corkscrew and wine glasses, nice refrigerator, dishwasher, Mr. Coffee with lots of filters, condiments, cutting surfaces, great knives, everything you would need to cook some great meals. It was obvious that the owner wanted us to have a good time and made everything available we needed. We bought fresh crab in Newport and a great butcher at Oregon Costal Cutters in South Beach just south of Newport for great steaks. There was a farmer’s market in Waldport on Sunday and others all over the place on different days. There was also a supermarket in Waldport as well. Overall, it was great in so many domains. Thank you to the hosts for their thoughtfulness
