This place has incredible views! Everywhere you look, there are amazing views. It is awkwardly designed. The kitchen is tiny. The bedroom is on the ground floor with the bathroom and the kitchen. The family room upstairs is cozy and has a comfortable bed, board games, and recliners facing the whales. The place was a bit dirty when we got there, and there were stains on the carpeting. It wasn't a huge deal, but it was noteworthy. It was also pretty expensive for the quality of the accommodations. For example, there was no blow dryer, and the kitchen was below par. The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors friendly. It is a short drive to groceries, restaurants, and tourist attractions. We would definitely stay here again for the views alone.

The views were absolutely incredible, we could have just sat in front of the window all day. The house was great too, kitchen was a little small for folks that like to cook and the fridge is incredibly small … not ideal for longer stays unless you plan on eating out most days (unfortunate because the views are so amazing ) :) we will definitely be back!!

We can't say enough about the amazing view from every window in this property. Loved sitting on the deck and just looking out on the water. The loft area has plenty of games, dvds, etc. Comfortable beds and plenty of room.

Wonderful retreat with incredible view

Cozy, comfortable, clean unit and right in line with description. Incredible weather, wave, bird, and WHALE watching throughout our 3-day stay. Will definitely plan to return and would recommend to anyone. Was especially great to have our sweet little old lady dog along. Would not recommend for larger active canines.

Using the lock box was tricky. The house was adequate but you can not tell by the photos how awkwardly it is set up, House allows dogs which is one reason we chose it, but there are many stains on the carpets. Absolutely stunning views!

Stunning views

We stayed 4-nights for our 11 year anniversary to enjoy the sights from Lincoln City to Newport. This location was perfect with spectacular views. The home could use a little TLC, however the beds were comfortable and the views were breathtaking. We highly recommend bringing binoculars to fully enjoy the whale watching and fishing/whale watching boats. We even met the owners and they were very friendly. We’re so glad they offer their space for others to enjoy.
