Great place for a night on the Oregon coast!

Sweet little unit that was clean, well-stocked and easy to get in and out of from 101. There was also a great coffee shop just up the road and most of the amenities one would need while cruising the coast!

Great place to stay in a great area

My only problem with this property was that there was no closet. There are hooks by the front door so presumably a few hangers there would have helped. I didn't realize there was no closet when I rented this room.

The owner is great!

The property was absolutely beautiful. Very clean and in a perfect location. My only complaint was the bed and the heater. The bed was very uncomfortable and the heater never heated up. I decided to leave 1 day early. HOWEVER, I decided not to bug the owner with the bed and heater and I should have contacted her. When I decided to leave a day early I let her know and she said she would have moved me and/or come and replaced the heater. She made a note about the bed and said she was already replacing them room by room. She refunded me for my last night and offered to move me to a different property. It’s on me that I didn’t contact her sooner. She would have helped accommodate me to be more comfortable. I will be returning next time I am in that area.

Super Cute!

We stayed here on a whim because we decided at the last minute to go to the coast. I wasn’t sure what to expect and really hoped the place matched the pics. It absolutely did, to a tee! Despite being along the highway, it was pretty quiet and for a pet friendly room, it was very clean which means everything to us because we want to feel as comfortable in a rental with out pups as we do in our home and this place nailed it on that! We’d definitely stay here again!

Nice and clean!

Super clean and nice aesthetic - pics were accurate/just as in listing. End unit furthest from road. Seems fresh, like a recent remodel. Stress Relief Bath&Body Works soap and lotion were nice after a long day. Gas station store next door was convenient to grab ice or snack. 4 stars because the mattress seemed to still be in plastic and was not super comfortable.
