Great stay! Very easy access to the beach with the dogs. Very low population on the beach, so the dogs had a good time. Lipstick on a pig, but it didn't matter to us, still a very nice layout and TV. Loved the stay, no major issues. Would go again

Our family had a wonderful week at Whimsical Dunes in Waldport. House was a perfect layout for our family of four and our small dog. Great location close to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, horseback riding near Florence, Cape Perpetua hikes, and local restaurants in Waldport and Yachats. The hot tub was great on cool mornings, and the walk to the beach is just steps from the door!! The EV charger was a fantastic resource for exploring the coast. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking in and cozy nights playing games. Highly recommend.

Couldn’t have been happier with our stay.My partner and I stayed over 2 nights to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful time. The private beach access and hot tub were highlights for us. The property felt like a home away from home.

The cleaning crew was just okay. They didn’t know how to clean stainless steel. The handle on the main toilet was falling off. Luckily I’m a fixer and screwed the nut back on inside the tank. But that was sort of shocking. Hot tub wasn’t working but I didn’t really care. The pots and pans were bad/lacking. One small frying pan. The medium frying pan was covered with welded on food. (No scrub pads provided) and no other frying pans. Previous occupants had used the bread knife to cut a sweet roll and then put it dirty into the wooden knife block. Yuck! Found lots of dishes/glasses/mugs that had to be washed before using. Good things: mattress in main bedroom was very good! Lots of towels. Just a short walk to the beach. Hot and cold water shower on the deck.

With beach access being within steps from this amazing home, beachcombing has never been easier. And what better to come home to after a long day of exploring than a semi private ocean view hot tub.
