Best tiny house

We loved everything! Every detail was thought out in advance. Communication was simple even without direct contact which helped us feel taken care of. Also the room is very adorable!

Birthday weekend

The room was very cute. Pullout sofa was comfortable once we turned around (head at foot of bed). The traffic was somewhat loud but we didn't mind for location and price. Keep food sealed up... sugar ants. Overall we were happy with our stay and will be back!

Quick in & out

Property located within convenient proximity of all Depoe Bay attractions and a short drive to Newport. Unit was clean and functional. Highway right outside was a bit loud. We appreciated the dog-friendliness, but there was not much area to walk around with them.

Nice place

Great location, perfect size, clean. Only disappointing aspect was unit 1, while has great light due to 2 extra windows the other units don't have and the view of the ocean. Since it is right next to the road, can be a tad loud with vehicle traffic. And adjusting the shower can be challenging.

Nice clean property, noisy not super comfortable

It’s not a bad spot for a weekend getaway. It’s clean and the property has everything you would need. It is very noisy. We stayed in unit 1 which is right by the highway, so traffic is constant. If we were to stay here again we would book one of the units further from the road. The beds were uncomfortable, and there’s not a lot of room or space for hanging out in.

Loved it

It was a very nice place to stay. We only heard the cars going by because we were in the one by the road ( unit 1) but it wasnt even loud. Never heard anything from the other renters. It was quiet. We loved the keyless entry. Our daughter said the hide a bed needed replaced since it was sinking in the middle. But overall stay was great and we would stay here again.

Week long stay

Tv did not work well in the main living area. Communication with Vacasa was a bit delayed. Someone did eventually call me, but their solution to restart the computer need to be repeated multiple times. it is right by the freeway, so annoys maker in the bedroom is helpful to drown out traffic noise.

Couldn't sleep.

This place was super cute and clean with a perfect living space for a small family to share. Unknowingly rented the unit on the street so traffic noise was a constant presence and both beds are BEYOND noisy. The pull out bed just sounds like metal on metal rubbing and squeekung with every movement and the head board on the big bed also makes noise against the wall. Needless to say, we didn't rest well.

Great location

We enjoyed our brief stay. Was in walking distance of quite a few businesses and had easy access to the highway. The place was cute with everything you could possibly need. We will definitely consider this location in the future and can hopefully make our stay longer.

August at Depoe Bay

The accommodations were adequate. The traffic at 5 AM on Highway 101 was incredibly loud. The glass shelf under the mirror in the bathroom was unstable and we removed it so it would not break and stuck it in the corner. The kitchen sink faucet should be replaced.

Great little costal cabin

This was a great little costal cabin, with everything we needed for the weekend. It was also very clean, which I especially appreciated. Check-in process was easy and while we didn’t encounter any issues during our stay, we know who to contact of a problem dis occur. I thought the bed was comfy and the traffic noise dis not bother us or our dog, but the road in front of this unit is busy. We will be staying at this property again and recommend it to others.

Everything but the location on the road was great

Perfect little cabin all upgrades except the bed was so uncomfortable and the location on the road was so noisey was impossible to sleep, left early to go home and take a nap. Owners have done all they could to upgrade except the mattress on the bed as cannot change the location

Very clean it was a little cold and windy outside when we got there. but the heat was on and there was ice in the freezer . The bed was very comfortable.
