Can't beat the view and the sound of the crashing waves

We spent 5 nights and was the perfect getaway with our boys (ages 13-18). Never experienced a view like there is from the master bedroom. Started each day with a beach walk and then ventured either up into Oregon or down into the Redwoods. We read the reviews about the stairs and it's just because it's a split level. Our boys had places to escape which meant mom and dad could take in the views from the sun room. Also met the owners on the way out and heard how they'll continue to be making further improvements as they are newer owners and taking great pride in the place.

Not suitable for seniors or disabled

The location, ocean view, beach access, fenced lawn with proximity to grocery shopping and restaurants is ideal. However the floor plan of the dwelling is precarious with multiple staircases, elevations: remodeled several times and is conjoined with two smaller rental units. There is an ocean facing upper deck off a lovely primary bedroom however it requires a steep clime to the room with a second clime though a window? This room was left unused. In the dark, my traveling companion tripped and fell and our old 50 lb dog needed to be lifted in order to move between spaces.

Whale Watcher

The property was all we expected: on the beach, clean, well furnished, great views. It does have a lot of stairs, and some curtains in the master bedroom would be nice.

Great location!

Great cottage on the beach. There are quite a few stairs inside the property, it has 4 levels, but that didn't deter us much. The only reason we didnt give them 5 starts is due to trash. There are 4 other rental rooms on the same property and they all share 1 trash can. With 4 people staying, we had quite a bit of trash and to our surprise, the single trash can for the whole property was full. The property manager quickly responded to our text, but storing trash inside the house we are staying in was less than ideal. Overall a great place to come back to after a day of exploring the sites!!
