About this property

Incredible White Water view! Gorgeous sunsets! Jacuzzi on deck/2 Flat screen TVs

Since our remodel 1.5 years ago we have a 4.8 Average review rating as of 11/20/21.
Both the Master and Loft have queen beds. Warning: The loft has a steep staircase and a low ceiling. It also has a low bannister overlooking the living room so not advisable for young children. There is an easy path down to the beach which is frequently strewn with driftwood. We notice some very careful people enjoy bonfires! Wake up to waves crashing beneath you. Brew a strong cup and start your morning back in the Jacuzzi or looking out from the cozy sunroom as the sun begins to illuminate the breaking waves underneath you! Stroll the beach with your doggy, explore the tide pools or fly a kite. Got a surf board? Join a few locals just 600 ft up the beach to a hollow wave break. Keep walking the long beach across the OR border to the ever-changing Winchuck river mouth. Look for the seal pups. Your cabin is fully equipped for me the owner and I enjoy cooking and all the amenities of this sweet cabin whenever possible! It is small but amazingly efficient and comfortable to maximize your connection to the surrounding environment
Remember to turn off the living room flat screen TV, at least for the magnificent sunsets. You won't regret it. Also you probably want to book enough days for exploring time nearby Brookings, the flowing rivers & of course the famous Redwoods.

Amazing location!

Second time staying at this property. We just had to come back. House is right on the beach and the views are amazing. There are redwood forest trails close by too and a good amount of restaurants in neighboring Brookings. Can only recommend.

Location and view are amazing!

We absolutely loved the view from our cabin, location was amazing and the place was very easy to find. Having the hot tub was great for a soak before bed. Check in and check out was a breeze. Even though we never leave a mess behind it was nice to feel like we didn’t have a ‘chore list’ to complete before departure. The place really needs a refresh to feel up to date, cleaner and more comfortable. It was just my wife and I but we felt like it was a random display of things left over from a yard sale - for the price - you are paying for the view.

Location!

This is about location! If you are into rockhounding and having direct beach location - stay here! The loft area is low and an adult cannot stand up straight in that area. Shower is small also. I think of this place as more of a "lake house" vibe to it and not fancy/over the top. It was perfect for our group!

Relaxing Get Away

We enjoyed our stay at the Ocean's Edge cabin. The view from our deck couldn't be beat! We sat on the deck in the morning and watched the ocean. In the evening we had a front row view of the sunset. We hiked several trails in the redwoods and spent time on the beach in Brookings. The cabin was a great "home base" for all our adventures.

Stunning location and easy beach access

Although the cabin is snug, the kitchen has plenty of room and is well equipped. The host thoughtfully provides coffee, plastic wrap and other items. The expansive view overlooks the ocean and beach—-from the living room, the deck and the hot tub. A great stay for us!

Spectacular & Serene Seaside Sanctuary!

We never wanted to leave & can't wait to go back! What a treat of a retreat! An oceanfront that we could bring our kids & fur babies & walk down to the mile long sandy beaches multiple times a day & then relax in the hot tub on the deck & watch the sunset, was a priceless experience! We never ate out! Why would we when you have an ocean view to enjoy from the kitchen, living room, sun room & deck? We left a couple of times for a redwood hike & fishing trip & then came back to our million dollar view and made fresh fish tacos with the ocean's breeze! This was by far, one of the best vacations/getaways that our family has ever had! We can't wait to stay again!

Great stay

It was a great stay. But there was some confusion at check in. We received a message to check in with the main office and get a parking pass, when we arrived we spent 20 minutes trying to find the main office and when came a cross a lady who informed us there isn’t a main office and there hasn’t been parking passes in over 3 years. Everything else was great though. Wonderful view!

Nice Stay

We traveled 6 hours for our stay. We stopped to do our grocery shopping prior to arriving for check-in. When we arrived to our surprise there was no lock key located where it was supposed to be at. We tried the slider door and it was unlocked. When we entered the cabin was completely NOT ready for us. Not clean. Dirty towels. Dirty kitchen. Dirty Bedding. Mind you we traveled 6 hours, had cold food and 2 young children who had been in the car

This is my 3rd (or 4th) time staying here. I have had to contact Host several times and he's always responded quickly when needed subsequently handling issues promptly. The view is wonderful on a clear day and the beach access is easy and close.

Beautiful views!

Our vacation had a big health interruption. We were late arriving and were able to still enjoy the vacation and rest with the beautiful ocean view and sounds. Our host was great. He communicated very well. My only suggestion is to add a curtain to the living room to block the sun and heat in the afternoon. Everything was very nice.

Very comfortable, amenities were great and the cottage was adjacent to downtown Brookings. Walks along the back and views were spectacular. As a dog friendly stay, this was also a bonus for the entire family to enjoy a nice getaway along the coast.

Minor problems, mostly with security, otherwise fine.

The exterior light was burned out, we took care of that. Front lock box was open when we arrived, dead bolt does not work and keys need to be cleaned up along with handle lock. Toilet seat needs to be replaced, pretty gross. Minor things but minor things can make a big difference.

Horrible experience

Vacationers beware. I will start off by saying I made a booking mistake. My husband and I are both in public education and I intended to surprise our family with a trip to the coast over spring break... but I inadvertently booked the trip one week too early (when we are still in school and have parent-teacher conferences). I began trying to remedy the mistake within minutes of making the reservation. This owner is IMPOSSIBLE to work with. He refused to respond to my messages on VRBO, my phone calls, or my text messages. After countless calls/texts and one plea from my husband, he finally responded to my husband's text (not to me, the person who made the reservation). We spent the better part of a week trying to communicate with the owner. He would NEVER answer any of MY calls or messages, and only occasionally responded to my husband. He tried to put the problem off on VRBO, saying that I needed to contact them to solve the problem (VRBO clearly stated that the issue was out of their hands) ... he even lied about my efforts to resolve the issue within the "make modifications to reservation" timeframe. I am fully aware that this all started with a mistake I made. But please beware before booking. If you have an issue, this owner is IMPOSSIBLE to communicate with, concerned with HIS profits only, and has literally ZERO empathy or concern for anyone other than himself. Our family is out a considerable amount of money, and he is that much richer, for doing absolutely nothing.

About the host

Hosted by Gary

Host profile image
I bought this location because I loved staying in this exact same unit. Great stuff, leather couch, down comforter, flat screen TV. WIFI. Sometimes you'll close glass doors because the waves are too loud!
I live in Ashland, a gorgeous drive inland following the amazing Smith River, past the Redwoods and Cave Junction. Grew up surfing in CA and now got the best of both! Surfing, and no crowds!

Why they chose this property

It doesn't get better than this!. Few neighbors. Beach is underutilized. There have been times when the surf got so big and tide so high almost felt like we had to evacuate. If you get sea sick but love being on the water this is your place! If you like comforts of home including flat screens, Jacuzzi, internet leather sofa, but also love a bonfire, look no further. Get discounts for longer stays!

What makes this property unique

Views, views, views!!! Jacuzzi deck. Well appointed furnishings and kitchen. Private loft area. Safe off the hwy, private areas, don't have to worry about kids running into street. Send them down the private path to the beach and watch them from the deck! Good dogs probably ok but extra cleaning cost. Worth it to have a real clean stay.
