About this property

The Lily Pad - just a hop to everything coastal

This charming home offers a jumping off point to all the area’s attractions and a homey atmosphere to hunker down in at night. It’s just a short hop to Port Orford’s beaches, Garrison Lake, local artists' galleries and one of a kind restaurants featuring seafood, homemade pastries, breads, soups, and other goodies.

The main floor bedroom has a California king bed, large closet, and a full bathroom with step-in shower en suite. The upstairs bedroom has queen bed, a trundle day bed, a mini-fridge and microwave for those midnight snacks, and a full bath with shower/tub combo. The two living room couches are long enough for sleeping.

This 1940's home features a fully-outfitted kitchen with several coffee makers, Keurig, blender, waffle maker, mixer, pots and pans, cookie sheets, muffin tins, utensils, dishes, flatware. Front-loading LG washer and dryer on site. Bring your dog, if you wish, to hang out in a pet friendly enclosed patio or in the small dog run in the back yard.

There's WiFi, a VCR/DVD player, and a lots of games, puzzles, VCR's and DVD’s for when you just want to hang out at home for a while before heading out for your next adventure.

Your hosts, Susan and Wiz, bought the house in June 2016. Susan is a former live theatre set designer and hopes to recapture the ambiance of the 1940's while providing all the conveniences modern travelers expect from a vacation home. The house is fully functional, clean and cozy.

Top 2 rental houses

We have stayed in many places and this is one of my favorite places we've stayed! The only issues we had were small and taken care of right away by the host, who was also great to work with. Love the decor and the covered back patio which was a treat during the stormy conditions.

Amazing stay

Susan was so nice and accomodating. Upon learning I was traveling alone with no plan on what to do, she gave some great recommendations of things to do and see nearby. I stayed for a week and this was the perfect place to stay. Not too far from the ocean, but far enough away that you dont get all of the 101 traffic. The house was very clean. Susan makes the check in and check out process very simple. I loved my stay at The Lily Pad and in Port Orford. I will most definitely be back to share its beauty with others!

Lily pad fishing trip

We had an amazing time. We rented the lily pad for my moms annual birthday fishing trip up the elk. It was a very nice place to come back to after long days of fishing. Susan was great and was very prompt when we came in late after fishing. The lily pad is homey and has everything you would need!

Home Away From Home

The Lily Pad truly has a nice home away from home vibe. It’s very quiet with a lot of privacy even though it’s in a neighborhood. After a day of adventures it always felt so good to get back home and relax in the comfort of this well stocked home. We especially enjoyed the attached sun room. Susan was a delight & made sure we were right at home. We will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful, too short stay

This property was perfect for 2 couples. We all enjoyed the cozy home and fixing Thanksgiving dinner together. Both bathrooms were beautiful and spacious. It worked out well for our dog also. Susan was a wonderful host. We enjoyed visiting with her and seeing the tiny house she is building. We wished we had time to stay longer.

Return to the ocean after being away for too long.

We all enjoyed our stay at The Lily Pad. It is comfortable and well set up for two couples. We enjoyed the covered porch on more than one occasion. Everything worked. We liked it enough we are planning on returning next year. Susan is a great host. We enjoyed visiting with her and getting to see her tiny house project. We also liked seeing Wiz’s studio and work. This was our first VRBO experience and it was all positives.

Although this is an older property, everything was there to make a very livable experience. During our week long stay we enjoyed the Port Orford community and the accessibility of the beaches for our daily walks. We would stay here again in the future.

Spectacular getaway

My sister and I stayed at the Lillypad in Port Orford and had a phenomenal time. The home was spacious private with every amenity that we needed and did not need. The hostess was fantastic so easy to work with and very accommodating and attentive. The location was fabulous we were able to cover everything on our list and then some. This trip far exceeded our expectations. Very highly recommend this location.

Comfy family house

Susan was very helpful with all aspects of this rental, responding quickly and explaining the best parts of Port Orford. The house had absolutely everything needed for feeling like home and was impeccably clean. Even my dog had a sunroom to laze around in and a grassy yard to roam. Would definitely rent again when headed to the Oregon coast! Thanks again, Sue D.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Russell

Host profile image
A former high school teacher and then a live theatre manager and set designer, I now am now a construction contractor, specializing in helping older homeowners with Honey Do jobs. The Lily Pad is decorated in 1940's style, recapturing the era's simplicity but providing all the conveniences modern travelers expect.

Why they chose this property

Showing our town to out-of town friends, we passed this cute cottage which was for sale. Our friend said, "I'd like to live in that one!" Long story short -- we bought it and now offer it for your enjoyment.

What makes this property unique

The Lily Pad is just plain cozy, like going to Gramma's. Enjoy...
