"This was our first mini-vacation as a family since our 4 and a half daughter was born. This place was far from disappointing. The pictures don't so it justice, and the feel is indescribable, haven't felt such peace in a while. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, and a short drive to Nye Beach area, which has great restaurants and cute shops. We didn't have to contact the management company, but part of that is because all their instructions are clear. The house itself is in great shape and very clean. We will definitely be working our schedule around next time we go to Newport, just so we can stay there again!"

Beautiful Place

Overall satisfaction:

"We spent our anniversary at this beautiful place and had a great time. Overall, the cottage is gorgeous but privacy was an issue. The floor to ceiling windows offered amazing views of the winter storms but, they also allowed those coming driving into the property a full view of the inside of the cottage. The sun shades did little to minimize this and with the loft also having no privacy, this was a concern in the evenings. Otherwise, this cottage was perfect - great kitchen, warm and inviting living area and a spectacular view of the pacific ocean. We will likely stay here again in the warmer months. "

Gorgeous Condo, Stunning Views

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"Property was as described, clean and well-maintained. When we arrived (a bit early) the manager was there putting fresh batteries in the TV remote. There was no need for further contact during our visit due to a guest binder with full explanations about what to do. The coffee pot was on the blink, and we left a note for the manager advising them to replace it. We have already recommended the property to a friend going to the coast later this year. While in town, we loved walking the beach, and eating at local restaurants (Local Ocean Seafood, Clearwater, Rogue Brewery), but enjoyed the opportunity to have 2 meals a day at "home." We highly recommend this condo. "

The only *tiny* problem was that the bushes in front of the house were overgrown to the point that they hid the house number. Oh, and the whirlpool tub is a nice amenity, but it would be nicer if the hot water tank were big enough to fill it. It's not worth using as is. This is not a big deal to me, though, and we would absolutely stay here again!"

Absolutely Beautiful!

Overall satisfaction:

"Such a beautiful setting, property, and view! Just a short walk down to Agate Beach. This property would be perfect for a week or more stay. Sadly we only had the weekend, but would love to come back and stay longer because it had all the necessary amenities. Cozying up by the gas fireplace with a movie was just what we needed. Close to all of the sites in Newport, movie theatre, bayfront, etc. And also close enough to drive to Depoe Bay to enjoy dinner at Tidal Raves! This property is well built and very comfortable. Lovely kitchen and back deck. Favorite part: the jetted tub. :) Only downside: the furnace kicked on every 30-60 mins or so and it was loud enough to wake us up. If you're a city dweller, no problem. But we're from the country, so it was more noise than we are used to. But definitely plan to return! "

"We enjoyed this condo for our Mother's Day weekend. It really only sleeps 2 people (has an opened loft, a futon bed pullout) so best for a couple or small family. Very clean, great kitchen, wonderful gas fireplace and they have upgraded the TV to a flat screen. The television remote did not appear to work consistently and was confusing so instructions would be helpful. We absolutely loved the cathedral windows and view! Unfortunately, an inconsiderate person parked their gigantic boat in front of our view to the ocean. It didn't block the view but was a formidable eyesore in the foreground. On our last morning, this boat owner walked by and said "sorry I parked my boat here but I had no room". I didn't even know what to say because it was not excusable for him to obstruct our view because of his boat parking problem. I'm relaying this in hopes that the owners advocate for a no parking zone along the road where these condos face the ocean. "

Rocky start, improves over 5 days

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"Finding our place was tricky. The hospitality app limits the description and (google)map to Oceanview rd.The exact address requires two more short street turns. The unit number is blocked by shrubery. We called the assistance number and eventually got in with verbal help. It's lovely inside. The photo in the rental ad makes it appear as if you can walk straight out to the beach. The beach is across the busy road, and down an embankment not walkable. Access is close, down the road by car. Agate beach is wonderful with warm sand dunes and good kite flying and walking. The lighthouse and surrounding area is interesting to visit with wildlife and views. The town is a short drive away with all conveniences available. The old town has restaurants, and some shopping. A little to the pier where fish come in further and over the bridge to the aquarium. The place was peaceful at night. Great refrigerator and Jenn-Aire range made meal making easy. In the end, we were happy to be there."
