There were seven of us staying there, all adults, and we never felt crowded. The house is in a quiet wooded area and feels very private. We would love to come back to this beautiful vacation home."

AWESOME Blackberry Hill!!!

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

"The place was beautiful and breathtaking!!! The view of the beach outside the wall-to-wall windows was awesome!!! The rustic decor in all the rooms was fabulous! We did whale watching through Whale's Tail Charters. Captain Gary, the owner of the raft, was wonderful. I was so excited to see the whales I could not snap the pictures fast enough, but I did get one good shot, and my son Shane got a video! We also rented dune buggies from Full Throttle Rentals LLC outside of Florence. Nothing like having your body jarred every which way. LOL The property was immaculately clean. We had breakfast food that we had brought with us and ate out once at the Deep End Cafe and later at the Arctic Circle. My son Stetsen enjoyed picking blackberries, and we made blueberry (From Safeway) and blackberry pancakes. We used the big grill that was in the cupboard but had to hunt for the cord mechanism. It was NOT with the grill. Finally found it inside the teapot, which does not even use a cord! LOL Something strange happened the second night. My son Stetsen was awakened at 4 a.m. because the chair outside his sliding glass door on the west side of the house where the Master bedroom was had been knocked over with a bang. He thought someone was in the house other than us, and he checked, and we all were asleep. Stetsen is almost 24 years old. His twin brother the night before placed a chair that was in about the middle of the deck close to the railing so he could prop his feet up in order to relax and view the ocean. When Shane got up after having sat in the chair, he did NOT move the chair back next to the house so it was actually blocking anyone walking along the deck. When my husband got up the next morning, he noticed that 2 of the chairs that had been next to the house the night before on the east side were now facing opposite directions and were now in front of the deck gate, no longer against the house.

"Hello Dale and Linda, Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Blackberry Hill. It sounds like you and your family had a wonderful time exploring the coast and enjoying the lay of the land at the home. We are sorry to hear that you were frightened in the middle of the night. As this home is quite far from other homes and therefore people, we wonder if maybe an animal was wandering around the property and messed with the chairs. It doesn't seem likely that it would be a person in this particular area. We are glad to hear that you were all safe either way. We hope to have you stay with us again in the future.

Amazing Week

There were so many blankets and comforts of home around that it made our Thanksgiving anniversary getaway cozy and comfortable. The driveway was shockingly steep, but that was really the only negative we had about the place. Oh, and the coffee filters should be placed in plain sight... we bought some and then found many in a hidden cupboard later. We left our stash for the next visitors."

Great beachside getaway

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

"Overall, our stay at the house was very pleasant and relaxing. The amenities offered were sufficient to keep us occupied and comfortable during the rain and after dark. The home offered plenty of room and at no time did we feel like we were at a rental home or cramped for space. There were a few quirky items found, like the light switch controlling the ceiling fan in the master bedroom as well as a ceiling light fixture that had to remain illuminated if you wanted to run the fan...but that was tolerable, so long as you didn't require complete darkness to sleep. The other thing that was an annoyance was the lack of sufficient/clear signage to locate the property. Also, the oven refused to "bake" and would only broil, but that wasn't too inconvenient. Overall, I would recommend this house to anyone that is seeking a comfortable and spacious getaway with plenty of privacy."

"First, we would stay here again. The great room is great, so is the view & location. I think the owners need to stay here and take care of some things. Master screen door is torn & only one window has a screen. Queen bedroom has a very broken lamp along with a tiny lamp-no bedside reading here. Also, lamp in the living room is broken. Kitchen is unorganized, I found the crockpot in the closet and the lid above the fridge. The coffeepot should be tossed - I didn't find the other coffeemakers until our last day. (We left coffee filters as a courtesy to the next guests, yes this s/b provided.) *DO NOT BRING A BOAT HERE* Rent a boat slip instead, parking is very, very tight. We ran out of water on our final day! We were unable to flush the toilets & didn't have drinking water. Apparently this is a known issue with this house. We were very conservative with our water, no one showered the day before even or did laundry. There needs to be backup water available! Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay."

Theamenities were comfortable and the home had everything we needed. Overall, we would recommend and would go again.

Three Days Wasn’t Long Enough...

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

"We rented this beautiful home once before about ten months ago and rated our stay excellent in every category. In that short period of time, the rental has gone slightly down hill. The second we opened the front door you could see the change: The floors were dull when before they were gleaming. A half full “take out” drink container along with a dust cloth were left on a side table (possibly from housekeeping?). We found several large dust bunnies under the dining room table. The windows were very dirty which distracted from the gorgeous view. The oven was dirty and when turned on it smoked and smelled. Possibly there was a change in the housekeepers, and that might be the difference? There were seven of us, but not enough utensils and bowls for all of us to use at one time. That was odd since it was supposed to accommodate eight guests. We did like the new gas fireplace! Okay, with all of that said, we still think this is a great place and would love to stay there again. It’s a comfortable and beautiful home. It was hard to leave when our short vacation came to an end."

"I took my family and a couple of the kids friends to Blackberry Hill. We had a blast! We just love this cabin. A couple of things I noticed that could have been better: 1- Yes it gets dusty, but someone needs to dust the items that are not reachable without a ladder- they are filthy at the top.2- The kitchen counter was not cleaned, it had syrup or jelly on it and when I entered the house I set some items right on the counter- gross.3- on the Friday May 17th, upon returning from a visit to Newport, there were people on the property that claimed they were the cleaning crew- but they were lying and were actually some locals that frequent the cabin often when there are not tenants. They were eating lunch and having what looked to be a date? Someone should look at the camera's from the property since it is obviously a problem. I had no other visitors after that Friday.All of those will not deter me from visiting again with my family, perhaps for the Holidays!PS- with the cleaning fees being what they are, why did we need to run the dishwasher, sweep and strip the beds??"

Amazing view but not oceanfront

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

"The view is amazing! The description was not accurate; I expected to be able to hear and smell the ocean but it is a long down the very very steep hill and across highway 101. The description was accurate for the main floor. It’s gorgeous. Be advised that there are NO TVs in the bedrooms. The one on this floor needs to be larger to be proportionate to the great room. Neither of the beautiful antler lamps worked and the kitchen has limited small appliances (no blender or crockpot or storage containers). Aside from these, this floor is great. The downstairs however was disappointing. Two futons need to be replaced and not comfortable and neither were the two iron patio chairs brought inside for seating. Tacky. Pool table felt needs some TLC. Game room cabinets were unorganized. The amenities on this floor are inferior. The downstairs directv remote was missing but maintenance showed us how to use the tv without it. This property has a lot of good qualities but too many negatives for me to return so unfortunately I would not recommend it."

"This house was great. Spacious, great for entertaining a big family or group of friends. Enjoyed the game room (although it is quite dated and the pool sticks are warped) it was still enjoyable. Loved the view, and the porch was great for a nice sunny weekend. My ONLY suggestion. BRING YOUR OWN PILLOWS. The pillows were absolutly awful, so thin you might as well be sleeping without one. Other than that I would defenitly stay here again, however I WILL NEVER BOOK THROUGH VRBO AGAIN. So misleading with the fees. Our rate $250 a night, we stayed two nights and ended up paying almost $1,000. Due to random fees like "reservation fee" what the **** is that, and an additional $80 charge for using VRBO? And then the usual cleaning fee on top of that. Was actually not worth the total cost. However, that is not the homeowners fault. "

We hope to have you stay with us again soon on the Oregon coast for another wonderful trip to the Oregon coast. Thank you again for your review."

September Beach Vacation

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

"Very much enjoyed my stay here. The place was spacious, which allowed my family to spread out and not step all over each other. The kitchen was well stocked with knives, pots and pans, etc. The master bedroom was beautiful and well proportioned. Lots of space for clothes and luggage. Plenty of bathrooms for everyone to use, including a jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. Also very close to the beach and great views. The only downside with the location is that you do have to run across the highway to get to the beach. This wasn't a big deal for me but if you have small children or are elderly, it may be a bit hazardous. As for the downsides, there were a few glaring problems. The biggest of which is that there are only 2 TVs, neither of which is easily watchable without moving furniture and no TV's are located in any of the bedrooms. I did not see a reasonable justification for not including a TV in at least the master bedroom, let alone some of the other bedrooms. Finally, there were some maintenance issues that took me by surprise given the easily fixable nature of these issues and the amount of money charged for staying here."

Spectacular Home!!!

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

"BE AWARE -- STEEP DRIVEWAY!!!When we walked in, we were home!! The view is breathtaking!! We watched whales for the first couple of hours from the amazing deck. When our friends arrived, we enjoyed time on the deck, then when the sun set, we went downstairs to the very well equipped game room.Only negative.....the garbage has not been taken down for pickup in a very long time. Bin is overflowing, which is an eyesore, but also a attractant to the wildlife."

The sunsets alone were worth every penny

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

"During our wonderful visit at your home we experienced amazing views of the ocean, sunsets that blew us away and great fun around the campfire. Your game room downstairs was terrific but some recliners would be wonderful for those there to share laughter with the players. This home is ample and decorated with care but truth be told all the beds were not comfortable. I suggest maybe some gel foam toppers or new beds. After long travels it would have been a great addition to a sleep in a comfy bed. Also, as I was traveling with two very avid sports fans and they truly felt that such a lovely large living room could definitely hold a much larger television with a DVD player that works and a little more variety in movies for those stormy Oregon days/nights would be great. As an older person a nice sturdy bench outside to view the magnificent sunsets would be nice. But we did appreciate the resin adirondack chairs you supplied but a bit too low. But thank you for your kindness in having seating outside. Unfortunately it was a working vacation for me and the wifi would not work the entire time which was extremely frustrating. Although the above contains suggestions for a perfect stay, your home was lovely and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this home and I'd stay there again. "

Wonderful property!

"My family had a wonderful time staying at this property. Everything was clean. It was beautifully decorated and a warm and inviting property. We had our stay cut short because of Covid regulations. The communication between the rental company and us was not ideal. The property itself was fine though. "

"Great location and view! You can to get a better view in the area!We had a couple of issue, but the management company and owner quickly fixed them and made it right.One suggestion would be to have better outdoor furniture on the deck. The current plastic chairs were broke in many spots, With that view, it would have been great to sit outside and enjoy the view on nice furnitureOverall a good place and we would come back"

Family vacation and anniversary trip

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

"This is a beautiful location. We had our adult children all together for our 20th anniversary and our sons wedding. The house is private and quiet and the views are amazing. We had everything we needed while staying in this house to prepare meals and enjoy each other. Right across from beach access and very close to Newport. The only thing that we had a problem with is there is not a single comfortable bed in this house. They're horrible. By the time we went home we were exhausted, sore and couldn't wait to go home. I read on some reviews others said the same thing but they were reviews from 2018. I figured since they responded and said they would look into this issue that it has been resolved. But it was like sleeping on the floor. Hard, knotty, old mattresses. We were on vacation for rest and relaxation but did not feel like we got any sleep at all. They really need to replace the beds in this home. Especially for the price, considering you rent a place for the sleeping accommodations not just views. If They had even decent beds I would book this house a few times a year. But as is now I wouldn't recommend it if you are trying to relax. You won't be able to sleep. Sad too because everything else about this home is perfect. Clean, beautiful and perfect for a beach vacation with a family. "
