Gene's Coastal Escape

40th birthday family fun

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

"We rented this place to celebrate my husbands birthday with my two kids. There was tons of room for two teenagers and parents. It’s has a beautiful view. The wind is something crazy at this location. I’m thankful there was a porch with wind blocking screens so that we could sit outside and enjoy the sunset. The beach is a short walk over the dunes. I wouldn’t recommend this spot if you wanted to spend all your time on the beach. But if you’re looking for a nice relaxing spot to just chill out for a few days, This is for you. Bring some cds to play and enjoy the 80s vibe. "

Fantastic Oregon Coast Getaway!

Overall satisfaction:

"Unbelievably beautiful home on one of the most serene, peaceful beaches I have ever seen! Stayed there for four days in August 2018, and cannot wait to go back.... From the moment we walked in the front door, our jaws dropped, pictures just cannot do justice to the panorama that awaits you. The kitchen, living areas, bedrooms, all share a sweeping, magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean and long sandy beaches. The home is extremely open and inviting, the kitchen well stocked, and the bedrooms large, clean and inviting. Everything you need is there! We had two friends from Corvalis come to join us for dinner the first night, relaxing at dinner and watching the sunset, was magical. They are planning on coming back with their entire family this summer. There is plenty to explore during the day, restaurants to enjoy at night, great shops nearby with a nice selection of fresh foods and anything else you could ever need. Personally, I enjoyed the quiet relaxation and sound of the surf more than anything else. My only regret is that we only had four days to spend, needed more!"

Fantastic Vacation Property

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

"Great property in an awesome location. The view is unbeatable. The listing mentions a BBQ, but there wasn't one available while we were there. A couple of the previous comments mention a path to the beach at the end of the cul-de-sac, but it's not really feasible unless you like wading through brush and weeds and don't mind a close encounter with a couple of homeless tents in the woods. However, beach access is about 1/4 mile away to the north and another around 2.5 miles away to the south."

Perfect Location

Overall satisfaction:

""My wife and I stayed in this wonderful home for a week in June 2018. The sunsets were spectacular. The house is comfortable with an unobstructed view of the ocean. It is so quiet in the evening all you hear are the waves. Shopping and restaurants are minutes away. Be sure to visit the light house about 15 minutes away, the views are fabulous. We saw whales and numerous species of birds. There are many attractions up and down the coast this is an excellent location for short tips north or south like the Tillamook Cheese factory. We cant wait for our next visit!" My review from 4-14-2019 was incorrect this is a FIVE STAR location and the 3 stars entered was incorrect"

Wonderful Property!

Overall satisfaction:

"We stayed at this property last July, and it was our favorite vacation last year. The views from all parts of the house are beautiful, especially at sunset. We were very comfortable - one of our kids slept in the guest room, and one on the fold out couch in the upstairs den. The house is well equipped, and we cooked a majority of our meals instead of going out. We were steps from the beach, and what a beach! It went on for miles, and we spent a lot of time walking the beach and flying kites. The town has a great kite shop, and our two teenagers found kites that kept them busy during the vacation. This is a great starting point for coast drives, both down the coast and up. I had never been to the Oregon coast before, and it was breathtaking. We are planning a return trip. "

Rough start but eventually satisfied

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

"Upon arrival the water was completely shut off. Took about 3 hours to get instructions on how to turn it on. This created a bad first impression obviously but was eventually corrected. I must say that although the carpets were clean they had multiple stains in all the rooms- really detracted from the homes appearance. Ice maker did not work but plenty of ice trays available. On the positive side- very nice view as shown in the pictures. All the window shades were easy to operate and appeared to be new. Plenty of towels and wash cloths (there were only two of us), a large family might not agree. Gas fireplace was quite efficient and visually pleasing. Nice quiet neighborhood very close to town. "

Winter Get-a-Way In Oregon

Overall satisfaction:

"We were lucky enough to stay in this lovely home in February for winter storms. What a view and the weather did not let us down! Amazing wind and waves were enjoyed while walking the beach or from the safety and warmth of the home. Special pluses of the house were the separate bedrooms and baths, each couple had privacy and those who enjoyed sleeping late were not disturbed while morning folks enjoyed that early cup of coffee and the views from the kitchen. Since the weather was blustery we especially enjoyed the upstairs game room for puzzles, cards and streaming movies. We look forward to enjoying Newport again and all it has to offer"

Mixed bag in a beautiful setting

"This home needs some serious attention, and the cleaning service was sub-par at best. Due to Covid we arrived and immediately got to work cleaning the key areas. We found significant food stuff in the refrig, confirming that the cleaning promised was poor. The BBQ was truly filthy, so I had to clean it up to make it usable. For a 12 day stay we were given just a few soaps for the washer and dishwasher. The carpets throughout are badly stained. 2 of the beds were acceptable, but the two hideabeds are truly garbage. At the premium prices they are charging all of this should have been dealt with. The location, setting and general design of the house is wonderful, and we had a great time with our grandkids."
