Another relaxing vacation

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

"This was our fifth time at Pacific Sands, our second in this unit. We love Neskowin and feel it's a nice, central location for everything we like to do. The pro's for this condo: Comfortable bed, spacious bedroom area, two bathrooms, fantastic view, double balconies, wifi worked fairly well, kitchen fairly well equipped for a rental. The dining set was nice sized, but we rarely eat at the condo. We also found the book selection to be eclectic and fun.Cons: plumbing really needs updated. No garbage disposal and both toilets had to be repeatedly flushed to empty. The living room furniture; the recliner is nice but everything else is uncomfortable. Again, even though it is dated, it was very clean. The exterior of the building is well maintained and the balconies are nice and sturdy. We did have an issue with dogs this time. There were several surrounding units with dogs that barked continually throughout the day, although we fortunately were never woken up by it. I also didn't see any owner cleaning up after their dogs in the back grassy area, which would have been really annoying if we'd been on the ground level. Overall you can't beat the price and location of these condos. We had a very, very hard time leaving this time, even looking into seeing if there were any for sale! We will definitely be back."

Sofa is uncomfortable. Bring a hair dryer (or embrace beach wavy hair!) Vent fans in bath do not work.

Overall satisfaction:

"My husband and I love this place! We've enjoyed the cozy, casual, comfort and incredible view of #18 at Pacific Sands for 20 years. The little village of Neskowin is fun to explore, walks on the uncrowded beach are refreshing, and hikes on nearby forest trails exhilarating. At the end of the day we return to #18 for a pleasant evening, reading a book, listening to the waves, and watching the fire flicker. What more could you ask for? "

Nice Condo

Overall satisfaction:

"We spent the three days before Thanksgiving at the condo, so it was very quiet--hardly anyone else around. It rained and was stormy most of the time, so we enjoyed watching the waves as they came up to the rip-rap. We especially liked that the condo had ocean-view windows plus doors to balconys in both the living room and the bedroom. Both rooms were quite spacious, much larger than most hotel/motel rooms would be. We also appreciated the two baths. Everything was very clean and the furnishings were quite adequate for our stay--not new but in good shape. There were even some books to keep us occupied as we also watched the waves. We enjoyed a pizza from the store one night, and the next night brought back some takeout from Hawk Cafe; both were quite good."

Perfect viewpoint with Chief Kiwanda Rock to the north and Propsal Rock to the south. Excellent beach for stretching your legs when tide is out. #18 was an awesome second floor suite. Lovely beach colored interior, all the amenities for a comfortable stay, with two decks, a wall of windows facing the ocean, two sleeping areas with separate bathrooms & cute little kitchen.

Very relaxing

Overall satisfaction:

"This is our third time at this complex, but our first time on the second story. We wanted to experience stormy weather, but didn't want to risk having the windows boarded over, so we opted for an upper condo. The view from the balconies was even better than the ground floor. The drawback is that you have to go out the front and around instead of just walking out your back door if you want to go on the beach. This unit has a large bedroom with a very comfortable bed. It also had two nice sized bathrooms. The "pink" bathroom had a very slow drain so you may want to use the "grey" one for showering. The living room had a newer t.v. so we were able to hook up our Roku and catch up on some movies in our down time. We didn't do any major cooking, as we head to Lincoln City or Pacific City for most meals. We did try the pizza from the trading post this time and really liked it. The only improvement I would suggest is more comfortable furniture in the living room. There was one recliner that was very comfortable, but the love seat (which I believe folded out) was not at all comfortable to sit and watch t.v. on. The storms that came through during our stay were fairly mild, but we still loved to stand on the balcony and watch the force of the waves. And, yes, they do shake the building and rattle the doors, which is part of the fun! We always travel with a box fan for white noise though, so it didn't keep us up at night. We really enjoyed our stay and will absolutely consider this unit when making future reservations!"

Beach front condo in Newkowin

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

"The property is in an ideal location and for the most part in excellent condition with a few exceptions. The heating was a bit of a mystery! There were three thermostats, two within a couple feet of each other. There were no visible heating vents so it was not possible to tell if heat was on or not. We suspected radiant heat but at times the unit was quite cold and we had to turn the heat to 80 to get some feeling of heat. Cold air was blowing in from around the ceiling lights in the second bathroom making it the bathroom uncomfortably cold. As well, cold air was coming in from air vent above the kitchen range making the kitchen cold. Once the outside temperature improved and the wind subsided the temperature in the unit overall improved. Additionally, the lock on the front door did not function properly and we had to call to access the key from the lock box to gain access to the unit. We tried numerous times to use the front door push button lock but it never worked the three days we were there."

The hide-a-bed is not comfortable either.) Very nice having the two bathrooms and the view/location is unbeatable. Take your time with the electronic lock... it is easy to get it messed up and too many tries will lock you out for a few minutes! We had no problems during our visit and the rental process was a breeze."

Great Stay in #18!

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

"We stayed 5 nights in #18.. The unit had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed the 70s decor! The oceanfront view was absolutely perfect. There were only 3 downsides to the condo: the keypad on the front door is wonky and sometimes the zero button would stick. It took us up to 4 tries at times trying to enter the code to gain access to the condo. That's really annoying after awhile but not a deal breaker for us. The second issue was the heat. We were able to turn the thermostat in the living room off but we could still feel heat coming from the area by the recliner. We tried keeping the sliding door cracked at night but we still woke up sweating a bit which was really uncomfortable. That needs to get fixed. Finally, the couch really is uncomfortable and the throw pillows were stained quite a bit. We hardly sat on the couch since it hurt our backs. Seems like it would be worth investing in an updated couch. We really did enjoy the oceanfront view, but with these couple of issues we decided to try another place before coming back to this unit. The biggest issue for us was not being able to get the heat off. The keypad and the couch were things we can deal with on their own. The location, beach access and the sound of waves was awesome!"

Disappointing stay

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

"It was unfortunate that we were not told before our stay, that all the units on the entire lower floor were being remodeled due to storm damage. We arrived to construction noise in the unit directly below us. This was not the peaceful retreat we had been expecting. I called to see if we could move to another unit, but nothing was available. We were offered a place in Lincoln City, which we declined. We have been coming to Neskowin for fifty years, and that is where we wanted to spend our 50th wedding anniversary. The unit was adequate but didn't feel inviting. I realize that decor is a personal choice, but we found the bedroom dark, and the lighting very poor. As others have mentioned, the couch is uncomfortable, and cushions stained. The ceiling above the tub in the pink bathroom looked moldy. I'm not sure it was mold, but it definitely needs attention. We didn't feel comfortable here, and would not return.The one positive note involves the gentleman who serves as the HOA onsite manager. He was very helpful, and we enjoyed his bird sanctuary."
