40th Wedding Anniversary Retreat

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

"My husband and I flew into Portland rented a convertible and took off exploring the great state of Oregon! After some days on the road we arrived at Serndipity. It was perfect! It had a million dollar view from our deck and hot tub. Then when we went inside the view continued thru the large windows. Toward the sea. We saw whales and magnificent waves. The bed was great, the shower was just right. The recliners were ok. The futon/couch was also ok. The kitchen cabinets were well equipped. It was a perfect get away!"

A Taste of Paradise

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

"WOW! What an experience. It was a little taste of paradise. Only thing that would have made it better was the weather. It rained most of the time we were there, but the accommodations were perfect and the view was spectacular. Great place for whale watching, if it was the right season. We did get to watch the Coast Guard practicing rescue maneuvers. Everything was exactly as described on the website. Drove to nearby Newport and had a great Bread Bowl Clam Chowder at the Chowder Bowl Restaurant, a nice little place near the beach. Would highly recommend this as a great get-away place for a mini vacation, and look forward to staying there again."

Romantic & Fun Getaway

Overall satisfaction:

"First off, this was our very first time renting a cabin out of state. And I must say, this experience has been absolutely amazing. I spoke to a rep on the phone when reserving the cabin, and she answered all of my questions and concerns. The cabin is much bigger inside that you might think, and very open and clean, with many windows looking out over the ocean. The hot tub was a nice addition. They built a couple walls around the hot tub for more privacy. We also brought our little dog with us, and the owners provided a bed for her! She very much enjoyed herself, starring out at the ocean in the mornings. And there's enough parking for 2 vehicles. Our F-150 fit just fine. So, overall it was a great experience for us. A much needed break away from our lives. We plan on renting this cabin in the future. Thank you again!"

Wonderful ocean view

Overall satisfaction:

"What a great place to stay. The living room/kitchen is all windows. The location is private but within walking distance of Depoe Bay. The hot tub is fabulous looking out to the ocean. There were oatmeal cups and coffee in the kitchen. We had a marvelous time and would definitely come back. Just the right size for 2 people."

Great view, even in a storm

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

"We didn't get to see any whales, not because the view was lacking, but because we stayed in Depoe Bay on a very stormy late October weekend. Pouring rain, 25-30 mph winds, you name it. The ocean was a bit perky! The cottage was very cozy and comfortable. Our only complaint was that the hot tub was cold when we arrived at 4 pm check-in and it took several hours to heat up. So, we only got to use it the second day we were there. "

awesome winter weekend

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

"This little cabin is a great couples getaway or 3 person family escape. The cabin has not been updated recently, but it was clean and perfect for a quick weekend away. Also being Dog friendly was key for us and it has a little 3 person hot tub on the deck for us to sit and enjoy the ocean from the bluff. It was exactly what we wanted. We used it all 3 days and it was awesome!The bedroom has a queen size bed and it was in good shape. They advertise a small pull out couch for the 3rd person in the living room and I would say that isn't exactly what it was. The cushions pull out to make a bed yes, but it was as hard as the floor. We had to make a trip into Bi-mart and got a blowup mattress to get by with because my son could'nt sleep on the couch. Its also not a full size couch that you could just lay on and sleep. It more of a love seat size. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking on a stovetop and provided a toaster oven for baking. There's no full oven. Its a half fridge and had plenty of room for a weekends worth of groceries. There is also no dishwasher so all dishes get washed by hand. They leave you everything you need for soaps. There was a small supply of salts and pepper in the cupboard for cooking, but plan on bringing what you need if you really want to cook. There is no outside grill for BBQ either. This cabin really is set up for two people and couples, If you have a child and are coming from the local area of PDX then bring a blowup mattress!! Hopefully they will read this and consider getting one for guests to use or replace the couch with something that works for a 3rd guest in the cabin. It really was the only downer in our weekend as we didn't sleep well the first night at all.This is not a posh upscale finished location, it is a rustic older beach cabin that will need updating someday soon, but it was perfect for a quick beach getaway and made a good home base with beautiful views of the bay a"

"this is a great spot for two people, on a cliff overlooking the bay (you feel like you can reach out and touch the ocean), adequate amenities, (micro, stove top, no oven), homey/comfortable. It was my second time. FYI The hot tub rapidly loses heat as soon as the top is off, as if the heater can't keep up. Other than that highly reccomended. "

Next morning at 10 a technician arrived and reset the hot tub. Finally it reach 104 DEGREES around 8pm. So we did get to use it that night and the next morning before we left for home."

Simply Perfect!

Overall satisfaction:

"This was the perfect getaway my mom and I needed for a few days! A wonderfully quaint and clean abode! Had everything we could need there and Depoe Bay has become one of my favorite places on the oregon coast. Felt like the whales, birds, and a little chipmunk we saw each morning became our friends in a sense. The views were just breathtaking... especially sunsets enjoyed in the hot tub! The space and amenities were just right. So hard to leave this peaceful place and return to the realities of non-vacation life. Thanks for such a great place for a bit of relaxing respite!"
