The house was great for our getaway. Watching the sunset was spectacular. I like the coziness of the house & it was a great walking neighborhood for the pups.
Very beautiful place to stay! The location is perfect and the scenery is breathtaking. The house was very clean and easy to find as well. You can see the ocean from the bedrooms which made it easy to relax. We highly recommend staying here if given the chance.
We can't say enough about the amazing view from every window in this property. Loved sitting on the deck and just looking out on the water. The loft area has plenty of games, dvds, etc. Comfortable beds and plenty of room.
Property was adequate for our party of 4. Directions were easy to follow and the view from the property was amazing. Spent the weekend on the beautiful deck whale watching.
The view was spectacular. Nice deck for the dogs to hang out on as well. Kitchen was super small, but it was fine as I went out to dinner and breakfast the next morning. The upstairs was lovely and comfortable.
The location and the view it’s fantastic but the bedding they were not clean and they need to buy new pillows.

Stunning views
Using the lock box was tricky.
The house was adequate but you can not tell by the photos how awkwardly it is set up,
House allows dogs which is one reason we chose it, but there are many stains on the carpets.
Absolutely stunning views!
Cozy, comfortable, clean unit and right in line with description. Incredible weather, wave, bird, and WHALE watching throughout our 3-day stay. Will definitely plan to return and would recommend to anyone. Was especially great to have our sweet little old lady dog along. Would not recommend for larger active canines.
One day into our vacation, we noticed a propane leak at our rental. We contacted property management, and they immediately moved us to another location within minutes.The new rental was just as good, if not better! We had a nice peaceful time in Depoe Bay.
We stayed 4-nights for our 11 year anniversary to enjoy the sights from Lincoln City to Newport. This location was perfect with spectacular views. The home could use a little TLC, however the beds were comfortable and the views were breathtaking. We highly recommend bringing binoculars to fully enjoy the whale watching and fishing/whale watching boats. We even met the owners and they were very friendly. We’re so glad they offer their space for others to enjoy.
The view was spectacular.
The carpets had dog pee stains on them on both floors, dead flies on the floor, the fireplace ( source of heat) didn't work, chipped dishes & stained mattress. Wouldnt stay there again.

Place is badly needing updates. Comforters are old n worn. Dishes are mis- matched n chipped. Spots on carpet. Views are terrific. The late check in and early out also make it difficult to really enjoy much time there.
I chose this cottage because it sits atop a craggy cliff overlooking the ocean with no beach in sight in order to avoid tourists, as I needed to relax and recharge. My stay was everything I wanted; quiet and relaxing with astounding views. I literally spent most of my time at the windows upstairs reading and watching the ocean (so glad I brought binoculars!). I will note that if you or your children get bored easily, this is probably not an ideal choice as you will have to drive a mile or so for beaches and shops. But if it's just you and your partner, it will be ideal.
The views were absolutely incredible, we could have just sat in front of the window all day. The house was great too, kitchen was a little small for folks that like to cook and the fridge is incredibly small … not ideal for longer stays unless you plan on eating out most days (unfortunate because the views are so amazing ) :) we will definitely be back!!
Checking in was a little confusing, but happened to run into the owner who was very helpful. Beautiful view and quiet neighborhood. Loved how accommodating everything was for our two golden retrievers.
Gas stove for heating wasn't functional, no coffee available, no stopper for the kitchen sink, no hair dryer

The house was completely funky with very little room. The kitchen is very small with a dwarf refer. It was advertised as 2 bedrooms and the second bed was in an open area with no privacy and a bathroom far away. Terrible!
