Wow! Love the boonies? This is it.
What a beautiful location, perched above the Pacific with easy beach access! The property is beautifully designed with exceptional landscaping and layout of the unit. Very private. Don't try to find this place in the dark though. Even in the day, we passed the entrance several times. Signage? Also, you're quite far from supplies and restaurants here, so beware of the mininalist kitchen, as advertised. Hopefully you'll only need it during bright daylight hours because the lighting is not adequate. How about adding a light fixture? The bathroom, also, could use a new tub/shower, or at minimum a decent showerhead, as well as an exhaust fan that doesn't sound like a prop plane ready to take off.

Beautiful property with great enclosed deck (shared) for viewing the beach on rainy days. The beds were old and squeaky, though, and the main one leans back toward the headboard. Sleep was a bit of a struggle.

Needed a place to seclude away to organize 30 years of photos. Outdoor table was great and out of the weather and wind. Not a three bedroom, there is a queen bed in the living room. Great location, easy instructions and good communication. No oven/stove or BBQ, but would stay there again.

Great location
We loved the location and view. House and property are very beautiful, quiet and clean. Steps down to ocean and almost private beach are super cool and beautiful! Location was perfect for our trip too. We wished the kitchen was more complete as we had planned to cook, but there is no stove. Would recommend a single induction burner and a few pots! Also need a few more lights in kitchen and would be much more comfortable if bed in living room was a sofa bed -- not a lot of room to hang out in this place. But overall, it was a great spot. Thanks!

smells like a nursing home : (
I hate to write a negative review but this place smelled like a nursing home. carpet had stains, no water filter so you can't drink the water unless you like really bad tasting water. one window had no handle so could not open it and the blind was broken on the other window so we couldn't get a cross breeze and no fans or any way to move the air in there. bulbs were burned out in the upstairs rooms. the kitchen has a very strong coffee smell, not like ahh nice it smells like coffee - like day in day out coffee brewed all day at a diner kind of smell. it was clean but could for sure use a dusting and the smell was just so unpleasant we dreaded going back inside each day. view was 10/10. and I knew it was on the same property as the owner but you are connected to their house by the outdoor patio (picture with the view and the owls) and they have a camera above their backdoor which is right where you are sitting. so I understand having a camera on your backdoor...but it's awkward to think you might be being watched or listened to while you sit outside to enjoy the view. rip out that carpet and get some hardwoods in there. would not stay there again, would not recommend to anyone i liked. sorry for the negative review, hope some changes will be made.

Lovely place
Lovely and private. There was a queen bed downstairs and then upstairs there were two twin beds and one day bed with a trundle bed underneath. The private walkway to the beach is easy to get to. The view is fabulous. The only problems that there weren’t enough bath towels and no kitchen towels or papery towels but we made due.

Ocean Fix
The location and beach access was exquisite. Being away from the crowds works for us. The ocean view was amazing. The only issues - only one wash cloth, no dish rags - only a minor inconvenience. All in all it was a great time on the Oregon coast. Thanks!!

Beach paradise
For early June the weather was incredible and we spent time on the beach, and fishing from shore. My only complaint was there wasn’t any way to cook food other than the microwave and toaster. Also, no trash can in the kitchen made it inconvenient.

Great location
The location of this hone was just as described-right at the beach, with beautiful views from several windows. The surrounding landscape was also lovely and very peaceful. It felt very private. The downsides-no stove, no living room area-were in the description so no surprise. The stairs to the beach which bothered some people were steep but sturdy, and no problem for a 3 year old, a woman 8 months pregnant, and a senior in her seventies. We'd come again!

Great and quiet location
The place was exactly as described. It's a bit of a challenge getting off the highway but we had no issues. The place is wonderful and we enjoyed our stay. The little pick we would have is that we found it a little busy and dated. But the view, location and quiet environment were unbeatable. Though it rained most of the time there, we'd definitely come back for the summer. We'd recommend it to all.

Cozy, but comfortable
Our stay was comfortable. There is just enough room for an adult and 2 older teens. The small kitchen worked great for warming up leftover take out for lunch. The upstairs is a bit loud when the wind blows. If it is going to be windy, bring ear plugs. Great beach access and a beautiful property. We will book it again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This cottage is directly connected to the main house where the owner lives and has cameras.
I never made it inside the owner came over the camera and told me to vacate immediately because I had a dog. He is a service dog. I had messaged and verified it was acceptable. I called the management co and they accused me of lying and said there was no communication of this and wanted to send me to stay 45 min away from my group. I sent her a screen shot and then she found me a place closer that was very outdated, no ocean views, smelled like smoke, didn’t have secure WiFi so I was unable to work. I tried to call her several times and text with no response. The experience was horrible overall.

Beautiful View!
The stay was pleasant. The view is absolutely fantastic! I would have enjoyed a nice home cooked meal during my stay. However, there is no stove in the unit. That was kind of a bummer. Also, there is a very steep and narrow stair case to the beach. Although, it was a nice workout going up and down the steep stair case. But, if you're an older couple that has a hard time getting around I wouldn't suggest this rental.

Needs some improvements
Since we arrived after sunset, we passed by the property at least 3 times before finding it. There needs to be lighting or a sign saying this is Driftwood Beach Guest House. The instructions for the code to the gate was backwards, and wrong in the first part of the email, it was way down in the notes to use # after the code. Overall, it was clean, but the blankets smelled like old aftershave, & the entire place could use a deep clean. I found it odd there were mattress protectors on the beds, but that's ok, we still slept very well. The stairs were VERY dangerous & not up to safety regulations. This is my first time using this booking service, and I was surprised to see how much I had to pay upfront before arriving. I will continue to use the competitor's service instead. PRO: The location & view is AMAZING!

Very comfortable with a great view. Convenient location. We liked the virtual tour which gave us a good idea of what to expect. The access to the beach was too difficult for some of us down very long steep narrow steps with a rope rail. We did have a bit of difficulty with the entry gate.

My sister's and I needed this getaway. Very quiet and cozy. The layout of the mother-in-law quarters was different. But was described in the details with pictures. There needs to be a deep clean done but overall it was clean to the eye. We would go again.

Didn't read the fine print
Its everything they said... our bad for not reading the description. No stove or dishwasher. The downstairs bedroom is the living room, nothing in seal rock so we spent $90 on food that was microwave friendly or would fit in the tiny fridge. We will never stay here again 😞
