Waldport, Oregon
Located on Yaquina John Point, Beachside Suites is central to all major attractions. Just south of the property are Governor Patterson state park, Cape Perpetua, Heceta Head light house, and Sea Lion Caves. Just north are Seal Rock, Oregon Coast Aquarium and Newport light houses. Guests enjoy access to seven miles of smooth, sandy beach. Walks are peaceful, since the beach is semi-private. Many rare birds can be seen on the beach. Whales can be seen just off shore, migrating north or south. Harbor seals swim in the water near the beach. North of the property is the Alsea river, which offers fishing and hiking opportunities. There are restaurants, grocery stores, and numerous shops, just one mile away. There is a golf course one mile southeast. A convenient visitors center is located one mile north, where you will find hundreds of brochures with helpful vacation ideas. Returning guests comment on the small-town atmosphere as a major reason for their return.
Beach Access: Beachside Suite has very easy beach access. It takes approximately 3 minutes to reach the sand. This beautiful beach stretches from the town of Waldport to the town of Yachats, where the beach becomes lava outcroppings.
Attractions: There are many attractions both north and south of Beachside Suites. About 20 miles south are the Sea Lion Caves. Just north of the caves is the Heceta Light House, and some of the best views on the west coast. About 10 miles south of Beachside Suites is Cape Perpetua. This is a 500 foot cliff where tourists can view the ocean and outstanding sunsets. Just north of the Beachside Suites is Otter Rock. This is a very interesting and unusual group of rocks. About 15 miles north of Beachside Suites is the town of Newport where one can see the Oregon Coast Aquarium and 2 lighthouses. And right in the town of Waldport, the Alsea River meets the ocean. Highway 34 runs along the river. Many sightseers enjoy drives up the river.
We stayed a full month at this property. It's small but clean and well-maintained. Best of all it's less than a block from beach access. We've stayed here in the past and plan to do so in the future.
The property was as expected,with easy check in and check out. The host was thorough with instructions. I had the pet-friendly area, and there were several options for walking. Beach is nearby, but may pose accessibility difficulties for anyone with mobility issues/bad knees. Its 30 minutes to Newport and 15 minutes to Yachats. There are limited dining out options in Waldport, but a fairly large grocery.
This was perfect for my fiancé, myself and our small pup! It was a short walk to the beach! The owner Jeff texted us to verify we made it and got into the house!! Very welcoming!!

Black out curtains, heaters in the individual rooms, great communication.
LOVE the mattress topper on the bed, so comfy!! We have family members that have rented this spot for over a decade, you can say we like it. :)
This is a cute little suite. It was clean, and well stocked. I loved how close the beach was, and it is a nice beach and easy to get down to. This suite only accommodates one or two people, as there is only a queen bed. The first two nights were relatively quiet. This is a bottom floor suite so you hear anything going on upstairs. The third morning and night was extremely loud and there was a guy there from early morning and then overnight going back and forth between the upstairs units and it sounded like he was moving very heavy furniture and banging on the walls and floors from early in the morning until very late at night. When I inquired about what was going on through Jeff, he said it may be a maintenance guy. Not a great experience and the guy was kind of creepy and stared whenever I saw him. I would guess this isn’t something that happens often though. A few things that could be improved upon and wouldn’t cost a lot of money- the shower head could be replaced. There is absolutely no water pressure at all, so taking a shower is very unpleasant. There is a fan in the closet, but it’s broken. Those are like $15. The metal thing that holds the key is very hard to open and maneuver if you have adult sized fingers. Those aren’t too expensive either. Overall this was a nice place to stay in a good location- close to Seal Rock, which has Ona Beach and Seal Rock beach, plus The Chubby Little Mermaid and Luna Sea Fish House- best fish and chips and chowder. All of the places in town that we ate were absolutely horrible, so I would recommend not eating in Waldport at all. Yachats is not far either and is an awesome little town. The little living room was comfortable and the tv has apps on it, so that was nice. The fridge and freezer works well and the kitchen was clean and bug free.
very clean and well=maintained with excellent beach access.
very reasonably priced. Just what we needed for two people.
The beautiful beach is one minute away, apartment is cute, well appointed kitchen, roomy bath and real nice neighborhood.
