Lincoln City, Oregon
Sea Gypsy No. 105 is a premium ground-floor condo we call "Reef Witherspoon." It has a relaxed, casual, vibe that invites you to hang out and enjoy the surf just beyond your sliding-glass door. It sleeps four with a queen bed and pullout queen sofa and two full bathrooms. A well-equipped kitchen, abundant cookware, utensils, gadgets, silverware, glasses and dinnerware make meal preparing a pleasure.
The unit changed ownership in November 2019. The owners added new furnishings; including new sofa, ocean view recliner, new table and chairs, new bed and mattress, new storage, and new bedside tables and lamps with USB charging ports.
The bedroom provides room for personal options; adequate floor space for a pack-and-play if you are traveling with tiny humans; room to negotiate the space if you are mobility challenged and rely on walking aids.
The unit is ideally suited for anyone who is mobility challenged. There are no steps into this ground floor condo. The en-suite bath has a hand held shower head, disability assist grab bars, and a shower chair is conveniently located in the unit. The condo is located adjacent to a handicapped parking space. Additionally, direct beach access, 5 shallow stairs, is only about 40 feet from your door.
Enjoy complimentary beach chairs on the grassy patio, where you can watch your children play in the sand, enjoy a glass of wine, and views of kites, seabirds and the bobbing heads of harbor seals in the shallow waves beyond. Walk the beach 10 minutes to the north and enjoy the natural tide pools. Walk south and wade in the D River, the shortest river in the world.
Take a relaxing dip in our indoor heated saltwater pool or sweat off some pounds in our dry sauna. Staying for an extended time We got you covered.

If you are looking for a unique beach excursion for you and your family, look no further because "Reef Witherspoon" will give you the exact experience you are searching for.
We had the best time! If was perfect. It was clean, comfortable and the best view. Our time just went to fast.
Having a week of solitude, gorgeous views, comfortable well stocked kitchen and thoughtful décor with functionality for a great stay made it one of my best vacations. Not to mention I felt safe there. If I could live there I would! Groceries not to far away, a casino a couple miles away, walking on the beach...right out your door. A seagull who did not get the memo that we are not going to feed him/her came to my window everyday and sometimes multiple times a day. A welcoming friend. My stay included some acclimate weather for the area. A cold front with a good amount of snow came in and..oh bummer caused me to stay another night. I was so fortunate that the condo had that extra day available. It was so easy to work out with the front desk. I like that the establishment and the owners of the condos have a partnership that makes sure the guests can be taken care of during their stay. The booklet that the owner has for the guests to get to know the condo is priceless. It was well done and easy to read/understand. Maybe one complaint that I'm not sure you can fix...is the fishy smell in the freezer. I bought some baking soda to help and it did! If there was anything that I would recommend is that when it snows again with frigid temps that won't melt the snow...shovel/plow the driveway. The day before and the day I left was a challenge to negotiate the ice in between the cars. Other than that...I had a great time. I hope to come back when it's crab season!! Cheers!
Perfect spot to stay with elderly parent who uses a walker. Easy beach access. Will stay here again.
This was the perfect place for our stay! We were only in town for 24 hours, so having the beach front view and close walk to Kylo's made it all worth it. They give a warning about being able to hear others walking around, which was true, but wasn't bothersome. Would definitely stay here again!
Room 105 is a very nice room. It has everything you'll need for your stay. Walking distance to Kyllos. You can walk to the Casino via the beach or take a short drive.
Please replace the carpet with hardwood floors. Stains were really bad. I have pictures from when we 1st got there. Also the sliding screen door. Also replace. Please update the sponge for the kitchen. With no dishwasher and having to do dishes by hand,that sponge was done for after the 1st day. And some extra kitchen towels would be a plus. Also our living room TV did not work the entire visit. Buffered non stop. More non tv then actual tv. I am not one to complain, but I wasnt as happy in this unit as others I have stayed in. And last, the bed was incredibly hard, but some people love that. We just did not.
Pros: - close to the ocean - affordable - great space - perfect for a family - easy check in/out - friendly and attentive front desk staff - large comfy bed - extension cord in living room Cons: -was FILTHY, surface areas were fine, but whenever we adjusted something, it was sticky on the sides or underneath (like lifting the coffee table or bar stools) -furniture was horrid: the cabinet under the TV smelled STRONGLY of stale smoke, and this held blankets for the pull out - we had to share a bed instead one of the half round brown chairs had a broken leg couch was hard and extremely uncomfortable table chairs were flimsy -kitchen no cleaning products except dollar store sponge and soap pans were broken and the skillet was unusable - everything burned, the handle was broken, nothing to scour it with -the main bathroom smelled of urine -absolutely no cleaning products!!! how can we keep everything clean without them? -ceiling light in the bedroom was dimmable but wouldn't get brighter again, and fan hardly moved air (yes we found switches on wall) -carpets stained -couldn't have sliding glass door open (to hear ocean) in a secure way (with everyone walking by), screen door ripped by handle, stick too long to block it open a few inches Ideas: -new furniture, all the furniture in the living and dining room was unwelcoming and hard -replace ceiling fan in bedroom -supply limited cleaning supplies (broom, lysol, scouring pads) -implement a deep cleaning schedule -splurge a tiny bit more on the pans - walmart/goodwill not dollar tree -get a slightly shorter stick for sliding glass door ****to the property owner - the fence in the back is !PRECISELY EYE LEVEL!**** When you sit at the table, couch, or bench outside, the fence is exactly at the horizon line. It's super annoying when you're trying to just watch the waves because you can't. It would be amazing if it were about a foot shorter. All in all, I wouldn't choose to stay in room 105 again unless it was the only way I could go on vacation. I will attempt a single stay in another room on a higher floor (it didn't feel safe with everyone walking by with the door open, and the fence was at an awful height). If that room is no more clean or comfy, I will not return.
We had a wonderful stay at Reef Witherspoon. When we arrived, the room was ready, clean, and welcoming. The room was well-equipped with comfortable furniture and kitchen appliances and utensils. The communications we received from Sea Gypsy rentals was timely and thorough. Staff was friendly and competent. I would definitely stay here again and will recommend this place to friends and family.
We loved our stay at the Sea Gypsy. We are usually in #107, but it was booked. Our condo was clean and inviting. The bed was especially comfortable. Just a few things to be aware of…Garbage disposal didn't work, the stock of spices in the kitchen was very low, and the fan light in the bedroom didn't work. The nightlight didn't work, but housekeeping took care of that. We love the location and always look forward to visiting. We believe it has the best views in Lincoln City.
The room was clean and had amazing views of the beach and ocean. Beach access was just a few steps away and easy to use. I would stay here again.
If you enjoy a view, love to hear the sound of the roaring waves, and need a -lace with few or no stairs, you will love The Reef Witherspoon. That is until it's time to go to bed. The king in the Master was fine, but the pull out coach in the living room was NOT. There were no sheets for it and only a twin size blanket. It was very hard and uncomfortable. I can't imagine how 2 people could sleep on it. I hope it is replaced soon.
