Charming dog friendly historical home with gorgeous ocean views

Our stay at Berni's Castle exceeded our expectations. Excellent communication with the host before, during, and after our stay. The unit we stayed in was inviting and very clean. The host had thought of everything. The kitchen had everything needed to cook and all of the tools were organized and easy to find. The hot tub had a great view and was very relaxing. Berni's Castle was the perfect location for our ladies R&R weekend.

The views and the location and space itself were all excellent. The property mgt and owner were both very responsive on any questions we had before and during our stay.

Family/dog friendly with a great view. Consider taking with you...TP, food wrap and blankets/pillows. No extras were available during our stay. Upstairs occupants can be noisy. We did notify mgmt about a broken heater which was not resolved during our stay. Other than that, our experience was positive. We'd sstay here again.

Went for a short weekend stay with spouse and brother/SIL. Had never been to this part of the OR coast before. Gorgeous and loads of beach space nearby. This space has a good layout with opposing bedrooms/bathrooms and lots of central group space. The patio and view are amazing. Appliances work very well, and I can imagine it would be great for kids also. Things to consider: 1) Bring food, drink and snacks! This area has only 2-3 restaurants with varying hours, and a couple are closed on Sunday. Very limited options there and only one store with any groceries which is in Netarts. If you want to be able to relax and not have to drive constantly, bring in your own stuff. 2) You’re relatively close to the beach, but this neighborhood is on the side of a pretty steep hill. If anyone in your party isn’t in decent shape or has bad knees/hips, etc…you may end up needing your vehicle to go back and forth. 3) There are three parking spots out front, but they are relatively shallow. If you’re driving a truck or something longer than a sedan, be prepared to park in the spots downstairs from the house. They are plenty big, but be prepared for a sturdy stair climb if you park down there. Definitely agree with the owner’s suggestion of unloading stuff first, then move your vehicle down to lower parking. 4) Check the grill before you cook. Not saying it doesn’t work…we decided not to chance it since the burner assembly was so rusted. That is nearly always the case.

House was clean and well outfitted. We were a little surprised to have two other units attached but spot felt private and spacious. We would defiantly rent again.

First, the view is fabulous. Kitchen well appointed. Positive comments end there. Several pieces of furniture are stained or broken. The steps to unit are covered with deed leaves and dirt and are a safety concern.. Windows need cleaning. Bedding old. The stove and dishwasher don't function properly. Due to the price I expected better.

Three women from three generations enjoyed the incredible view. Very comfortable and we love Oceanside and the area.

When we turned down the bed in the evening there was a LOT of body hair in the sheets! Disgusting. We had to strip and wash the bed coverings. Also discovered on the sheets were a few ants. I did not think too much about it at that time. However, the next morning I was greeted w/ several different ant trails streaming across the kitchen counters. I went to the store and bought traps, but they did nothing to curb the infestation. All food (ie chips, ect) had to be kept in the fridge the entire visit. Really a pain. Food prep was not fun having to use counters w/ ants. My daughter who stayed in a different room woke up to a few ants crawling on her. Not pleasant. The home is in an excellent location and has a beautiful view. We enjoyed the outdoor deck and the games that were stocked in the home.

We had a wonderful time!

We had such a great time at Bernies Oceanside rental. Nice and spacious, clean and the view was five stars!! One thing I did wish I knew was that this a triplex rental- it your own house rental. There are three units - one above you and one to the left. So privacy wasn’t the best in that when you’re out on the deck there might be others out on their deck above you. The listing could be clearer on that especially for the price you pay. That and we ran out of garbage bags and tried to call vacasa to tell them, however was on hold for over a half hour and gave up. So remember to pack extra garbage bags. Other than those two small hiccups this house was WONDERFUL and I’d totally come here again! My family loved every minute. So t forget to drive up the highway a mile and a half to see Short Beach- that was so magical!
