Quaint oceanfront hideaway with open layout fireplace central AC and gas grill

The cottage was perfectly located and very clean. We could see the ocean and storms easily. However, the sleeping was difficult as each of the small bedrooms had a queen bed that touched two walls, making it impossible to use restroom without crawling over the other person and waking them up, so we slept separately. Kitchen supplies were sparse - no dish drainer for dishes after washing them, and only two towels, etc. Ran out of propane mid-BBQ. TV was complicated. Though it was as cute as could be, it didn't function well. Bottom line, form and function make a nice experience, and this cottage is mostly form.

Great views from the front window and has really close beach access. The stairs leading down to the beach are pretty steep and uneven but should be fine for most people. The chairs out front are great for getting some sun. The cottage is cute but doesn’t look like it has been professionally cleaned in a long time and some things need to be replaced. The gray chair in the living room had a noticeable stain and it was clear the cushion was upside down. When I went to flip the cushion over there was an even larger stain on the other side. One of the decorative pillows on a bed also had a very noticeable stain. The sheets and extra comforter looked like they need to be replaced pretty soon. The bathroom is one of the main reasons I wouldn’t rent this place again. It’s a jack and Jill bathroom which I expected, but the doors are sliding barn doors and there were a few times when we thought they were fully closed but other people could see in. You can hear EVERYTHING from anywhere inside the house. The shower is pretty short a narrow (I’m 5’7 and barely fit under the water) and has yellowing in a few spots. The shower head does come off so taller people can easily use it.

Cute little place right on the bay. The views are terrific, and so relaxing to be able to hear the ocean at night. It was really fun to walk down to the beach in the mornings and watch the clammers and crabbers. The house had everything we needed for meal prep. They've made good use of the limited space. Note that it's a jack and jill bathroom, just use caution not to lock each other out :) There's a covenience store within walking distance, and Cape Meares Lighthouse, Cape Lookout, Oceanside Beach, Jacobsen Sea Salt, and Tillamook Creamery are a short drive.

Loved the house, just a short walk down to the beach. Thanks!
