Cheerful Beach House Atop a Hill

We stayed for a month to escape the heat of Phoenix - mission accomplished. We had a few issues with the home. It is advertised for up to six people. While there are three double beds, there are only four chairs in the dining room and barely enough unmatched dishes and silverware for six people. While both storm doors and all the windows had screens, neither of the sliding glass doors had screens - this prohibits opening up the downstairs to get a cross breeze from the window or storm door. The interior stairs are not as deep as traditional stairs or as the stairs outside - when going up the stairs, your heels will be off the stairs unless you put your feet at a 45 degree angle. There were a lot of cobwebs outside the house. The closets appeared to be locked, so there was no easy place for our clothes. We were given instructions for watering the lawn and the plants on both the back deck and upstairs porch (which we followed) - but there were many plants inside, both succulents and others; I hope we watered them an appropriate amount. Last, the house is accurately advertised as being on a hill. It is a short and easy ride or walk down the hill to Netarts Bay, but it is a relatively steep walk from the Bay back up to the house.

My friends and I had so much fun staying at this house. The balcony and outside area was awesome and the living room hang out space was great for games and other activities. It is only a five minute drive to the beach which is great as well.

My family of five stayed here for a few nights during our road trip through Oregon. The location is quiet and secluded with quick access to the coast and to Tillamook. The home was a little quirky and needs a little updating (old couch and chair with torn fabric, downstairs bathroom with a shower head about five feet above the floor, windows could use coverings for privacy and to try to keep the upstairs a little cooler). But it was clean and all appliances worked. It was a welcome change to the five of us sharing a hotel room together. Despite the things that need updated, we’d be happy to stay here again.

This property easily accommodated 2 couples. It has some nice amenities like large deck, good internet/TV and good size, well equipped kitchen. It is missing some basics for vacationing like no dressers, closet spaces, luggage racks, etc. I believe this property is new to VRBO and will improve as the owner gets feedback
