Had a great cozy week at Retro Retreat by the Bay! The house was quiet, clean, the weather was cold but sunny, I had a great time. The view is stunning, the accomodations are wonderful, so many great things to see and do in the area.
Perfect location, just a short walk to the beach! We really enjoyed looking out the bay windows and enjoying the sea view from the cozy living room on windy days.
Nice little get away for a blustery weekend. Sweet little cabin with just what you need. Well stocked kitchen that includes spices and other items. Totally enjoyed ourselves.
I went for my 30th birthday and it was a blast! It turns out apparently it was the destination to be this month for 30th birthdays, because everyone was having their 30th birthday there! I really enjoyed the space, itâs very cute and quaint. The view is amazing, and the little beach next to it is adorable. Super easy to walk to. They had a bunch of kitchen utensils for us to use, so we didnât have to spend too much money while we were there. Bed super comfortable, bathroom, accessible, and I loved how somehow it was small yet spacious. Could barely hear the downstairs neighbors when we were there. We did hear their TV a little bit, but honestly, they are pretty quiet. Will definitely stay here again!
The Retro Retreat is a nice get-away place with a great view of the bay and the ocean beyond. It was clean, quiet, everything worked and the huge front picture windows are the best. It is within close walking distance of The Schooner restaurant and the beach and a short drive to Oceanside.
This apartment was perfect for the two of us. It was really important for the both of us to be able to work while we were there, so strong reliable internet was a bonus. Everything was supplied for guests, and very thoughtfully. I think the only thing we missed was having a washer and dryer and that was easily worked around. The space is lovely, the bed is excellent and the view can't be beat. We will stay again!
It was perfect. Just the right size. Watched the ocean as much as I wanted. It was very quiet. I will definitely stay there again. The next time I come to town.
The hostess was marvelous and taught me how to use the lock box. It was not the box. It was stupid. It was me for being extremely tired from driving.
This property overlooking the bay is pristine, and although it has obviously been in existence for decades, it is extremely well-preserved, well-stocked, and comfortable. Want to sit and watch the seals and birds in a comfy rocker while drinking your coffee? This is your place. Older/mature teens might appreciate the area, but younger kids or young adults who need a party town or fast food restaurant on every corner, should look to Cape Kiwanda or Tillamook. While both of those are 20 minutes away, NeTarts is slower-paced. This is a great place for walks along the shoreline, an evening meal at Schooners, and relaxing. Frankly, the house is furnished in such a way (personal touches, quality cookware, specific decor---handwritten note by door, old picture in living area), that you feel as if you are visiting Grandma's cottage by the shore. If you are looking to decompress, appreciate all the comforts of home in a beautiful setting, and return to an oasis of rest after daily explorations, this is for you. I appreciate the extra efforts of the realty company and housekeeping to preserve this time capsule property. Thanks, SabrinaT
As described - retro, some things could be updated but it was fine :)
Hosts/mgrs were excellent. Communication from booking to checking out excellent.
Very pretty area and view- after a rain the windows need to be cleaned for a clearer view for sure -but that canât be helped, canât control the weather.
Can hear the downstairs occupants clearly (especially if they have a dog(s) and if they are noisy or donât care if they have someone above them it can get old real fast. Also if they park without taking into account who else is there, that can get irritating.
Everything we needed was available and if not- it was a short drive to a market.
Bunch of games and magazines/books in case of a rainy day.
Fun things to do in a reasonable distance. We lucked out and caught the parade in Tillamook.
Big tv in bedroom which was nice -but I wouldâve settled for a smaller one out in the sitting area.
WiFi was great- no problems connecting all week. Nice to have a landline just in case and also a fire extinguisher handy is also a nice thing. Lock box for key worked perfect.
Loved the sun coming in through the bay window and when it got a little hot we just opened the window and a wonderful breeze came through.

Quaint yet spacious property with unbeatable views! Sarah has been attentive and always ready to help if needed. The property itself came stocked with all the basics that you might need. I only wished this unit had a washer/dryer like the one downstairs, but it was a small drawback that I can dismiss since the rest of my stay there was pleasant. Would definitely come back again!

When loved every minute of our stay. The appartment is lovely. It was perfect in every way. The place was nice and warm when we arrived. It had been stormy when we first arrived but it cleared up just before we had to rush our luggage up stairs. It had all the modern conveinces. We stayed in for most of the time we were there. Did some reading. Played scrabble. And made most of our meals in room. We have recommeded this place to my son and his wife they will be celibrating there anniversary at the end of this month.

We've been coming to the Retro Retreat by the Bay for a few years. We love this spot and the hospitality. It's a cozy place no matter what the weather, and we love that you can walk to Schooners or Seaworthy Coffee. We'll be back!
We will use this property management company again!

Beautiful view. Lots of parking. Kitchen well equipped, bed was comfortable.Quiet. Short walk to beach access.Easy booking process. Rental company responded quickly to my email question about property.Combo lockbox was very difficult to open to retrieve key. A new lockbox or keyless entry would be great.
Itâs was a great stay loved how we could walk to beach and boat launch and to the stores love the big fire pit we made sâmores the last night would come. Ack to stay again morning with coffee in the rocker looking at the water đ„°
Nice place, maintained well and very clean. Obviously a unique decor. Would certainly benefit from a better bed, but otherwise an excellent place to just stay and relax.

We loved our stay at the Retro Retreat! It was perfect for our needs. It is affordable, clean, quiet, has a beautiful view, deer in the back yard almost every afternoon, and the weather was beautiful. In fact, we were sad when it was time to leave. We would love to come back again sometime.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay. The place is very cozy and comfortable. The view is spectacular. We celebrated our 40th anniversary there and thought it was the perfect little hideaway to enjoy that special day. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away and relax.

We spent a full week, and felt right at home. We were a few minutes walk from the beach and a great restaurant/bar called the Schooner. We enjoyed checking out tide pools and picking up dinner on the walk home to enjoy our dinner with our lovely view.Feels remote, but it's only 12 minutes from Tillamook and a stone's throw from Cape Lookout and other great coastal parks and towns.Additionally, the kitchen was well equipped and the host was extremely responsive and eager to help - I broke our French press and they hand delivered a new one lickety split. This was our home base for exploring the coast and enjoying the ocean, and we couldn't have asked for better!
