Beautiful property. Walk from parking to unit is a bit difficult due to incline more than distance, but was warned about this when booking, so it was not unexpected. Views were incredible! Amenities were great too! Walk to pool area and beach did require quite a lot of stairs, but again, we were told about this prior to booking so it was not a problem.
Only here 3 nights but I must have spent at least as many hours on the balcony. Absolutely breathtaking. Only drawback was getting my luggage up there--and it's not more difficult than you would think from the listing, I just got cocky. Meant to have a light weekender bag but instead carried up my 6-week-trip suitcase. (So that is possible)
Ellen was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. I felt the description of the property lacked some key details such as being at the top of the hill without vehicle access (we had 2 kids and a lot of stuff). I admit I should have read the comments because it was mentioned there, so that was my bad. The unit we were in had a beautiful loft with all of the amenities, personal touches, and comfort. The views were perfect. I would recommend this place for kids over age 6 as the loft has only half walls right behind the beds, stairs without a gate, and nice and potentially breakable items.
We had a great stay at Ellen's 'eagles nest' at OtterCrest. The view from the appartment is stunning and the park is beautiful. The OtterCrest location is perfect for trips along the Oregon coast.
Highly recommend!
Ellen's unit at The Inn at Otter Crest was wonderful. The room was clean, fully stocked with necessities and the location was wonderful. the kids swam, played in the activity center and we talked along the tide pools below the property. on top of all of this, Ellen was a fabulous host! Thank you, we will be back!
The stay at Ellen's unit at Otter Rock was great for my family of 4. The room was great for our needs for a few days - we used the fridge and the microwave and took advantage of the available plates, silverware, cups and some of the beach toys for gathering cool rocks. The property is really fun - we took advantage of the pool every day (love that the hot tub is adults only!), played on the beach and in the tidepools, played pingpong, and walked the super short distance to the little "town" of Otter Rock and the stairs to Beverly Beach. Great, easy stay.
First time at this property but won't be the last. Beautiful grounds and views. Many things to do on site and short walks to beach and town of Otter Rock. Also short drives to Newport, Depoe Bay or Lincoln City. We loved our stay.
Beautiful views wonderful heated pool and beach access.
The hike up the hill is long but not difficult. Jst be ready for it we had our own wagon to help.
They had sand toys for the kids which was also awesome.
The coffee was the main complaint the packets were not enough for a pot. But that is minor and didnt ruin the stay.
This was our second time staying here and it was just as nice as the first. The condo has everything you need for a getaway. The views are incredible! The beach is awesome and itâs great thatâs its right on the property. Also, Ellen is a wonderful and very attentive host. Iâm sure weâll be back again.
Beautiful stay here. Itâs very high up with no elevator but so worth it if you are able. The view is spectacular and the area is close to Newport where you can visit the seals and the lighthouse and beautiful grounds. Itâs like living in the forest here, we loved it.
Fantastic. Best views. Ocean breeze. Therapeutic feel. We met our family (who stayed in other condos in Otter Rock) and had the best time. So much to do. Clamming, shelling, surfing, eating...
Pool, ping-pong, and the best white sheets ever in Ellen's condo.
We were amazed at the beautiful landscaping at the Otter Crest condo community! The ocean view was good from the private balcony. The location is wonderful. Close to Depoe Bay for whale watching and you can walk to Devils Punch Bowl from the property at low tide! The halibut sandwich at Mo's Restaurant at the top of Devil's Punch Bowl is great! The condo unit was clean and modern. There is even a gas grill on the grounds for guests to use. Ellen took good care of us and gave us a lot of information about the area. She was readily available to answer our questions.
Ellen (host) was so kind! Greeted us upon arrival and showed us around. A lot of uphill walking and stairs to get to the room, but it was comfy and clean (albeit a little dated & some minor repairs needed). Kitchenette is minimal, but we didnât need to cook. Beautiful view from the balcony! Saw whales & seals, just where we were told they would be!
The Inn grounds are beautifully landscaped, and the quaint Spyglass restaurant has yummy food! Their GF veggie pizza was actually quite impressive, as was my whiskey stone sour drink.
So many beautiful sights within a short walk or drive! It was a quick getaway for us, but just what we needed. Definitely would consider going back!
The owner of the place is unprofessional and not responsible. She didn't send me the code to open the house and she didn't have anyone to receive me. I sent her a message through the website and waited more than half an hour and nothing. When I finally found her phone number, it didn't work and was deactivated. I was very tired from the trip and didn't want to wait any longer. The good thing was that there was a resort right there and I was able to rent another small emergency room.
The condo itself is in good, but not new, condition. Ocean view from deck is exceptional. The grounds landscaping is really nice, with many hydrangeas and rhododendrons blooming in July. The area itself is super beautiful.
Tennis court definitely needs resurfacing, but it worked for us. Serious players wouldnât be happy with the condition.
Pool is great.
The room only has a microwave, so be prepared for that kind of cooking. There is a restaurant nearby, but they are only doing takeout, and apparently take orders by email. Their social media and website are not up to date, so there is a lot of misleading information floating around.
The main thing to know is that walking to and from the pool or parking lotâŠitâs a real hike. Perfect if you want a workout, but itâs not for everyone, and definitely not for folks with physical challenges (unless you are looking for some physical therapy!).
Because this condo is being privately rented out, guests canât get rides on golf carts. Even though Iâm ok with walkingâŠit did feel a little unfortunate when I could have used help transporting luggage (owner does provide cart, but this doesnât help on stairs).
Office will help with getting change/soap to use coin operated machines, which are near office.
It was difficult to get comprehensive information about this condo until we actually arrived and figured things out.
All in all, I would enjoy staying there again sometime. The view from the room cannot be beat.
We loved our time at this condo! The host was so nice, and met us exactly when planned. She also was nice enough to help us carry our luggage up to the condo. We spent our whole stay on the property. There were so many things to do! My favorite part was watching sunset from the balcony. Seeing the whales and seals was a highlight for my son.
The view was incredible! From our high viewpoint we could enjoy the ocean, in a spot where whale watching boats came, as well as lush tree covered hills and birds. Walk to Devils Punchbowl and amazing tide pools, etc. The suite was comfortable and had all that we needed. Ellen is kind and helpful. A great stay.

Hospitality is a gift which I feel I've been given, my hope is you will agree. At this time we have one fully stocked suite for your dream vacation. Privacy is our priority. You'll be up on the highest part of the property. It feels like your in the tree tops. We can't wait to share our home with you. Byeee for now!
