Excellent location! Wonderful view! Spacious for family of seven.Odd smell was the only real downside. Once house was opened up it helped.Loved being able to walk to Nye beach and the waterfront and close beach access.Short drive to surfing!
Biggest negative from the start was the smell. We bought air freshener to help. We loved the view and outside deck which made the trip. Lots of updates needed especially the kitchen. We had problems with the toaster oven and would recommend just getting a toaster which takes up less counter space. Couldnât figure out how to use gas fireplace but googled it and it solved the problem. I would recommend the place just for the view and just bring air freshener and candles to help with the odor. Or even bring your toaster if youâre driving!
I was a little underwhelmed by this listing. Possibly because we ended up not having time to enjoy the hot tub or soak tubs which looked amazing. The home itself is in need of a deep clean. Not as fresh as the pictures looked. And possibly needing a little updating, especially the missing/cracked grout on kitchen counter was gross.The bathrooms were great and the showers were fabulous. All the bed were reported as comfortable. My kids enjoyed the speakers and having a dance party.
This was the 3rd annual trip to Newport,OR for our family. We travel from Washington and Idaho each year to celebrate July 4th at the ocean. This home, by far, is the best we have rented!! The layout of the house has beds at each end so some folks can retire to bed earlier than the rest of the family and the noise does not transmit. This is perfect for the different ages reflected in the group, 8 years to 76 years. All the beds are in top shape, which was important to us after experiences at other homes. The bathtub hot tubs were such a hit! The home is beautiful, clean, well supplied with even 2 washing machines and 1 dryer, 5 bicycles in the garage and 2 BBQs in the garage. We have already reserved this home for next year in 2026!!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and well-appointed property in Newport. It worked out perfectly for hosting both my younger and grown children and their partners along with my husband and I âthere was plenty of space for everyone to relax and take in the gorgeous views from many of the rooms.Next time, Iâll encourage the family to rent the adjacent house as wellâhaving both would make for an even more ideal setup. The neighboring guests were great, and everyone seemed respectful of the house rules and quiet hours. Appreciated the quiet very much!We enjoyed all of the outdoor amenities (except the fire pitânext time!) and loved the easy beach access and excellent location.10/10 would absolutely stay again!
Stayed here on the family vacation. Dragging the west coast of Oregon. The house was everything that was advertised and even more! The dual bathtubs overlooking the beach were really the icing on the cake. We were lucky and had great weather, the beds were comfortable and the house extremely clean and well-appointed. Can't wait to come back!
What a great place. Would recommend it to all. It was a great place for a family gathering. Can't control the weather but on nice days it would be more fun. It was what we needed for our extended family weekend. There was a problem with one of the sinks but the landlord was on top of it. Thanks to Richard for such a nice place.
Came for our siblings and spouses yearly get together and decided to try a new place. The home is beautiful inside and out and everything was clean. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. It is a walk to the beach but not far at all. And being oceanfront was perfect. View was beautiful. Also, the owner is just a message away. Thanks for sharing your home with us. We will definitely be back.
This was our 2nd stay and is the absolute best way to enjoy the beach. The view is spectacular (rain or shine); gorgeous house and the owner is a dream to do business with.
both properties were beautiful or what I could see of our Air B&B. Our B&B was double booked and we were pawned off on the second house that had no hot-tub which was our soul reason for booking 1130 SW Martin st. The owner allowed us to use the hot-tub,made us feel awkward to have to share the hot-tub. on a lighter note the neighbors were pleasant. owner gave us the wrong pin to the house so i had to recall to get the correct pin. the only compensation that he was going to offer us is to wave the cleaning fee to which I haven't seen. The property was beautiful,but the experience was rather lacking.
This house could not be in a more beautiful setting. We were lucky that the weather for January in Oregon was mid-fifties and sunny which just added to the wonderful time we had. Richard was very responsive and easy to work with. The house is very well maintained and well appointed. We had a great time and really appreciate the property that Richard has. Thank you!
Loved our short weekend at this house! Somehow lucked out with the best weather in January. Hot tub was great. The real jewel is the soaking tubs. If you havenât sat in a steamy soaking tub overlooking the ocean at midnight, are you really living? Communication with Rich was excellent. Grateful for your property
The location of this property cannot be beat. It's nice to watch the waves from the sitting rooms and the tubs are a deluxe experience. Convenient walking distance to beach access and Nye beach shops. Furniture and fixtures are slightly dated but everything was in working order, clean, and sufficiently stocked.
Home is beautiful, but wasnât good for our family. I contacted the Host before booking and asked about one of his properties. If it was wheelchair accessible, he directed me to the Martin house to be wheelchair accessible. The wheelchair needs to get in and out of the home easily. Not the case here there are three stairs going into the mudroom and three stairs going in to the front door. No ramp! Yes, the house inside is all one level and accessible.Getting in for my sister was a complete nightmare after we had already booked this location. Not everybody can do things without their wheelchair. Some can, some canât, my sister can not. After getting in and settled. We found that we had to clean the fire pit out before we can use it, the pit was full of construction debris. views are amazing! We enjoyed our time together.
My name is Richard Savicky I Live in Eugene OR. I started Life is a Beach vacation rentals in 2002 I Manage all my own bookings for my homes. And i do all my own maintenance. I was one of the first vacation rentals in the greater Newport area when I started.
We have found that Newport has a small town feel but plenty of things to do, stroll the bayfront, or the beach, go crabbing, hiking, golfing and numerous places to eat.
There is plenty of room in our great room for our family and friends to hang out and visit while viewing the beach and boats coming and going from the historic bayfront.
