This beach house was a wonderful getaway. It was very stormy so we didnât go to the beach much but there was plenty to keep us cozy and entertained. We were very impressed with the streaming selection for TV. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The switch for the patio lights didnât work but we found an extension cord and got to enjoy them. Would definitely stay here again.
Cozy little cabin on the water with beach access. A little loft nook for whale watching or reading. Close to town for any needs. Peaceful place to getaway.
Had a nice stay at this location. The beach access was great. Private, and quaint. Road noise was loud, and because its a dog friendly location it did have a bit of a dog smell to the house. Other than that, it was good. Was nice to be out of the town proper, but close enough to necessities.
The listing was quite misleading about how the property was pet friendly, the management company was fine, but the house was near a busy highway, did not have an enclosed porch or deck and the steps to the beach were precarious for dogs on the leash. There were inoperable bits, it was not terribly clean, and this overall look of the property came off as run down. The back wall, that faces the ocean had dirty windows and no way to clean them. It was pretty meh and made me feel like I overpaid for the two nights stay.
Perfect layout for the space of the home. Everything you would want to have for a beach trip. The views are spectacular. I canât wait to bring my family again. Absolutely perfect for a family of 4. Kids absolutely loved sleeping in loft.
The home was as advertised. It sits proper above the cliff/steep hill down to the water. The view as spectacular with easy access to the beach. We would rent this home again.
The location of this rental was fantastic! Literally overlooking the ocean with private steps down to the beautiful long, beach.
Many of the features of the home and info on site are outdated. While this was not much of an issue for us, others should be aware that the deck and grounds as well as the interior need some minor fixes and sprucing up. Do you want a no frills place to sleep while you enjoy the gorgeous surroundings? You found it!
We really enjoyed it. It was a good location, close to Newport but not in town. The beachfront was clean and accessible, and the backyard really is the beach. The deck and sunroom were perfect for whale whatching, as was the loft bedroom. We would stay again! Thanks

We had a fantastic stay at Ocean Escape. The view was to-die-for and the house was so cozy during winter-coast-weather. This was everything we were looking for in a place and we'll definitely be back
I am a 70 year old woman. I made it down the "path" to the beach several times, but I feel like I did so at my own risk. There are also baseboard heaters in the bedroom. My husband fell on one that was right near the bed, got stuck and burnt himself severely.
The cottage is really perfect for a couple of people and one beach-loving dog. A few of the past reviews are inaccurate, since the bed is indeed a queen, and there are working baseboard heaters. The view is spectacular, with rock steps down to a beautiful beach that stretches for miles, and the privacy is great, with woods and a state park to the north and a fence blocking the neighbors to the south. Others here have noted that there is traffic noise on HWY 101, but that is the case with many places along the Oregon coast. We had a lovely stay and hope to return.
The location and the view are amazing.
The house is very clean and accurate as listed.
Few suggestions:
1. A window in a bathroom is a must. As now, it is dark and not well ventilated.
2. The enclosed deck area is not useful. It likes a wind tunnel. The glass panels are not so cleaned and fogged up which obscures the ocean view.
3. The refrigerator needs replacement. It is leaking and very noisy.
The location is nice. A few miles from Newport, but away from the hub bub. The beach access is not for those with mobility issues, but doable and the beach is quiet and peaceful. The property is cute, but has a few maintenance and cleaning issues.
The deck needs attention, the screen door on the patio slider is missing, an inside door was off the track (we fixed), the futon cover had a large stain and the worst was the mold along the shower. The towels in the bathroom and kitchen need replacing. One hand towel in the kitchen is not enough. We paid $600+ a night and didnt feel it was worth the price. I will emphasis, the view is terrific.

We stayed for 5 nights and I wish we could have stayed longer. The location could not have been more perfect for our needs. I loved the tiny loft! It was perfect for reading and enjoying the ocean view. Itâs an older property, so itâs a little worn. The bed is comfortable. Make sure to stock up on firewood as that is the only way you are going to warm this cottage. The baseboard heaters are not very useful. We had no issues going down to the beach via the stone steps. I am 67 and my partner is 56. We will definitely be booking this home again.

Not as presented
The morning after arriving the unit was freezing. No heat in the bathroom - none. Management brought us two space heaters , one of which worked and helped with the bathroom. The wall board heaters take a long time to heat an old uninsulated house. This house would never pass inspections if built today. Sliding wooden doors to sleeping spaces are not Code compliant and dangerous in case ofL emergency.
The "easy" beach access is anything but. The last way to the beach after the steep steps is by clambering over the large protective boulders reinforcing the jetty.
The lack of a dishwasher is a real pain because the area for placement of the dish rack is so small. The loft access ladder- yes ladder - no stair is so steep and blocked by a roof support is dangerous and would never meet Code if presented today. Do not go barefooted outside on the rear deck because there are nail heads protruding from therdeck. Finally the bed and pillows were marginal.
My wife says this unit is at best"glamping" and not worth the price.We left a day early
clean place, a bit dated but thats what i like. excellent quiet location above a clean quiet empty beach...loved it. i do feel some better more sturdy patio furniture would really add to the experience.
Had a great time with the family here. It was nice to feel secluded from others and be able to enjoy the beach with just a quick climb down the stairway.
