Reviews
We really enjoyed this location. Very comfortable bed and enjoyed the deck. So close to everything. Enjoyed walking the beach and watching all the kites. Good restaurants nearby. Definitely will be visiting again.
We stayed in #4:
Plusses: You are a block away from shops, restaurants, mini golf, etc., a short walk from the beach or you can drive and there’s plenty of parking, property is in a safe place, bungalow is clean and smells nice. Great kitchen area with what we needed to heat up leftovers. Loved the convection oven unit. We also loved the
adirondack chairs on the deck. Bed is comfortable and we got good sleep. The property manager is available by text or phone and checks on you often to make sure your stay is going well.
Drawbacks: Ladies, if you need a large amount of space to get ready, it’s not happening here. The bathroom is tiny. If the property put a mirror above the dresser, that would be ideal so that while one person is showering, the other can spread out and get ready there. Only one person fits in the bathroom at a time (think RV bathroom or smaller). It would be nice if the bathroom had more hooks to hang towels on and a shower organizer to hang on the showerhead for necessities. I put my products in the sink and popped my hand out to get each product as needed. For me (I’m not high maintenance), this set up was tricky but doable. I wish they had a smart TV rather than just cable, but we found movies to watch on the cable provided.
Overall, I gave this place five stars because the drawbacks weren’t non-negotiables for me. This was perfect for me and my fiance and we will be back. The plusses were big for me especially walking wherever we wanted to go…love that. It’s also only a short drive to Astoria, Seaside, etc.
No complaints. Basic clean accommodations in a central location. No views and could be noisy given our unit(#1) was right on the road, but we expected that. Nice short walk to the beach. It worked well for the few days we were there.
We just spent 4 terrific days @Unit 4. Very comfortable bed, nice and bright space with close proximity to shops and restaurants and walking distance to the beach. The manager, Kathy, is great. She checked in on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. This is a little gem of a place, very relaxing stay.
We had a fabulous time at this cute hideaway. Bungalow #2 was perfect for us. The inside was quaint and inviting and had the best fireplace that kicked out some heat on the chillier days. The deck off the back was spacious and inviting. It was awesome to see the arch leading out to the beach lit up at night. But hands down Kathy the site manager is the BEST! She was very attentive to our needs and checked in with us every day we were there. Kathy has a great personality and sense of humor. Best hugs all around. I felt like I had known her longer than the three days we were there. Definitely going back!
