We’ve done many coast rentals, but this was hands down the best.
Location: This is one house away from the beach access. The kids went barefoot across gravel slowly because it was so close. Beach access had big rock steps descending the dune stabilization rocks—most of neskowin is like this. The beach waves were a little intimidating at the house with a large riptide current warning, especially at high tide. Walking half a mile south will land you closer to proposal rock, with a kid friendly stream to play in.
House details: This house had ample space, lots of kids toys, books, sand toys, wii, garage full of more toys, ping pong table, arcade basketball hoop, skimboard, and a few folding chairs.
The most surprising part was how many extra beds this place has. The big credenzas in living room and den? Those are folding beds with super comfortable mattresses! There are trundle beds under the bunks! I counted a total capacity of 16, but bathrooms will be super tight.
For noise: the first floor sound doesn’t really carry up to second floor, but from second to third, there’s no door. The top floor has beautiful views of the ocean and the waves can drown out some noises. The master bedroom is on second floor and can hear the dining room/living room noise
Kitchen: had nice dishes, spices, coffee grinder. The owners put thought into outfitting the place elegantly and didn’t fill with cheap junky stuff.
Management: they helped address over full garbage and were very clear on early checkin (none) or late checkout (extra fee). I even got an offer a week prior to extend the stay by one day for a discount since it was available. Instead of a guest information book there’s a tablet, which we didn’t really use.
Hope this is useful. Have a great time!
