Here we are exactly 10 years later, we recently stayed overnight for our 29th year Wedding Anniversary at the Heceta Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast and it was an unforgettable experience! Weekend reservations usually have a two-night minimum requirement but was exempt on August 8th given that there was a Bridal Party staying for the entire weekend! We stayed in the Cape Cove Room, which is definitely on the cozier, smaller side, but beautifully appointed with historic charm, antique furniture, and a great view of the Cape Creek Bridge. It does feature a shared bathroom (standing tub only) but was an experience nonetheless! The hospitality was lovely. We did miss the "Wine & Cheese" social on the day of our arrival given that we visited friends in Brookings and took our time driving up the coast. Note to self: Make sure to arrive just in time for check- in so that you do not miss social afternoon which we heard from other guests was a wonderful way to learn about the history of the lightkeeper's cottage. We arrived just past 10pm, the parking was a bit tight for our truck (Tacoma) but the absolute highlight of the evening was taking a flashlight and walking up the path to sit right under the working lighthouse at night--watching the beams sweep across the dark ocean is something we will never forget (between 10:30p - 11:30p); Make sure to bring your own water, dinner or snacks since the inn is isolated, but they do have a great guest kitchen you can use. Unbeknownst to us, we were delighted with a 4-course breakfast the next morning. Every dish was uniquely prepared, family-style, using fresh herbs from their own garden. If you are looking for a unique, peaceful, and historic coastal getaway, we highly recommend booking a stay here!

It is a beautiful place to stay! Appearance - We stayed in the Queen Anne room, which we were told is the most romantic! Our bedroom did not have a bathroom, due to how old the place is. We did know this going in, but it was still worth it because the bathtub was wonderful and we were the only ones using it that night. Taste - The 7 course breakfast was everything you would hope and dream a 7 course breakfast would be and BETTER!! The chef really curated each plate with intention alternating between savory and sweet dishes. I would recommend just staying the night so you get to enjoy the breakfast!

The views are amazing. Being on the coast with access to the beach was awesome! Cons: Needs some serious updating (better lighting, bedding, dishes, furniture). Broken items need replaced or fixed (one couch was sagging so bad in the middle you couldn't even sit on it, oven made a noise when used, chair & table broken & wobbly). Also, they need to hire a new cleaning crew. The location was great, but the inside gave me the feeling that it was all badly used yard sale items. For the price I was expecting more, but I guess the price only pays for the location. (I don't have any pictures of the inside to show, sorry!)

The place had a rustic homelike appeal, great for a romantic getaway. However, the first thing that I noticed upon entering the room was the absence of a bathroom door! The inn-keeper was personable and offered to have our rooms switched with one that came with a door. So not all rooms are created equal - just something to be aware of. The innkeeper also prepared us a nice breakfast taking our dietary restrictions into consideration - emphasizing on local and organic ingredients. There's a common guest area/lounge, equipped with microwave, fridge and brewing station accessible at all hours. There was no TV and no cell phone coverage in the room. But free wi-fi was available. We had a wonderful and comfortable stay, and are likely to visit again.

This is a fantastic property located on the beach 1.5 miles south of Waldport, Oregon. The cabins…read moreare old (they've been around since the 1938) and the interiors are dated (they've been around since.. oh, the 1970s). The reasonable prices reflect the agedness of the property, but not the amenities, the view/location, or the friendly helpfulness of the front desk, so it's quite a value. Here's a write-up from an Oregonian traveller from 2007 giving more background: http://blog.oregonlive.com/terryrichard/2007/07/i_wasnt_going_to_get_stumped_b.html The most popular rooms are #11 and #1. Both are large (900-1000 sq ft) one-bedroom units with perfect views of the ocean. They both have full-sized kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms with wood-burning stoves and cable television. Most people like #11 better because it's closest to the water and has an unrestricted view; we ended up liking #1 better because it has a better laid-out kitchen and is generally more comfortable.

We stayed at The Allred for a little over a week while traveling with our extended family. There…read morewere seven of us, and we stayed in House 134, the four-bedroom, 1.5-bath rental across the street from the hotel. The biggest positive was the location. The ocean views from the living room and the primary bedroom are absolutely beautiful and were one of the highlights of our stay. There were, however, a few things I wish had been disclosed on the website before booking. First, housekeeping is not provided for the rental homes, regardless of the length of your stay. This also means toiletries are not restocked. By the middle of the week, we ended up purchasing our own supplies. This may be standard for some vacation rentals, but it would have been helpful to know ahead of time since it's different from what many guests expect at a hotel. The biggest issue for our family was the layout of the home. There are three to four steps leading down into the primary bedroom, and there is no handrail. My elderly in-laws stayed in that room and had difficulty navigating the stairs. I think this is important information for anyone with mobility concerns. The primary bedroom also does not have an attached bathroom. The half bath is located off the laundry room near the kitchen, on the opposite side of the house, while the full bathroom is in the hallway. For older guests, a few simple safety features like grab bars and a non-slip surface in the bathroom would make a significant difference. I'm not expecting a fully ADA-compliant rental, but some basic accessibility considerations would go a long way. One thing the photos don't really capture is the scale of the furnishings. The home photographs beautifully, and the décor is very stylish, but it felt more like a staged model home than a place designed for a week-long stay. The living room had a very small, low three-person sofa and decorative accent chairs that looked nice but weren't particularly comfortable for relaxing as a larger family. The three smaller bedrooms would also benefit from having dressers or additional storage for guests staying more than a night or two. The kitchen was clean and attractive, but if you plan on cooking most of your meals--as many families do when renting a home--it could use a better selection of cookware. We found the knives, pots, and pans to be fairly limited for preparing meals. Overall, we enjoyed the beautiful views and convenient location, but I think providing more detailed information about the home's layout, amenities, and accessibility would help future guests decide whether it's the right fit for their needs.

While the room we stayed in (Alsea) was large, well lit, and charming, we were without hot water…read morefor the entire stay. When we reached out to Vacasa for help they first asked us to try the breaker box, or relight the water heater but couldn't tell me where either of them were, thereby asking me to wander around and through this motel - peeking in closets and rooms - to find them. When I refused they said they would contact a local person for assistance. No one ever came. No one contacted us. I even reached out to corporate and no one came. No one contacted us. So despite a pretty room and clean linens they get 2 stars because hot water is kind of a necessity in a hotel. Further, they didn't offer a discount for their failure to provide the hot water during our 5 night stay. Other things to know; The images don't show that highway 101 runs between this building and the beach. Nor do they show that the balconies with the rooms are shared and not private. The coffee pot is a Kuerig and they only provide 4 pods. Bring your own. There are two mugs, two metal cups, two glass cups, and a handful of silverware, a microwave, and a mini-fridge. The only place to wash anything is in the bathroom. The view is stunning and you can hear the ocean from your room if you leave the door cracked. I really wish I could have given a better review but the lack of local support for this listing means any problems you have are yours to deal with and frankly, that is not what I am paying for. EDIT: The management company responded after my review and offered a partial refund per day for the lack of the hot water. It was a fair offer and the decent thing to do. So I'm increasing the review to three stars because they did respond and try to make things right. However, I still think it's important for guests to know there isn't anyone local to manage these issues quickly if they arise.

First thing is the smell then the obvious visuals come into focus. Floors have NEVER been refurbished in over 4 years that I can tell the floors looked new. "DOG FRIENDLY" to me means go someplace else. Rug at front door chewed, couch must be the dog-bed because it STUNK! Walls are hideous. Water marks running above the sliding glass doors, bathroom water damage above/behind the toilet and behind the sink faucet. Wall scuffs from rocking chair and stupid living room end tables substituting for bedside tables (covered w/ white dog fur...as well as under the bed w/ debris not well vacuumed before we arrived). CAKED dust coming from the ac/heat unit & bathroom ceiling fan. Old room heaters (bathroom and main room) are rusty and really unappealing. Bed- too soft!!! No bed skirt and the sheets were stained w/ brown marks (I was pretty disgusted and wished I had my silk sleeping bag), ugly old bed linens....please pretend like your rentals are an investment that people invest in (like me) because at over 150 a night (OFF SEASON) people will expect very nice accommodations...not just a lovely view and convenient location in town. Coffee tables are not side tables- get a decent size table. TV wands are not properly marked and the mute button doesn't work! CLEAN them....they were really nasty dirty. Move the couch to the opposite side of the room, move the tv screen to the opposite wall so that you can actually get a better view from bed if one is wanting to watch before bed. The Kerig coffee machine....GROSS! Who uses those? Not us. All we wanted was a hot pot at the very least to brew QUALITY coffee without the dangers of mold in the coffee maker which Kerigs are INFAMOUS for harboring! We will not use them. This was my birthday weekend. I'm super disappointed we spent it in such a gross place!!! I will MAKE SURE our next visit will be better investigated before making a overnight reservation someplace.
