    Wonderful and fully relaxing

    • Hawaiian - Queen Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Only improvement I'd like to see is that the balcony connects directly to the room next to it without any barrier so if you're traveling with a pet, they can easily cross over to the next balcony. The front and other side had a plexiglass barrier so I'd recommend putting the same across the shared balcony.

    The Hawaiian Room was spectacular. It has an amazing view of the ocean especially from the bed- waking up to that view is the dream. I loved having a kitchenette- I bought groceries down the street and didn't have to eat out-there are pans, dishes, silverware and basic cooking utensils, no oil- just FYI because I brought stuff not knowing if it would be there.

    The highway noise, but that is to be expected based on location.

    Its location. It’s away from busy tourist areas and right on the ocean.

Peggy was wonderful to share local information and provide wonderful tips about the area. Our room was clean with adequate supplies. The bed was comfortable.

    The shower water pressure was very weak. We didn’t mention this to the staff so it’s possible that it could have been easily fixed.

    The proximity to the beach is amazing! I love that we didn’t have to drive or even walk very far to get to the beach. We also, liked that the beach was not crowded. A few time we were the only people on the beach. The view from our room was awesome. It was wonderful hearing the waves at night as we fell asleep. Peggy (I think she is the manager) was very responsive, helpful, and friendly when I had questions.

    Lovely, one of a kind property with direct views from large balcony to the ocean! Could hear the waves rolling in and the beach below was great for walking. Peggy, the manager, was a pleasure to interact with.

    The Camelot room is bit small and tight to navigate, but it's cozy. No woodstove fires allowed in this unit. However each unit is very unique.

    The location of this property is outstanding! It hangs right above the beach, and the beach is sparsely attended! Incredible sunsets and moonsets right from your balcony! The host even pulled together an impromptu cookout for the Fourth of July, and it was lovely to meet the guests from all over the country. There are many repeat guests, and you could sense a family-like spirit. Peggy, the host, goes above and beyond to keep in touch and be available, making you feel welcomed and well cared for. We saw whales and bald eagles: even a fledgling attempting to fly from the nest! Very romantic.

    Fireplaces didn't work . Could have had more of a divider on the balconies for privacy.

    Everything! We loved it so much we extended our stay which allowed us to stay in two different rooms. Our first room, The Marlyn Monroe room, had a side deck with an open view to the beach and ocean. It had a small sitting area with a comfy couch and small beverage station with plenty of coffee and a fridge as well as dining plates, cups, and utensils. Bed was comfy with a very cozy blanket. All rooms have easy access to the stairs leading down to an amazing beach. Our 2nd room was the Hunters room, which is really a small apartment as it had a king bedroom, a full kitchen with a high top dining table, a living room, and a large deck overlooking the beach. This room had full-on view of the beach and ocean from every room. While Maryln was great, if you are looking for an extended stay, book the king rooms. On top of all this, Peggy and the staff are wonderful hosts. Just north of Newport and south of Depoe, food and activity options were a short drive away. We took out several nights to eat on the balcony to watch the ocean and sunset. Finally, the beach is amazing. I think it is the last quiet beach in America! Highly recommend this place!

    Property has made many improvements over the many years it has been giving travelers a beautiful view of the Newport coast. We stayed here 42 years ago on our 2nd anniversary and returned again to enjoy a nite of reminiscing good memories 👏Peggy was wonderful to share an excellent place for a delicious meal the Ocean Bleu!!
