It was a good time
It was a good time, everything were perfect ! I would only say whoever washed the bedding it was like they left in washer too long! Pillows smelt weird! But besides that if your a couple looking for a good place to stay for quiet time! This is your spot!

Mesmerizing view, comfortable and relaxing
My partner and I were traveling through Oregon and booked the Whale. We were more than blown away with the view and the relaxing atmosphere of the property. Every convenience has been thought of and the outdoor shower/hot tub was an incredible bonus! This was one of those places that you want to come back to (we will!) and stay longer.

Quirky and comfortable
Comfortable bed, unobstructed view of the ocean, very small bathroom (airstream size) but roomy outside shower. Hot tub was clean and hot.

Great stay on Oregon Coast
Very cozy and comfortable stay on the coast… extremely great experience for price! Perfect for two people! Sunset and hot tub combination was great. As advertised but worth noting that the beach access is about a 10 minute walk down the road and not from the property itself, but you still have amazing views! Highly recommend.

Incredible spot!
Wife and I went to celebrate an anniversary looking for a quiet spot to decompress. We were not disappointed! Though it’s quite a ways out of the way from major centres (part of the appeal when we booked), this place was awesome! The converted Airstream was really cool, the bed was very comfortable, our own deck with a hot tub overlooking the ocean views, sunsets and stars was incredible! Top shelf and we’ll definitely be back!
Lovely accommodation with an outstanding ocean view. Very clean, well equipped, comfortable place to spend a relaxing getaway.
We will be back. Excited to see the tiny house unit when it’s finished.

Wonderful
Amazing property. It’s not in my best interest to leave a good review as I want this place to stay secret and available for me.
Property was beautiful, private, clean, and peaceful. The hot water in outdoor shower seemed endless. Hot tub was clean and hot. We will be visiting again… and again hopefully! The view from the airstream was amazing. Nice place to forget the world and relax.

My wife and I loved it. The ocean view. The functionality/layout. The location with the hot tub. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening drinks taking in the view. Will definitely hope to return in the future.

Fun
Loved the accommodations (my wife wants to live in a tiny home). Great views and very peaceful, private and relaxing. Loved waking up and using the outdoor shower and the hot tub while viewing the ocean and drinking coffee and reading. Great deck and gas fireplace. Nesika Beach access just up the road, but very nice and not crowded.

Breathtaking, cute, cozy!
My girlfriend and I had very high hopes for this place, but it really exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt special and quite lucky... the owners are super welcoming while also allowing for privacy, and the views are stunning. Hot tub is a fantastic bonus. Just loved this spot and will definitely return.

Super relaxing, Very charming
Overall, excellent and peaceful stay. Can't beat the view and sound of the ocean. Beautiful quiet towns with good local restaurants and great beaches. Less than an hour away from the Redwood national forest. Highly recommend for a quiet couples getaway!
Beautiful unique experience in this place, clean and well decorated. Private and cozy, just perfect for 2 people to relax and enjoy the view from the porch with a little fire pit on... love love ❤️
