This house was better than i could have imagined! I could nearly throw a rock from the deck into the water!
The house isn’t new, but it has been upgraded with new paint, floors and furniture. Nothing showed signs of wear, the bed as super comfy, and there were more beautiful white towels ,than we could use. The kitchen was spotless and well stocked.
We spent a relaxing weekend, watching the ocean and doing puzzles.
You can’t go wrong with this place.

Perfect get away
Patricia T. T.
We stayed for 5 nights and I wish we could have stayed longer. The location could not have been more perfect for our needs. I loved the tiny loft! It was perfect for reading and enjoying the ocean view. It’s an older property, so it’s a little worn. The bed is comfortable. Make sure to stock up on firewood as that is the only way you are going to warm this cottage. The baseboard heaters are not very useful. We had no issues going down to the beach via the stone steps. I am 67 and my partner is 56. We will definitely be booking this home again.

Great 8 night stay @ Ocean Escape ! First time stay. Very comfy for a couple and our dog. Clean, very nice functional Roku TV, bathroom roomy, bedroom little small (queen bed left little space, yet nice linens), kitchen fully equiped (although no dishwasher), private location with lots of room north next to park, rock stairs down to beach dangerous (recommend driving to Lost Creek - only 5 minutes north). Very comfy furniture. FABULOUS VIEW !!! Meredith is professional and responsive, also fair on cleaning and pet fee. Love the South Beach are, being close to Newport, Waldport & Yachats, yet private. 101 is right behind house, so little noisy, yet tolerable. Loved this place, as "seasoned" mid Oregon coast vaca renters.

I wanted to rate this stay low simply so Noone else would discover this gem.. My husband and I stayed here for 3 days and then another place for 3 days...we ended comparing everything at the second place because this stay was so perfect. We had seclusion, the easy and close access to the beach, all comfort items needed, EVERYTHING at this stay was perfection for us. From the fireplace to the game cupboard, the spices and oils that were stocked in the kitchen, we were comfortable and happy. Thank you!!!! We will be back again and again.

We have been staying at Ocean Escape for 20 years and we love it. My husband gets down to the beach and flies his kites at low tide. It's wonderful to hear the ocean every day. The house is small but ok for just the two of us. The new tv in the bedroom is great. We had a wonderful vacation and will be visiting again.

Great beach getaway.
Aaron B.
This provided the perfect family getaway for my family of four. The first positive is the ample parking. You pull in to a nice open gravel parking area. The unit was clean and stocked with everything you could need. My kids (7 and 9) loved the loft bed and window facing the ocean. I drank coffee in the mornings on the deck out front, while listening to the waves. The private path down the cliff to the beach is safe and easy to navigate. We loved just being able to walk out the door and head down to the beach. We will be back.

Perfect location and wonderful view
Claire A.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay with our two dogs. The house is the last house with no neighbor to one side. The private stone steps down to the beach is wide and solid, much better than the narrow and steep wooden staircase I see around the nearby houses. This place offers a quiet and center view to the waves. We had a very nice and relaxing stay.
02/24/2020
Perfect for a couple or small group.
Amy B.
We loved our stay here! It’s important for us to bring our fur kids and having private access to the beach was a huge perk. The house itself is a little on the dated side but we really appreciated the key features of hardwood floors, private beach access, and remote location! I recommend this for anyone looking for a low key place to stay with beach access!

Beach cottage

We had a great weekend just relaxing and walking on the beach, the cottage overlooks the ocean and it’s a very short walk down to the beach. I would stay here again.

a special place
Robert Potter
We have stayed at Ocean Escape 6 times over the past 10 years and each visit was comfortable and relaxing. We especially appreciate the improvements including the demolition of the decrepit carport, the rip rap steps to the beach, the reinforcement of the decking on the south side and (finally) the clean windows on the patio. The house is clearly one of the oldest on that stretch of the beach frontage but still retains uniquely rustic charm. Because of its proximity to Newport and other appealing sites we will definitely return again. Meredith Lodging has added a sense of modern class to the whole renting experience. Even the housekeeping is a step above past accommodation. Don't let the price point discourage you. This spot is a gem in the rough!

Darren Brand
We had the most wonderful time at Ocean Escape. We wish we could have stayed longer. I would suggest you tell guests to bring firewood for the wood stove. We had to go to the store to buy some. Other than that, the house totally lived up to our expectations and then some. The walk down to the beach is the icing on the cake. I will recommend you to all of my friends.

Beautiful view--right in the middle of wonderful things to do
mar c.
This property is perfect if you are interested in sitting and watching the ocean, walking on the beach, or a base for visiting things up and down the coast. It is just as described in the listing...there were no surprises. We had 3 adults and the young adult stayed in the loft and loved sleeping to the music of the waves. It is a narrow climb so the loft wouldn't work for someone over 50-60 and up unless they were quite agile. With that said, the pictures showed that so we were not surprised. This issue was mentioned by another reviewer who said he hit his head climbing up but again that was an obvious point to be cautious and our young adult had no problems. The area is rich with things to do but because the house is the last before the forest it quiet and we only occasionally saw people on the beach. Ben from the property managers came out to help with the TV and he was awesome and he is a veritible encyclopedia of information and it was because of his description of places to visit that we went to Cape Perpetua! Worth the short drive! I would just have liked a washer-dryer---again though, that was no surprise! It is not fancy but cute and very convenient! Would rent again from this company!

marilynn covert
We had a great stay here. Loved the location and the closeness to the beach. While the steps may be a bit much for older folks, 1 min before the house is a park that has a very easy walking ramp to the beach. We thought the house may be a bit small for 3 adults but it wasn't and with 2 tv's/cable everyone could watch pretty much what they wanted...sports and DIY! Internet worked great on all cell phones...different brands & carriers. Loved the deck views from the ocean and the loft adult loved having the small windows open to hear the waves. Great service from the property managers and Ben was out quickly for a call for service. He was a great resource for the area. We didnt build a fire in the stand-a-lone fire box but it was working and would have easily warmed up the house. It was a great house for our needs (nothing fancy) and the location was perfect!

We absolutely loved our stay at Ocean Escape! It is private, quaint, well stocked and just the absolute perfect place and we definitely cannot wait to return. We saw gray whales, sea lions, seals and were in awe every day by the ocean waves. The beach is fantastic and for the most part, private. The Oregon coast is a gem and we are so thankful we went out of our comfort zone and took the leap to try something new. Thank you for a wonderful place.

Cute little beach house
Hannah W.
This was the perfect place for my mom and I to rent. It’s a cute little cabin close to town, and right on the beach. We go to the coast every summer and loved staying here. The rock stairs down the the beach were a little difficult to traverse, but we still appreciated having private access to the beach. We brought the dogs who had a great time too. The only thing we could think of changing would be to add some comfy deck furniture since it’s where we spent the majority of our time - who could blame us with that view! Good thing I thought ahead and brought camping chairs just in case. All in all, it’s a great little place to stay. We’re planning on renting again next year if we can!

We've been to the Oregon coast many times, but this is our first stay at this house. We loved how close it was to Newport, but also far enough away to enjoy the serenity of the ocean. It has incredible beach access and we loved the 2 decks, one covered in case of bad weather. Thank you so much!

Beautiful and Amazing!
This is a perfect vacation rental. The beach is beautiful and almost deserted. There were never more than a handful of people within sight, and often there were none. We saw seals and whales from the deck, much closer and more impressive that we could have imagined.
The house and furnishings were very comfortable for us, two adults and a dog. The water pressure is good, and the shower gets nice and hot. The property is not flashy and does not have lots of frills. There is no dishwasher or washer/dryer, but these are not hardships.
This is a perfect place to unwind and just let yourself feel completely engaged with the ocean. A wonderful ocean escape!

Jennifer thank you for your review of Ocean Escape. We are happy to hear that you had a wonderful trip! Having the beach all to yourself can make the trip that much better! Come visit the coast again soon!

WOW, what a magnificent property. VIEWS views and more views. This was one great stop while traveling cross country, from New Jersey. This place has a 50 foot rock cliff to the beach.

Bettina S.
We stayed 10 nights at Ocean Escape and we loved it! The views are fantastic, the beach is great for beachcombing and long walks. The rock staircase is truly an engineering feat and blends in wonderfully. We saw several people walking by that were remarking about it. Some of the steps are pretty high, so it is a workout if you do it several times a day like we did. We really liked having the closed in patio in addition to the open patio with the benches to watch the tides come in and out and the boats go by. We also saw whales! Bring your binoculars, or you can use the telescope they provide. The house is well equipped and clean. The bed was very comfortable. We will be back!
