Spyglass Inn

The weather on the Oregon coast this January wasn't the best and it rained almost everyday so we were all very glad to have made it inside after arriving at the Looking Glass Inn. The property is very stylish, comfortable, and cozy. All the appliances worked great. The best part was the beautiful ocean view with the fine sandy beach essentially right underneath our feet! The property manager was very friendly and helpful. Checking in and out was easy and made even simpler using their phone app. If I had to come up with one critique, it would be that the lights in the kitchen were too dark for me. Still, I can't give any less than five stars. Thanks for having us!

If you are looking for a great view of the ocean it does not get any better than this. We have stayed here twice and love it. The home is clean, well appointed, and tastefully furnished and decorated. Really happy with the communication from Meredith lodging, both friendly and helpful. Really pleased with our stay on both visits.

Very positive experience, our rental meet all our needs, easy access to beach, close to all activities, clean and neat, and easy instructions to meet rental requirements. We had a great time with excellent accommodations.

Great location. Property was furnished with everything we needed and then some. Hot tub is 2 people max. Nice to have a garage for the car plus spots for 2 other cars outside. Will be staying here again.

Home was very beautiful. Stocked very well in the kitchen and bathrooms. Wouldn't change a thing

Convenient layout for a mixed group of families. Amazing view and well stocked home

This place is so beautiful and the view is spectacular! I loved the easy access to the beach. I could sit out on the deck for hours! Wish I could have stayed longer but will be back!

Great stay at a beautiful place!

Had a great time. The house was wonderful.

Great house for the family with a fantastic view of the ocean. Considering it is a pet friendly house with a lot of traffic, it was in very good shape. Just looking at the booking calendar for this place and the ratings gives you a good idea how popular it is. We will be back. 🙂

Wow, what a perfect beach house! We booked somewhat last minute for the New Year weekend and once we arrived, we were surprised it was still available.

Location is great! Nestled in a private, safe, and family friendly neighborhood. The beach is steps from house. The view from the living room was unreal! We lucked out with with sunny coastal weather and some of the most beautiful sunsets.

The house itself was comfortable, clean, and pretty well stocked with kitchen/house hold items.

We had 7 adults (3couples) and 2 dogs. We felt there was adequate space. Each couple had a room and the single person used the pullout couch.

Awesome spot for dogs, because beach is so close. Also great to walk around neighborhood. There is a grassy park area we took the pups to when the tide was too high to go to the beach.

We had a wonderful stay! Great communication with management and customer service, easy & friendly house instructions, and house was as described. Overall I would highly recommend this place! We will definitely rent Looking Glass Inn again!

My husband and I stayed at Looking Glass again this year and as expected had a wonderful time. The house is in a great area and the views of the ocean are spectacular.

Property was in excellent location and was clean and well maintained. We did encounter a couple of minor issues but they were dealt with quickly and professionally by the management staff.

This house had everything we were looking for. Quiet surroundings, beach access mere steps away, beautiful home and amenities.

This was a very nice home. Not as well stocked with kitchen basics, but everything else was great. The team at Meredith Lodging was very responsive to our needs. Cant beat the location and view. Outstanding!

We had a wonderful time. The home was well appointed and clean. The hot tub is only for two which was the only downside. This was a perfect getaway.

The place is just heaven. We relaxed on the beach, watched the fog roll in, and cooked lovely dinners. Everything we needed was there!

First evening there, we sat on the deck while whales swam by in the late afternoon sun. This could not have been more perfect.

You couldn't go wrong with any house with the gorgeous weather this week! Add to it the great location, modernized home, great family time, and in general wonderful vacation! Almost perfection!

This place is tip knotch! From entering off the highway into the neighborhood to the home itself, we were at home from the beginning. Everything was great and we were very happy there. We enjoyed that it was between cities so not a lot of stores,people, and traffic. We would start again with our 3 children. Hopefully It stays a secret for tourists who don't like tourists if you know what I mean! No fanny packs needed here....

Our family was very happy with our experience at the Looking Class Inn. The house was very well maintained with interior decor, space and activities for outdoors including bikes, a grill and a hot tub. The kitchen was well organized with plenty of dishes and cookware to make meals and enjoy breakfast as a family at the large table overlooking the beach. We loved having a garage to park in and deck furniture to enjoy the sunset on. When the hot tub key was not on the property it was promptly brought to us by a friendly maintenance person from the office. Our biggest complaint is that we knew nothing about the beach access stair case that was damaged and un-usable. With the house being set up on the rocks, a beach access staircase with our 2 year old was one of the reasons we booked this more expensive property but we couldn't use it. No one emailed us or informed us of the fact that we would have to walk our toddler over half a mile to get to the next access point. The damage to the stairs happened in March, our stay was in June and our reservations were made in the fall. Had we known this we would have changed our reservation to another time when the stairs were fixed (July 4th was listed as the date on another rental website). We are hoping to stay here again and with the trouble and lack of transparency of the beach access would like a discount on our next stay.

The leather couch and love seat were very uncomfortable. The cushions kept sliding off. There are two hot tubs above each other and when we sat down in the one above the water over spilled onto the people below. It made for a very awkward experience.

We have rented many places at the coast and this by far was the best ever. We will try to rent this one again. Right on the ocean with a great view. Hardwood floors makes it very pet friendly. Extremely nice kitchen with new appliances, granite countertops and well stocked on utensils. Even though we pay the cleaning fee we try to clean up any loose pet hair from our small dog as we try to leave it the way we found it. But the vacuum cleaner didn't work and the central vac was unplugged I assume for a reason. So I swept as best that I could. The only negative thing I could think of about this place is a broken vacuum cleaner. Not a biggie when you have had rentals with no heat or no working stove or only 2 forks and 1 knife or no hot water and all with very uncomfortable beds. I slept like a baby here. Well there is one recommendation. The family/great room TV remotes (4 of them) could use an instructional pamphlet on usage or maybe some had bad/dead batteries. Once again no big deal. I have shown video of this place and it's wonderful views of the ocean to many people who now want to rent this location.

I would not hesitate to book this home again. Our experience was wonderful from start to finish. Booking it through Meredith Lodging was simple and the staff was very nice and helpful. The house had everything we needed to make our stay fun and enjoyable and its in a great location.

This was one of the best equipped homes with quality throughout. It was also the cleanest one we have stayed in this year.

Wonderful house right on the sea. Excellent equipment levels and very good quality - everything was clean and well presented on arrival.
Very good location for beaches and surrounding towns and the community of Bella Beach was charming.
Loved the ping pong table in the garage - perfect for a rainy afternoon.

Great view home. Steps inside house steep & many. Wonderful fireplace. Kitchen could use under cabinet lighting but had all you would need. Super tub, very relaxing. Very small shower and toilet area in upstairs bath. Man cave in garage.

It was a very nice home. beach access was right next door. wish hot tub was bigger only good for 2. saw whales and seals from balcony which was a big hit quiet and just what we wanted. the only down side was having to continually fix bottom cushions on couch they kept sliding out

My husband and I had great time at Looking Glass. The house has great views and is lovely inside as well. The home was clean, well stocked and very comfortable. Only complaint is there needs to be more lighting in the kitchen especially by the stove.

This place was amazing, beautiful view , clean,nicely decorated, we will be going back????

We came to your rental under serious stress. The night before we left home for the coast, while we were at church our home was broken into and several items were taken including my husbands wallet which includes his ID, Credit cards and $1000 cash for our trip. So before we could leave town we had lot of phone calls to make and get a new drivers license for my husband. So when we finally arrive at our rental we were very happy with location and how nice it was. We will definitely stay there again. The only problem was there was so much rain that the skylight over the stairs leaked, but nothing a soup pan wouldn't catch. Awesome view, beautiful home, thank you!!#

We spent three days at this lovely property and had a great time. We have stayed here before, and hope to again. It's one of those places you want to return to over and over!

First evening there, we sat on the deck while whales swam by in the late afternoon sun. This could not have been more perfect.

It was great! This is the second time we've stayed in this location and we really enjoyed it both times.

Had a great experience. Unfortunately the upstairs refrigerator did not work, which was very inconvenient. Having a hot tub was a must for our stay. It said it was a four person hot tub but really is only a two person, which was unfortunate because we were entertaining guests and could not enjoy it all together. Otherwise, the house was beautiful and very enjoyable. The cleaning fee is way too steep. We did everything for the housekeeper because she was even there. Either need to drop your price or not have a long list for guests to have to do. It is supposed to be a vacation for us.

We truly enjoyed our time at this location. Our kids loved being so close to the water and able to walk up and down the beach. Great access to Lincoln City and Newport. We would definitely come back! Plan on bringing what you need for cooking as the kitchen is not stocked well if you like to cook but if you plan ahead it should not be a problem.

It was a very nice home. beach access was right next door. wish hot tub was bigger only good for 2. saw whales and seals from balcony which was a big hit quiet and just what we wanted. the only down side was having to continually fix bottom cushions on couch they kept sliding out

Our family had a great stay at this rental. The location was convenient, amenities in the house were great, right on the beach. Rental rates were a little higher than others we considered but being right on the beach, stairs to the beach right next to the house, and overall amenities made the house worth the higher rate over the length of our stay. Definitely a little more luxury than other places we've stayed. The house had a downstairs rental and the entire complex was more like luxury townhomes but still felt like it had more privacy than a typical townhome/condo setup.

Parking was a little tight in the complex but wasn't an issue.

Would stay here again in the future.

You couldn't go wrong with any house with the gorgeous weather this week! Add to it the great location, modernized home, great family time, and in general wonderful vacation! Almost perfection!

We're from Cincinnati, OH and came to Oregon to visit my sister who lives in Portland. We really enjoyed the beach house. It has pretty much everything you need to enjoy your stay. Fully equipped kitchen, to beach toys and chairs in the garage. One issue I had was with the windows at the window seat with the kitchen table. I was sitting there with my three year old son when he leaned back on the open window and the screen popped out. My husband immediately pulled out the tabs on the window frame that prevents the window from opening more than a few inches. The central vacuum cleaner is a great feature, we have one in our home too. But the main unit needs to be cleaned out so it can work properly. Besides that I would highly recommend this house for the convenient location and luxurious accommodations. BTW we saw a WHALE one morning less than 30 ft away from us where we were standing on the beach. Our kids will never forget that. The Oregon coast is just ridiculously beautiful and I can't wait to see it again!

WE loved this house, we'll be back!

We loved staying at the Looking Glass Inn! The house is beautifully furnished and clean. It has all of the amenities described and more! The views are absolutely amazing! We saw sea lions, seals and whales spouting right from the balcony. We are so happy that we had such easy access to the beach. The neighborhood is cute, quiet and has a wonderful little cafe with really yummy crepes. We will definitely be back!

The Vacation home was everything you would want it to be. Great location on the beach.
We will consider doing this again in the future!

I love this house and I rent it several times per year and pretend that it is "my" beach house. The top deck, when it is sunny, is my "happy place". Perfectly appointed, everything about this place is totally perfect for me.

We loved our weekend stay at Looking Glass Inn! The view was spectacular! We even spotted a gray whale from the upper deck 🙂 The furnishings are very comfortable and the proximity to the beach was just a few steps. The hot tub is a bit small, it's probably a two person hot tub. The kitchen is well stocked. Our only real complaint is the amount of cleaning required at check-out given the fact we paid a cleaning fee.

Our stay at this beache BHM house was great! The property is well maintained and stocked with everything you could need to cook a wonderful meal. The beds were very comfortable and beach access was amazing! The hot tub is most definitely NOT a 4 person as listed online and that should be changed as we were disappointed that it would only hold two people max and access was only by walking thru someone's room.

We take my parents to the Oregon Coast every Presidents Day Weekend. We have stayed in a different rental house every year that we go. Next year we will try to get this house again. It has everything we need and is the nicest house we have stayed in. Very clean. Amazing views. Right next to beach access. And pet friendly. We all had a great time. We will be returning in the future.

We stayed for 4 nights and loved it! The view was spectacular, the house was very well stocked, and the location was perfect! The only "cons" to the property: the TV service isn't HD-which is no biggie, you're at the beach, but we are big football fans and would have to find a different place to stay if we were coming for a football weekend, and the hardwoods were really slick. It was pet friendly which was awesome but my dog couldn't get up & down the stairs because it was so slick. Lastly, the master bath shower is not comfortable for showering. The shower head is great but way oversized for the shower so you have to duck under the water to bathe. A smaller shower head that adjusts up & down would have been good. Overall, I would 100% recommend this home. The owners have stocked it with all the necessities & then some! We barely stayed inside because we had perfect weather but if it had been rainy we had options to play ping pong, board games and do puzzles. It's very inviting and welcoming. The neighborhood was beautiful & I felt very safe! The location was wonderful because it was a quiet spot but close to Lincoln City and a short drive to many incredible sights to see in each direction. The home was very felt very homey & comfortable.

Four women stayed in the house for a "sisters' trip" and we couldn't have been more pleased with the home and its proximity to the beach. The weather was stormy so the waves were enormous! We spent hours just lounging and watching the waves. We also enjoyed the hot tub very much, though it's a bit of a stretch calling it a "4-person" tub. We wouldn't change anything about this place- we hope to be back again. Thanks for making our vacation super special!

This is a beautiful place with a great view, right on the ocean. It is in a very nice neighborhood! Would be great for 3 couples or girls weekend. Hot tub was nice, right on the patio looking over the ocean. The only down side was I wasn't given the right code to get in and so we had to call and the kitchen could have had more pots/pans to cook with.

This house was a perfect weekend getaway for a girls group! The view is beautiful, the house is lovely, and literally on the beach! We had stormy weather, so even though the tide was so high that there was no beach to walk on, the bay window was a lovely spot to watch the waves. I love the open concept of the kitchen and living room. It really was a lovely house! Just a few things to keep in mind - the hottub is a smaller one - only 2-3 people can comfortably sit in at a time. Also, I did feel that having paid a cleaning fee, we were asked to do quite a bit before checking out (take out trash, strip beds, start laundry). I felt that was a stretch to ask for if we were paying a cleaning fee. Overall the house was so amazing that we would definitely return and we would definitely recommend it!

Very high end, everything at your finger tips. We went with another couple and enjoyed the view, and especially the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks. we will be back.

Just amazing. Such a CLEAN house. We rent a lot of places all over the country but often at the coast and this cleaning crew is by far the best! So impressed with the house upkeep. Decor was perfect and tasteful and not full of grandmas seashells. Very modern feel. Lots of wildlife right outside the door. Whales, sea lions, tons of birds! We didn't need to watch much tv with the views but when we did, this was by far the best set up for DVDs. It went directly to the channel and played. No lengthy instructions or anything. We are going again next month. This is our new go to beach rental!

We had a short but enjoyable family reunion at the Looking Glass Inn. The property is very nice and well appointed. The views and access to beach were great. The area was quiet and other guests/owners friendly. It took a little time to get sleeping arrangements correct for our group and fortunately we had a gate for the stairs because of little ones. The sewer pump alarm went off more that I would expect and one TV (in garage) never worked. Otherwise it was a great time and we will all remember our stay and hope to do it again.

The location and view are spectacular and the amenities were wonderful! It was the perfect spot for our family to spend time together. We liked the fact that it was not in the midst of a busy town with lots of people on the beach. The only thing I would suggest is that there be a place to put the cushions for the outside furniture to keep them dry as they never dried out enough to use the chairs on the deck. All told it was a wonderful and memorable vacation and we hope to return very soon!

Best time!!! saw whales, seals, perfect weather, property was awesome.

WE loved this house, we'll be back!

Such a great place, great location, great deck, everything about it was so restful, relaxing and refreshing! I find myself daydreaming about napping on the deck to the sound of the surf! Makes me want to get a beachhouse!

I have always wanted to rent a house on the beach. Our home was a beautiful well kept up-to-date home. I loved it because you could sit on the balcony and watch the ocean and the kids below at the same time. There were bikes to ride. Chairs to take to the beach. Jacuzzi on the deck. We enjoyed everything there. My family had a wonderful time and will return there someday again. This was an experience that we will never forget.

The house offered great views, instant beach access, comfy blanket everywhere! Plenty of fun in the house, puzzles, board games, books, movies. The master bedroom was fantastic. Parking was not a problem, hot tub was small but working. Would definitely return.

Great stay nice house. Lacking a few things we are used to finding in a furnished beach house. Bare minimum of towels. One hand towel per bathroom. No beach towels. No old towels to mop up water dripped from hot tub. No dish rags. No large fry pan needed for a house that holds 8. Picture deceiving of hot tub, only a 2 man tub for that size house! Picture showed fire pit but that was neighbors not ours. All in all a good stay, just minor inconveniences. Hot tub was most frustrating as we chose the place for that and we had 6 people with 2 person tub!!

Our little family of four had an amazing stay at the Looking Glass. The home was clean, offered an amazing view of the ocean and lulled us to sleep at night. Hot tub is tiny but perfect for two people...very romantic. Love the close beach access. Nicely appointed blankets to cuddle up with and lovely kitchenware. The fireplace was nice and the deck chairs were comfy. Over all, we would stay again in a heartbeat. Master bed was exceptional, two lower bedroom beds were subpar. One was full of springs.....hopefully they will change out the mattress soon. Otherwise, a great weekend at Bella Beach.

It was a beautiful house. We really enjoyed our stay for the first time in Oregon.
The only complaint I have is parking issues and having to move cars in and out.
Also the need for more baking sheets and pans but other than that the place was marvelous. We had a great time!

My husband and I were very happy with the house, location, and the clean quaint community. The home had lots of windows and light, and the home was right at the ocean's edge. The picture is a little deceiving as the homes are in close proximity of each other but it was quiet and restful.The home was lovely and had plenty of room. The kitchen had updated appliances and a full set of sharp knives! We are used to a gas stove but the electric worked fine. The gas grill was good size and worked well for grilling fresh seafood from a stand in Lincoln City. We saw seals and a whale right from the front deck! The hot tub on the lower deck was great but it is small, fine for two people. The hot Just down the steps, and you're on a long quiet stretch of beach, great for walking. There is a small surface lot a couple houses away with space for about eight large RV's, but with the rules of the community it was no problem. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Looking Glass Inn. Everything was as the pictures stated, no problems with dealing with the agency, plenty of supplies were furnished in the Kitchen. Modern entertainment ammenities (cable, DVD's) for the windy cool evenings and games for the kiddo's. Supprised to find a ping pong table as well as bike's and beach toys. We will return next year no hesitation's.

We had a lovely time at the beach. The property was great, the only thing we were disappointed in was that the hot tub was unavailable and we were told 3 days before our arrival date.

Great view home. Steps inside house steep & many. Wonderful fireplace. Kitchen could use under cabinet lighting but had all you would need. Super tub, very relaxing. Very small shower and toilet area in upstairs bath. Man cave in garage.

We rented this home with another family for a getaway and it was fabulous. We live on the water in a small town in WA so when we get away to somewhere else, it has to be at least as beautiful as where we live and this did it~ Its a quaint cozy home furnished with everything we needed including cozy blankets. Make sure you stop in Lincoln City to get groceries and there is no need to leave. The community the home is in is adorable as well. Its not one of those places that is the only nice one on the block and everything around it is scary. Highly recommend this place and the rental company.

This a very nice home with a well equipped kitchen, It's quiet and right on the beach, so the access is very easy. One thing to know about is that the hot tub was fairly small. It can barely fit in 2 people. Otherwise, this is a great great place and very well kept.

Exactly as described

Enjoyed our stay. If we have a family gathering again I would try to get the same place. Beach access was great and the view was amazing. It's in a great location.

The only thing that would be nice is if they had recycling instead of having to pack it up bring it home.

This townhouse didn't feel like a townhouse, decorated lovely, and a great get-a-way. We were even fortunate to have 2 sunny days in December! Great beach access and miles of beach to walk. We would rent this unit again in a heartbeat!

Our family spent 5 days here over Thanksgiving. We were blessed with unseasonably warm weather and had a wonderful, relaxing time. You can't beat the beach front location of this home. Plenty of room for our family 6. The home is well stocked with the essentials. Parking is tight so plan accordingly. Will definitely stay again.

House was very clean!

We enjoyed our 3 day stay at Bella Beach at Depoe Bay. Whale watching was phenomenal. Weather was cool, cloudy and foggy but house was warm, cozy and very comfortable. Would recommend to a friend.

Happy times with the family in the sand and ocean.

The location was wonderful and for the most part everything was great about the townhome. The noticeable deficiencies were, lack of face clothes (only two for six people),Bath mat in the downstairs bathroom had not been washed, no shampoo and conditioner provided and no light bulb in lamp by bed in downstairs bedroom. It was the location, general good condition of the Townhome and our improvising that diminished the negatives noticed.

I rented the Sea Glass Cottage and the Looking Glass Inn because we had 27 members of my family staying for 4 nights. We loved it! We loved the location! The Sea Glass Cottage has been well used and needs a little touch up paint, cupboard doors in the kitchen need to be repaired, the fridge leaked and the microwave did not work well. But we loved it and loved that we all had a bedroom and bathroom. I hope we can rent them again sometime. Thank you!!

Very nice, hot tube is to small and the TV were nice but not on cable . the only one we could watch the game on was the one in the garage.

We had the most amazing extended Memorial Day weekend at Looking Glass Inn! The view is absolutely gorgeous and right next to the walking path and stairs to the beach. The property is well maintained, beautifully decorated and very comfortable for our family of 4 plus Mother-In-Law.
The kitchen was well equipped but we would have loved a coffee grinder.
Bella Beach is one of our favorite family spots to visit and we would highly recommend this property to others.

Just an amazing stay. The only thing negative was the beach cruisers were in disrepair. Only 3 of the 5 were usable and we had 4 people. Everything else was spectacular and will definitely go back!
