Star of the Sea

My family and I have been booking with Meredith for the last couple of years and will continue for years to come. I treated my parents to a week on the beach for their 60th birthdays as we all love the Oregon coast. This home was incredible. The ocean view from the upstairs and the deck is breathtaking. We werent totally prepared for a wood-burning fireplace and instead of paying a crazy amount for tiny bundles of firewood at local places, we bought a box of fire logs from the store which was perfect. Not so much for the heat, but for the ambiance. The home is very well stocked. There were only 3 of us and 2 Scotties so we had ample room. As with any vacation rental, there are a few minor cosmetic issues that need attention, but Im sure they will be taken care of in the off season. 72 stairs to the beach. But they are manageable and not super steep. The fenced yard was perfect for our pups. BBQ is in disrepair but we managed steaks on the stove. We love Meredith and will continue to book direct every time!

My husband and I were at the coast celebrating our anniversary. The first house we booked became unavailable quite unexpectedly, and we had to quickly pick a new beach house. When we arrived, the new house was way too small for our needs (mainly our dog's needs). We called the reservation line on a Sunday morning and by 4pm we were moved to this wonderful, beautiful, magnificent house. The view was amazing, the space was perfect - we enjoyed every second of our stay. Thank you to Meredith Lodging for making it a memorable anniversary.

We had the best time! The house was perfect. Everything we needed was there. 6 adults and 4 kids. The upstairs living room was great for the kids to hang out when they weren't on the beach. The views were amazing. Beach access is not hard at all. It meanders down the hill instead of straight down.

This house was perfect for a small family gathering. It was well stocked and comfortable. The view was beautiful and the location was perfect. Watching the harbor seals feed was a highlight of our trip being so close to the river. Perfect also if you have a dog. I would definitely stay here again.

After looking on line at over 100 vacation homes along the OR coast, we finally settled on one that looked perfect. I had flown 2730 miles to my Son's home in OR and were just getting in the car to travel the last 130 mi to our rental when a gentleman from Meredith called my cell phone. He told us that we couldn't have our selection because the water heater blew out and flooded the home. You can imagine the disbelief and disappointment on my part. He took charge and in 20 minutes he had arranged another home and we were on our way. Long story with a happy ending. I will be back next year and there is no question who I will be renting from. A big "Thank You" to the Meredith employee that saved my vacation and got us a home with whales swimming in the "backyard"! DZ

Definitely our favorite Rental. There are stairs so bad knees might complain. The views are amazing.

Homey, comfortable..VIEW amazing. And we can bring our dogs.

ALL outside lights, except for porch, NOT working..assume need bulbs. Other than that all well.
First year we came was 2015..we'll be back again next summer. I'm 81 and can navigate the stairs to upper floor but not to beach so Use beach access north of house. Comfortable walking distance from house.
See you in 2108!
Wish tv and small sofa or comfortable chairs on first floor.

Vacation was great. Weather was chilly at 62 degrees for the 4th of July. We met up with several family members to enjoy a few days and watch the fireworks! We spent every July 4th at Lincoln City for several years, then our company moved us to Texas. We always missed spending time in Lincoln City during July 4th week. A few years ago we came back and found it still had the same appeal as it did 30 years ago. This year is the first time we rented a home and loved it. In the past we always stayed at the Inn at Spanish Head. The only item I missed at the home was a hair dryer.

Wonderful location. And really loved the houses potential. It was in need of some repairs. I dont know if the average person would notice though. My husband is a contractor and I am in maintenance so we did notice. Overall great house great location!

Easy and enjoyable ocean getaway.

Our group consisted of a group of friends; house had adequate beds to accommodate everyone. We particularly enjoyed the private beach access and being within walking distance of restaurants and a small grocery store. Loved watching seals and whales from the deck!

We really enjoyed ourself. The house is located right on the beach with easy beach access, but even if you didn't go to the beach the ocean views were wonderful! From the house we spotted several whales and even had a deer and her two fawns visit us in the back yard! Quiet neighborhood, good location. Parts of the home are a little dated, which is understandable for a vacation rental, but the home had all the amenities we were looking for! Would definitely rent this house again.

We rented this home for three days in July, for four adults and four children.

We had one problem, in that there were no pans (although there were a lot of pots). When we informed the management of the issue, they immediately sent over two pans. They were very responsive.

The view is absolutely gorgeous.

The walk down to the beach is via a winding staircase down the bluff. It was fine for our family, but it would not be a good choice for a family with any mobility issues.

The beds were comfortable, and it was really nice to gather in the living room and play cards and look out at the ocean.

Had a great time! Easy access to property with its own stairway to the beach. The views were awesome from all the living areas. The home was well equipped but only 6 dining chairs and there were 8 of us. The drains are all slow and some of the vertical blinds had key missing parts. I would recommend this property as a good value.

This house had plenty of space and rooms for my large extended family. Everyone had a bed to sleep on, which can be difficult to find for a large group. The view was gorgeous and it was great having a grassy area for the kids and dogs. The split level with the kitchen and dining area downstairs and the family room upstairs was a little awkward, but it did allow for smaller gatherings. The house was just a couple minutes walk away from a viewpoint for the Lincoln City firework show. It was so nice to not have to stake out a spot for hours prior to the show and then sit in traffic on the way home after. The house was adequately stocked with dishes although we could not find any pans - had to use pots for eggs in the mornings. There was a rice cooker, which was a nice surprise since I forgot to bring mines. Overall, I would definitely recommend this rental and would love to come back.

We planned a weeklong girls getaway for 10 in our family. The property was great. Everything was very clean, and it was wonderful to have so many nice clean towels available. The view was spectacular and is most definitely the highlight of this property. We were able to see whales and sea lions from the upstairs windows. We loved having private beach access, and our teens loved to be able to run down to the beach and play while we sat in the house and were able to watch them. We would definitely love to come and stay again.

everything was excellent except for a few needed repairs, replacements.

Bookclub ladies enjoyed our stay. Lots of comfortable beds, great view, even saw whales from living room.

We loved it. We have stayed in Lincoln City several times before at Inn at Spanish Head. We loved the house: the yard for our dog, the upstairs TV room, the views, the beach access, the privacy, how close it is to town, etc. Great experience!

Very enjoyable, great view. Would be difficult for elderly people to manage the stairs to the beach

Unfortunately we had many delays the evening we were due to arrive and didn't get into the house until 10p.m. but enjoyed the next two days and nights very much!!

Updated house in a great location and a wonderful view! We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

This house has the perfect location and a breath taking view. It was everything our family needed to make long lasting memories. It was clean and the manager gave good customer service. We have another wedding to attend in Lincoln City in 2016. We hope to book our stay at the Star of the Sea. I would recommend this to a family member. We give her 5 stars.

The view on both levels is amazing. I appreciated the refrigerator with a large lower freezer. The Master bedroom is unusual as there are 2 queen beds at opposite ends of a large rectangular room. The foyer had a large space that could have held a small couch. Our group would have used it ! Only 6 dining room chairs was not enough for the 11 of us. Our dogs liked playing on the grassy area ! The stairs to the beach were overgrown and a bit hard to navigate. I think we would stay there again.

We had 3 families sharing this home. It was spacious enough and everyone had a bed. We loved being able to see the beach from both levels. Spent quite a bit of time on the second floor deck and in the family room. To me that is the most fantastic part of the home. We had a few technical difficulyies; such as tripping the breakers while cooking and we could not get the vacuum to work. The management company was notified. The one feature that needs upgrading is the kitchen. A gourmet kitchen it is not. All in all, we had a fantastic long weekend.

We were looking for a home for a family reunion. Grandma can't do stairs, so we chose this home because there was a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and great view all on the first floor. The house is a little outdated and the kitchen a bit small for our group, but it fit our needs and was well-located. The rest of us could use the stairs down to the beach (coarser sand than other places along the Oregon coast). We needed the four parking spaces (2 inside a garage, 2 outside), so that was nice. The upstairs sitting area was really lovely as well with lots of windows. We could have used another bathroom in the house with our group of 12, but the two were okay. The only disappointment was that the house wasn't well-stocked with hand soap, dishwasher soap, or laundry soap, so we kept having to go to the store. The laundry soap wouldn't have been an issue except that they require you to start a load of laundry when you check out but don't provide you with soap. We felt like for the price we were paying for the house (very fair, but not cheap) basics like soaps should have been provided. The kitchen was fairly well-stocked for our cooking needs. This was a simple house but lovely for our stay.

We decided last minute to visit the beautiful Oregon Coast. The house is quite cozy with many sitting areas. Our main concern was beach access and boy was it great! We had an elderly dog so the stairs to the beach were a bit much but we just carried her. Beds and couches were comfortable. The kitchen was small but then again, we had a lot of cooks in the kitchen! We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning.

We were delighted with the beautiful home and the gorgeous view, especially from the upstairs living room! I recommend this home.

What a beautiful house! The views amazing, the lawn was wonderful to have overlooking the ocean, the upstairs family room and deck comfy and warm. Private beach access was perfect too! Lots of stairs to the beach but they were easy and solid. The house is well stocked. Perfect location! And the price was super affordable. Will definitely stay there again!!

The view. Oh the view. It was so beautiful! Both upstairs and downstairs. Even the kids couldn't get over it. We spent our first morning watching whales while we ate breakfast before moving the party upstairs and continuing to take it all in. The house was a great size for our group of three families. We put the kids downstairs so that we could watch TV in the evenings and not disturb them. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend this house out to family, friends, and strangers on the internet! Our only complaints were that the beds were definitely on the hard side and there weren't a lot of dressers/space to unpack our clothes for the week we stayed. But overall an amazing time! I almost forgot to mention how nice it was to not only have a grass area for the kids to play in the backyard but also the deck to lounge on. And the private stairs down. We've stayed at a lot of houses in Lincoln City over the years and this one definitely had the best walk down to the beach. They weren't overly steep and the walk itself was actually really pretty!

We stayed in a beautiful beachfront home with amazing views! The house was clean, comfortable, and the two wood stoves were very cozy. The last evening we were in the house some whales showed up, which we could see right out the window! Had an amazing trip and will defenetly be doing it again! We have already recommended this company to friends traveling to the coast for whale watching season.

Everything was perfect except we went to the mall, I bought underware and we left it at the house!!!

There were good furniture additions that were nice and appreciated. The view is spectacular!!!! The laminate wood floor upstairs has some super slick spots of wearing socks. Great location and we had a great time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Star of the Sea. The only things we would change is: better accommodations for the garbage. We had the one can full by day #2.

this is the 3rd year we have stayed at the Star of the Sea. Everything about it is fantastic!!!!

The house was clean and in perfect order. We absolutely loved the view of the ocean and the beach and hearing the surf. The large living area upstairs is all windows facing the ocean. We enjoyed the private steps to the beach winding through a corridor of plants. Forgot to leave a note that the light by the garage is burned out so it's hard to see the house numbers in the dark. We would definitely stay there again.

Amazing views of the Pacific and Siletz Bay!

This is a beautiful home with great separation of space. It is well appointed and comfortable. The home has a fabulous ocean view and an easy path to the beach.

The views from this home are lovely. We enjoyed watching whales, seals, and the ocean waves from the upper deck and upstairs living room.

Beds were quite firm, and linens could be updated. The kitchen was well stocked. There are some minor repairs that need to be made, but all in all it is a nice property.

The private beach access is nice, although the stairs are quite steep if you have anyone older in your group.

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Over all a good experience. We had some trouble with the dryer lint trap (packed with lint and couldn't close the door until we cleaned it out). Also couldn't figure out how to use the DVD player. The bed on the north side of the first floor wasn't very comfortable. Stairs to the beach were in good shape, and the hot tub worked good. Kitchen was a little tight - only about 2 could work without getting in the way.

Very nice

Wonderful vacation what a super view we all want to come back and stay longer!
Home needs some repair but we overlooked. Two of the beds were hard and the couches were more comfortable to sleep Other than that we loved every moment!!!

The house is lovely with good beds and a beautiful view. We had quite a bit of trouble with the TV. The sound cut out intermittently and the handyman did not fix it. Also the last evening the WIFI, TV and telephone were all out. Maybe a problem in the wires? It was a very nice house except for these technical issues.

The house was really nice and I loved the location. The stairs down to the beach were great. The description said the yard was fenced, which it isn't, so had to be out with the dogs when they needed out so they wouldn't run down to the beach. The blinds in the upstairs bathroom were broken (wouldn't adjust to close) so I felt like someone was watching me all the time. Would like a fan or air-conditioning as it was pretty warm. The bbq was a bit beat up and there was no propane. The site said it was within walking distance to shops and restaurants, which it is not. But regardless of these minor complaints, I would definitely recommend staying here. These complaints are very minor things. My kids had an awesome time, just hanging at the house and running down to the beach anytime they wanted. The dogs were very happy too.

I have to say we had a pleasant stay and I will definitely do it again. The house was shared with 6 adults (3 couples) and 2 kids. The house was spacious, well furnished, great view, and the house is on a good location. We had access to a local store, plenty of restaurants and various stores within a 5 mile ratio. The house had everything we needed from extra towels, blankets, extra pillows, and even an extra refrigerator in the garage. The kids had plenty of space to run around and the direct access to the beach was priceless. We found the property cleaned and well maintained.
There were only 2 things that the group was not happy about.
1.It looked like the previous user had a dog staying at the house and all off the sofas had dog hair everywhere, we used a lint roller and tape to gather the dog hair.
2.When we arrived the trash can was completely full, per the instructions we found at the house it said to call a number. The person who answered was curt and told me the trash pick-up would be the next day (Tuesday). I let her know that everything wed read indicated trash would be picked up on Thursday. Thats when she grudgingly said shed send someone to deal with our overflowing trash situation. Basically, her attitude was poor and her initial response was inaccurate.

This place is great we love it waking up in the morning looking at the ocean and the sounds of the waves and the bird humming can't ask for more. This is what you called a home away from home. The place is so clean and convenient close to everything. We definitely coming back.

The management company was very professional and provided timely information. The directions to the house were easy to follow. The home was ocean front with great views. The kitchen and dining room were on the main level, but the living room was up a flight of stairs which made it challenging for older visitors. It was very clean and kitchen was well stocked with dishes, towels, etc. The only negative comment from my family was that the sheets were very worn and bottom sheets no longer had elastic to stay on the mattresses. I would certainly stay there again.

The house was gorgeous and the views spectacular! I only gave 3-4 stars for the lack of furniture. For a house that can have up to 12 guests I recommend investing in more places to sit. Downstairs there was just a few stools the kitchen table that sat 8 people and a broken recliner. Upstairs just two couches. The house needs some comfortable chairs downstairs and more upstairs, but overall we had a blast! The best part the house is pet friendly and out lab was very happy!

We have not rented a house before, it was perfect for our family, there was plenty of room, and all of the amenities for us to enjoy time away. Cooking breakfast in the morning was so much nicer than dragging everyone out. We'd stay again.
