Iconic Oregon Ocean House with Great Views -fun activities for all close by!

The Happy Clam is a large stylish comfortable home with walls of windows, including a two story great room. This makes for wonderful viewing of the water, sky and historic bridge. Inspiring in any kind of weather. The location is ideal:

* sits right on the quiet south jetty with great views from the bay to the ocean - birds and seals are constantly in view as are fishing boats cruising by

* is at the epicenter of fun stuff, all within walking distance - a serene beach, clam beds, biking, pier for crabbing, marina, Rogue Brewery, marine attractions including the fabulous Aquarium and marine science center, restaurants, shops, glass blowing, bike trails and miles of beach.

* is wonderfully comfortable for a great night's sleep, lounging, and fully equipped for fun activities including games, ping pong, pool table, foosball

* close to fun festivals, 5 min. walk to WINE AND SEAFOOD FESTIVAL and others.

5 BEDROOMS TOTAL (including small bunk bed room) with addition of ground floor apartment or:

MAIN HOUSE ( up to 08 guests) can be rented separately at approximately $100 less per night (see vrbo.com/315491) but most groups of 8 or more prefer the entire house to spread out.

The main part of the house is on the second and third level which is also why the views are so good. There we have 3 bedrooms (1-King and 2 Queens) plus a bunk room (small room with bunk beds) and a loft area with a pull-out couch. The bedrooms all have walk-in closets and baths. There are 3 HDTV's and plenty of couches and chairs. The master bedroom has a double walk-in closet, so large a twin mattress can be put in one side for an extra sleeping place.

The dining table seats 8 (10 can work) and the kitchen counter seats 3. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, pans, pots, cutlery, spices, flour, sugar.

APARTMENT is included in this option (VRBO 914857) and rates. It is a cheerful space on the first level of the home. It has a bedroom with a queen bed, a bath, a small living room and kitchen plus another HDTV. It's nice to have this space for those that are bit noisier or need more quiet time -- depending on the group.

The Happy Clam is great for smaller families and is also perfect for expanded family get-togethers, retreats, book and other clubs, reunions, birthday or other special days (including surprises) - or just plain getting away from the routine. There is no bad season to hang at the Happy Clam. It's always relaxing and never boring.

Ring doorbells with video exist outside the house for security purposes.

Great stay
We are a group of four couples who have been coming to Newport every winter for the last 15 years. This is the second time we have stayed at the Happy Clam. It is such a great place. Plenty of room for all of us. Great kitchen and living area. We plan to return next year.

Lovely home perfect for our large group
We stayed here with our family (7 of us) and it was perfect. Beautiful views. Enough bedrooms and space to spread out. It’s walking distance to the aquarium which we really enjoyed. This was our first time to Newport and we’ll be back as we didn’t have enough time to explore it thoroughly.

Great place for families
Our second time here for a family reunion. It’s clean and comfortable. Lots of room for a big group. The kids loved the activities in the garage. It was fun to walk down to the ocean at the end of the jetty in front of the house. We hope to come back!

Perfect Beach Stay
What a great long weekend we spent in your beautiful beach home! It was perfect for our whole family to stay together, including our three grown daughters, spouses and two young grandsons. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom! The downstairs apartment was perfect for our daughter/spouse with two young children. The house is well-equipped with everything we needed and more! We will definitely be back😊 Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

My Favorite Place
Our 4th year at The Clam 1st year was during COVID. Our host, Gary, is the best. His cleaning crew is the best. The property is the best. We each love our own personal space and we have it at The Clam. Great views. Great location. End of story.

Excellent Family Stay
Our family had a fantastic time at this VRBO rental. The house was spacious, well-maintained, and in an excellent location. We loved being walking distance to the pier and a short drive over the bridge to shopping and restaurants. We had a blast crab fishing off the pier and had fresh crab for dinner a couple nights. The host was warm and welcoming, providing us with helpful local tips and kept us informed of local street work being done. We also hosted a 50th Anniversary party here with about 25 people and everything went off perfectly! We couldn't have asked for a better place to create lasting memories with our loved ones.

Okay if your young!
Looking at the pictures I thought we were on the bay. If I had known there was a big condo in our view I wouldn't have booked this property. Also, a lot of stairs, not good if your older. We were very disappointed with the location, we had to go home to rest up!

A Great Place for Family Fun
After trying to put together a gathering of family and friends in Bandon for my wife's 70th birthday in 2020, only to have to cancel due to Covid-19, the time came to try again. This time, we opted for Newport and the Happy Clam, as we had seen this property a few years back and thought it would suit our needs. It did magnificently. Gary was great at answering my questions and the property was well stocked and clean. All of the rooms are spacious and comfortable and there is plenty to do...rain or shine. We would definitely do this again if they'lll have us. Mike F.

Bridge hide out
The property was almost below the Newport bridge. This was a family reunion so rented the whole property. The main floor kitchen concern was the lack of storage for non perishable food. My daughter in law is 5’2” and the only storage bins were above the refrigerator that she could not reach. We moved the main cooking to the apartment where there was lots of food storage and a gas stove. Location and property exactly what we wanted. The grandkids went crabbing 3 days in a row off the public dock not far from the house. Crab pots are provided in the rental. We frequented the Rogue Brewery that was within walking distance. So was the Aquarium.

Not as advertised
The view was beautiful but only from second floor. The listing claimed view from bottom floor apartment but that wasn't true. Some of my family has physical disabilities & I hated it for them to have to climb stairs for a view. The listing claimed two Jacuzzis but there was only one & it was on 15 minute timer that you had to get out of Jacuzzi & walk across bathroom to reset if you wanted to soak longer. The second day we were there the ice maker quit working. The toilet on second floor kept clogging & Everytime we ran the dishwasher disgusting stuff would come up garbage disposal. We tried running garbage disposal to get rid of the disgust but it just became worse.

Family Birthday Weekend
This is the perfect place for an extended family gathering. We had multiple generations from age 9 to 86 and everyone had such a wonderful time. Great location, convenient for walking to the beach or aquarium. Very well equipped kitchen is perfect for staying in. Fun game room in the garage with pool and ping pong tables. Lots of light and incredible view of the river and bridge. Huge primary suite. Very welcoming and communicative host. Would highly recommend.

This was a perfect place for our large group for an extended stay. It was on 3 levels which allowed us to spread out and be alone or meet up on the main level (The Middle one) if we wanted to visit, play games etc....... Quiet neighborhood and the host was great to communicate with. Lots of parking a BIG Bonus for a large group and within walking distance to a lot of fun things to do in Newport. we had a great time and would recommend to anyone.
