Amazing view
The place is both off the beaten path and centrally located. We had plans to visit more of Port Orford, but the view from the picture winfow kept us inside, chatting and enjoying the amazing Pacific Ocean. We loved there was no TV to distract from Mother Natures best must see TV.

Sweet town, ocean view, charming cottage
Stayed for a month. We love the Oregon coast, and this property gave us access to so much! We hiked the cape and point trails at the coast guard station numerous times, as well as, other trails up and down the coast. Found lots of agates. Deer came through our yard sometimes twice a day, and we watched them through huge picture windows. This property was remodeled by someone with superior style and carpentry skills. The upstairs loft area is spectacular.

Tree Top Cottage
Loved this place! So quirky but charming. The Loft was very cool (I should call it ‘the library’ because there are even more books up there than downstairs! Kitchen well appointed. Heater works great. Only negatives were that refrigerator runs off & on, and at night it sounds like it’s powering up. I had to close the hall door to the living room so I wouldn’t have to hear it. And the other thing was the bed, it’s horrible. It is way too soft and unsupportive, it feels like you’re laying on foam Also, the walk to the beach is definitely a hike downhill and then steep uphill all the way back. I never did find the trail. I drove down there.. I also wish it had a TV. I had to watch on my iPad. A family would love it here. I did too, I was just by myself.Very very quiet & serene.

Beach great, House and property need work
House dirty, in need of deep cleaning ! Could use new towels and shower mats. Too much clutter regarding pots snd pans because they were stored on dirty floor. Outside house and yard unkept and deck not safe. Neighborhood quiet and peaceful with deer outside windows. Beach beautiful had to ask neighbor for access.

Great cozy cottage with wonderful view (when it's not foggy!)
Overall this is a fabulous house, and we would stay there again. The bed was firm, the kitchen well appointed, view was amazing, and the local deer were fun to watch. Great location super close to Port Orford Heads, and the delicious Golden Harvest Herban Farm! Just a couple minor complaints. The house was clean, but the floors could use mopping, they seemed to be simply swept "clean". The heater in the bathroom would not come on, luckily it was only chilly in the AM. Having a hair dryer available would also be nice, every house I've stayed at along the coast has one for the guests to use. I'll recommend this house, and look forward to staying there again in the future!

A Delightful Stay in Historic Port Orford
Staying in a house in Port Orford, the oldest town on the Oregon South Coast, was a source of joy and happiness for our family. Surrounded by forests and offering stunning ocean views, the scenery was truly beautiful and picturesque. We highly recommend this experience to others.

Whimsy is a gorgeous and yet simple place that allows for relaxation, great views, access to beautiful hikes and fun food places. The cabin is a work of art with a view (and plenty of books to read). Highly recommended!

Such a unique house!
It was clean and perfect for our family, the kids loved the staircase! It wasn’t super easy to navigate as a heavier adult but it wasn’t that bad at all! Beautiful view and a lovely Doe with her twin fawns came to visit!

Wonderful secret spot!
My wife and adult daughter really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back. The experience was everything that we expected. The only negative aspect was the lack of a large pan fir cooking( Perhaps not everyone has a wife and daughter who are gourmet chefs ). Overall an excellent experience!!

Cute and quiet with potential
This house is cute and the location is very private with a pretty view. Perfect house to enjoy some peace/quiet but we were pretty disappointed that the trail to the beach (in the description of the house) doesn't actually exist. The outside of the house could be better maintained and the sofa bed is pretty wore out as well. Love the loft but definitely not safe for young kids and the spiral staircase is a tight squeeze for even an average sized adult. Could be alot nicer with some small changes/updates

We had a great time, ocean sunsets every night, cool and unique home. Internet wasn't working when we got there, I called vacasa who couldn't help, stated that local manager would contact me next day. Nobody ever called or emailed me, luckily, I figured it out. Very quiet, private neighborhood.

Cozy, Very Private, Relaxing
The view was outstanding, the bedrooms provided much needed comfort. Loved the selection of books. It would have been nice for the living room to have a recliner type chair, and the outside could use better yard furniture and a grill. Otherwise, we loved the house and all of its other amenities. It made our stay on the beach very relaxing! We will definitely return!

Mesmerizing View
A beautiful spot on the Oregon coast. Quiet and peaceful. Stairs to loft are tight to get up. Has most everything we needed. Could not find trail (listed in description of house) to coast and no instructions in the house for anything such as recycle rules, trail directions, heating, etc. Lots-and lots of books and plenty of kitchen supplies. A nice place overall.
