The Driftwood Cottage by The Sea

A Peaceful Beach Cottage on the Pacific Scenic Route awaits you! On two lush, beautiful acres, which you can enjoy and relax when you are not on the beach, hiking, biking or enjoying any other activity in this majestic area. A place for relaxing and enjoying beauty and tranquility, where you can connect to nature. Access path to the beach across from property, and mountain view in rear of property.

This unique, lovely cottage is equipped with a kitchen, one bedroom and a bath. A trundle bed for two single beds in the living room. A BBQ grill outside. Semi loop trail on the property, where you can enjoy wildlife and beautiful sunsets over the ocean.

A code will be provided by 3pm on arrival day. If you wish to leave the gate open while on the premises, be sure to place a rock in front of each gate so they don’t swing back and forth with the wind.

Once you retrieve the key from the combo lockbox to the cottage and open up the cottage, please place the key back in the lock box, don’t take it out of the premises. A surveillance camera is outdoor on the premises for safety.

Spectacular
Perfect location, grossly underpriced, ideal central location for Redwood and the Oregon coast. The private beach across the street is perfect. I wish all Vrbo homes were this perfect

Just a perfect few days
The beach bungalow has a wonderful "island" feel to it. You can hear the surf all evening for a restful sleep. The bed was a firm memory foam. Very comfortable. A short walk to a quiet beach was the centerpiece of a magical get away.

Lovely and Authentically Funky
The property itself is gorgeous. Inside the cottage however, there were some house keeping issues when we arrived: old coffee spill stains on the stove top, crumbs from old food were left in the microwave and toaster oven, all of the drawers where eating utensils were kept also had diet and old crumbs of food, one burner did not work on the stove top, all outside chairs and barbecue had dirt and cobwebs all over them. Other than that, it was an incredibly enjoyable, comfortable, homey cottage with tons of artistic interest.

Good except too cold for baby feet.
Our stay was amazing. We are the type to bring extra bedding in case and it was not needed here. Our only complaint was it was too cold for our 1 year olds feet and on our first night it would not get warm. We got there around 5 and turned on the heaters but the baby was too cold. Bedding are super nice duvets so the beds were warm. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed.

Del Norte house
We stayed 3 nights at the Del Norte house. The house was well equipped as far a kitchen and bathroom supplies. The bed was comfortable. The shower was hot and had good water pressure. We did have a few issues with getting there. I clicked the link on VRBO website but the directions did not take us to the correct property. Fortunately, we realized this before we got to the wrong address. The other issue was a few bugs. There were some dead bugs in the shower the night we got in. My husband cleaned them up. The next morning, there were more bugs in the shower. There were a few tiny live bugs crawling around. I contacted the host to let him know. He told me the bugs are Rollie Pollie bugs that are common in the area. They are a nuisance but harmless. We kept our suitcases off the floor and zipped up. One other annoyance, we left on a Monday morning. We had 3 or 4 messages that we were to “roll” the garbage and recycling bins to the street for pick up. It was not a big deal, but we did pay a cleaning fee and not sure why we were responsible for this. The garbage pick up was either Monday night or Tuesday morning. We left at 7:30 am Monday.

Great home base
We enjoyed the close proximity to the Redwoods and the Coast. Downside of the cottage was not enough actual seating in the cottage and we had to bring our sand chairs in to the house to have a comfortable chair. It also would have been nice to have screens on the sliders and the front windows. Other than that it was a nice clean cottage and the beds were very comfortable. I also thought that there would be more privacy from the house in front.

Great Location
The Funky Little Beach House was perfectly located for easy beach access and proximity to the Redwoods as well as all the Oregon Coast. Ample space for 2 adults. Adequate facilities for meals and other personal needs. Bed is comfy but sure would have been nice to have a dresser but we made due. All in all a very nice place.
