Idyllic Beach House Experience

Right on the beach and we almost had the whole beach to ourselves most of the time. The comfortable cozy house had everything we needed and was a short drive to town for the essentials. A perfect place to experience the Oregon coast.

Great ocean access even though we didn't use it (too windy and hail). Multiple beds and bedrooms, nice bath and kitchen. Nice place to relax at the coast. Not that far a drive to town.

We were there for two nights during stormy weather. The house was snug and comfortable. The view is awesome! Nice flat beach to take advantage of when there were breaks in the storms. Great place!

Darling Cottage

This little place is just lovely. Easy beach access, down about 15 steps and then you are on the beach!! Between Waldport and Yahats which both have lots of little shops to explore. Definitely plan on returning.

Surf and Chill

The cottage was well laid out and very cute. The beach theme was evident in every room with cute trinkets and ocean colors. It was close to town but had the feel of an isolated cottage with a wonderful beach area. The atmosphere was relaxing and the sound of the waves mixed with the sea air, worked it's magic.

A cute and cozy cottage!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Blue Bird Cottage. The location, beach access and views were perfect. The cottage itself was quaint and comfortable, providing us with adequate amenities for our stay and we look forward to renting it again in the (near) future. The fenced front yard was great for the little pups and the deck overlooking the beach was lovely. We rate the management company, Ocean Odyssey Beach Rentals with an A as they have excellent communication and were extremely pleasant and helpful when we had questions. My only negative was having to pack up and go home.

Love this home

This was our second stay and we now call it our home away from home. It’s a cozy little house with a beautiful deck to watch the waves. Each room has a fantastic view of the ocean. Both times the place was clean and ready to live in for a week or extended weekend. Room downstairs has a very comfortable memory foam bed. Cozy tv area and kitchen essentials were available. Can’t wait to book our next stay! Thank you ❤️

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've been enjoying the BB cottage for a number of years now, spending many a relaxing time with our dog in both winter and summer. Over the years, it's only gotten better, with an updated bathroom, improved furniture, new fireplace, etc. It's small and old, but clean and comfy. We will continue to return to this darling cottage.

Weekend of September

Quiet time with my dog. House is very cute. Easy access to beach. Great beach for dogs. Not heavily populated. Only problem was main bed was not changed. When I brought it up manager was very happy to offer me a credit. Lovely spot and I will return.

Spring Break Getaway

We had an amazing time at this property. We three adults, one tween and baby. Oh and our dogs! It was the perfect space. I would recommend it for a couple getaway or family of 4. I chose the property for the enclosed front area and beach access for the dogs:) The deck in the back and the stairs to the beach were great! So easy to manage and a hose placed perfectly to wash off the sand from humans and dogs before you go back up! Are there some quirks - yes but it’s an older, quaint beach cottage ON the beach, not sure how one could complain. I loved our time there and we will definitely be booking the cottage again!

Best little cottage on the coast!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been staying at this cottage every year for many years. It's the perfect location to stay. The house is very well kept.Its always clean when we arrive. It has all the amenities you need. You can even look out of the upstairs window and see the spout of a whale or two, along with seals swimming by. Only a few steps down from the deck and you're on the beach. I love it. Can't wait until next year!

A safe harbor in the storm!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked the Blue Bird Cottage for a weekend on the coast. It rained and the winds blew all weekend but we felt safe and cozy in the cottage. We enjoyed bundling up and watching the raging surf from the warmth and safety of the living room. The beds were very comfortable and we had all the amenities we needed for a lovely, very relaxing time. The neighborhood was quaint and felt safe. it was near the highway but the sounds of cars were minimal. The location was perfect for going to Yachats or Walport quickly. I would most definitely stay here again. Hopefully next time during a sunny warm weekend!

Superb surf views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This spotlessly clean cottage has great views of the waves rolling in over the expansive beach. The kitchen has everything you need to make your meals in, and avoid the considerable expense of eating out, but there are plenty of options reasonably close by should you choose to splurge. Every bed has a wake-up view of the surf and sky. The shower is wonderful, and large enough for two. Katy in the office was very quick to respond to any of our questions and concerns. We love the Oregon coast, and would certainly return to this property. For location and amenities (and reasonable price, at least during the time we stayed) this was pretty close to the top of our all-time list.

beach getaway

my kids wanted a quick weekend away w/ our dogs and we found this and booked it. communication was fast, they were super nice about me bringing our dogs and you can't beat the location. The shower as others have stated is amazing - beautiful, clean and very HOT water! I loved the fenced front yard for the dogs - that was a huge bonus that I appreciated a lot (and the dogs too!). The beach is wonderful and not super crowded. My only complaints would be 1. it took a while for the house to warm up but once it did it was nice and toasty but our first night was a bit chilly - but we also arrived at 9 pm. 2. the house is very close to hwy so that scared me a bit w/ my dogs as one side of the back yard was not fenced and led directly to the hwy - so anyone w/ kids and dogs be aware of this. overall, we'd def stay again and appreciate the hospitality and location of this house.

Quirky beach cottage in a perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Blue Bird Cottage is perfectly located just north of Yachats with private steps right down to the immense beach with miles of walkability. It was impecably clean despite being a bit dated, but did have a wonderfully updated new shower. The layout of this cute little cottage is quirky though for sure; despite having 3 different sleeping areas and a living room, there was no place to curl up with a cup of tea or a good book that had a view of the ocean. The cottage definitely has direct views of the ocean, but the way it is structured makes it impossible to arrange the furniture to take advantage of them. This would not have been an issue in warmer weather, but in the winter it would have been nice. I can see how the deck would be amazing in warmer weather as well, and would give it another try maybe in the summer next time.

Wonderful views to relax

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at blue bird cottage for the first time in October. The house is very clean and cozy. The place is pretty well equipped and the downstairs bathroom is great. The kitchen was definitely workable . The front fenced off area was great for the dog and the beds slept very comfortably. Loved the back deck and views are awesome. The only problem we had was the tile floor in the kitchen. A couple of them aren’t quite level and I tripped on them and face planted and cut my lip. I’m only adding this because I want people to be aware of it. Otherwise, we’re definitely going to try to stay again.
