About this cottage rental
The Hermit Crab is a clean, warm and homey 3bd/2ba beach house with a fully stocked kitchen boasting both a living room and loft for socializing, games and movies. There is custom art throughout by a variety of Northwest artists. Just steps down the quiet Sunset Street is miles of pristine sandy beaches where young and old alike enjoy exploring tide pools, and collecting sea shells and more.
The stocked kitchen includes waffle iron, pancake griddle, blender, all size pots and pans, spices, condiments, teas, coffee beans and grinder and more. There is also a plenty of room for all your groceries in the walk-in pantry just off the kitchen.
Bathrooms are clean and stocked with bath towels, hand towels, wash rags, soap, lotion and a hair dryer. The upstairs bathroom has extra shelving so there is room for everyone's items.
The living room has plenty of seating with new leather couches and a comfy recliner centered around the gas fireplace and flat screen TV. The beautiful living room is surrounded by 2 stories windows that give a great open feeling and awesome views of the stars on those clear summer nights.
The open loft overlooks two stories of windows and the living room. It is stocked with games, books, videos, Wii, and a second flat screen TV.. This is a favorite hangout for kids and teens.
Outside the Hermit Crab there are lots of fun actiivies to take advantage of. Take a bike ride around the neighborhood on one of the 3 or 4 bikes ranging from child size to adult.
Play horse shoes along the lavender garden. Hang out on the back deck for refreshments and BBQ. Gather around the campfire in the evening to roast marshmallows, tell stories, sing songs or just enjoy the peace and tranquility of the crackling fire and ocean waves.
When your are ready to call it a night you can sleep like a baby in one of the new plush pillow top beds while the kiddos cozy up in the bunk room setup with 4 twin beds and giggle themselves to sleep.
This beach house was designed for fun and relaxation for all. Once you've experienced the Hermit Crab beach rental you'll want to come back for more!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. We loved the beach access just down the road and the house fit our needs perfectly. We would definitely stay again.

The house was spacious, and clean. A great spot for kiddos and a quick walk to the beach. A great beach to go to as it’s not that busy. The host was a pleasure to connect with. Would highly recommend!

Very nice house and it was nice to have all supplies

The house was just a short walk to the beach, had a nice fire pit area and wood provided for us to enjoy nightly campfires. The bikes were in working order and the neighborhood was a safe place to bike with the kids. There was plenty of room inside the house for the seven of us. The kitchen had everything we needed and the fact that there was a washer and dryer in the laundry area was great! We love the board games provided and the soft, plush carpet upstairs. My only complaint which you will never know until you book this place is that the check out rules include doing all of the laundry including all linens, bedding, and towels that you use except for one load before you leave. No one wants to have to do laundry on vacation and this was almost impossible to accomplish with seven guests staying here, meaning that almost all beds were used, before check out time. You are also required to not only load the dishwasher before you leave, but stay until its done and put the dishes away. UGGH! If their rules were like the rest of the places and just had you put all the dirty linens and bedding in the bathtub and load up the dishwasher and let it run, I'd love to come back :)

Amazing time and an absolutely beautiful location. The short walk to the beach made all the difference and the endless beach provided hours of entertainment. From soccer to football to jumping through the waves, and even a run on the beach! The pictures and memories will last and the joy this location brought will always be remembered! We will highly recommend this location and place to others!

We rented this house for my daughter and my two grandsons. It is an older home, but clean. Easy to contact the manager, Gina for any issues. She was quick to respond. My daughter just loved the singing frogs at night. The boys (10 and 13) loved the loft area - was a great hangout. Everyone stated their beds were comfortable. Check in was quick and easy. Overall, the kids would stay here again.

It is always wonderful to stay at the Hermit Crab. The house a welcoming feel that instantly makes you feel like you are at home. The house is so close to the beach you can hear the ocean and right when you arrive, step out of you vehicle and take that first breath of fresh ocean air you begin to relax. A perfect place to stay.

Our stay at Hermit Crab was great but too short. The beds were great. The grandkids loved the bunk beds. The kitchen was well supplied and stocked with spices. We enjoyed cooking out on the barbecue, playing horseshoes, and walking on the beach. We hope to come back one day.

Great house with fun outdoor space. We enjoyed the fire pit and horseshoe pit. It's a short 2 block walk to the beach. The kids loved the loft area with Wii and board games.

Our time at the Hermit Crab was amazing. The house and grounds were clean and comfortable. The beach is only 3 short blocks away, a truly relaxing space.

Great location just a block from the beach. The house was very clean and had what we needed. Has lots of room for guests if needed. The house and amenities were just average. Nothing wrong with anything just nothing's super special. Still was a good price in a good location.

Stayed for the weekend close to a friends' place for a wedding. Close to the beach, with some bikes for the kiddos.

Our family of four stayed with another family of four. The teens enjoyed the bunk room and playing Wii sports in the loft, while the adults relaxed in the living room or outside. The beach was super close and many times we had it to ourselves.

It was perfect for the four of us. Spacious enough. King bed was a little too soft for my taste, but queen was okay. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen with a variety of cooking utensils, pots and pans, bowls, and spices, as well as commonly used oil, sugar, etc. Instructions were thorough. The door locks were a little hard to understand at first. Gina was very efficient and quick to respond.

We loved the house. The beds were comfortable. The directions for using the house was very clear. Great stay!

The location was wonderful. It was a peaceful little community with a short jaunt to the beach! We spent many hours wandering the nearby beach without worrying about having to find parking or driving back to our “base camp”. The locals in the area were incredibly inviting and during the 4th of July celebrations on the beach, invited us to their nearby bonfires. It was our kid’s first 4th of July celebration (we are Canadians), and we couldn’t have hoped for a better place/ community to spend our time in.
When we first entered this property it surpassed our expectations. The online pictures just don’t this property justice! It was clean, spacious and accommodated our busy little family of 5 for our first trip out to the Oregon coast!
The property owner was very easy to converse with and provide quick replies to any questions I had.
We would recommend this property to any of our family & friends who are looking to visit the Oregon coast with the convenience of having a safe “base camp” to go to and from.

The Hermit Crab was the perfect place for our visit to the Oregon Coast. Gina was a wonderful host. Would absolutely stay here again.

The house was clean and comfortable. Great location! We come back to Nedonna beach every few years and this house is great. Super comfy beds, a fun loft to play games in, and just a short, easy walk to the beach. We had a great stay, and would stay again. Our only minor complaints were that there wasn’t shampoo/conditioner in every bathroom, the hand soap seemed watered down or something, and the toilet paper was like 1/2 ply. 😂 But overall we loved our stay!
5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and cozy, well stocked with everything we needed. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. We especially enjoyed the backyard firepit with its private surroundings. There were clear directions for the various TVs and tech stuff, something usually missing in vacation rentals. The owner was friendly and quick to respond to emails We would definitely stay here again.

My family and I loved our stay at the Hermit Crab. The house was clean, bright, and comfortable, with a well-appointed kitchen, soft beds, a great upstairs hangout space for our teens, and an adorable yard. The beach was an easy and pleasant two-block walk away. Gina's communication was excellent, and we all felt well taken- care of!

Everything was really nice with this house. Slept so good in the master bed. We want this mattress at our house! LOL! Really nice rental. Would recommend.

Great place for family and friends who love the beach and for fishermen. Place for boat and vehicles. Beds were a little soft but okay for most. Lots of amenities.
4.0
I loved this property. I think it best suits four adults & two school aged children due to stairs and seating for six comfortably in the living room & dining room. Sleeping was difficult initially due to warmth/lack of airflow. Ceiling fans would make it very comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent again with the right group.

Perfect location
The hermit crab was perfect for our vacation. The house was clean and comfortable, especially the amazing bed in the master bedroom! It was nice for the kids to have their space upstairs so they could sleep in in the mornings. Fire pit was also very nice feature and horseshoe pit. I loved the plants surrounding the house too. Our last morning we were visited by a deer who just hung out in the yard for hours.
The location was a perfect home base for the coast. Our travels extended from Astoria to Tillamook. The nearness of Rockaway beach was really nice as it is a quiet town with good restaurants and a few stores to peruse. We loved the beach! It was so quiet and peaceful, almost like it was our own personal secret beach. We also enjoyed how close crabbing fisheries were and spent a whole day catching crabs and taking breaks by running back to the house.
Thanks Gina for sharing this little peace of heaven with us!
