Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was great. It was clean and very comfortable and cozy. The view was not quit what we expected. The vegetation was overgrown and it was a little difficult to see the ocean. you could see it, but just barely. The ad stated that the bedroom upstairs had an ocean view, but it did not. It had a view of the neighborhood. The kitchen was well equipped, but could use a Keurig. all in all it was a great experience.

16 steps to main floor. Internet connection was spotty and TV went out frequently. We thought it would be closer to the beach. We still enjoyed our stay.

This was a great house with plenty of room for my entire family. Beautiful view of the ocean with an easy path to the beach. Everyone had a fabulous time! Will definitely come back again!

Would definitely stay here again! Right on the beach and an easy drive to Newport

Our husbands joined us. We cooked every night at the house. The setting on the Oregon coast offers a great view and easy beach access. It was a great time.

House was amazing over all. Location, size of house, and clean/welcoming. Older house in need of fixing up. Shower downstairs leaking, running toilets, mostly just wear and tear. Fridge had old blood in it from meat. I cleaned it. We really did enjoy the house. I would stay again. Don't want nothing to perfect for us to ruin. Lol. Also, very comfortable beds and master shower. You can definitely fit alot of people in house comfortably. Thank you

Property was good

With a fully furnished basement with a Large Game room with a pool table and a large upstairs common area with a large deck and beautiful views of the ocean, this property was well worth the price. Side Note - As of 4/23/23 there were enough coffee basket filters to make 2 years worth of coffee, so no need for more filters if reading this in the year 2023. LOL.

The house was spacious and lovely. We enjoyed how easy it was to walk to the beach in minutes. We had one issue with a bathroom and the property owner was kind and very prompt at responding. We would stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Castle in the Sand, managed by Ocean Odyssey, for three nights in January. The whole experience was excellent. The home was well equipped and so perfectly cozy, it was just two of us and our doggies, so the home was HUGE. The property manager was extremely helpful with the check-in process (which was very easy). I would highly recommend this home in Waldport for your next visit to the area. The views and comfort can't be beat.

We came on a Thursday and left on a Tuesday. The house was clean and very well stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the king tides and spending time so close to the beach. We will be back!

The property was pretty and had okay amenities, what really impressed me, is upon arrival we had a few issues, and the property manager was on top of taking care of everything for us, and making sure our vacation went off without a hitch and that we were truly comfortable in our environment. I would recommend this property solely on how well the management company works with you and actually cares (plus they were local).

This home was very comfortable for our party which included grandparents, adult children and young children.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is spacious for a large group and was perfect for our stay. It has multiple decks and a short private walk to the beach behind the house. House was clean (bed linens could use improvement) and well stocked (kitchen could use more towels) and had plenty of seating and lounging space. We did have to use WD40 on the sliding doors to open them, as well as switch out the bbq as the first one wasn’t working properly. Overall, We would return and recommend.

This house was very clean, and very well stocked. We were prepared with lots of TP, paper towels, etc, but there was enough to get us through the weekend without getting into our stock. The kitchen was amazing--every pot and pan and gadget you can imagine, including a blender, griddle, storage containers, plenty of bowls, plates, glasses, silverware to use for a big crowd and have extras not in the dishwasher. The living room upstairs is comfy with beautiful couches and a wood burning fireplace. There was enough wood for 3 nights' fires, along with starters and matches. The pool table room was also very comfortable and fun for kids to watch movies in separate from parents upstairs. Decor was cute beachy, not overdone. It is a simple walk across the dunes to a huge, wide open beach, and a quick over the bridge trip to a large supermarket. We had a nice time at this house.

We had a great time this summer in waldport. This house had comfortable beds and a good layout for our two families (4 adults and 4 kids under 8). We love this section of the beach and have been to this area multiple times. The kitchen in this house was a little outdated - the dishwasher was very weak and not installed properly. I was bummed to realized there was no coffee left over from another group for the first morning. And it was missing a large crab pot or crab crackers. There were also no beach toys or beach chairs on site. Overall, we loved this vacation.

Down stairs was perfect for the kids as they played Pool, board games that were provided and even connected their Playstation 5 to the TV. My family already wants to return to this house again next year.

Pretty big house. Not to crowded for 4 families. We enjoyed the stay.

Our extended family enjoyed being able to spread out, play games, watch a movie, and play pool. The best part was the easy access to the beach. Just a short walk over the dunes and you’re right there! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Our friend group of 3 families had a great time at this property. Late spring early summer is always hit or miss on the weather and our trip was mostly rainy with good winds one of the days. But proximity to to ocean when the wind and sky were calm was perfect. This property is spacious enough and was fully stocked with everything we needed to hangout inside. View of the ocean from the side to side bay windows was awesome (note that you cannot see the immediate beach from the windows due to the dunes only the outlying water). Some of the other reviews mentioned cleanliness as an issue. The house was clean and tidy and well stocked. There did appear to be a drainage issue with a sink in the primary, one if the closet doors was unattached and in the back of the closet and the garbage disposal couldn't handle disposing very well but everything seemed reasonable for a rental and caused our group no distress. It has to be hard to maintain a spot constantly beaten by salt and sand. Personally had no issues with this property. But one notable and reason for only 4 stars is the "pool" mentioned in the advertisement. There is no pool on this property. There is however access to the community pool, for what I felt was a hefty additional fee per person. It is not on the property, private, or included. Also it is not always open. And when I inquired as to possible access prior to our arrival, the property management firm told me to "look up the phone number and call the pool because we didn't know that information." I felt the photos and advertisement read a little different and seemed to imply easy included access. Also felt that a management company should have all that info. But overall, the house is a nice place with a quite privet beach location and had all the things you would for a beach weekend with kids and friends. Would rent again.

The weather was cool and rainy so it was nice to have the pool table for entertainment. The game selection was not great. All of them were unusable . I usually bring some with me(22 years of yearly beach house rental) but due to the description, didn’t this time. The bbq was dirty but we baked our food instead of cleaning the bbq.

The lower level beds are so creaky some of us had to sleep on couches. When I spoke with them about this they offered a $250 refund but never credited my card. Now they aren't responding to my email or phone calls. Unprofessional rental company.

We had a great 5-day stay and wonderful family time at the Castle in the Sand! Watched the sunset from the deck and enjoyed the short walk to the beach.

Our family is coping with Huntingtons Chorea. We needed a place to just spend time with each other. Very happy with the home. We will go back to the area, during the summer, when we can enjoy the beach a little more.

We had a wonderful time at Castle in the Sand. This was a weekend trip with our kids, their spouses, and our new grandbaby... This house had plenty of room for all of us to spread out. It was relatively clean, other than some of the pans we pulled out to use. There is a gnat problem, but it didn't hinder our time together! Super access to the beach. It was a bonus that we had perfect weather. We hope to stay here again. Thank you!
