clean, conveniently located, unit could use an inventory.list, no can opener, wash clothes, sheets had holes in them???

Eveything we needed and wanted.

Great place to stay! My husband, sister and her boyfriend stayed at this cute cottage. We enjoyed clamming in the bay and surf fishing on the beach. Definitely will be coming back in the future!

Nice house. Could be cleaner with more comfortable beds.

It was clean, comfortable and staff was helpful with a lock out situation

Rental was clean, cheerful, spacious. Door code didn't work and had some trouble getting customer service on the phone while standing out in the rain, but that was the only glitch. I'd stay there again.

Definitely was amazing, relaxing, and everything we could of hoped for. The beach was just 5 minute walk and it felt so private out there with almost no one nearby. If you have a dog like us then this is a spot for them also!

Beautiful, cozy home with comfortable beds, and wonderful views of the bay and bridge!

We enjoyed our stay. When we first arrived there was a funky smell in the home but after some Febreze and time, it went away. I'm not sure if it was dirty mop water or the furniture and rugs just needed freshening. Otherwise, the home was clean and exactly what we needed for our week-long stay. It was well appointed with everything we needed to cook, do laundry, etc. I was nervous when reading the reviews that we wouldn't be happy with the place but it seems that everything has been taken care of! It's not a beachfront property but the bay is just a short walk away and we spent a lot of time there during low tide. The town of Waldport is just a short drive away. There were 2 of us on our stay. I would say this is a good place for about 4. More than that, it would feel crowded. Overally, we were pleased and would return in the future!

Enjoyed our stay, good location, quiet and perfect for a get away.

We had a baby that is crawling and the perigo flooring was obvious that it hadn't been cleaned. Looked for a swiffer to quickly clean...and no cleaning pads. The rug pictured...its straw and it was filthy! Again crawling baby crawled on it...and was covered with black and dog hair. So I pulled out the vacuum to try to pick up the dog hair. The black futon was full of dog hair and sand....not from us! The beds were very uncomfortable and cheap mattresses. The cabinets and the front door had visible repetitive hand touching black...so i cleaned them with my clorox wipes. This house needs major touching up for the price we paid. The baseboards are filthy! I understand that people can be rough with others things. But when you are charging $900+ for 4 nights...the dishes and the bedding could be upgraded easily. The stove has only two working burners. Take the time to detail your place! Its worth doing. Also the bbq was pathetic. You are better off just not mentioning it. The hose is also broken like it was stated in a rating after I already booked this place.

Above average home for a vacation rental; it does need a new dishwasher and stove, and the "sheets" to cover the furniture for the dog were absolutely no where to be found (were supposed to be in a basket in the living room). If we had known the tv would not work for Netflix etc., we would have brought our ROKU - that needs to be mentioned in the property listing. We had a multitude of issues with the housekeeping and property management. Almost NO towels (3 for a place that sleeps 5!); no washcoths or hand/face towels; my terry cloth bath mat was frayed and literally TOSSED on the shower rod; the dishwasher was full of clean dishes (in my experience, the dishwasher is EMPTY when a new renter arrives - especially given the six hour turnaround time the property has) so at first we wondered why there were so few dishes! There were a complete lack of instructions for the TV, Shower (I'd never pulled DOWN on a tub faucet for the shower to come on before!), washer (we learned to push and turn to just the right spot to start it); water hose outside leaked everywhere and should have been tossed out/replaced years ago - not to mention the water faucet itself outside broke and the water ran CONTINUOUSLY from 3:00 pm - 8:00 am the next day - after we reported the problem at 3 pm....the owner's water bill will certainly be affected! Not to mention the flooding in the garage that must have occurred as a result. On our 4th or 5th day, we discovered ratty 2 pages stapled together in a basket on the BACK of the top of the refrigerator (dining options - we had wondered if there were any restaurant recommendations) by the time we discovered them we had only 2 more nights left. To summarize - we loved the area, the home itself was certainly adequate but would NEVER rent another property via Meredith Lodging again - they are really below average for a property management company.

Rental decorated with beachy theme. Bedrooms at opposite end of cottage provided privacy and separate space. Well stocked with kitchen and bedding items. Great view of Alsea Bridge and bay. Excellent directions and info on all tech/TV. Only negative was that it was hot when we visited, no air conditioning though many ceiling fans which did a good job but an extra portable fan would have been welcome. Overall though a clean bright place well located for our needs. We will definitely book again!

Excellent

This property was great. My husband and I stayed there with two of our friends. Each room had it’s own bathroom with showers and they were on opposite ends of the house which was nice to have a little privacy. It is right across the street from the bay and a very short walk to the ocean. There is a restaurant/bar right across the road in the hotel. They had great appetizers and even better Long Island ice teas. The house had everything you would need and it was perfect for two couples. The only down side was that we could not check in to the house until 5. This is my first time renting a house so this may be the standard but it was a little inconvenient. Other than that I highly recommend this house and would definitely rent again.

Clean property. Didn’t expect to look out at hotel parking lot, however. Was a little disappointed with the view but fir the price, not bad.

Loved the house! Quiet location with a good view. The house has everything you need!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is cozy, and we enjoyed the view of the bay. I could look out and spot my husband and son pulling up crabbing nets as they moved from the bay towards the ocean in the boat. You cannot see the ocean, but the bay suits us fine for a view. Very nice. A fairly close walk to the beach-about a half mile, but the weather was nice, so my walk was enjoyable. The telescope setting in front of the window doesn't work-just for looks. But the view is great. Your tucked in close to homes next to you, but the neighbors are all nice. We cooked all crab out side in the driveway and set up our lawn chairs we brought, made drinks and enjoyed our selves. All the icky crab remains went to the big dumpsters where we were storing our boat, so no crab remains were left at the house. We would stay here again. Hopefully we shall see you again next year for our annual crabbing trip.

The furnishings were very nice and the beds were comfortable. The house was bright and inviting, super clean and had everything we needed and more. Just a short walk to the bay and the Alsea bridge, and a short drive to the beach. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Amanda's cottage to our friends and will definitely return for another stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved Amanda's cottage !! Perfect spot in the bay and inbetween so many great spots to visit. The only thing that we had complaints about were the sheets and beds upstairs. The beds were old and need to be replaced. We are sheet snobs and they need to invest in better sheets. But We would definitely come back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view of the Alsea Bridge and Bay and the short distance to the beach made the property an ideal location. First impression wasn't good with the peeling paint and bird **** on the deck. Inside the decor is colorful and the spaces are great. The beds were comfortable, but the bed pillows were flat and the linens need replaced. The kitchen sink needs replaced or resurfaced. The window over the sink was really dirty. The kitchen was well stocked but the many chipped dishes were a turn off and the grater and several of the utensils are rusty. All the kitchen appliances were working but again are in need of updating. The bathrooms and bedrooms were clean, and we appreciated the stack washer and dryer. The baseboards and areas around the doorways need paint touch up. We stayed three weeks and loved the area. Amanda's Cottage has the potential to be a five star rental with a few updates.

The outside plant stickers are a nuisance but part of nature. Love how it was decorated. Excellent kitchen. Plenty of room. Excellent restaurant across the street. Very quiet neighborhood

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at Amanda's Cottage. We were delighted with the accommodations and will stay again if the opportunity arises. Being centrally located we enjoyed trips to Depoe Bay, Newport and Florence. I strongly recommend Tidal Raves in Depoe Bay for a whale watching lunch. Also great oysters meals at Zarbos in Newport and lunch at the Bridgewater in Florence. We had perfect weather to make our stay even nicer.

Reviewer Comments: We visited with our two children and they loved the upper level area with a bed for each. The house is bright and clean. Enjoyed the view of the bridge and walking in that area. A bit of a trek to beach but not too far. The only negative were bath linens were limited and worn. Also working with Meredith Lodging was not great, I felt like their customer service was lacking as we prepared for our trip.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First rental by Meredith but many over the years by Bayshore Rentals. Appears Meredith retains the high standard we expected from Bayshore Rental properties. Amanda`s cottage is comes with a view, beds very comfortable, kitchen and bathrooms supplied with everything needed. House is clean and in very good condition. Great vacation stay. Nothing negative at all. Meredith is a larger company and calling will get you to typical recordings but staff is friendly and professional.
