Oceanfront Retreat - Meredith Lodging

Beautiful oceanfront house. This was our third time staying at this wonderful home.

Everything about the house, decor, furnishings and kitchen was absolutely fantastic! The ocean view and the information about the area, the Ghost Forest and all…wonderful.!

The house was beautiful, clean, and perfect location to beach with views for days! Jealous of that Starbucks machine in mint condition!! Kids were curious about the stories behind the marble collections? My only complaints were guest bathroom shower did not have hot water so everyone had to use ours…and PLEASE update the mattresses!!! Those Things are from 1985 when house was built!! Thanks for the memories and sharing your home with us!

The location can't be beat. Instant access to the beach, plus unrivalled views from the deck, the kitchen, and the living room. The house is also lovely and high-quality. The house was clearly a labor of love at some point, and it is beautifully designed and appointed. The only problem is the cooking capacity. Only two of the four stove burners (the small ones) worked reliably. And the main oven doesn't work. There's a secondary oven that we were able to get to work after some trial and error. Unfortunately, there was no notice of the stove/oven issues, so I didn't discover either until I was in the middle of getting dinner ready for our large family. If you want a beautiful, comfortable house with great views and beach access, then this is for you. But don't plan on cooking more than the bare minimum.

Pros: Location is perfect for neskowin beach access, beach quality was excellent and limited foot traffic. The house is in a gated community, expect to enter a gate code whenever you come and go. The view was amazing, eating in the front room felt like a fancy restaurant view. Furniture was very comfortable, I also liked the master bedroom bed was firmer. The hideaway was standard, the kids did well on it. Garage had a wonderful stock of beach items, lots of beach chairs, bikes, sand toys, etc. Kitchen was quite stocked with all sorts of appliances and devices, I almost needed a written guide to locate a pizza cutter and oven mitts, there were so many places to hide them. We loved doing our laundry as needed, the machines worked great and were clean and well stocked. Cons: Wood in the garage was damp and unusable. No outdoor shower, 2 spigots were available for rinsing feet. It was a little difficult to rinse the kids Extra air mattress with expandable frame didn’t hold air, time to get rid of it. The house was humid/hot the first afternoon and most windows don’t open. Plumbing issues! Master toilet clogged at least 3 times, slow to drain throughout our stay. Appliances such as microwave and oven were QUITE dated, 2 ovens were there but I wasn’t able to turn one on. I had to double the cook time for anything microwaved. The coil burners on the cook top were worn out and we had to fiddle with them everytime we cooked to create a connection for heat conduction.
