Amazing location

We had a wonderful stay! It was just the right size for my small family of 4 with an amazing location to walk to the lookout, farmers market and many cute shops. It was a short drive to the beach entrance. We saw amazing sunsets and even a seal. The house had everything we needed.

Love this place!

This is our 4th or 5th time staying here and the location never disappoints. Whether the sky is blue and ocean is calm or there is a huge storm, the view is always incredible! And they've updated the kitchen to add a dishwasher, making this place perfect!

Cute upgraded kitchen/living/dining area. Patio and view of ocean/inlet gorgeous. Disappointed in bedrooms esp#2 really? Locked closet, various tv type trays to set down my suitcase; no chest of drawer..washer dryer unit in bedroom seems to have run over onto carpet in the past..very old carpet, but maybe owner plans to slowly remodel.Love the town and especially The Drift. Great burgers and pizza!Neighbors have 3 huge dogs which use their front deck as a toilet. They hose it off between the houses, but you cant always choose your neighbors.1st time ever been to a rental with no free coffee! Thankfully Yachats has one driveup.

Cozy location on a cold, rainy and windy weekend.

This property provided us a perfect, relaxing weekend. Very clean and well-appointed house. Perfect location for restaurants, shops and trails. Highly recommend the Drift-Inn for dinner and breakfast. The house location is just a short walk from the 804 trail. Very cool watching the waves and tidal changes at the mouth of the Yachats River.

Don't Miss out on the Magic!

The highlight here is the location, overlooking the Yachats River flowing in the Pacific, and minutes from Cape Perpetua, Thors Well, etc. It's got the most beautiful view I've ever had on vacation. And a lovely beach to play on to boot. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention the charming accomodations. A cozy and comfortable fit for my family of four, with all the amenities you need. The neighbors are welcoming and the town is so charming. We will be back ASAP!
