Was not Happy about No Internet.
We had a good stay. Place was very clean and the pool and hot tub were great . The only real issue is we had NO INTERNET- we couldn’t watch Tv or use our phone . They told us how to login and how to get on the Internet, but we had no Internet and it wasn’t until I went and asked them that they finally told me oh the Internet’s been down for a while now. We paid a bit of money for this place and no internet was very disappointing

We stayed in a studio cabin which was small but perfect for a family of four who is going to be out doing activities most of the time. It was quite new and spotlessly clean. The cabins have their own wifi which was also great. The bed was a bit on the soft side but that’s all personal preference. The only knock is that the shower had really poor water pressure (cabin 98). The clubhouses had showers as well and the pressure was great. Overall, we would love to stay there again.

We had an excellent stay in our studio cabin. The staff was very friendly and provided us with extra towels and coffee filters. Beach was a short walk away and the indoor pool and hot tub was nice and clean. Would highly recommend.

A couple of days before our stay I called to see if it was possible for us to be near my sister’s cabin and they said that there was not one available. Everyday that I was there I walked passed an empty cabin right across from my sisters cabin. They were not accommodating.

Beautiful place to stay but the cabin wasnt so clean and had a smell. We stayed here last year and it was perfect everything was clean and nice. Not sure what happened this time around. Very friendly staff. I think there needs to be better communication on whats available when you stay there and if the cabins have a kitchen or not. We will definitely be back again.

Booking
I rented a cabin and a RV spot we were not close. No Wi-Fi so we couldn’t communicate. We were crammed into a spot super small spot so every time we wanted to cook I had to bring everything in the truck to the cabin and it was a lot of work. I wish when you book a cabin there was some way of booking a rv spot close by.

For us, a touch cramped. With so many RV campers there, we choose against using amenities. We knew about no housekeeping but couldn’t a bed at least be made for arrival? Our cabin too close to entrance, took away from a private nature experience. TV remote did not work. Cleaning tools hung too close to dinner table. Nice wood and clean. This could be a lot of fun for families that like the planned activities. Just not a fit for our private couple’s getaway.
It was really quiet at night. But, we paid more for a bigger cabin and we though it was a nicer cabin. It wasn't. The other cabins were way newer. Our more expensive cabin was noticeably older, smelled, couch was torn up, need was not a queen as advertised but a small full with a twin bunk above, floor was really dirty, old musky cabin smell. I don't know what the cleaning staff cleans but it wasn't the floor. I wouldn't of minded the cabin if we didn't pay more for it and if it actually looked like it was worth the price. Definitely not worth what we paid for THAT cabin. The others surrounding it, i would pay for.

Cozy cabin and I was able to plug my Tesla in
Comfy, cozy, clean cabin!! Great for 2 people, but it'd be pretty close quarters for 4. Super friendly and nice ranger at check-in, too! There was also a 110 electrical outlet by the front door so I was able to plug my Tesla in overnight and get a few charge percents, which is a great help in this supercharger desert.

Great stay!
For the second year in a row, we stayed at Whalers Rest. The cabin was delightful, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The weather could have been better but what can one expect from the Oregon coast in December. We loved it and will be back.

The cabin itself was in great condition. The beds were sufficient but not the most comfortable, and the pillows provided were very thin. The check-in/check-out kiosk was rarely staffed, so it took a while to get checked in since we had to wait for someone to come to the kiosk. I did not have phone service at Whalers Rest. Overall we had a very nice, relaxing stay. The cabin was very clean, and the kitchen and bathroom were great. The staff, when there, was very friendly and helpful.

The TV in the cabin had the wrong remote control therefore we could not watch TV the first night because the ranger station was closed so we had to wait till the next morning. The floors were very dirty. The bathroom shower had some like mold stuff we had to disinfect. And I have stayed in a cottage in the past and did not have this type of issue. This was a TT cabin that we stayed in although I don’t think it should’ve made any difference and with the Covid, I think their Should have been extra care taken in cleaning. When we departed we had everything cleaned with bleach and the floors mopped so it was ready for the next occupant.

Nice location and friendly staff. Cabins are pretty close together which makes it awkward when your neighbors aren't friendly. Overall had a nice time
It's close enough to the beach, but across the busy and dangerous 101. Also, the studio cabins are SMALL. We were OK knowing we didn't have a cooktop in the cabin and were prepared to grill everything, but our grill ignitor button didn't work. So we had to improvise and use matches with the gas on. All in all, it was fine. But I likely won't stay there again.
