peaceful and cozy

I've stayed here before, and it's a really nice place. Beds comfortable, and the kitchen-living room space has great windows with an ocean view--although on this trip Cape Meares was foggy for most of the weekend. I would highly recommend it! If you have any specific needs for cooking or kitchen use, I would encourage you to send questions ahead of time. This kitchen is reasonably well equipped (especially compared to some others I've stayed at) but it is always wise to ask!

Great Location, beautiful home

We loved our stay here. The neighborhood was quiet, and the view from the great room was beautiful. The home is lovely. It's laid out really well, is very clean, and comfortable. We had difficulty getting into the house on check-in. Our code didn't work. We had to use the key to get in and out and had a lot of difficulty with the deadbolt slipping when we tried to lock and unlock the door. The mattresses also should be replaced; they sagged in the middle.

Nice but…

The property was nice and clean and location was great! But it was not well stocked. We had a group of 6 and there was only one kitchen trash bag, a tiny dish soap and very minimal seasonings. We had to make a trip back to Tillamook to restock basics which was really frustrating for a short get away. Also the tv was unusable other than very old VHS, no cable and a few apps that wouldn’t load. It was a bummer for kids in a rainy day. With a few upgrades it would be a lovely spot.

Wonderful home close to the beach

This is a very nice home located in a quiet area a few blocks from the beach. The home was very clean and had all the essentials we needed. The view of the ocean from the deck is wonderful. We also enjoyed watching the pelicans as they flew around the water.

Perfect in every way

Heron’s Nest was perfect for relaxation and comfort. The house is lovely, the view so pretty, and the back yard peaceful. The community is small and quiet. This was our first visit to Cape Meares. My pre-school grandson wanted to come back before we left. He is right. We will return.

Good location for visiting the Oregon Capes

Quiet neighborhood, clean 2 bedroom house. Worked great for 2 couples. Well furnished, but did not have laundry detergent or Kleenex Has a television, but could not connect to anything to watch. Needs instructions for guests.

Loved the house and neighborhood but …

The house was lovely, the neighborhood was great. We called for assistance with the TV and the technician that came wore his shoes in the house they were muddy and left muddy prints on the carpet that we had to clean up. It was really disappointing that he wasn’t aware of the no shoe policy in the house we didn’t recognize the mud on the shoes until after he left.

Personal Beach

First family trip to the Oregon Coast! Splendid! We loved, loved our stay in Cape Meares and felt like we had our own personal beach. The home was lovely. Went to Short Beach, the lighthouse, Munson Creek Falls, the Blue Heron, and Tilamook Creamery. Enjoyed it all!

As advertised on the the website

The house was as advertised on the website to a T . Great location and very comfortable. Great view of the ocean from the deck. A short walk to the beach. The property management could pay closer attention to the cleanliness. Although it wasn’t bad, it could have been better. Will be back again.

Wonderful Week at The Heron's Nest

Perfect setup for a family of 4-5 w/ two bedrooms, one of which has three beds including a bunk. We had a fabulous week and highly recommend The Heron's Nest. It's a great place to disconnect from the world and reconnect w/ family. No cell coverage means limited phone use for the kids! yay! (but the Wi-Fi coverage is great if you need it). Please note this is in a relatively remote location so you need to bring all of your food -- closest store or restaurant is about 15 minutes. Well stocked kitchen allowed us to cook three great meals a day.

Perfect Oregon coast getaway

This is the cutest little coastal neighborhood tucked away in Tillamook Bay. We were here two nights: roasted marshmallows, saw deer and bunnies, walked to Cape Meares (lighthouse, octopus tree), strolled the beach, played in the sand, kayaked on the lake, BBQ'd dinner and ate out on the deck listening to the ocean. We had fun teaching my 5-yr old about VHS tapes which all worked great :-) This place has everything you need!

Great house; mediocre management

This property is in a beautiful spot and is basically as described in the listing--it's a great place to spend a relaxing vacation on the Oregon Coast. That said, the property management leaves a bit to be desired. The problem started when I didn't receive a code to get into the property. I sent the manager a message through VRBO about 36 hours before the beginning of the reservation and didn't get a response. Then I got a text message (purporting to be from the manager) saying that the house had been cleaned. I responded to the text, asking about the code, but still didn't get a reply. It took about 45 minutes on the phone with VRBO (a few hours before we were going to leave town) to sort out that mess. Once we got to the property, there were only a few small problems. First, the instructions we got from the manager contained the wrong wifi password. I again responded to the text message asking about the wifi, but received only silence in response (eventually we discovered a small piece of paper in the dining room with the correct password). The property was advertised as including a DVD player. There were actually 2 DVD players, both of which were broken. While mildly annoying (given the price we paid), these problems certainly didn't prevent us from having a great time. I'm left with the impression that this is a pure investment property, with contract management that isn't particularly focused on the guest experience. That's not to say you shouldn't rent this place--it's comfortable and the location can't be beat. But if you have a choice between this and a comparable property that's owner-managed, go with the other one.
