Wave watching at it's best

Beachfront home in Gleneden Beach (quite stretch of beach 1 mile South of Lincoln City). This sweet, shingled cottage puts the ocean front and center, with an elevated, panoramic view from every window of the great room. You’ll find it easy to kick back and relax in the plush living room complete with wall-mounted flat screen TV/DVD/Blu-ray, gas fireplace and the ever-present sound of surf. You’ll enjoy watching for whales from the dining table and seeing pelicans and other seabirds glide past as you do the dishes in the fully equipped kitchen. Even the laundry room has a fantastic ocean view! The two queen bedrooms are on the quieter eastern side of the home. You’ll love the sunny, private courtyard entryway, and the western deck is transparent but wind-screened, with dining furniture and Adirondack chairs. The access to beautiful Gleneden Beach is right next to the driveway, so you can wave to your guests from the porch as they run down to the water. Gleneden Beach puts you between Lincoln City and Depoe Bay and Newport for some wonderful day trips, but you may just enjoy walking along the ocean’s edge and exploring the town of Gleneden Beach. Golf and a world-class spa are nearby at Salishan, a coffee-house/wine bar called the Red Roof and delicious dining at the Side Door Cafe. Come fill your eyes and spirit with the beauty of Gleneden Beach with a stay at Kristy’s Kottage! We work extra hard to sanitize every surface and have contact-less check in.

Please avoid leaving a single night gap during Spring Break.

Amazing location, comfy beach house

Everything was as advertised, 5 stars, highly recommend this property! Side Door Cafe & Pelican Brewery are very close and were great. Home was ideal for just the two of us, took walks on the beach every day and enjoyed the ocean sounds all night.

Great little spot

We enjoyed the stay very much. The view was amazing and it was easy to access and check-in was seamless. The only things we needed and didn’t have was pizza cutter, an ice cream scoop and Kleenex - I mean if you’re not crying, eating pizza and ice cream are you even having a girls weekend?! We would definitely stay here again!

Great spot on the coast

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute, clean home on the coast. The access next door is steep so some people may need to find a different access point but there are many. Deck is great but there are stairs to get to it if you can't do stairs. Great windows to sit by and read on rainy days.

Tremendous ocean view

Great escape for my husband and me to celebrate our birthdays. Cottage was immaculate and equipped with everything we needed. Front row seats for wave watching couldn’t have been better, and the gas fireplace kept us cozy. Being in our early 70s the beach access was too tricky, but we drove to easier access and had a lovely walk. Fantastic dinner at Side Door Cafe. We’d definitely like to return!!

Great ocean watching

This was a very clean home, with chairs set up to watch the waves all day. The gas fireplace kept us toasty and we had fun with a vintage (1981 - is that vintage now?!) Trivial Pursuit game. We would have started towels but missed where the soap was available, and we weren't able to sit outside unfortunately (no chairs - although it was pretty windy anyway). Loved being able to just walk down to the beach and enjoy our quiet time together.
