The place is cute, well equipped and has a beautiful view of the bay. Things youâll want to know: I donât advise anyone taller than 5â10â to stay here. The ceilings are very low and the shower is very petite. If you are planning a romantic time, just know that the bed is VERY creeky and loud. Also, there was no key in the lock box only a key pad on the door, which we couldnât figure out how to lock again when we were coming and going. So itâs cute, itâs quaint and very peaceful overall.
This place was everything i was hoping for. Was very comfortable and our view was great. Perfect location away from town but close enough to explore the surrounding beautiful area of Cape Meares and local creameries. Definitely a place we'd come back to.
Loved the unit. So cute and well equipped. The front deck was so nice for taking in the beautiful view. The fold out sofa was lumpy so I didnât try to use it as a bed, (snoring). The bed was very comfortable. We had a great stay!
We had originally come to the coast for hiking and whale watching but due to the cloudiness, we had to get creative. My husband, our puppy, and myself instead opted for clamming, renting tools from the Netarts Garden RV Park. Though mucky and chilly (and our lack of proper attire) we met so many kind and helpful locals, and we were able to harvest a few clams, cockles, and gapers. Though cleaning them was a quite intricate process, they all went very well in a beurre blanc sauce. The accommodations were very cozy and the view from the deck was beautiful.
Property Management Team was an excellent team to work with. Facility was clean and everything I needed. There were no surprises and was exactly what I expected.
Great chill spot. Met the cool neighbor Bill working on his house out back. Good communication with host. Great view from windows. Pretty darn close to the beach over in happy camp. My one disclaimer would be if your a light sleeper or are annoyed with noise from upstairs tenants than make note that itâs pretty loud at times. Probably just due to the construction but it worked out fine. Itâs just loud at times.
My wife and I went down for a couple of days crabbing, it was the perfect spot. Great view, clean, plenty of extra supplies, great bed. Even talking to Bill who was remodeling the house behind was fun. Will go again next year. Tim & Joyce, Deer Island, OR
Small but met our needs. Owner needs to supply a blanket. Had plenty of sheets and towels but no blankets. Other than that kitchen was well stocked. Nice to have a washer and dryer.
I stayed in the lower apt. with Boone, Ruby and Porter. Retro Retreat is very cozy and comfortable. The Kitchen is well stocked. The view is beautiful. The only negative is you can hear the people in the above unit moving around. This was not a big deal as they were pretty quiet. I was more concerned about my dogs disturbing them. I will definitely stay here again.
Wow, so sweet, great location and view. Everything you want in a place, well stocked, all working, clearly thoughtful owners . And not too much. Dont want to say it, but this place and the folks who run it are a little gold nugget!
We had a nice time staying here- very cozy getaway for my husband and I. Tv was great and heaters worked well. VERY hot water! A couple things to be aware of that I didnât realize from the listing- the close water access from the house is to a boat dock on the bay. Great if you want to go crabbing! But to get to the regular beach is a 10-15 minute walk, and you need to go back to the highway then turn down another road. We were also asked a sign a third party waiver which was fine, but I always prefer to know about that before booking a listing.
We have one complaint. The TV was nearly impossible to use. There are 5 different remotes and the instructions about how to use any of them donât match the remotes. We just wanted to look at some news a couple times and we couldnât even get the TV to come on, There was no channel guide to find anything. We called the host who came over and got the TV to come on finally but then there was no MSNBC news channel - only strange choices. The TV situation was very frustrating for us.
