"Loved our visit. Great sunsets, nice to soak in the tub walk the beach, ample rooms to lounge and make great dinners."

Manager Response: I'm glad you were able to stay at Pirates Lookout. I hope you got to see some whales out in the ocean and the eagles that fly around the deck. Come again soon!

"We enjoyed this place very much. Great location, great views. water pressure in main shower was a little weak however. be prepared for the hike up the stairs from the beach... whew...
"

Manager Response: Come again soon!

"Property was an excellent place to catch up with family over the long weekend. House was clean, well-furnished, and had a well-appointed kitchen. Views are incredible. Close beach access. Hot tub was lovely."

Manager Response: This is a great house and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

"We have stay here every year! The management team is great and very responsive. "

Manager Response: Happy to have you come again and again!!

"I am NEVER disappointed at this lovely home. We took a new couple with us this trip and they loved it as much as we do. This home as our friend stated has some much character. That's exactly how I feel. The views are hard to put in words it's just so beautiful. Thanks A-1 for another amazing getaway!"

Manager Response: We love having you guys stay every year! I hope you are able to spot the Bald eagles, they fly around the deck and are a beautiful sight!!

"We had 2 families with a total of 5 teenagers daty in this house. Plenty if room and the house was well equipped with all you need. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a house with amazing views and easy beach access. Thanks A-1 Beach Rental, for making this a Christmas trip we will always remember. "

Manager Response: We would love to have you come again, glad you enjoyed!

"The location was great, isolated from 101 traffic and the most amazing ocean view. The house is older which I didn't mind, but they beds weren't the most comfortable. The bedroom are split between three floors, providing privacy, but old house sound carries. "

Manager Response: Thank you for staying at Pirates Lookout. It is a older house, however well taken care of by the owners. Warm and cozy and large enough for a great family get together.

"Place was fantastic and will rent it again!!"

Manager Response: Hi Marianne, Thank you for the nice review!

"This is the 3rd time I have stayed at this beach house! We love it. The deck and view are amazing and it’s close to town. The house is always clean and in good order. But this year we had an issue with the coffee pot. Needs to be replaced. "

Manager Response: Thank you for staying and I will check into that coffee maker. Lovely to have you come back again!

"This house was perfect for us! It does have alot if stairs which was fine for my spouse and kids but for my parents that are older it had a room at the normal level which that was perfect. The view of this house is spectacular! They have the deck well equipped. We were blessed with good weather so it made our stay that much better. It does have private access to the beach but it is alot of stairs so be prepared for a good work out. Overall we had a great stay! Would rent again."

Manager Response: Thank you for the nice review, Carmen! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay!

"We enjoy this beautiful home so much. It was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen is so well organized and stocked you could spend a holiday there and have everything you needed to prepare a meal. I appreciate all the effort that's put into making this home so comfortable for a worry free getaway. This is our family's go to place. We all just LOVE it!"

Manager Response: Hi Kimberley, So glad you enjoyed your stay with us so much!

"If it's clear out, you simply won't find a better view of the Oregon coast than this rental property with a huge deck and plenty of chairs. We had 8 people staying there, and 6 more came to visit during the day. Plenty of room to spread out. Great views from most rooms in the property. Steps down to the ocean for private beach access, along with ample parking made this the perfect place to stay! We will return."

Manager Response: I'm glad that you had a great time. The house is licensed with the city for 10 people max.

"Beautiful home at Pirates look out! We have stayed several times before. We love the location, especially the beach and access."

Manager Response: Happy to have you stay again!

"The definition of magical is beautiful or delightful in such a way as to seem removed from everyday life.

That's exactly what it's like to stay in this lovely home. The views are spectacluar! The family all gathered on the deck and viewed the whales! We played ping pong, chess and enjoyed meals all while taking in the view. We played ball on the beach and explored the tide pools. All the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to eat in and a grocery store just minutes away. Our family LOVED every minute of staying at this wonderful home. I gave this rental five ***** stars and would give more if available! Thanks for sharing your home with our family."

Manager Response: Hi Kimberly, We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review, and we hope to see you again in the future!

"The beautiful view of the ocean and the spacious deck were the best!!! The house is older but very well maintained. We would return again. "

Manager Response: Hi Dolores, Thank you for leaving such a nice review!

"So nice to have 2 gathering spaces, a family room and a living room. Lots of space, each with a tv for separate viewings. Dining area in between which connects with openness. Downstairs is another ping pong play area with bed-s for the kids. Bathroom on each level. Cute country bedroom on main level. Our bonus was the upstairs, berth type bedrooms (reminded me of those I imagine being for the captain on an old ship) completely done in various bead board panels. Very cool !!
One can see or hear the ocean from everywhere. Big deck. 2 or 3 broken chairs (A-1 will fix) Nicely stocked kitchen. Everything working.
But, for me the best part were the tidepools. We found lots of collectible shells and lots of non collectible amazing living creatures.



"

Manager Response: Hi Leo, Really happy to read this review and hear about how much you guys enjoyed Pirates Lookout. Hope to have you stay with us again!

"My family stayed at the Pirates Lookout for 5 nights. The views from the large deck and hot tub overlooking the beach are breathtaking! This was the type of relaxing vacation we all needed. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you."

Manager Response: I'm glad you had a restful vacation at Pirates Lookout. I hope you were able to see the Bald eagles when you were there.

"Great home for views of the Ocean! Home was perfect for our group - room for everyone. Well stocked kitchen and the hot tub was a bonus. The picture doesn't do justice to the views!"

Manager Response: Come back again soon, we loved having you!

"The home was wonderful for our family “Celebration of Life.” The back deck facing the ocean is marvelous!

Guests should know the path down (stairwells) to the sand & shore is very steep, w/a ladder affixed at bottom, to a stone wall 7-8 feet above the sand. It’s safe for those steady on their feet�� "

Manager Response: I'm so happy you loved your stay at Pirates Lookout. That view from inside and out on the deck is so great for whale watching, sunsets and storm watching. The path to the beach stairs is nicely black topped. The bottom tread of the stairs is usually easily managed but can change if the tide changes the sand height. Thanks for staying.

"A great house, on a bluff, right on the ocean. Lovely views from the large deck and chairs, and hot tub. A long (105 steps but well maintained) stairway down to a super fine beach. All 9 of us (ages 9 to 79) had fun."

Manager Response: I'm happy you loved that big oceanfront view . Several adirondack chairs and a picnic table overlooking the ocean make it extra nice for beachfront meals or lounging. I'm happy you all had fun and want to say thankyou for staying.

"We all had a very good time and the weather cooperated with us."

Manager Response: Glad you had a great time. Love to have you back again!

"Wonderful home, location, everything!!"

Manager Response: Happy to have your stay again!

"We had a great time staying here, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals for our group . The view was amazing , the stairs to the beach were a bit to much for the grandparents in the group but the parents and kids were fine. The kids loved the upstairs room with the deep window benches . And that view"

Manager Response: I'm so happy you loved your stay and that big oceanfront view at Pirates Lookout. The window benches and view from that vantage point are extra fun with storms . Well stocked and Sparkly Clean are the top goals. Thanks to All and hope to see you for another fun stay.

"It was very spacious and loved the dinning table as we all were able to sit and play games and eat. We did notice some dishes that were not clean in cupboards. All in all a great weekend. "

Manager Response: Thanks so much for the nice review of Pirates Lookout. Tough to beat that big oceanfront view from just about everywhere in the house. Thanks for the heads up on the few dishes that were put away dirty . I'm on it and will be careful to check each clean. Thanks to All you couples for staying at Pirates Lookout.

"As always we had an amazing stay. The houses are well kept and A1 staff are always very helpful Can’t wait to come back. "

Manager Response: Thanks for such a great report on your beach stay at Pirates Lookout. Hope to see you again next year.

"Great ocean view"

Manager Response: I'm so happy you loved your stay at Pirates Lookout and that great view. Thanks so much for staying.

"WE HAD A VERY GOOD STAY. THE HOUSE WAS OAVERALL WELL MAINTAINED. THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND EASY TO WORK WITH. WE LIKED THE BIG DECK AND VIEW FROM THE HOUSE. TOTAL STEPS TO BEAVH WAS 105,BUT NO ONE HAD A PROBLEM WITH, WAS REST STOPS.THE HOT TUB WAS CLEAN AND WELL MAINTAINED. LOCATION WAS GOOD. WE WOULD BOOK WITH A-1 BEACH RENTALS AGAIN."

Manager Response: So happy you loved your stay at Pirates Lookout! Well maintained and super clean are the top goals. Thanks so much for staying.

"From making the reservation to finishing our stay at Pirates Lookout, the VRBO group made this easy and accommodating. The property and house exceeded our expectations. It's a lovely place with a great view. When there was an issue that needed attention, the owner came immediately to take care of it, even though it was minor. Everything was very pleasant and enjoyable for all seven of the group. I look forward to using this home again in the future."

Manager Response: A1Beachrentals works hard to make sure the process and accommodations are wonderful at Pirates Lookout! A quick response for any help needed and sparkly clean are the Top Goals! Thanks so much for staying.

"Beautiful home with all the amenities (and more) you would need for a few days or weeks on the Oregon Coast. This home offers gorgeous views of the ocean from a private deck. Or, relax in the hot tub after a fun day on the beach to relax those muscles.

Due to the property being on an elevated stretch of the beach, you will be required to take several steps down to the beach (not for the faint at heart). One note, is there is a ladder at the final portion of the stairs you will need to traverse to access the beach. This is due to a sea-wall protecting the hillside and properties above.

Once on the beach you will have access to miles coastline and several rock formations and tide pools right our in front of the homes property.

Bedrooms are nice with queen beds in most. The main living areas are separated with two sitting areas (living rooms) on either side of the home. This is great in case you have people in your party who prefer TV and others who prefer books.

Unless you are nervous, or consider stairs a nemesis, I consider this a fun place for all ages. "

Manager Response: What a beautiful review and great description of Pirates Lookout. I'm so happy you enjoyed that big oceanfront view and the house layout. Tell the group "Thanks so much for staying"!

"The beech was beautiful! It was foggy and windy , cold but who can control that ? Right? I wish we would have had some throw blankets to curl up in. Hard to bring those when flying. That’s my only complaint. House was well equipped otherwise."

Manager Response: I'm so happy you enjoyed Pirates Lookout. Thanks for the Heads Up on throw blankets for cool and windy weather. I'm on it. Most of all, thanks for staying!

"Great memories were made during our stay here! "

Manager Response: Ah, so happy you had a nice time at Pirates Lookout. Thanks for staying.

"We had a great time, great views, lots of rooms and the grandkids loved sleeping in the upstairs areas. Karen was very helpful.We have rented from A-1 before and will do so in the future"

Manager Response: I'm so happy you enjoyed Pirates Lookout. It's a wonderful family home and the view is tough to beat. Thanks for bringing your family to Pirates Lookout.

"Overall, a great rental. Just be aware that the bedroom with the queen and two twin beds is in the basement with very little natural daylight. If we had known that, we wouldn't have booked. Would have also been nice to have soap in the showers. Only one dish towel in the kitchen for 5 we had to wash it a few times. And we had to use washclothes from the bathrooms for wiping things down. Internet worked well, very clean, and view of the ocean was fantastic. We would recommend to others, but warn them about the basement."

Manager Response: Thanks for your feedback on Pirates Lookout. That big oceanfront view is tough to beat. I also appreciate your comments on how clean everything was. That's the # 1 goal. The other 3 bedrooms have some wonderful daylight with plenty of windows. The basement was finished in tile and wood with a nice large window that opens for a cool breeze. It's a good space for kids and hopefully "sleeping in". The other 1/2 of the basement is ping pong which is also a fun bonus after a day on the beach or time in the hot tub. I'll find out what happened on the kitchen dish towels and get a quick solve. There should always be plenty. Thanks for staying.

"A pleasant and accessible home with great living spaces and an incredible deck.
We enjoyed the home, the ease of access and cleanliness. The rooms and beds were comfortable, and while the kitchen wasn't large, it was well-stocked and had everything we needed to enjoy homemade meals.
The owners provided clear explanations and communications, and were very responsive when we had questions. We really enjoyed the opportunity to spend the weekend here! "

Manager Response: We are so pleased that you had a wonderful time at favored PIRATES LOOKOUT! Perfect location, huge deck for the best panoramic views both north and south, clean and spacious. Yes, the kitchen isn't huge but being centrally located for dining helps. Hope to see you again! - Lynn

"My daughters,grandkids and I had an absolutely amazing time at the Pirates Lookout. The house was everything we needed, plus more. The view and deck were superb. We had absolutely beautiful weather. The only shock was the beach access, having to climb down a ladder for the final few feet, proved a little challenging with a toddler. I would highly recommend this be disclosed in the description of the property rental information. We were able to make it work, with 2 adults present, to hand off my granddaughter, who is 1, both going down and going back up. Otherwise, the house is well equipped with everything to make our stay perfect. We will look forward to future stays here."

Manager Response: I'm so happy you had an amazing time at Pirates Lookout! I try to make sure it's sparkly clean and well stocked for anything a guest might need. The last few feet to the beach had stairs that got washed away during a big storm. Sorry for that inconvenience. Beach access on that quiet part of the beach is rare and we are super lucky to have them for everyone to enjoy. Hopefully we can get those back . Thank you for staying.

"We totally enjoyed our weekend in Pirates Lookout. We will be back soon. Grand kids enjoyed playing Ping/pong & Foosball. Adults enjoyed the Hot Tub.
The furnace was a bit loud when it came on but nothing we couldn't handle."

Manager Response: Having a "wonderful weekend" at PIRATES LOOKOUT is not hard to do! So glad you enjoyed the fun! PIRATES is private, has the biggest deck for hanging out, hot tub, and the beach below is not too crowded. Come again! - Lynn PS- Yes, the furnace is a bit growly. So sorry!

"We had an amazing trip to this house. The views are perfect, the hot tub and fireplace just added to the cozy atmosphere and the responsiveness of the property management was quick and friendly. We will be back, thank you!!"

Manager Response: We are happy you had "an amazing trip" while at beautiful PIRATES LOOKOUT! This home is a gem - incredible views from the huge deck, private location, hot tub, and even the beach isn't crowded. Come again! - Lynn

"This house was perfect due to lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Views and beach access were amazing. Kitchen was nicely stocked and the hot tub was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!"

Manager Response: I'm so happy you enjoyed that big oceanfront view and the bedrooms and baths at Pirates Lookout. Making sure everything is clean , sanitized and well stocked is the # 1 goal. Thank you for staying.

"It was extremely clean and so quiet and relaxing. We crabbed at Newport and watched storms from the beautiful bay windows. I always use A-1 Beach Rentals as my first choice. Their rentals are by far the best I’ve used. Clean, roomy, well cared for. Their customer service and staff are amazing, personable, friendly, and quick to respond. I’ve never been disappointed with one of their rentals. Thank you for sharing beautiful homes in which to create memories. "

Manager Response: Thank you for the many compliments, and for coming to PIRATES LOOKOUT for your 50th birthday! (Happy Birthday!!) A1 staff does its best to help guests enjoy their stay, whether short or long. PIRATES is a treasure for sure - location, views, huge deck, lots of room, fun and comfort. Come again! - Lynn

"Wonderful and Relaxing"

Manager Response: So glad your stay at PIRATES LOOKOUT was "wonderful and relaxing." - Please be our guests again! Pirates is a spacious oceanfront home - deck & hot tub overlooking the ocean, as well as beautiful ocean views from the family room and living room. Private beach access! - Lynn

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pirates Lookout! Absolutely stunning ocean views. Gorgeous sandy beaches with very few people. From the deck and epic windows we saw whales spoutIng! Tried our hand at crabbing on Siletz Bay, highly recommend! Kitchen was small, but adequate and well stocked. We cooked most meals on sight. Property management was friendly and responsive (we just had a chirping smoke detector.). Lots of steps to the beach, but it was worth every one! Perfect for our Covid sensitive family. Everything felt clean, comfortable and safe. No contact check in/out. The Lincoln City community seemed friendly, but sensitive to social distancing. The basement felt damp. It does need some upkeep in the game room and laundry. Still an excellent experience! Would return in a heartbeat."

Manager Response: We are so happy you had a what sounds like a wonderful time at PIRATES LOOKOUT!- and took advantage of what the beautiful Oregon Coast has to offer (crabbing, whale watching, stunning ocean views...). PIRATES is the perfect private getaway - the huge deck, spacious, comfy, fun home, and although challenging for some, a well thought out stairway to the beach. Also, there is beach access by car both north and south with parking.... I hope you called about the smoke detector -(we will help!), and I will mention the laundry area to the owner. Please come be our guests again! - Lynn

"Great home, quiet location. Well stocked and managed."

Manager Response: Everyone who visits PIRATES LOOKOUT wants to stay or come back soon. This spacious, comfortable, and privately located home has everything to make a nice vacation a great vacation, including incredible views from a huge deck. Please come again! - Lynn

"Our sibling reunion was a huge success due to this amazing beach house. Fabulous views,lovely home and the perfect jacuzzi to soak in. We had a few who didn't join us due to covid but those of us there had a blast and didn't want to leave. Be sure you check out the sea life by the rocks at low tide. Amazing!!"

Manager Response: Everyone loves PIRATES LOOKOUT! What better way to spend time from a peaceful, fun, comfy, private home! Sorry for those who did not come; maybe next time! - Lynn

"Best time ever"

Manager Response: Everyone loves PIRATES LOOKOUT! With its peaceful location, spacious and comfy home, and ocean just steps away, it is hard to beat. Come again! - Lynn

"We rented Pirates Lookout for our sons beach wedding and it was everything we hoped the home has a beautiful view of the beach and ocean and is close to shopping and sights."

Manager Response: I'm so happy you enjoyed Pirates Lookout and that big oceanfront view. Thank you to all for staying. Congrats to your son! Karen

"Everything was as described on line, and in the photos. From check in to check out, everything went smoothly. They made it really easy for a family who has only rented a few houses before ( but stayed in many bed and breakfast houses) We loved playing scrabble in front of the fireplace looking out at the ocean. Each day we were able to walk the beachfront and see interesting things. I'm 50 and out of shape but did just fine with the steps. There are seats that divide each flight so you can rest and take in one more view. The hot tub was wonderful/clean and hot. The kitchen was wonderful compared to others we've seen. It had everything you need. Teapot, airpopper, Large strainer, spices. We stayed in the middle level and upper level beds and they were all very comfortable. There were extra fluffy blankets stored if more were needed that we appreciated. The area was perfect, just a 2 hour drive from Portland which was lovely, and a great drive to Newport along the coast drive. It is only a few blocks or minutes from a nice grocery store, Goodwill, the chocolate frog candy, glass blowing ect.. The property was very cleaned and maintained. It was easy to do our clean ups at the end of our stay. The washer and dryer worked perfect, along with the dishwasher. Wish we could arrange another trip in the summer. "

"We spent 5 nights here in March. The property was exactly as described. Perfect layout with plenty of bedrooms and two living spaces. The location is great! The beach access is amazing and we went to the beach every day we were there. We would stay here again!"

"Loved the home and the location was ideal. Great for families and large groups!"

Manager Response: Yes, it is easy to love PIRATES LOOKOUT! Spacious, great views from the huge deck, quiet location. Thank you for enjoying a favorite. See you again! - Lynn

"A group of friends and I stayed here for a weekend and had a great time. The deck and hit tub were amazing, and the common areas were perfect for playing games. "

Manager Response: PIRATES LOOKOUT - a great place to have fun with any group. Views from the deck are enviable, and plenty of room for everyone. Thank you, and come again! - Lynn

"The house was cute with amazing views and centrally located. We'd stay again!"

Manager Response: Please do come again! PIRATES has so much to offer: huge deck, spacious house, private area, and amazing panoramic views. - Lynn

"The house was great! We really loved the view and being able to stay inside and watch the storms roll in. "

Manager Response: PIRATES is definitely a perfect location for watching storms (or whales!) Glad to know you had a great time at this peaceful property. Please come again! - Lynn

"This was the second A1Rentals property we have stayed in, again we were not disappointed. We had a wonderful stay at Pirates Lookout. It provided everything we needed for three generations. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with pans, utensils and appliances, and everything was clean. The stairs to the beach are steep but even my 84 year old father in law made several trips down and back. The deck was perfect for my mother in law to enjoy the beach without going down the stairs. We are already talking about our next stay. "

Manager Response: I'm so happy you loved Pirates Lookout and everyone had a fun stay. Thank you and hope to see you again for another fun trip to the beach. Karen

"Awesome. Did not want to come home"

Manager Response: Vacationing at PIRATES has this affect on those who stay at this beautiful property; we are happy you enjoyed an "awesome" experience, and hope to see you again! - Lynn

"We found a teeth whitening seringe under the bottom sheet. The stove top was a bit dirty but in all the place was great "

Manager Response: While things happen that we just also hope you enjoyed this amazing property located in a very private and beautiful part of Lincoln City with sweeping ocean views, an expansive deck, and spacious property. I will mention the cleaning issues to the owner. So sorry about that. - Lynn Follow up: /m sorry about the item found on top of the mattress pad. It's a mystery since the bed was clean with fresh sheets and blankets. Thanks also for the Heads Up on the stove top. That has had a thorough cleaning. Hope you come back again to enjoy the Pirates Lookout. Karen

"We had two injuries from broken glass in the house. One was an adult stepping on glass from the basement area. The other one was a two year old cutting his foot on the coffee table that has a crack in it. That one requires a hospital visit and stitches. The railing for the deck is rotted so it sways which makes it unsafe. We also found fake finger nails in one of the beds. The view was amazing, we got to see lots of whales and the house itself was great. With some better cleaning and updates to the table top and railing it would have been that much better. "

Manager Response: I'm so sorry there was broken glass . Cleaner and owner will meet at the house to make sure all is clean and safe. I'm mostly sorry that your little one hurt their foot and will give you a follow up call. I'm happy you liked the views and appreciate the heads up on safety and cleanliness. I'm on it. Karen

"We spent three nights at Pirates Lookout with our two sons and their spouses and two grandchildren. We had a relaxing stay. The deck is fabulous. The house and hot tub were clean. Everyone had their own space. The beach in this location is not crowded and the area has become more upscale than I remember. We would definitely rent it again."

Manager Response: Excellent and accurate comments on PIRATES, AND the area; very peaceful, and the deck is perfect for whale watching. Happy you enjoyed your stay; come again! - Lynn

"This home is everything it is advertised to be. We had absolutely no problems. We were there 7 nights and saw grey whales every single day. Most days they were directly in front of the home all day long. Great location for exploring the coast north or south of Lincoln City. I would recommend this home and return given the opportunity. "

Manager Response: PIRATES has long been known for whale viewing from its panoramic views, the peaceful area, and spaciousness of the home. Thank you for the comments! - Lynn

"We had a lovely coast stay in this home! Loved it! The view is amazing! Small kitchen, but we didn’t cook much at all so it didn’t matter! Great sitting and sleeping spaces. Perfect for our family! "

Manager Response: "Perfect for you family" is perfect for us! Thank you for coming to PIRATES where the views are always incredible! - Lynn

"The house was amazing. Right on the beach - beautiful sunsets from the deck. House came supplied with everything you would need including a fully supplied kitchen!"

Manager Response: PIRATES is one of the best locations for peace and panoramic views; hopefully you caught sight of the whales! - Lynn

"Gorgeous sunsets, cold ocean dips, warm hot tub mornings, comfortable sleeps, all around positive. Thank you"

Manager Response: Hi, Jennifer, The ocean is certainly a "healing" place, and PIRATES is the perfect place for it. So glad you enjoyed the huge deck and hot tub as well. Come again! - Lynn

"This rental was overall amazing. Between the all of the space, the amazing view, the hot tub and the quick access to the beach, it was a perfect way to get a little R&R and celebrate birthdays for a girls weekend. It was close to town, but far enough away to feel peaceful. We absolutely loved everything about our stay. I definitely plan on coming back and using this same rental!"

Manager Response: I'm happy you loved the space at Pirates Lookout. Look forward to having your group stay again. Karen

"We absolutely loved this house. The location could not be better. The kids loved it, we saw star fish, a lot of star fish on the rocks right by the house. "

Manager Response: Happy you had a nice time at Pirates Lookout. Your group is always welcome. Karen

"The house is getting tired, we have rented for years there. Chipped paint inside and out, toilet running & mold behind lid, toilet handle, Repair man had to come first hour there, Double Mattress downstairs needs to be replaced. Just needs some TLC but we love the house."

Manager Response: Thanks for the detailed review. Got some painting done inside and outside on deck, new mattresses, bedding and kitchen supplies. Hope you come back to check it out. Karen

"Except with an issue with light switch for stairway heading to upper floor (this needs to be checked out) all was great. "

Manager Response: Hi, Diana, Aside from the light switch (thank you) we are happy you enjoyed PIRATES LOOKOUT and that all was great. Hope you enjoyed the tide pools below. - Lynn at a1

"This was our 3rd annual girls weekend with our mom. Thank you for the use of your home it was great and the view was spectacular. The weather didn't cooperate for using your large deck and chairs so we'll be back. The kitchen was well stock for all our cooking needs and bedrooms were all very nice. Will definitely make plans to stay again we had a great time."

Manager Response: Hi, Kim, and so glad your "girls weekend" turned out well. PIRATES is so popular all year around so please come again! - Lynn with a1

"This well maintained beach house is a wonderful home to just watch the waves, curl up and read a good book in front of the fire, or attack a puzzle on a rainy day. The beach is just below - yes there are alot of steps to go down but just think of the exercise you are getting."

Manager Response: Hi, Kathy, PIRATES is wonderful for all of the reasons you stated - thank you! We hope you enjoyed the great deck overlooking the tide pools at low tide. Yes, the stairs take a few minutes; good thing for the benches part way. - Lynn with a1

"The place was great. clean, lots of beds, ocean view was amazing, plenty of parking, I would do it again."

Manager Response: HI, Scott, PIRATES is the perfect "guys weekend!" So glad you enjoyed this one-of-a-kind property with its huge deck and breathtaking views. Come back for whale watching! - Lynn with a1

"We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Pirates Lookout. The home is lovely and the view was spectacular. The perfect house for a relaxing honeymoon. Thank you!"

Manager Response: Hi, Lori, PIRATES is definitely the perfect property for its views, privacy, and beautiful home. - Lynn with a1

"This was our fourth year at Pirates Lookout. The house is very comfortable and fits the five of us perfectly. We love the view, the hot tub and the deck! There is plenty of room to play games or scrapbook. "

Manager Response: Happy you had a nice time at Pirates Lookout. That big dining table overlooking the ocean is perfect for projects and games! Thanks for staying and hope to see you again soon. Karen

"Our group had a wonderful time at this property. We stayed over new years and the beach was pretty empty, save a few dogs and morning walkers. If you have kids they will love the tide pools. The rental pictures don't do the view justice, and we were definitely surprised by how much space we had. Definitely thinking about coming back again. No complaints! Just remember to bring your own speakers if you enjoy music in the house."

Manager Response: Hi, Molly! Thank you for all of the compliments on PIRATES - we love it too! Be seeing you again! - Lynn with a1

"What a fantastic weekend! Sooo relaxing to visit with friends and soak in hottub and watch whales play in front of the house. The extra free day gave us much more time on Sunday to not have to leave early. We stayed till early evening and finished the weekend out still relaxed and unrushed. All our wants and needs were met at this rental!"

Manager Response: Hi, Kathy, An extra day! What fun! Happy you enjoyed this wonderful property! - Lynn with a1

"Great view, deck, and hot tub. "

Manager Response: Hi, John, You mention the roomy along with the spectacular views. Thank you for choosing PIRATES! Hope to see you again! - Lynn with a1

"The house was very nice. The only thing was all the stairs...getting too old for those! Great view, if it wasn't so foggy. We had some trouble getting the TV to work. Always seems to be an issue an any beach house. Not sure why it has to be so complicated. Loved all the windows."

Manager Response: Hi Debbie, Happy you had a nice time and good weather. Sorry the TV was tough to work. Sometimes a group before you will play games and change the settings. Hope you can make it back for a big storm. Great wild wave action from Pirates Lookout. Karen

"Not quite as spotlessly clean as usual, and only partial rolls of TP in the bathrooms, but otherwise, wonderful as always. We love coming to Pirates Lookout each Oct., and truly do feel like it is our beach home. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy this lovely place. "

Manager Response: Hi Gale, I'm happy you had a nice time and want to say thanks for all the years you've stayed! My regular cleaner is back in action. Sorry it wasn't spotless and things got missed. Thanks again , Karen

"The location was perfect. There are 100 steps to get to the beach but it didn't bother either kids or adults. Views from the house are amazing. Hot tub was great. House overall worked for us. Good house for a big group."

Manager Response: Thanks for staying at Pirates Lookout. Happy it worked so nicely for your big group. Karen

"Seven of us have been friends for over 50 years. We are spread out all over the country and come together once a year. This is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. Everything you need is there to enjoy and have fun."

Manager Response: Happy you had a great stay! See you again soon!

"Our family; 4-ages 16-18, 4-ages 21-25, 2-ages over 45 :) and 2 new babies. We stayed Thur-Sun in Sept. The home had an amazing deck with stunning views. It was clean although not ready at 3pm. Cleaner finally left at 330 with a few items undone. Towels and linen supply were good, the basement was very musty. So much so we went and bought air freshener. The kitchen was extremely small, no counter space, stove was in an awkward location and it was poorly stocked. Ie; no basic seasonings. Everything worked properly. The 2 upstairs rooms were very stuffy. Even with windows open. Ceiling fans or at least box fans would help. The ping pong table was nice but in a tight, odd space in the basement. The property description should better describe the very steep and long stairs to access the beach. We were aware because of other reviews. They were a great workout but hard with babies and beach supplies. The beach area is amazing! We enjoyed our trip but probably won't rent this location again due to the home having a lot of stairs and next year our grandbabies will be toddlers."

Manager Response: Thanks for suggestions! Thanks for staying!

"This was our second stay at Pirates Lookout. We came back because it has a really great view and a good layout for couples. The double living spaces makes it nice for having a couple of spaces for people to gather. We really like that we all fit at the large dining table. The kitchen is tight, so we can only have a couple people in there at a time. The view is really amazing and we love the expansive deck and seating. The hot tub is a nice touch, although we feel it's too small for this size of house. It will fit 3-4 people and our group this time was six, but the house will easily accommodate 4 couples with extra beds in the basement if needed for kiddos. It's quite a trek down to the beach, but basically private once you get down there. We really enjoyed our stay. Would have loved to have had some movie channels available on the TV and the board games are in quite disarray. "

Manager Response: Thanks for staying at Pirates! Hope to see you again!

"Our family loves this beach house. It fits us perfectly, is pretty clean, and best of all-has it’s own access to the beach. We are repeated guests at Pirates Lookout because of the amazing ocean views. We come here to enjoy the beach and this house delivers. This year, we really enjoyed the new BBQ grill that the owners have purchased right before we came. If you love the ocean as much as we do, you will enjoy staying here."

Manager Response: Thanks for staying at Pirates! Hope to see you again soon!

"Pirate's Lookout was perfect for our party of 9: 6 adults, 3 teens. Kitchen was tight for multiple chefs, but it worked out fine. The two living rooms were great. The kids played ping pong many times, and enjoyed having their own place to hang out. The hot tub was perfect. The deck was amazing; that alone was worth the rental. We spent each afternoon just hanging out on the deck in the adirondack chairs, looking at the ocean. We walked down the steep stairs to the beach (and hopped down the last 4 ft) to go skimboarding and walking. The ladder back up to the stairs was easy; no one struggled. The beds were not the most comfortable, but that's typical of any rental - no bed is as good as your own! Overall, it was a great time and we would rent Pirate's Lookout again. "

Manager Response: So happy that you had a great stay at Pirates Lookout! Come visit again soon!

"Very cute and fun house. Saw whales from livingroom window. Loved the deck! There are many stairs to the beach but very sturdy and manageable with nice resting benches. We all felt that our six day stay wasn't long enough! :)"

Manager Response: Glad that you enjoyed Pirates Lookout and the whales! Come again soon!

"We had the best time exploring the tidepools and watching the whales. It was the perfect fix for our family!"

Manager Response: Glad you enjoyed the whales and Pirates Lookout! Hope to see you again soon!

"The beach house was perfect for the 10 people (8 adults & 2 children) in our party. The deck was spectacular. Very large, a great view, very nice condition. The interior was just like the photos. Very clean. Well decorated. The stairs leading down to the beach were challenging but this was alluded to in the description of the property. A great experience. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub. The large TV in the family room did not work. The owner came out then called the cable co. to resolve the problem. They came out but were unable to fix the TV"

Manager Response: We are working on it! Thanks for the input! Hope to see you again soon!

"We had a wonderful family reunion at Pirates Lookout! It was so spacious and clean and offered an absolutely stunning ocean view from the deck. We were able to watch whales at play at various times of day. The kitchen was well stocked with an impressive array of tools, glasses and dishes. The team at A-1 Beach Rentals were wonderful to work with and we will definitely return to this beautiful home away from home! "

Manager Response: Wow, that's the goal! I'm smiling big that you had a wonderful time and I can see you all sitting on the deck watching the whale tales! Hope to see you back for a big Winter Storm. Thanks for staying, Karen

"I recently rented Pirates Lookout for a long weekend getaway for my sister and me and our 6 children ages 7 through 14. All of us were impressed with the home, from the amazing views and comfortable living space to the unbeatable beach access. We enjoyed some of the best tidepool viewing we’ve ever done, just steps from the beach stairs! Aside from time at the house, we enjoyed hiking at Drift Creek Falls and surf lessons, too. We found the home clean and well stocked with kitchen ware, towels and paper products. One of my favorite things was enjoying the sunset from the Adirondack chairs on glass protected deck. Some evenings required a blanket, but there were plenty to be found. We would absolutely recommend the home to others."

Manager Response: So happy that you had a great stay at Pirates Lookout! Please visit again soon!

"Fantastic. Rental was clean and the views were amazing. Gigantic deck and windows galore. Two living rooms with fantastic views."

Manager Response: So happy that you stay at Pirates Lookout was a good one! Please come again soon!

"Immaculate home beautifully appointed with a Pirate theme throughout, pristine beach with blowing whales out front everyday, starfish and sea urchins in the tide pools, bald eagles flying overhead! And the deck...oh the deck! Perfect beach house for a perfect vacation. Thanks for the hospitality! We had a wonderful time!"

Manager Response: So glad you enjoyed Pirates Lookout and all the local wildlife! Come visit again soon!

"Party of five, stayed seven nights. The views from both inside (upper two floors) and the deck were terrific with plenty of space for our group. The nearly private beach access (though understandably steep) was great to have. We did not use the hot tub. Response to an urgent repair issue we had was very prompt and well-handled. Lower level was a bit musty so we didn't utilize it as had been originally intended. There were no screens in most windows, so we ended up buying our own temps locally to provide bug-free cross- ventilation. Kitchen was small but functional, though it would have been helpful to have known in advance of the reservation that cooking fish/shellfish was prohibited. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much, with a good possibility of returning in the future. "

Manager Response: Thanks for staying. I got to meet you for the repair and was honored to have your group. Hope you decide to come back and stay again. Karen

"Been renting from A-1 for years so I know they have a Steller reputation but this time our stay was the worst. However a lot of it was out of their hands/control and what they could improve on they apologized for and the concerns were addressed and handled with professional curtesy by Karen. We will be back!"

"Great stay! It's a nice property, great location, views are amazing from the great deck/patio and don't forget about the endless beach front. The tide pools were fun for all. The only item that could be a problem for some is the smaller kitchen, stairs to the upstairs and lower floor bedrooms, not an issue for our party. I would book this property each and every time if available "

Manager Response: Glad that you enjoyed Pirates Lookout! Please visit again soon!

"The deck is amazing and it makes the house. When I first walked in I was a little confused about the layout. There are three levels, a bed and bath on the main floor with the kitchen, two living rooms, and door to the deck. There are two bedrooms with a bath upstairs, and the game room/garage is in the basement, along with the laundry room and the fourth “bedroom” (the one with the queen bed and two twins). I say all this because I hadn’t realized the layout of the house and it wasn’t the best, in my opinion. However, the deck makes up for everything. It was perfect for the week and the private beach access is stellar. The kitchen is a little small but it was supplied with most of what you will need, lots of flatwear, and utensils. "

Manager Response: Thanks for staying! Hope to see you again soon!

"The rental was great. Huge house plenty of thing to keep a 13 year old busy. She lives the book nooks. The hottub was wonderful morning and evening. The stairs to the beach were long but worth the beach access. Over all a very nice trip and experience. "

Manager Response: Glad you enjoyed Pirates Lookout! Visit again soon!

"Very nice home. Comfortable with awesome views."

Manager Response: Glad that you enjoyed Pirates Lookout! Come back again soon!

"Three couples enjoyed the house. Location was perfect as we could see the weather approach from the ocean. The house was neat, clean, and tidy. The kitchen was complete with everything a group would need. Even the dishwasher was quiet and efficient. We all agreed that we'd stay again without hesitation. "

Manager Response: Glad you had a great time at Pirates Lookout! Come again soon!

"Nice and roomy for 8 adults, Kitchen is a little small, but made it work. The pans are not good at all everything stuck to them. The bigger tv of the 2 did not work, they tried to fix it but couldn't said they would bring a new cable box but didn't. "

"Pirates Lookout was a perfect house for our family of six. Fantastic view of the ocean. Enjoyed sitting, visiting and shooting night photography on the big deck. Also took advantage of the hot tub. Stairs to the beach was very nice. House was very spacious, clean and well equipped. Appreciated the prompt response time for information and questions. "

Manager Response: Glad you enjoyed Pirates Lookout and the hot tub! Come visit again soon!

"Overall a great experience. We had a family get together. 8 people. The views were magnificent and the beach being close was great. We appreciated that all bedrooms had at least a queen bed. The dual living rooms provided space for our family and the extra long dining room table was great for not only eating as a group but playing cards and board games as well. My two disappointments were the small size of the hot tub - and the useless outdoor charcoal grill - which was too small, old, dirty, filled with ash, and rusty. I reported this and no solution was offered."

"A fun time spent enjoying the ocean and visiting with family we'd not seen in a couple of years. We love this place and return each year @ the end of Oct. We even saw a pod of what we think were Orcas feeding all one afternoon. They were just out a shot distance from the beach right in front of the deck! Thank you for another spectacular stay @ the beach!"

Manager Response: So glad that you enjoyed Pirates Lookout and the whales! Hope to see you again soon!

"Fantastic! We didn't even leave the house accept to walk on the beach. Whales, oh so many whales, were frolicking just outside the surf. Pelicans, puffins, cormorants, in abundance. Can't beat the view from this deck. House is big and bright. Lots of room to spread out. Beds could maybe be updated. 2 were really soft (saggy) and 1 was a bit hard. We didn't stay in the basement, so don't know about those. Furniture on main level was great! Very comfy. Everything was clean, too! I would definitely recommend this to my friends! "

"Had a wonderful stay with my childhood girlfriends at this beautiful home! View was spectacular - so relaxing watching the ocean and also saw whales. Beds were comfortable - lots of space for the 6 of us to spread out - but also loved the big table to gather round to play games. A great stay overall. I'd love to come back here. "

Manager Response: So glad you enjoyed the whales and Pirates Lookout! Come again soon!

Excellent home and service

"Our family stayed 5 nights and would have loved to stay another 5. What a great location, very quiet but very close to everything in Lincoln City. The whole family loved mornings in the tide pools, afternoons on the beach and evenings on the deck. There is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and the home is well stocked with everything we needed to cook dinner every night. A-1 Rentals was wonderful to work with. I thought I had lost some jewelry and they followed up repeatedly. In an age of COVID, they did an excellent job of cleaning and communicating with us. We have rented all over the world and A1 was by far the best!"

Manager Response:

Thank you for staying at Tide Pools. Hope you will stay again soon!

Great time for 3 generations

"Pirate's Lookout was just as we expected. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the deck provided spectacular views. The stairs to the beach are definitely long but even my 85 year old father in law made several trips down and back. This is the second A1 property we have rented and again we were pleased. "

Girls Weekend

"This was our 3rd annual girls weekend with our mom. Thank you for the use of your home it was great and the view was spectacular. The weather didn't cooperate for using your large deck and chairs so we'll be back. The kitchen was well stock for all our cooking needs and bedrooms were all very nice. Will definitely make plans to stay again we had a great time."

Manager Response:

I'm so glad you are able to spend time with each other with your mom memories to hang onto forever. Happy to have you back again.

Worked Great for us!

"We stayed at Pirates Lookout for a week in early May. This particular house worked perfect for us. We had to couples and two single women. The two bedrooms with the shared bathroom on the top floor were perfect for the two singles. One couple used the main floor bedroom and the other used the basement bedroom. Kitchen was a little small but we mostly did breakfast and a light snack in the evening. Our main meal was often at lunch when we were out enjoying the beauty of the Oregon Coast. The deck and the hot tub were wonderful. Even in May (when weather might not be optimal) we were able to sit on the deck and watch the whales. The plexiglass created a great wind barrier. The steps to get to the beach number over 90 and are fairly steep. For most of our group it was not a problem but I would not recommend the house for anyone with mobility issues who would like to get to the beach. Thanks we had a great time."

Manager Response:

Happy that Pirates Lookout worked great for your group.   Hope to see you again next Spring.
