"great"

Manager Response: Hi Donald, Thank you for the review.

"We really loved the house, Kristy’s book with recommendations was super helpful. The main window has a million dollar view and it’s a nice quiet neighborhood, definitely would rent the house again."

Manager Response: Thank you for the nice review of Kristy's Kottage. The quiet setting and views that overlook the beach have to be the best in town. Honored to have you come back for another stay. Oh, great you enjoyed the recommendation book. That's always nice when you visit from out of town.

"Wonderful cottage on a beautiful beach. Fantastic views from the living area and the deck, we especially enjoyed the awesome sunsets! Clean and comfortable, this cottage is well furnished and the kitchen has everything you would need. We loved the quiet location, about the only thing you hear are ocean waves and birds! "

Manager Response: Hi Brian, Great to hear that you enjoyed your stay so much! We hope you come back soon!

"What an amazing long weekend. We flew in from Michigan to enjoy the awesome hiking trails around the Portland area. Oregon is absolutely beautiful. After hiking 6-8 hours a day it was so nice to relax with thee gorgeous Ocean view and the sound of the waves. "

Manager Response: Glad you enjoyed Kristy's Kottage. Sounds like you had a marvelous time. Hope to see you again in the future!

"Our vacation at Kristy's Kottage was simply perfect! It was even more than we imagined. The home is well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Staying here was exactly what we needed for a relaxing get-away. We spent our time either walking the wide open beaches or enjoying the views as far as the eye could see (including some seal and whale sightings) from the comfort of the cozy living room. We didn't want to leave! You will love your vacation staying here. Search no more! Cheers!"

Manager Response: Thank you for staying at Kristy's Kottage. It is a perfect little spot on the beach. Come again soon, we love having you!

"Perfect!! Beautiful!! Super clean!! We could not have had a better stay"

Manager Response: Ahhh, beautiful and sparkly clean are our top goals! I'm happy you found everything perfect. Thanks for staying at Kristy's Kottage.

"Love staying at Kristy's relaxing and easy!"

Manager Response: Hi Kris, Thank you for the review! Glad you enjoyed Kristy's Kottage.

"Such a cozy and warm home, very clean, incredible views and great kitchen. Beach access right next to home - was a wonderful girls weekend! Would definitely return. Thank you for sharing your home with us!"

Manager Response: Hi Melanie, Thank you for the great review! So glad you got a chance to enjoy all the house offers. Look forward to seeing you next time!

"We were very impressed with the cleanliness!
It was very clean and no odor of smoking or animals which in this day and time is rare. We are thankful that A-1 upholds their policy of no smoking or pets.
The staff are very helpful and courteous!
We highly recommend A-1 properties and look forward to further visits."

Manager Response: Glad you enjoyed Kristy's Kottage. We love having you and hope you will stay again soon!

"We chose Kristy's Kottage because of the location, view, and name (my name is Kristi). Kristy's Kottage is truly a piece of Heaven on Earth! It is cozy with the most breath taking views of the Pacific. The access to the beach could not have more convenient. The fireplace was warm and perfect for sitting beside while watching for seals/sea lions (which we saw daily) and whales (unfortunately, we did not see any), sunsets, star gazing, or reading a good book. The unobstructed view from the windows in the living area was most impressive. The balcony was relaxing with the clear panels rather than slats for watching the waves crash in front of you. Kristy's Kottage was clean, comfortable, and completely stocked--you really did only need clothes and toothbrush/paste. We will definitely recommend Kristy's Kottage to friends visiting the Oregon Coast. "

Manager Response: Thank you for your feedback on your stay at Kristy's Kottage. Would love to have you back!!

"The house and location made for one of the best weekends of my life! I will never forget it, and we are both so grateful! Thank you :)"

Manager Response: I'm so happy you loved Kristy's Kottage. Your touching review is what it's all about! Honored to have you . Thanks for staying.

"We wanted a place where we could enjoy the ocean and hear the waves. It was a peaceful escape from the everyday humdrum and we highly recommend it."

Manager Response: Thanks for the wonderful review of Kristy's Kottage. Much work is done by the owner and cleaner to make it the #1 destination on the coast. You can't beat living and sleeping so close to the ocean. It's magical. Thanks for staying a Kristy's Kottage.

"The house is very clean and steps from the beach. Kitchen has basic tableware. There is a Keurig but only a couple cups so bring your own. Laundry provides pods but softener/Softner sheets. Overall this is a very nice place and we would stay there again but bring kitchen necessities with us. "

Manager Response: Happy to have you stay again!

"Great experience - nice location with a picture perfect view."

Manager Response: Thank you for staying at Kristy's Kottage. It's an amazing hidden gem on the beach. Love to have you back!

"Excellent. Very clean and hospitable!!"

Manager Response: We would love to have you girls back again!

"Spectacular view from living area. Rental had everything we needed. Comfortable beds. Nicely equipped kitchen. Everything was perfect. Will definitely come back again. "

Manager Response: We would love to have you back again!

"This cottage was just what we were looking for. It had a great view of the beach, with soothing sounds of the surf. The house was very comfortable, and the ample, two-level deck was wonderful. It's located in a quiet neighborhood, but has easy access to US 101 and the Lincoln City / Depot Bay area. Only reason for 4-star rather than 5-star rating on property location is, the beach access was difficult/unsafe for us older folks. Not a big problem, as other beach access points are a short drive away."

Manager Response: Thank you for staying. Yes, I agree that beach access is great for some but not all. Using the other beach access is great!!

"It was great. It needed a better way to access the beach for people with a disability"

Manager Response: Thank you for staying at Kisty's Kottage. Happy to have you stay again

"Great time."

Manager Response: Happy to have you stay again soon!

"Perfect"

Manager Response: What a perfect house on the beach to celebrate your 25th! Thanks for staying and congrats.

"We were so happy with our stay at Kristy’s Cottage. The surf was just outside the door. We even caught a glimpse of a couple of dolphins cruising along. The home was everything you need in comfort. We’ll stocked with all you need in pots, pans and dishes and glassware. The beds were comfortable and the house was **** and span. The views, I could just live in front of those wide windows. No words "

Manager Response: Ahhh for no words you describe Kristy's Kottage beautifully. It has the best beachfront views on the coast! I'm so happy you enjoyed all the amenities and cleanliness. Those are the top goals. Thanks for stayiing.

"Just one great place to stay."

Manager Response: Your words pack a punch. Few but "Right on". Kristy's Kottage does have a huge surf/ beach view and is a great place to stay. Thanks to you for coming to visit at Kristy's Kottage.

"The home was very clean. You could tell that someone had taken extra care in preparing for new guests. The furniture was very comfortable. The kitchen was outfitted very well. The view was spectacular!"

Manager Response: Ahhh, so happy you loved that big Beachfront View at Kristy's Kottage! Super clean and comfy are the top goals. Thank you for staying.

"We've stayed in several homes on the Oregon coast and this one is nice with a beautiful view. but a couple of things detracted from an other wise nice five days. The bath mat was filthy, it had what looked like a big wad of slime one it that was hard and crusty. makes you wonder what else wasn't cleaned. and there was an aerosol can in the bathroom that had no nozzle on it making it useless. "

Manager Response: Thank you for your comments. Reading this is surprising since this home gets so many great reviews. I hope you contacted the phone number we provide for any problems; we work hard to make it right. Otherwise, we hope you enjoyed the location, beautiful views, and quick beach walk. - Lynn

"We loved everything about this rental. Location, view, access to the beach and a well stocked kitchen!

We hope to come back soon."

Manager Response: How wonderful that you "loved everything" about KRISTY'S KOTTAGE! This home has a most peaceful setting; views, comfort, short walk to the beach! Come again!- Lynn

" Quiet, relaxing vacation in a beachfront cottage with a stunning view of the ocean."

Manager Response: A view from every window in the great room of our magnificent ocean while staying at KRISTY'S KOTTAGE! We are happy you had a "quiet and relaxing" vacation at this clean and comfortable Gleneden Beach home. Come again! - Lynn

"What a perfect space for the two of us. Nice deck, huge picture windows, crashing waves, wonderful beach, fully appointed kitchen and VERY clean. We kept the windows cracked all night to hear the roaring ocean and sat in front of the fire looking out most of the day!Quiet cul de sac and not too touristy. Grocery and Salishan nearby."

Manager Response: You describe your stay in such a peacefully charming way, and KRISTY'S KOTTAGE has become a favored getaway for all you say. So glad you took advantage of all there is to enjoy! See you again! - Lynn

"This is a relaxing and well appointed house .. perfect location and close to restaurants and shopping .. easy access to the beach .. "

Manager Response: Our only property south of Lincoln City, KRISTY'S KOTTAGE is growing in popularity for the perfect, peaceful vacation. Comfortable, beautiful ocean views, and close to eateries/shopping/beach. Hope to see you again! - Lynn

"Our little family enjoyed the calm stay at the cottage, the location was perfect and we loved opening the windows to listen to the waves all day and night.

The place was extremely clean so made our first stay away from home since covid very comfortable and reassuring.

We enjoyed the stay very much and will be back!"

Manager Response: I'm so happy you loved being right on the beach at Kristy's Kottage. The sound of the waves is great for relaxing. Clean and well stocked are a must. Thank you for staying at Kristy's Kottage.

"This cottage is a gem. Excellent view and you are right on the beach! Even saw a whale! Decor and furnishings were tasteful and in great condition. Quiet neighborhood and great location for things to do along the coast. Just loved this place and hope to come back again. "

Manager Response: Thanks for the great review of KRISTYS KOTTAGE! You had a great time at this beautiful location, and even saw a whale! Amazing creatures! Yes, this place is a gem for all the reasons we go on vacation. Come again! - Lynn

Manager Response: Thank you for enjoying KRISTYS KOTTAGE, a home away from home for all the important reasons (beautiful views, comfy, great location.) Hope to see you again! - Lynn

"The property was beautiful and clean. The view from the living room was amazing. "

Manager Response: I'm so happy you found everything beautiful and clean and loved that beachfront view at Kristy's Kottage . Thank you for staying. Karen

"Wow. Kristy's Kottage was a perfect getaway for us last week. As they promised, the house had been cleaned and disinfected really well prior to our stay, and we felt 100% safe there. The location and access to the beach is spectacular, and the view of the ocean from the living room & deck is one we spent hours enjoying. It was exactly the chance to recharge that we needed. "

Manager Response: We appreciate the positive thoughts about KRISTY'S KOTTAGE! Sounds like you had some great down time with views and comfort to make it the perfect getaway. Come again! - Lynn

"As we all know, we cannot plan for everything. With news of the Coronavirus disease changing rapidly every day, before my husband and I ever started our "vacation" we canceled our flights and gave considerable thought to not going at all. Ultimately, we packed the truck and a few coolers with food and made the drive from Meridian Idaho to the coast. We have stayed at the coast numerous times, but this time special. Life as we know it had changed a bit, not just for us, but for everyone. I have to say, this property was amazingly clean. Not only visually clean, but a wonderful note stating the detail they had gone through to make sure we knew it was clean.That was the beginning of 4+ beautiful days of reconnecting with each other and the outdoors. The view out the picture window is truly a gift. There was a real comfort about this property. The fireplace warmed the room wonderfully, the refrigerator was cold, the showers were hot, we never ran out of hot water or toilet paper :) and the blankets and linens were soft and clean. Many Thanks for the peace of mind of literally "Staying Safe"
Stay safe, be well-Toni "

"Excellent experience. Perhaps just a few more details on accessing the lock box for the key. Turns out you need to go THROUGH the gate where there is a door on the other side. Very simple once you know. "

Manager Response: Thank you for your comments about KRISTYI'S KOTTAGE! Yes, one you know... so happy you had an overall "excellent experience." Hope to see you again! - Lynn

"It was absolutely wonderful. My husbands back was hurting so bad we couldn't walk the beach. But, the beach came to us. The sound and beauty of the waves was incredible. We could not have asked for more as far as accommodations go. Want to come back!!"

Manager Response: Thank you and we hope you do return to KRISTY'S KOTTAGE; hopefully your husband will be all better by then. - Lynn

"This rental was as described. Beautiful ocean view and very clean. The access path to the ocean was right beside the house. It was steep but there was a rope to help. We will stay again at this house. "

Manager Response: We are happy to know you enjoyed KRISTY'S KOTTAGE! Please come again! - Lynn

"My sister and I rented for 3 nights. One of the best rental experience ever. House was immaculate. Comfortable. Relaxing. Beds were comfortable. Fell asleep every night listening to ocean. Lots to do. One day it rained and we enjoyed a day to relax watch the waves and eat More's famous. Clam chowder. Will definitely be back."

Manager Response: I'm happy you had a nice time at Kristy's Kottage. Thank you for staying and hope to see you again for another fun trip to the beach. Karen

"Satisfied"

Manager Response: So glad you had a good experience at KRISTYS KOTTAGE, especially your mom's favorite. Please come again to this peaceful property! - Lynn

"What a comfortable little place on the beach. We'll be back. Being 6'4", it would be a perfect place if there was a shower wand installed. The stationary head hit me in the chest..."

Manager Response: Thank you for choosing KRISTYS KOTTAGE! Sorry about the shower head; have not had this comment and understand what you are saying. Glad you enjoyed the peaceful area. - Lynn

"The Kottage was exactly as the description. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable! The view is fabulous and having the beach access next to the property was super handy! It was such a quiet neighborhood and such a beautiful area. Loved the huge windows and deck! The perfect beach house! I've told all my friends that an Oregon vacation should be on their list and a stay at Kristy's Kottage is a must!"

Manager Response: I'm so happy you loved Kristy's Kottage. That's the goal. Thanks for staying and hope to see you again. Karen

"Kristy’s Kottage was perfectly located with a beautiful view of the beach. Everything we needed was there for us. Well stocked kitchen. Lovely deck is down some stairs and well worth utilizing. We’re already dreaming a s scheming for when we can come back for another girls trip and will definitely try to book this property. "

Manager Response: I'm so happy you had a nice time and loved Kristy's Kottage. Thanks for staying & your feedback. Karen

"This was a perfect little home right on the beach. The beach access was next to the house. Many properties in this area did not have such proximal beach access. The home was well-stocked with amenities. Linens were very nice. The washer and dryer became an essential after long days playing on the beach. I would love to return to this rental every year."

Manager Response: So glad you enjoyed peaceful KRISTIE'S KOTTAGE, another hidden gem. We hope you are able to come again! - Lynn

"This was the perfect home to daytrip up and down the beautiful Oregon coast or just to sit by the beach with a good book and a glass of wine (Be sure to try the White Pinot!). The beach is never crowded and the surf lulls you continuously. Glorious!
The beach access is less than ideal, as it is a steep climb, but it is right next to the house, so that is wonderful. The pictured deck is not directly available from the house-- You need to go out the front door, around the back, and down a flight of steps to reach it. But once there, the sunsets are fabulous!
The house is immaculate, exactly as described, and fully appointed with everything you'll need for a relaxing stay. We couldn't have asked for more! "

Manager Response: Thank you for choosing Kristy's Kottage, a peaceful and relaxing property, away from the crowds, yet on the ocean. Please come again! - Lynn

"We had a wonderful time. Unbeatable ocean view, and only a short drive to beach access usable by anyone but a mountain goat. Well-equipped kitchen, comfy master bed, great TV with built-in Netflix and Amazon."

Manager Response: HI, Paul, We are happy you enjoyed KRISTY'S KOTTAGE! Comfy beds make a stay wonderful, and the again! - Lynn

"The house we had was amazing, so cozy and a great view"

Manager Response: Hi, Cecelia, Thank you and so glad the birthday location was a hit! - Lynn with a1

"We LOVED this home! Clean, comfortable, and excellent location!"

Manager Response: Hope to have you stay again!

"Our friends and us enjoyed our 4 night stay. The weather was perfect, sunny with temperatures in the mid to upper 60's. We enjoyed watching and hearing the waves crash into the shore from the big windows in the living room. Took several walks on the beach and collected shells for the grand kids. The home is warm, cozy,very clean and well maintained. The perfect size for 4. We were disappointed to find the home didn't have a BBQ. We would have liked to have a BBQ dinner out on the deck during the nice evenings. We will definitely come back. "

Manager Response: Happy to have you stay again!

"We were looking for a little home away from home beach rental and found Kristys Kottage . Its location is spectacular! The beach is just a few steps away . The view from the kitchen/dining area is breath taken. We really enjoyed our stay wasnt sure what to expect because of the downstairs studio. On the pg it mentioned the owner might be there but there was no one there it looked more like a storage area which in a way it was nice cause we had the home to ourselves. It would of been nice if the home had a grill to bbq outside. Other than that I highly recommend this home."

Manager Response: Glad you had a good stay! See you again soon!

"Kristy's Kottage was Almost Perfect. The view was Spectacular! sat out on the lower deck in the Sunshine with a book to read and a glass of wine. needs Binoculars and a small hot tub! Loved it!
"

Manager Response: So happy that you enjoyed Kristy's Kottage! Come visit again soon!

"Our stay at Kristy's Kottage was very relaxing. Loved being able to hear the ocean from the deck. The location was perfect and the home was wonderful"

Manager Response: So pleased that you enjoyed Kristy's Kottage. Come visit again soon!

"Kristy’s Cottage was a great place to stay - clean, well appointed, and good proximity to the beach."

Manager Response: Happy that you had a great stay at Kristy's Kottage! Hope to see you again soon!

"Started auspiciously enough as the previous renters decided not to leave on time. They stated they were confused about their dates, but the property managers were proactive, called us before we even got there, and had them leave. The property is cozy, perfect for a couple or a small family. View is gorgeous and getting to and from the property is easy. The week we were there there were no more than 20 people on the beach in front of the property, almost like having a private beach. Some previous reviewers complained about the steep access to the beach, but it was pretty easy. If you are over 80 or have any sorts of major mobility issues, getting to the beach could be an issue, but for most able bodied adults and even children is it fine. There is no access directly from the house, you must take the path next to the house. Wifi was strong (even have 2 routers), appliances worked, water pressure was fine. The deck pictured is not on the living level, you have to take outside stairs to access. It is next to a storage room, I wish they would convert that to a game room, maybe a sleeper sofa. No issues with the house, it was a great time. We would come back, but we have a practice of trying new locations every year. While staying at the property I recommend Local Ocean Seafood restaurant in Newport. Also the lighthouse tour there is worth the trip (Newport is 30 minutes south). Also make sure to visit Pacific City (30 minutes north) to the north and the Tillamook Creamery (1 hour north). Portland traffic heading back to the airport can be tricky at any time of the day or week, so add an hour just to be safe. No Uber or Lyft, a good rental car is a must. Thank you Kris, Bruce, Karen and Linda!!!"

Manager Response: Thanks for staying at Kristy's Kottage! Glad you had a great time!

"Our stay at Kristy's Kottage was perfect! Great views! The house has everything you need for a quaint beach getaway. We sat inside, out on the deck, and down on the beach and watched whales, seals, birds, and kids playing on the beach! "

Manager Response: So pleased that you had a great stay at Kristy's Kottage! Please visit again soon!

"Very cute little place. Very private beach with not many people. The view is amazing. "

Manager Response: Kristy's Kottage is a new property for us at A1beachrentals and getting rave reviews! Honored to have you stay and get your feedback. Great cozy home for sitting near the fire and watching a Winter storm! Hope to see you again soon. Thanks, Karen

"This cottage is at a perfect location. Nice modern decorations. Note the deck is down a flight of stairs off the deck. It’s amazing views. "

Manager Response: Glad that you had a good stay at Kristy's Kottage! Come visit again soon!

"Quiet, clean and good location everything I was looking for, I would recommend "

Manager Response: Very pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Kristy's Kottage! Visit again soon!

"Wonderful! Views are unbeatable. Place was clean and beautifully furnished and decorated. Alot of nice touches. Deck not off main floor. Would stay there again. "

Manager Response: So happy you enjoyed Kristy's Kottage. See you soon. Karen

5 Stars

"My wife, two small kids and I went to Portland to visit my brother but felt we had to get to the coast. We found this place during the 4th of July holiday and booked it for 2 nights. The location was great, right by an entrance to the beach. The house was very clean and comfortable. The view from the house windows and the deck shown in the picture was superb. We saw whales right from the couch. Highly recommend if 2 bedrooms and 2 beds works for you."

Manager Response:

Hi Nathan,

I'm happy you had a nice time!   Please come back anytime.  Winter is especially fun with those big surf waves!

Thanks, Karen
