"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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 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

"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

"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

"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!

"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!

"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!

"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!

"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

"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!

"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!

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

Manager Response: Hope to have you stay again!
