Recent Reviews About This Property
"We had an amazing time! We had the perfect weather on Saturday and the Beach entrance is just a short 2 Minute walk from the house. The view from the upstairs and downstairs windows are perfect.There were enough beds for 8 adult women with only 2 people actually having to share a queen. One of the bedrooms is a little odd with 3 beds in one room seperated by curtains. It was fine for us since it was just the gals, but could be odd if there were several couples and singles together. Not very much privacy. The bathrooms were modern. Showers a little small. The kitchen has been nicely updated and had all the utensils we needed for cooking breakfast and dinner. Minimal spices, no cooking oil or condiments of any kind. Overall the house was very clean and cozy. The location was great and we would definitely stay here again!"
Manager Response: Thanks for staying at Porthole . I'm happy you had a nice time. Summer is extra fun at this house because of all the foliage in bloom on this quiet dead end road . Hope to see you again. Karen
"A group of 8 crafting ladies go to the coast for a little retreat twice a year. This was the perfect house. Thought it sleeps 10 it was really comfortable for 8. There was room to set up a couple of tables for the scrapbookers and plenty of comfy seating for the knitters, readers, etc. We loved having the kitchen downstairs away from the living area as we were able to keep the snacking to a minimum. The house was very clean and homey and a few of us were really excited to have a hot tub. We loved it and if our group stays this size we will be back."
Manager Response: Dear Diana,
What a memory maker for you and your group! Scrapbooking and knitting! Makes me smile. Thank you! Until next time!

"There were 7 of us and we had a great time:) Weather was perfect and watching sunsets and walks on beach worked out great. Beach was not a long walk away and hot tub just made the stay that much nicer."
Manager Response: Thanks for staying at the POrthole. I'm happy you had a nice time. Karen
"It was different having the kitchen and living area on 2 different floors. Kitchen window needs a shade for evening meals when the sun is shining. shrubbery needs to be trimmed by the hot tub so you can enjoy the view"
Manager Response: Thanks for staying! Come again soon!
"we had a great time staying at the house . would love to come back and stay sometime again."
Manager Response: Thanks for staying. Happy you had a nice time. Karen
"We enjoyed being so close to the ocean: the sights and sounds from Porthole kept us constantly aware, which is a good thing for us. We also enjoyed the easy access to the beach proper and we did lots of walking and exploring. We also appreciated our ability to walk to restaurants, e.g., Mo's and Clementines."
Manager Response: So happy that you enjoyed Porthole! Please visit again soon!
"The Porthole was the perfect location for a girls' weekend getaway. The house was clean and within walking distance of the beach. The view is spectacular!
The property management was professional and quick to respond to my questions.
Drawbacks include a funky layout if you are traveling with multiple families or people who have trouble navigating stairs. Note that the kitchen, shower, hot tub, and two bedrooms are downstairs; the living room, one bedroom, deck, and a bathroom with a tub (no shower) are at ground level. Also, the parking area is really tight - smaller cars and/or a back-up camera are recommended.
I would definitely book again!"
Manager Response: Thanks so much for staying at Porthole! Hope to see you again soon!
"House was as described. We liked the floor plan , the views and the kitchen. Beach access was an easy walk. Gas grill would have been a plus. We had a great time with our adult children, their spouses, and our grandchildren at the beach, Oregon Aquarium, surfing at Agate Beach. "
Manager Response: So pleased that you enjoyed Porthole! Come visit again soon!
"Despite the hot tub not working and not being able to get the back door open, we enjoyed the deck and views from the living room immensely. The beach is lovely, but a bit of a trek down to access. The sleeping arrangements are interesting with twin beds and queen beds in the same rooms. Lynn at the rental company was very accessible and friendly! "
Manager Response: Sorry about the hot tub. We got it repaired & made an adjustment to that back door. I'm happy you enjoyed the view from living room, deck & patio. Thank you for staying. Karen
"The home was a cozy getaway with breathtaking views, which equates to an amazing family experience. Thank you for everything!"
Manager Response: So happy that you enjoyed your stay at Porthole! Please come visit again soon!
"Our entire group enjoyed every moment downtown at the house. It was stocked with everything we needed. Rooms were spacious and house was stocked."
Manager Response: Happy that you enjoyed the Porthole! Visit again soon!
"8 of us ladies stayed the weekend at Porthole and it was probably the cleanest rental home I've ever seen. The view was spectacular and we had a lovely time. Please note that there are stairs down to the kitchen while the living area is upstairs. It would be a challenge to anyone who has trouble with stairs. I also feel there is plenty of parking for 4 cars rather than the strict 3 car rule. The mattresses weren't the most comfortable in my opinion, a higher quality of mattress may be worth the investment - but they weren't horrible. I'd bring an extra pillow if you like sleeping with more than only 1. But having 7 beds in the home is a big plus in my book - so we didn't have to share. The walk to the beach itself might also be a struggle for some - a steep hill and navigating down some rocks but all in all - it's a great home and Karen at A-1 was SO accommodating and helpful."
Manager Response: Really happy that you could stay with us! Hope to see you again soon!
"The house was wonderful, the views were excellent. Having the kitchen downstairs was a little different."
Manager Response: Glad you had a great stay at Porthole! Hope you visit again soon!
"The house was quite comfortable with plenty of room for 8 adults. Property managers were extremely helpful. The area is beautiful. And we got to experience the solar eclipse!"
Manager Response: So glad you enjoyed the Porthole and the eclipse! Come back again soon!
"What a great place to stay. We loved everything about it. The property is well kept and offers ample space and lots of amenities. The location was great for our Oregon Coast adventures. Restaurants were fantastic (both in Lincoln City and all along the coastal towns) I think we ate clam chowder at every one we visited! All in all, just a fun, relaxing time in a beautiful part of our country. Thanks!"
Manager Response: Thanks for the kind review! So glad you enjoyed the Porthole! Please come again soon!
"I sat on the deck and watched whales! Hot tub was great! The house had everything we needed. The two times we called the property management they answered right away and helped us! Beach and Tide pools were great. Love how secluded it felt with the trees and landscaping."
Manager Response: So glad you enjoyed the whales and your time at the Porthole! Please visit again soon!
"We loved the charm of the house. While not directly on the beach, the ocean view was expansive, unobstructed and exhilarating. The rental had all of the necessary comforts including easily accessible internet, hot tubs, towels, refrigerator and microwave. The washer and dryer were bonuses. Clean home. "
Manager Response: Thanks for the kind review! So glad you enjoyed your time at Porthole! Please come again soon!
"We were very happy with the accommodations, the location, and the beautiful view."
Manager Response: Glad that you enjoyed the Porthole! Hope you return again soon!
"As advertised beautiful views - easy walk to the beach - QUITE - nice rooms great amenities they do need a blind on the dining room window"
Manager Response: Glad you enjoyed your time at Porthole! Please visit again soon!
"Great views of the coast from backyard and balcony. Clean house but the three bedrooms had weird configurations. Shouldve done one bedroom as a master with one bed instead of throwing twin beds in each room. Very quiet house. Only had one shower in the entire house. 2nd bathroom there was no water out of the shower and bathroom upstairs was only a bathtub. Overall, cute place, great views, and good location. "
Manager Response: Thanks for the Heads Up on the 2nd shower . The shower head was broken and since then repaired. So happy these guests enjoyed the Porthole. Karen
"House was very clean and views were fantastic. Beds were super comfortable and house was in a location that was very quiet. I would highly recommend this house. "
Manager Response: Really glad you enjoyed your time at Porthole! Please come again soon!
"The property was a little difficult to find at first. The directions were very good and really helped. The view was great. It was our biggest reason for choosing Porthole. It was bigger than we needed for our party but I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a larger group or someone who just wants a great view of the ocean. "
Manager Response: Glad that you enjoyed the Porthole! Please come again soon!
"Great Girls weekend....Only suggestion is the downstairs bedroom with the step-down add a large area rug for the cold winter months similar to the other bedroom downstairs other than that fabulous weekend. Though only 3 cars are allowed to park at the property (Lincoln City Ordinance) was truly the only issue"
Manager Response: Thanks for the suggestion for a rug for the step down bedroom. I'm on it. So happy you girls had a nice time. Honored to have you anytime. Karen
"Our group of friends had a great time staying at the Porthole Lincoln City beach cabin. We have celebrated there several times and hope to return again. The cabin is cozy, comfortable, and provides a most amazing view. This location helps create an environment which seems as if you are the only building around. The downstairs can get a little cold, particularly the one end room, but the upstairs remained warm and inviting. Overall a wonderful place to visit."
Manager Response: Glad you enjoyed Porthole! Please visit again soon! I'll check the vent to the downstairs back room. Thanks, Karen
"The place was great. Clean and cozy. Wonderful view of the ocean. Great location. We will be back again and again."
Manager Response: Glad that you enjoyed the Porthole! Please visit again soon!
"My sisters, cousin & I had a great time at the Porthole. Neat, clean & comfortable. The ocean view was awesome. Loved the hot tub! Rained most of the time but we didn,t care. The walk to the beach was further than expected but still ok. Great home, Thank you, Beck Family"
Manager Response: Glad you had a great stay at the Porthole! Visit again soon!
"Our stay was great with the exception of it being very cold downstairs. I used to work for a heating company and notice there's a heat duct vent directly below the thermostat which I believe was causing the heater to turn off before the downstairs could get warm. There was an electric space heater in one of the downstairs bedrooms which helped. "
Manager Response: We checked the heat and directed more downstairs with a closed vent that is now open. Happy you had a nice time at the Porthole. Hope to see you again soon. Karen
"Very Very nice accommodations. There are alot of stairs between the levels so this would not be a good place for elderly or little children who could fall down them. We had a delightful time."
"Very nice place to stay in every way!!!"
Manager Response: Thanks for staying! Please come again!
"Our stay was great!"
Manager Response: Thanks for coming! Please visit again soon!
"It was very stormy so we didn't get to enjoy the fire pit, but enjoyed the fireplace and the view of the storm upstairs."
Manager Response: Thanks for coming! Come back soon!
"This rental was in very good condition! It had everything we needed and the views were beautiful! The hot tub was so nice and perfect. You could see the ocean from the porch and from while soaking in the hot tub. It couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you so much!"
Manager Response: Thanks for staying! Come back again!
"This was a wonderful home in an absolutely beatiful location. We had friends come in from Texas and this home generously provided enough space for all 7 of us. It was close to the beach although the walk is a little steep and getting onto the beach was a little difficult for the kids as it was rocky. We all loved the view from the windows and enjoyed the view from the outside deck. The house was centrally located so we were able to enjoy Newport and Depoe Bay with just a short drive. We would highly recommend this property and would rent it again."
Manager Response: Thanks so much for coming! Please visit again soon!
"Prefer open floor plan. Beds and rooms not practical. Loved fireplace. "
Manager Response: Thanks for staying!
"Wonderful winter weekend! Warm, cozy, spaces for all!"
Manager Response: Thanks for coming! Please visit again!
"This home was perfect! Plenty of room and very close to the beach! Nice size kitchen and living room. The hot tub was great as well. Will definitely be coming back! "
Manager Response: Thanks for staying!
"The home was very comfortable for 10 people. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay. The rental company had wonderful communication and was a pleasure to work with. "
Manager Response: Thanks for staying! Please come again!
"You lnow you enjoyed your stay when you are reluctant to leave a review because you are worried that you are letting out a secret and when you go to book next year it may get filled. The house is really well maintained and clean! The hot tub crew was there at check out to prepare for the next guests and the hot tub was perfect clean and has a great view. The beds are comfortable the furnishings in the living room were great and the kitchen is amazing and well equipped. The photos of the place did not show just how nice and large the bedrooms are. Also for you VRBO folks I would rent from A 1 first they were great and VRBO glitched the payment and A 1 took care of it immediately. The whole package deal was amazing thanks A 1."
Manager Response: Thanks a lot! Come back soon!
"Had a great time celebrating out one year wedding anniversary."
Manager Response: Thanks for visiting!
"We had a wonderful time at the Porthole. It was a Mothers Day getaway with our 2 daughters and their families. Perfect setting, close to the beach, great hot tub time and the back yard with the fire pit was the best! We loved it all!"
Manager Response: Thanks for coming! Glad you enjoyed your stay!
"we spent our fourth of july week at the porthole with 2 young families and had a great time! the views from the deck were amazing. the location was excellent and was 10 minutes from anywhere we wanted to go. the weather was perfect. my only watch out would be to keep the blinds down in the living room on sunny days as it can get really warm. "
Manager Response: Thanks for staying! Please come again soon!
"Good except for drive way and parking lot"
"Loved the views! The house was nice. We had beautiful weather while we were there. So most of our time was spent on the lower porch enjoying the view. We really didn't use the upstairs although the upstairs was very nice. Driveway was a little tricky. This property was very private despite the motel above it and house right next door. If the owners would put in a staircase from back yard to street below for an easier access to the beach. That would greatly improve this property. "
"Fun yearly trip with family. One bedroom has curtains that do not close, so no privacy! I received 4 emails from A-1 during my stay which I feel is a bit over kill."
"Super fun beach weekend with friends. This place is cozy but well-organized for a small space. It's a little hard to find -- follow instructions closely! Bring your own firewood -- the fireplace is lovely. Thank you to A-1 rental for very clear and professional booking."
Manager Response: So glad you enjoyed your time at the beach! Please come again soon!
"great time"
Manager Response: Glad you enjoyed your stay! Please come again soon!
"The views were amazing, and the beach was close. We used the fireplace for two evenings before the sun came out for the remainder of our stay.
Kitchen is slightly small for a big group, but we worked it out just fine.
We all agreed we'd stay here again."
Manager Response: Really glad you enjoyed your stay! Please come again soon!
"I cleaned the oven on arrival so we would not smoke up our food. Hot tub cover needs a lifter and bushes could be trimmed so we can see the ocean. House was clean. Would be nice to have food storage with covers or celephane provided. Also one serving of coffee would be nice. We had problem getting TV to have signal. Service man came in and set up with batteries in the remote, etc. Fire wood or logs would have been nice since there was a wood burning fire place only."
Manager Response: I'm sorry you had to clean the oven. The cleaner and I will discuss that . The bushes were trimmed on the property but not the neighbors property. So glad Andrew got a quick solve to the remote issue. YOur supply & firewood suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks, Karen
"It was great! We enjoyed this house a lot. It fit all of us perfectly. And had great views and luckily great weather. It was a short walk to the beach, the walk back up the hill was tiring but we had 6 kids with us ages ranging from 5-10 and they hiked back up just fine. Also just a heads up the house says it has 2 1/2 baths. It has 1 bathroom with a taoilet and bathtub only, another bathroom with 1 toilet and a shower, and then a shower in the laundry room. We would have preferred 3 toilets but it still worked out great. Overall for the price it was a great spot, very clean, and the owners were super nice and friendly and answered all of our questions promptly. We would stay here again. "

Manager Response: Glad you enjoyed your stay! Please come again!
"High praise for this charming seaside home. Best features are the location, easy access to the beach, awesome views, quiet neighborhood, well appointed with fine appliances and equipment, and the hot tub! Special consideration: although there are several beds, there are only three private spaces, hence "intimate," as in limited privacy in large numbers; I will be amazed if a guest finds this property on first try, quite a challenging labyrinth. The paved street access to the beach is steep but not difficult, and there are some challenging boulders between roads end and the beach. I highly recommend this location for most large families or small mixed company groups. Excellent value for the price, wow! I will definitely stay here again. "
Manager Response: So glad you enjoyed your time at the beach! Visit again soon!
"Beach house was perfect. Definitely had enough beds to fit us all & cozy. Our view of the beach was beautiful. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you. "
Manager Response: Happy that you had a great stay at Porthole! Please come again soon!
"It was just what we were looking for. Roomy so we could spread out, great view and location in general, hot tub for cool nights hit the spot. Overall great vacation rental."
"Had a great time with friends and family for my husbands birthday weekend! Loved the house and views!"
"We had a great time watching the coastal storm from a warm and dry house. The house was comfortable for our 6 ladies get-away-weekend."
"We had a fabulous time. 80th birthday party for my mom. plenty of room to visit. the view was wonderful. It was a little hard to get into the drive way but that was minor. the heater in the add on down stairs bedroom was broke, management brought us another one fairly quickly but that one did not work either. we had extra blankets so it all worked out. I would definantly recommend this home to others. "
"Atmosphere was great. Clean and good location. Only complaint was downstairs was cold while toasty upstairs. "
"For a quick get away, this was a great place to spend time with family. "
"GREAT VIEW OF THE OCEAN, ENJOYED THE HOT TUBE AND OUTSIDE FIRE PLACE. KITCHEN WAS STOCK WITH PLATES AND SILVERWARE FOR THE 8 OF US. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE SCREEN DOOR ON THE BOTTOM, THE SPRING CYLINDER DIDN'T WORK. THE DOOR SLAMED SHUT ALL THE TIME."
"Words can't describe how much our family loves staying at the Porthole. We look forward to our annual stay so very much. See you next year! "
"We celebrated our parents 55 th wedding anniversary, great accommodations, great views of the beach. Close to everything, dining, shopping, hiking. Great weather too! Would like to stay there again. "
"Had a great time with friends on a very stormy weekend at the coast. House has a lot of great character and charm. The 3 car limit is a painpoint for groups, but that's the issue throughout Lincoln City. "
"Perfect for a retreat for a small group"
"Amazing location and a charming house. What more could you ask for?"
"We were impressed with The Porthole from first glance at ocean on the second story deck. Going inside from there gave us even more to rave about! The bunk room seems like a cruise room with porthole window. The queen room is very cute with curtained twin bed. The livingroom can be closed off with a door and the fantastic view is inside from the deck. Going downstairs reveals a well stocked, efficient kitchen. Outside, under the deck, is a picnic table, swing and hottub with a large grassy area and free standing stove. The kids loved making s'mores and enjoying the warmth of the fire. The downstairs also has a large Laundryroom and shower, and two more bedrooms with queen and twin beds. There a two full baths, one up and one down. All ten of us were comfortably housed. We enjoyed our stay so much, we are thinking about making it an annual trip!"
"There were a total of 10 of us ranging from 18 moths to 86 years old. There were a few problems if I knew about I probably would not have rented this house. Our problem we had was the stairs. We didn't think about bringing a baby gate plus my mother (86) had trouble with the stairs. Unfortunately you had to go down the stairs to get to the kitchen. Other than that issue we really enjoyed staying there. The big room upstairs was lovely with a great view. We also enjoyed the outdoor fire pit, porch swing and hot tub. The walk to the beach was a little further than I expected and it's quite a hill to hike back up from the beach but manageable. There were a couple of the single bed mattresses that weren't that comfy and should be replaced. I would recommend this house for those who do not have problems going up and down stairs. I knew there would be stairs I just didn't realize that the kitchen and eating area was on the lower level."
"We loved the location and the house perfect get away for our family"
"We are an active bunch of 30 somethings with very diverse interests...wine tasting, golf, running, crab fishing, hiking, etc. There was something for everyone in Lincoln City and the Porthole was a perfect home base. We had plenty of room, great access to the beach and other amenities. I would highly recommend the property!"
"This was a great vacation home, in a awesome location. It is less than two minutes away from the beach by foot. You can sit in the hot tub and watch and listen to the waves. The deck is perfect for relaxing and having coffee in the morning. My family will be staying here again. "
"6 ladies, 2 babies and a weekend at the beach. The house was perfect for us. Very clean, great views and wonderful outdoor space."
"We had an amazing time. The house was lovely. "
"The house was nice. Amazing view and really enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub. The porch swing was also nice. Enjoyed relaxing on the deck. "
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your beach house. Thanks for sharing it with us! We'll probably be back!"
"It was very enjoyable. The house is spacious and charming. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cookware, and everything else one would need. There were plenty of towels and the place was very clean. The location was perfect, about a block off of the beach. We had a fantastic time sitting on the patio enjoying the view. The people who care for the place are incredibly kind and responsive. We were very happy we chose this place and look forward to making memories there for years to come. "
"All good - cleaning staff should check all lights after each stay as several bulbs were out when we arrived, but not really a problem . . lovely home."
"We really enjoyed the Porthole in Lincoln City. The Home is casual and cozy, unique & quaint. The View is perfect. The Home was clean and worked great for 3 adults and 6 teenage girls!! The split level sleeping arrangments were perfect, Thank you for sharing your home!"
"The house is awesome, very clean and great location. We did have the toilet backup around 10:00 pm and water was everywhere! We called management and they took care of it right away. So it didn't end up ruining the weekend. "
"The Porthole beach house was spectacular! We had everything we needed and a great view of the ocean! "
"Our stay at the Porthole was fabulous to say the least. We rented to celebrate a birthday and to have a girls weekend, the veiw was fantastic and the weather was perfect, we even got the chance to sunbathe. The beds were clean and comfortable and there were plenty of extra linens. The kitchen had every untensil we needed and was very clean. It was a very short walk to the beach and a five minute drive to the outlet mall and restaurants. We did not want our weekend to end! I would reccomend this house to anyone and we will most likely return!"
"We had a lot of fun. The house is beautiful with amazing views. There was plenty of space and the house was very clean. We are hoping to get back out there again sometime this summer."
"My family came to Lincoln City for an ocean fix and to relax together.Porthole was clean and comfy with amazing had everything we needed. We loved it. Truly a special place. Thank-You. We will be back."
"This property has prime location, great view of ocean front. The view in the living room and upper porch is to die for. A short walk to the beach is close enough but not too close. The proper is clean but very dated. kitchen and bathrooms need some serious update. "
"The Nielsen family of 7 adults and 3 grandkids, ages 5, 3 and 1 all enjoyed our stay at the Porthole. The cottage was cute, quaint and charmingly decorated with a nautical theme. We had great views of the ocean from the upstairs living room and downstairs kitchen/dining room and enjoyed sitting on the deck to watch the waves, seals and surfers. Lots of up and down the stairs for Grammie but she certainly got her exercise. We had great weather during our stay which made our time together on the coast even more enjoyable. We liked the location of the Porthole, the south end of Lincoln city. Driveway was a bit tricky to maneuver with our suburban but manageable. Beach access was difficult for our 80 yr old grammie but she was content to enjoy the views from the deck and living room after one trip down to the beach. Only a short 5 min. walk for the rest of us. The relaxing hot tub situated under the deck with a partial view of the ocean, was a nightly hit for all after a long day sightseeing or playing on the beach. The grandkids enjoyed roasting hotdogs and marshmellows for smores in the outdoor fireplace. Our only complaint was the downstairs shower was broken when we arrived and we had to do without it's use for a day while a plumber fixed it. All in all we enjoyed our family time at the Porthole in Lincoln City and would come back for another stay. "
"We had a great time. This was our first girls weekend and we had a blast. We were all ready to go back. We really enjoyed the views from the house. It was a great space and we all had our own bed. The only recommendations that we would suggest is fixing the back door, it would get stuck a lot. A bigger hot tub, maybe it felt that way because there was 7 of us. Last it would be great to have a path straight to the beach from the backyard. Other those those few things we really enjoyed the house. "
