"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"

"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."

"we had a great time staying at the house . would love to come back and stay sometime again."

"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."

"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!"

"Cute house with amazing view and quick walk to the beach. Only negatives were the steep driveway and the showers were too small for an average adult to use comfortably but I would still consider renting again."

"This is a wonderful beach house overlooking the ocean. The view is outstanding! This house is very comfortable for a group of ten people. The kitchen is downstairs along with two bedrooms and the living room is upstairs along with one bedroom. There are bathrooms on both levels. The bushes were grown up by the hot tub and you couldn't see the ocean while sitting in it. (They would be easy to trim up) The only downfall we saw was that it is a little bit of a hike to get to the beach and you have to climb down a rocky pathway to get to down to the beach. "

"The view is amazing. The house is cute but the layout is odd. We knew that going into it, but we just were not fans of the kitchen being downstairs and the living room upstairs. There was a lot of up and down the stairs. The parking area/driveway is pretty challenging to get to - it's down a narrow road and an immediate "U-turn" to get to the driveway. "

"not a very detailed description of beach access"

"We had a wonderful stay. It was a bit different not having kitchen and living area on same level but super cozy living room "

"Wonderful view, accessibility to the beach,and very quiet. The home is well maintained with vintage charm. The downstairs stays on the cool side, the beds are ok, and the driveway requires a little maneuvering. This home would be a place I would stay again. "

"The house was clean and very cute. We enjoyed our stay. My only complaints would be that I had to fold the towels from the dryer left by the cleaning company. The pillows were pretty flat. I suggest they purchase new pillows for this unit, and the hot tub jets were not working properly. More like a soaking tub than a jetted tub. Other than that the place was great."

"Stayed with some girlfriends for a 31st birthday party! Loved the house the location and the service! Everything was well managed and communicated. Would definitely stay at the same location again and also use the property management again. Thank you!"

"The house was absolutely everything we were looking for. The hot tub was actually hot, much appreciated, and overlooked the ocean...PERFECT!!! Quick walk to the beach, really couldn't have asked for more. "

"Our family had a great time at this beach house. My husband and I took our two daughters and five grandchildren for a beach vacation. The layout of the bedrooms worked well. The location was good with day trips to Newport and Depot Bay. The access to the beach was pretty easy, just holding on to the little grandkids with the small loose rock to get to beach. Kitchen was well stocked with all that was needed to cook with. Washer and dryer worked well. Plenty of room to spread out in.
We have rented from A-1 for over 17 years. Our all time favorite is the RoadsEnd
House. It was already booked this time."

"We enjoyed the house & hot tub, it was very nice!!!"

"The house was just as I imagined! Incredible views, hot tub very relaxing and those ocean waves mesmerizing. We loved having a fire in the backyard. Weather fantastic. Great location so central to all we wanted to experience. Thank you again for providing highchair and playpen. The house easily accommodated 6 adults & 2 babies."

"Over all, it was satisfactory. The showeres where a little bit too small . Other than that everything was very nice. ��"

"This house would be good for a family with children. Grandparents may have problems going up and down stairs and walking down steep hill to the beach. Ocean view is partial.
Internet service was great, cell service wasn't but that is logical given the hill behind the house, just would plan differently knowing that if I needed to rely on cell service.
Hot tub was very clean and the house was well kept. Essentials for cooking were all there, don't forget to pack items for leftovers if you have them."

"We met from 4 different states for a girls weekend at this most amazing beach rental. Everything was in pristine condition, the hot tub was sparkling clean and ready for a soak, the beds were so comfortable, the views are incredible from this house from the back porch at the chiminea and tub and the upper deck as well, and the living room was perfect for playing games and catching up while lounging on cozy couches. We all want to bring our families back to this spot and will be back for sure. The town is adorable and we had a blast shopping and did the stunning Drift Creek Falls hike- so worth it!"

"fantastic view of the ocean. fireplaces inside and out. very comfortable beds."

"We loved watching the HUGE waves and though it rained almost the whole time we did get to walk the beach a couple mornings. Home is perfectly appointed and we used the fireplace a LOT because it was a bit chilly. We loved it."

"My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Great views and great memories. "

"The place was clean but dated. Towels were terrible....they are what I would use as rags to wash my car. Only one burner on the stove worked. The basement is impossible to heat. Overall the house was very overpriced for what it is. We were unable to get to the beach...access is limited to young agile kids, not something we could access, even out 11yrar old had a hard time.The upside is that the people I felt with were very nice and very helpful. I would use A1 Beach Rentals again."

"We had a fabulous time in Lincoln City. "

"My sister in laws and I loved staying at this rental! The views are just amazing and the hot tub was great."

"We loved every minute of our stay! We had all we needed and more than enough space for 10 people!! Thank you so much "

"Although the house sleeps 10, not really enough room for all 10 people to sit together comfortably. Awkward layout. Photographer made the house look larger than it is, and change in furniture in living room made it look like there were two living rooms
"

"Very nice vacation rental. We're satisfied."

"It has great views and short walk to the beach. The house was clean and ready to go when we got there."

"Loved our week at the Porthole - so relaxing & peaceful, great ocean views from our deck - watched the fishing boats come in several mornings, found so many treasures on the beach every morning - hope to be back next year!"

"45 minute wait for cleaning to be finished. Booked specifically for the hot tub which was a total disappointment...small, luke warm and 10% jet action. Downstairs bedrooms hear the hot tub going all night with windows closed so no hearing sounds of the ocean. "

"We enjoyed the beach and the view"

"other then the flying aunts that came out after we turn on the lights in the kitchen or hall way,it was great."

"I had a trip planned with my children and grandkids to Maui and had to cancel due to COVID. We decided to rent this home instead. The home was clean, cozy and the view is incredible! We had an amazing time. Everything was perfect except for the hot tub jets didn’t work well.Thank you for sharing your home with us! "

"Thus house was as described. It has beautiful views of the ocean with easy access to the beach. The house is as good as described and well equipped. We loved it!"

"The house was very cozy. Large upper deck, plenty of beds, nice little backyard with covered porch. Can't beat a hot tub with an ocean view! Close the shops in Lincoln City & Depoe Bay"

"My mother and sister and I stayed two nights..wish we’d booked a third!.enjoyed the fantastic view and fires in the beautiful stone fireplace..hot tubbing was relaxing as we listened to the ocean.house was exceptionally clean and well stocked.beds were cozy.will definitly book the porthole again!"

"Good Location and nice views "

"This house was a perfect for our weekend with our kids. The house was clean and comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and there were plenty of beds. We used the hot tub a ton and we loved watching the waves, and checking out the moon and the stars. Beach access is really close, and we even had a whale sighting. We'd stay here again!"

"Wonderful stay. Had all we need, and it was quiet, yet within easy access of everything. Just a short walk to beach"

"This was our 2nd time renting this property. We have had a girls weekend both times. This is a perfect place for a getaway."

"We rented the Porthole for a week to celebrate my 75th birthday. The house is very comfortable and has plenty of room for a medium sized family. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels and other linens. Washer and dryer are efficient and easy to use. Kitchen is well appointed. Highpoint is the wonderful view of the ocean. "

"It was absolutely breath taking. We loved it! The only issue was there were a bunch of cans outside on the back patio and by the hit tub that we picked up when we got there. Other than that it was clean and cozy!"

"The view was amazing.
Easy to find with GPS. The driveway and parking is a bit tricky, but nothing that would keep me away in the future. Overall wonderful accomodations. Would rent again."

"Spotlessly clean, had everything we needed. Very charming older home, ideally there would have been slightly easier beach access , but that's nitpicking - it was awesome."

"So relaxing, beautiful ocean views, wonderful temperatures and walks on the beach!
Can't wait for our next vacation - we love the Porthole!"

"My girls and I had a very relaxing stay here! Plenty a room for everyone to spread out. The girls really enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard - they roasted s’more‘s. And, the hot tub was greatly appreciated! Perfect reading perch was the blue chair facing the ocean - seems forever since I relaxed to read a book! "

"Porthole in Lincoln City was a lovely escape from the hot, smoky days at home. We found the house to be as described, in a good location, and walking distance to the beach. Also to shopping, dining and other amenities. The house is charming and comfortable, with comfy couches and beds, handy kitchen with room for all 8 of us at the table. We loved the deck chairs for relaxing, chatting and ocean views, plus a hot tub and porch swing on the lower porch. The whole rental process was easy and successful from beginning to end, even for my first time!"

"This cute little beach rental, dubbed the "Porthole", has it all! Its quaint, funky and has everything you would want from a beach house. The views are unbelievable from the top deck and adirondacks. The hot tub has an epic view also. The layout is conducive to families or a single family looking for a split bedroom design. A VERY short walk to a great beach as well."

"House was clean and in good order. Plenty of clean towels-kitchen well stocked. Did not need to contact the rental agent for any issues.
HOWEVER...I think a description needs to be made on the road in and the drive way.(One-way gravel road and a driveway that you need to do a hairpin turn to get into). No mention about how tight it was to get in. We had a large vehicle and were pulling a small utility trailer and it was very difficult to maneuver. Even after we disconnected the trailer-getting in and out that driveway was stressful. You need to be a rock climber to get down to the beach. Also, NO CLOSETS. View was great!
"

"the view was Beautiful from the moment you enter It was a Great place to Have a Great Time"

"Great views, loved the hot tub and walks on the beach. The house has lots of room and was quite clean. "

"We rented Porthole for two weeks and loved it. The backdrop of the ocean was spectacular, especially in the big storms we experienced. The house was very quaint, a little quirky but fun. Loved the nautical theme. It was a lovey place to bring our family. Thank you for the opportunity to use this home. "

"Five of us, all seniors, thoroughly enjoyed our time at the lovely home in Lincoln City. Being older, we were still able to negotiate the steps and enjoyed the cleanliness of the home. We all enjoyed our hot morning drinks on the deck, watching the waves. We were even fortunate enough to get to see a winter storm. In the evenings we played games around the fire and during the day enjoyed exploring the delights of the area. We would definitely like to come back."

"While the ocean view is amazing, the rental was not what we expected. The house is old, the small galley kitchen is located downstairs and the living area upstairs, only one of the burners on the stove worked. It was small and cramped for our group of 5 adults. No master bath, upstairs bath has no shower and the downstairs bathroom is tiny. So many quirky things about the house. Back bedroom obviously added on with window between the bedrooms."

"Loved the fireplace and big windows to look out. Beds were comfy and everything very clean. The cover on the hot tub was extremely difficult to get off..... very very heavy. "

"Very peaceful, super clean. Not to big but not to small. Loved it!!! Will most definitely be coming back "

"Very Relaxing Stay with a View of the Beach."

"Quiet, serene, large, inviting, romantic, peaceful, and located in the perfect location. "

"We loved this home! Home is beautiful inside and out. The deck is large and the living room and kitchen has large windows so you can see the stunning views constantly. When we go back to Lincoln city we would love to stay at this home again. "

"The rental was perfect for 3 different couples and 4 children. It was big enough to accommodate all of comfortably. Everything worked perfectly and the view is spectacular. As is the beach in fact it was our favorite beach in Lincoln city and we visited quite a few. We will be back for sure. "

"Amazing location,quickly layout with cute quintessential beach decor,really clean and professional management company BUT for the money, $3000 for 4 nights, was very dissatisfied with some key components like quality of beds, pillows, towels and kitchenware. We rent about 6 times a year and this place failed in those areas. Pillows and beds were old and inconsistent. The owner of the agency owns this home so I had high expectations and was let down.Ugrade pillows and towels. We always cook,that's why a home instead of hotel, but this kitchen had dollar store paper towels and garbage sacks along with broken and chinty utensils and sparse very used cookware. Our trash was overflowing on arrival and the antiquated fridge didn't even keep ice frozen. Agency offered a solution but we opted for less interruption and bought ice to cool our groceries. Extremely nice agency but we paid more here than beachfront Maui rental that was decked out. Who rents a beach home with no beach chairs or towels? Small things with minimal investment would have made this a total different review. Family time overruled any negatives but a lot of moolah for a disappointing oceanfront home. "

"This home was beautiful and very clean! The location cannot be beat and I hope to stay there again in the future. It was perfect for our group of 10!!"

"We have stayed at this rental before and it fits are family's needs. we like the back yard the best great views "

"The house was a little strange due to the living room being upstairs & kitchen downstairs but the view from upstairs was very nice sitting on the took a while for the refrigerator to cool also."

"spent time with family"

"This cottage will not disappoint unless you hate magnificent views in a 1940’s home with everything you need for comfort. Was it the Hilton? No, it’s rustic, cozy and charming. We loved it but then we’re 75 yrs old. Hot tub and fire place and March Madness... SCORE!"

"My family had a wonderful time "

"The vacation rental through A1 beach rentals in lincoln city were absolutely gorgeous. The brach house had everything we needed for a 4 generation family vacation. Just perfect!"

"We were a group of eight - five grown-ups and three little ones. The house had so much to offer, both indoors and outdoors. Personally, if I were to come back to Lincoln City, I'd love to stay in this house again."

"It was good"

"We were very pleased with our VRBO OR coastal home. The view is as beautiful as the picture shows. We were visiting family including son, daughter-in-law and 2 teenage boys who live in Portland. The cottage home was comfortable with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and a beautiful and spacious living/tv room. We spent out days walking the beach, touring Lincoln City and surrounding area and enjoying the outdoor spaces. I would definitely recommend Porthole. "

"Wonderful place. Perfect view, charming house and deer wondering around in the morning. Location within walking distance to the beach was perfect.
Thanks for a winder stay. "

"It was a decent house (some things didn't work, like one of the ceiling fans) lots of cute little rooms and comfortable enough beds. the way down to the beach Isn't exactly direct, but its better than having to hop in the car and drive. we experienced some trouble finding the place at first as google maps couldn't pinpoint the location, but the address is clear on the side of the house so we found it eventually. Biggest Yays were how much room there is to hang out considering the size of the place, and the view was awesome (we even saw whales!) Biggest Nay was the lack of creature comforts like proper heating and cooling (there is an archaic heating system that we never quite figured out, and no A/C with few fans.) At the end of the day, it was the view and location that we liked more so than the house itself but it was a blast nonetheless."

"Friends and family vacation. House was perfect for us. The fire pit area was a real treat for us. Kitchen had everything we needed."

"Nice older home (built in the 1940s). Got to meet the managers/property owners who came quickly to fix a tv hdmi issue. We struggled to find the house using google maps and Mapquest, So I would suggest googling Ester Lee motel and going from there.

Pros:
wonderful views
Privacy
3 min walk to the beach
Hottub
Beds were descent
Great back porch
Kitchen well stocked
Wifi
Gym is 5 minutes away

Cons:
Cold downstairs vs Warm upstairs (older home temp issues)
Furnace system for heat was pretty loud but we have noise makers, so wasn’t a big deal for us
Somewhat Dirty by nights stands and behind beds (particularly in room adjacent to downstairs bathroom)
"

"Beautiful view of the beach. Trail leading to the road to the beach. perfect for 10 people. "

"We were disappointed in our place. 500 a night you expect some extras or maybe they are basics No soap or shampoo in bathrooms, no ice in ice trays. Refrigerator was old and noisy. In fact the whole place needed some updating. No closets in bedrooms and the cleaning was pretty good but found a sock under the bed and crackers on carpet. Not ours. View very nice and patio are great. Hot tub fine. Also hard to find so a bit of help there would have been great."

"Overall we had a fantastic experience on the coast. The Porthole Property was a little hard to find that first night but luckily we bumped into some people who got is there. The views were spectacular, I couldn't get my daughter out of the hot tub and access to the beach was pretty easy. Really the only downside to the Porthole property were the showers. The upstairs bath is only a bathtub and downstairs had two showers but the waterpressure in one of the bathrooms was so light we all ended up using the one shower. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day weekend at the Porthole. It’s a beautiful house with views of the ocean on both levels. The furniture and beds are very comfortable, the house is decorated nicely, all of the kitchen items you would need are there. We will surely be back as we loved the place!"

"Very quiet and peaceful. Grandkids loved the hot tub. Enough space for everyone. A1 is the best I’ve been using them for years and am always impressed with their professionalism and kindness. Thanks for another wonderful experience. Making memories with the grandchildren that they’ll remember forever PRICELESS "

"I can't express enough great things Bout this home. We loved the split levels for the teenage boys to have their own area and boy the views. I will not only rent this property for our mother/daughter trip but will be looking at A-1 first for all future trips. "

"Quiet, clean home with nice ocean views and beach access. We have rented from A-1 for years and have never been disappointed. Thank you!"

"Perfect stay for the family"

"This was a nice house. My family enjoyed themself. Close to tow which was a plus. When we first arrived the road had cones blocking the road. I got out and walked to find the house and see how far we were going to have to pack our bags. Talked to a utility worker who asked if we were staying here. Told him we were. He told me to move the cones so we could get in."

"Super fun trip with the kiddos. The house was great with amazing views and just a short walk to the beach. My kids loved it and didn’t wanna go home! "

"This house was roomy, with lots of deck space. It worked out very well for our family reunion as our main meeting home! I'd highly recommend it. Close to the beach, well equipped, a great place to stay!"

"Beautiful house very clean and organized with an amazing ocean view. We will back again for sure."

"It was an amazing stay. The views were amazing and the home was clean and well stocked with amenities including the hottub. "

"Nice two night getaway. Nice place and loved the closeness to beach. All facilities in working condition. Appreciate the WiFi since we did not have cell service. Hot tub was nice. Will be back in the future. "

"Very nice"

"Had an amazing stay and would absolutely stay again and recommend."

"Very enjoyable time with family."

"We had an amazing time! The house is clean and comfortable and has its own quirks and charm, which I love. It is accurately fully equipped with everything you need in the kitchen and plenty of towels so we didn’t have to do dishes and laundry the whole time. The hot tub worked great and was kept clean. I absolutely loved sitting at the fire pit, listening to the ocean and watching the shooting stars above. The view is beautiful. I will definitely come back!"

"My wife and I loved our stay in this beautiful ocean-view home. Playing board games in front of a roaring fire and soaking up the exquisite vista from the hot tub were two highlights from our trip. Things were a little rocky at the start when we had some trouble opening the door due to a stuck lockbox and later a broken key, but the management acted swiftly to get all of those problems sorted. Our only complaint was how chilly the bottom floor could get; however, with enough extra blankets on the bed we slept well. Even though we spent most of our trip around the rental, there are lots of wonderful restaurants and neat shops to check out nearby. We highly recommend you stay here if you plan on visiting Lincoln City, OR!"

"Well stocked and supplied. Lots of seating for everyone and the outdoor space was incredible."

"We had a lovely time celebrating Mother's Day 2026 at the house. The dishwasher isn't getting hot enough to really clean the dishes. We had to rewash all the dishes we used out of the cupboards.
"
