Beautiful home away from home

Lynette L. of Billings, MT stayed three days in October, 2018

“My family had to come together very suddenly because our brother had passed away and his funeral was nearby. Booking was a breeze and instructions were easy to follow. This home is so well thought out and the details made it so homey. It accommodated our large family very comfortably and we would easily consider staying here again. Thank you!”

We would like to return every year!

Gabbrielle B from Canby, OR stayed five days in September, 2018

“The house was so beautiful and really well stocked. It was the perfect fit for our large family. The price was worth every penny and actually a pretty fair deal for what you get.”

Perfect Family Vacation Home!

Sheri C. of Eagle Mountain, Utah stayed five days in August, 2018

“This house is beautiful and roomy – it fit our family perfectly. We loved the roomy, well-stocked kitchen area – there was plenty of seating and room to move around. There was something for everyone here, and the views are fantastic! It was a wonderful week!”

Lovely Home!

Gretchen M. stayed seven days in August, 2018

” This home was wonderful for our gathering of extended family. The amenities in the kitchen were amazing and perfectly suited for preparing large meals! Thank you for sharing this wonderful home!”

Family Reunion, Beautiful Home

Cynthia M. of Baker City, Oregon stayed three days in July, 2018

” Your place was amazing. We had 17 here & it handled all of us with ease. Such a beautiful home. We were in Waldport for a family reunion with 5 generations. Thank you for sharing your home with us. It was spotless & we had everything we needed. The only problem was garbage and that was my fault. It was full when we arrived & I should have called. Other than that it was perfect!”

A Pleasurable Stay

David M of Spokane, WA stayed seven days in June, 2018

” We originally booked this home for a family vacation, but our children are adults and life conflicts got in the way. We were disappointed but couldn’t bring ourselves to push the cancel button, so we ended up going with friends. There was plenty of room for 7 adults to share and the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry rooms were well stocked, and they have some games and puzzles on shelves and in a cupboard behind the island. Our friends were extremely impressed by the look of the inside of the home. We wish we had a better view of the ocean as the pictures make it seem like it is just right there out the window, but mostly saw it on the top floor when standing up in the front room, however not the fault of the home. We got immediate attention when the hot tub stopped functioning and one of the toilets was acting up. We would recommend going to the Fred Meyers or Safeway that is about 15 minutes away due to the prices at the local store as the prices are reflecting the area. You’re paying to be close to the water (a guess). My husband and I slept on the top floor in the master bedroom, that bathroom is very nice (no bathtub), we actually like the coloring of the whole house. I loved the picture that was on our bedroom wall and wondered if you’d miss it…lol! This home did not skimp on anything. We were very pleased! “

Best Supplied Home We Have Ever Rented. Period!

Merrie C. of Granbury, Texas stayed seven days in May, 2018

” This home was perfect for our family vacation. It had everything needed – was the best supplied we have ever experienced. It was very clean and well maintained. We are already discussing a return. You will not be sorry you rented this home. “

View of the ocean is breathtaking!

Helena I. stayed two days in May, 2018

“This home is amazingly beautiful and comfortable. This is a large home that shows character and pride of ownership. Mary was very quick in responding to our few questions. The view of the ocean is breath-taking! We would definitely recommend this property for your family to enjoy! Thank you Mary!”

No Detail Overlooked

Sharie A. of Medford, OR stayed 3 days in May, 2018

“Owlhaven was a dream. My first impression was, super clean and bright. The house was beautifully appointed. The kitchen was perfectly stocked. The location was ideal. We just simply loved it.”

Best Vacation Rental I Have Ever Experienced

Edie M. of Eagle, Idaho stayed 5 days in January, 2018

“My husband and I stayed at Owlhaven with an extended family group in January of 2018 and we found it to be a very beautiful place overall, with fantastic ocean views, spacious common areas, and within walking distance to both Waldport and the beach. I can’t emphasize enough how beautifully the row of windows takes advantage of the ocean views. It also had a well-equipped kitchen with lots of dishes and utensils, more than ample countertop workspace, modern appliances, and two dishwashers, which made it a pleasure to prepare meals and snacks. The very large dining table easily accommodated our group. We appreciated the fast Wi-Fi and the state of the art televisions and associated technology upgrades. This is the absolute best vacation rental I have ever experienced, and it made a great family get-together all the better. I highly recommend it.”

This Beautiful Home Was Perfect for our Sibling Reunion

Hazel Y of Nampa, Idaho stayed 5 days in January, 2018

“This beautiful home was perfect for our sibling reunion of five mature couples, who gathered here from Washington, California, Idaho and Georgia. We spent many hours around the dining room table enjoying meals prepared in the open, spacious kitchen, as well as visiting, playing Up the River, pinochle, and dominoes. The layout is perfect for visiting while cooking, and you can get a glimpse of the game on TV at the same time! Bedrooms were all comfortable with King or Queen beds, and all 5 couples had their own designated bathroom. Beds were comfy with lovely linens; shower heads and flow were fantastic; and all lent to restful nights and happy hearts. From our well-equipped “home” we were able to enjoy the Oregon coast from Newport to Florence, many attractions within easy reach. So much comfort and peace, so many conveniences and luxuries, so much joy and renewal of family spirit!”

Wonderful Family Gathering Place

“Owlhaven was the perfect place for our family Thanksgiving gathering. The kitchen was well stocked for a holiday meal, the views of the oceans and sunsets from the wall of windows were amazing, and the bedrooms were very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed putting together a puzzle and playing games. Some of us drove 30 min south to the Heceta lighthouse and toured it. Spectacular ocean vistas and a nice little hike. There were two washers and two dryers which was really nice given there were 14 of us staying there. The house was wonderful for kids and our boys enjoyed long games of hide and seek. I would highly recommend this rental home and would definitely stay there again.”

Wonderful Waldport House

“Owlhaven is a beautiful home, built with care and wise planning to include your whole family. The pirate themed family room with built in bunks is a very smart use of space. The chair lift and roll in shower makes it easy for people with disabilities to stay. (I have never seen a vacation rental that was accessible before, it is so important for so many families). The kitchen is loaded with all the things you need to cook family meals and dishes for everyone. The living room is a gathering spot with breathtaking views of the ocean. You can almost see the curve in the earth from this high view. We stayed for a full week, didn’t want to leave.”

Wonderful, beautiful, waterfront location for a big family

A guest from Oakland, CA stayed 5 days in August, 2017

“A beautiful, comfortable home with every thoughtful amenity, Owlhaven is perfect for large, multigeneration families. We had a fantastic time there — my nine-yr-old cousin was as happy as my 82-yr-old uncle. There were spaces for being together or curling up with a book. The beach was a short walk away. We’d come back in a heartbeat.”

Five Stars

Wendy P from Nampa, ID stayed 7 days in August, 2017

“Our family and friends all had a wonderful time at Owlhaven!! We were very pleased with the property and the property management company. Such a lovely place and memorable experience. Thank you!!!”

Beautiful Coastal Retreat

A guest from Orinda, CALIFORNIA stayed 4 days in August, 2017

“We had 3 families combined into this beautiful vacation rental and there was plenty of room for everyone. It ‘s a lovely home and it is well-decorated. The layout of the home encourages visiting with each other. The beach is a really short drive and it reminds me of a Nantucket beach. There’s a grocery store close by and a quaint downtown. We are hoping to make this an annual trip.”

Forced Family Fun 2017

A guest from Eugene, OR stayed 3 days in August, 2017

“This house was so comfortable! We had ages 1-65 and everyone was happy. The kitchen was amazing for cooking and entertaining. Everything was clean and up to date. The rental agents were so friendly and fun they set the tone for the vacation. Our only regret was that our stay was too short!”

We absolutely love this destination!

Erika J. of Redlands, CA stayed three days in July, 2017

“We absolutely love this destination! Owl haven has thought through every detail to make the home a complete dream. From the layout to every stocked cabinet to the fun bunk beds, they took care of all the details so that anyone who stays has just what they may need. We loved it here!”

Family vacation

A guest from Citrus Heights, CA stayed 7 days in July, 2017

“Great place to gather with family. Plenty of space for everyone. well stocked kitchen with serving and baking tools, and plenty of space for everyone to have dinner together. Great collections of movies for the kids to watch downstairs.”

Incredible Birthday Weekend

Kathryn H from Portland, OR stayed 2 days in June, 2017

“The place exceeded our expectations. Each room was very well thought out. The kitchen setup was our favorite place for everyone to hang out. We couldn’t have asked for a better rental to celebrate my partners birthday. Everyone wanted to stay longer than we had booked the house for. We definitely plan to stay here again.”

Lovely!

Judy P from Salem, OR stayed 3 days in May, 2017

“Wonderful large house with all the amenities. Great view, wonderful atmosphere, close enough to beach, beautifully arranged. Manager very warm and helpful. We will go again.”

Amazingly Beautiful, Perfect for the Large Family!

Jennifer S stayed 5 days in April, 2017

We have LOTS of teenagers and it was so nice that they could watch a movie downstairs at night while we enjoyed some quiet upstairs, or our younger kids could watch a movie while we played games with the teens. Cooking and dining together was easy and enjoyable with the large kitchen, island, and all the utensils, pots, and appliances you would ever need.

There were some fun shops and beaches in the surrounding towns. We enjoyed going south to Waldport to eat at the pizza place and the local Chinese restaurant. Both were family friendly and affordable. Also south, we enjoyed Devil’s Churn to watch the ocean spray. We highly recommend Owlhaven! You won’t be disappointed.”

FANTASTIC!!

Scott A. stayed 5 days in April, 2017

“This place is a brand new house that is over the top with finishes, yet it is so peaceful and inviting. It’s not a remodel or updated house, but a brand spanking new place. Downstairs there is a nice gathering room with a variety of bedrooms off of it. Two of the suites down stairs are King bed size with their own private bathroom. These two suites have entrances/exits that go out to the side yard with a hot tub. There are two other rooms that have queen beds. Right in the downstairs gathering ares are two sets of bunkbeds that look like you are sleeping in a ship. The kids had so much fun sleeping here!!!!

There is a laundry room with 2 sets of washer and dryers there for those large gatherings like we had. Such a nice feature. Heading upstairs there is a cool stair chair to use if someone needed for going up and down for health reasons. The stairs are wide enough it isn’t in the way for multiple people using the stairs at the same time.

The best way to describe upstairs is FANTASTIC!!!! There are two walls that are almost solid windows with great views of the ocean, not just a little peak, but full on you can see the ocean type views. The living room area sits 8+ people next to a fireplace, if needed, in a very warm and inviting area. Small windows open up allowing you to hear the ocean.

The dining area and kitchen are a chefs dream. The main table sit 10 and there is a bar against the windows that sits another six. The kitchen is wide and spacious with 2 dishwashers, lots of counter spaces and a island with the sink built into it. The kitchen is stocked with all the pots and pans, plenty of dinnerware, and all the gadgets needed for cooking almost any meal. The entire area upstairs feels very open with being able to see everyone at all angles.

There is a large deck off the dining area with picnic table and a small bbq for enjoying sitting outside and enjoying the sound of the ocean. You can take the stairs down to the side yard and the hot tub for relaxing.

There is a third King suite upstairs that is well oversized for any need. Windows off the back of the house gives you a mountain view with a private deck in which has views of the bridge. This room is wheel chair, handicap accessible with dual sinks, and a walk in shower. The shower is the ‘shower of showers’. It offers multiple spray heads and body jets to clean all spaces on the body. A nice size closet, dresser, and chaise rounds out the room.

Every part of this house screams luxury but inviting peaceful comfort. It is a top notch house that was thought out very well when they built it. The layout showcases the openness to the ocean upstairs, while downstairs caters sleeping areas. There are tv’s in all the main areas as well as all the suites. I cannot stress enough how warm and inviting the house feels with being luxurious. We had 15 in the house and at no point did it ever feel crowded or felt like anyone was on top of anyone else.”

Amazing family getaway location

~Molly U. (guest in March, 2017)

“This is an awesome vacation destination for families and friends. Designed for big groups, the kitchen, dining and sleeping areas are perfect for a variety of ages and needs. The “boat room” with 4 built in bunks is the stuff of kids’ dreams, and you know if the kids are happy, everyone is happy. The kitchen is superbly designed and laid out so that the cooks are happy and spoiled. Private spaces throughout the house for downtime, minutes from beautiful sandy beaches, handicapped accessible… I feel like the owners thought of it all. I stayed in the Princess Room and woke to the prettiest sunrises… Felt like waking up in a luxury treehouse! I highly recommend!”
