Very beautiful and relaxing
Big Sea = Big A+
by Diana H.
The house could be a destination in itself.
Cozy place with a great view
I stayed for quite awhile. The view is unbeatable, the neighborhood is great, it's the perfect location to walk to town. Peter and Katie are amazing. So helpful and responsive. We always book through Ocean Odyssey.

Could be cleaner
by rene b.
House not 109% clean. Range plates had dirty tinfoil under them.
Recycle bin outside was full and there were cabs lying around it.
Otherwise generally ok. Location good. View great.

Amazing views
by Amy B.
View was great. Living room was a little dark, could use better lighting, but this could be overlooked by looking out the windows that spanned the entire front of the house. Bed in the smaller bedroom was a little soft for our liking, but others may enjoy a soft bed. If I am going to nitpick the silverware needs to be replaced.
Overall loved our stay and would stay again if in the area.

Peaceful Vacation Get-Away
by Jennifer M.
This oceanfront home is set up perfectly with all the essentials. You’re able to relax and watch the waves and sunset for hours. It is magical!! Walking distance to the cutest beachside community in Yachats, OR for food, shopping, and adult beverages all the while you’re able to meet great people. We will definitely be back again and again.

Great Ocean View
This is an older home that looks a little weather beaten on the outside, but the views from the inside more than make up for it. There are great ocean views from the living room and dining area. We would stay here again just for the views.
August 21, 2023 - Escapia
Great location and pleasant accommodations
We have stayed at Big Sea several times. The staff at Ocean Odyssey are really great to work with. Very attentive and keep the house very clean.Other rental companies in Yachats are not nearly as good.

Great views
by Gary K.
We had a great stay. The property is clean, quiet and close to restaurants and other activities. Would stay here again
The best weather week ever
by Michelle S.
We love staying in this lovely home. We love the view and listening to the waves at night. It is a rare experience. There is absolutely no traffic noise and the cool ocean breezes come directly into the home for us. It is the perfect setting. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place.
Magical and very clean
by Amanda S.
View was spectacular, has a trail down to the beach just south of the property. Beach is nearly empty. Within walking distance to "downtown" Yachats. Home was exceptionally clean. Has stove, fridge, microwave, toaster, cooking supplies (pots/pans/tongs/etc). No cooking oil, be sure to bring your own. Also no shampoo/conditioner/lotion. Very quiet. All appliances worked great. Hoping to stay here again soon
Bliss on the Oregon coast
This is our fifth stay at Big Sea. We love staying there more than anywhere else in Yachats or anywhere else on the coast. The house has the perfect location for watching and hearing the waves pound the shore, watching all the sea birds and the occasional whale. The location is perfect for walking on the coastal trail and convenient for walking into town.
Best view on the coast!
We loved this house so much! The views were amazing! We felt like we were actually on the ocean your that close. A 5 minute walk to all the stores and restaurants . The fenced off backyard was so nice for our Lab.
House had everything we needed.
A top return to destination
by Jack D.
Another wonderful experience with beautiful views that do not disappoint. Nice yard to let the pup outside.
An ocean gem
This is our new "go to" ocean place. You can't beat the view. This time we were lucky enough to spot a whale spouting as they fed. The home is older but well kept up. We appreciate that it has a fully fenced yard for our pups. A small sun room is also helpful when the pups are damp and we don't want them in the main house. Can't wait to come back.
Uncapturable Beauty
by Kaitlyn G.
The pictures don't do it justice. It was bigger than we thought and, like everyone else says, WOW THE VIEW! We appreciated the closed yard for our pups and the mud room that kept the sand and rain shoes out of the main areas. Beach access is just right next door down a little path and while it's not much beach, if any, the rocks are abundant! Agate hunters dream home. The house is close to town and the wetland and urban forest areas. Over all an amazing home and an amazing stay.
Wonderful view
by Tammy W.
The view is breathtaking. This rental is clean and comfortable. There are a lot of scenic photo opportunities in the area. They could use a few more bowls. Otherwise, it had everything I needed. I'd love to stay here again.
What a view!
by Diana H.
Best view of the ocean ever! Stormy weather was a bonus. The waves and sea scoters and weather coming in were totally mesmerizing from the Big Sea. Have already booked next year for two weeks.
Unbeatable view
Looks can be deceiving. From the front of the house, it doesn't look like much, but once you step into the living room, you're treated to a view you can't beat. There were multiple storms while we were visiting, and it was fun to see how the waves crashed against the rocks - much more interesting than a sand beach. The house was perfect for a couple and their dog. WiFi was great - it handled Zoom calls with no problem. The house was somewhat dated but had everything we needed, and we had no complaints. The house was clean, and the bed, couches, and chairs were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
Relaxing on the Oregon coast
Wow. The view was more than I could have even imagined. The windows in this house offer a 180 degree view of waves crashing onto the rocky coast of Yachats, Oregon. We were so close to the Pacific Ocean that If I had thrown a frisbee off the porch it would have landed in the water. The house was clean and comfortable and we had all we needed, but what makes this rental exceptional is the view.

Sea View Indeed
by Randy E.
Could not ask for a better spot to enjoy the Oregon coast. A few small issues with the house did not dampen our experience. So much better than a motel!
October 7, 2022 - Escapia
Spectacular view
The view could not be better. The home was very comfortable and clean. The fenced yard was a big plus for our pups. The only improvement would be to have the gate fixed as we had to prop it up to keep it secure. We look forward to our next vacation at the Big Sea.
August 11, 2022 - Escapia
So close to all and so nice to sleep to sound of crashing waves!
by lisa c.
really a great place to enjoy all of yachats and enjoy the ocean all without using your car! I liked it even better because Ocean Odyssey is the most trustworthy vacation manager in yachats and so you can stay without worry. i needed a toaster - voila! Peter was there with a new toaster! I've rented from them a few times and this rental is as wonderful as the others : )
July 2022 vacation stay
Big Sea is in a great spot. House was clean and functional. We enjoyed our stay here.
Oregon Coast Treat
The location is ideal! The views are spectacular. We love the area and getting fresh seafood from Luna Sea. Walking the coast or the hills is a treat. We plan to return for our fifth visit next year.

A wonderful beach home overlooking a rocky shoreline which provides drama during high tides, and tide pools to explore when the tides flows. Quick walk to the main drag restaurants and shops.

Yachats birthday
by Byron B.
My wife and spent six night’s observing my birthday. We were joined by a daughter and family on two evenings. The weather was typical Oregon fall.
Awesome View
by Sunlight P.
Yachats is such a friendly town and the Bog Sea house will not disappoint! Awesome view, spacious and comfortable.
Awesome relaxing Home with a great view
by Larry L.
An awesome quiet location with a view to write home about. The home if comfy and lots of room. Equipped with most everything you will need - minus a potato peeler.. clean easy to find... the town of Yachats is just a couple of blocks away... great places to eat, grocery store... awesome place to take a walk along the ocean side... the views from the home are great.... highly recommend for a peaceful relaxing vacation home..
Just as good a stay as the previous one!
This is our second visit to Big Sea and it was as wonderful as our first visit two years ago. The house is situated in a perfect location to watch waves and look for whales, the tidal pools below the house were a constant source of discovery, and the sunsets were gorgeous. We reallyliked the location; it is on a quiet street and is a short walk to town, to the Ocean Park, to the 804 Coastal Trail and to hikes in the hills on the other side of 101. The pounding waves and roar of the sea were exactly what we had hoped to experience. We were not disappointed.
Overall, the property is well kept up, well supplied with all the essentials and very clean. Except for the residual ocean sprays on the window panes, and there are windows all around the front of the house facing the ocean, the house was spotless. We realize the ocean leaves water spots on the windows and that can't be helped unless the windows are cleaned between each change of the tide.
Otherwise, this is a 5 Star accommodation. We hope to return for another stay in the very near future.
Great location
by Joyce W.
Wonderful spot to watch the waves crashing.

Lovely Christmas at Big Sea!
by Lisa K.
We had a wonderful Christmas on the coast in the Big Sea house with amazing views! The house was cute & cozy and had plenty of space for our family of 4. The kitchen was adequate for cooking Christmas dinner and the mud room inside the front door was great for sandy coats, shoes and dog leashes. The house was in ok condition, but the views cannot be beat. We will definitely stay there again.

The views and proximity to the ocean and town are amazing. House was clean. Only negatives I would say is windows need to be replaced and some furniture is in bad shape.

Yachats Getaway
The view was spectacular and the house was very nice. Will stay again. Hopefully the big mirror in the main bathroom with be put back on the wall. The only other thing I can think of is it would be nice to have two keys.
Big Sea stay

three days at the Big Sea cottage in Yachats. Beautiful location, nicely appointed, clean. Disappointed with staff about giving me entry code and following up with payment arrangements. The refrigerator had not been turned on above the lowest setting.

Big Sea 4-day stay
by Merry Lynn R.
The view is spectacular. However, some maintenance needs to be done. Two of the picture windows in the living room need to be replaced or repaired. Water has gotten into the windows and clouds the view. Also the living room recliner should be replaced because the mechanism to put the chair back after reclining doesn't work. There is a step up on the deck which could be a tripping hazard and empty planter boxes that look like steps off the deck--another tripping hazard in the dark.

BIg Sea, Big Time!
by Bryan S.
This comfortable and spacious cabin has a wrap-around view of breaking waves and ocean. We purposefully went during King Tides and it was stunning! The kitchen was huge (also with a view) and there was a cozy fireplace. We also discovered it was right next to a mini-park with access to the tidepools below. And, finally, within walking distance of all of the restaurants and shops in town. Yachats is one of the most beautiful and charming places we have ever been.

Spectacular Ocean View
Minimal supplies on site (bring your own handsoap, shampoo, coffee, tea) but store and nice restaurants within walking distance. The amazing ocean view, great for stormy or sunny days, makes this, with some planning, a fantastic place.

A wonderful 70th birthday
by Carol H.

Location couldn't have been better! House is basic but clean, well-supplied and the view is unbelievable. Our fur babies loved the little yard and the huge beach down the road. They loved walking with mom for coffee and pastry in the morning. Despite the long drive from Redding, we will be back.

A big hand for Big Sea
by Brett W.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 14-day stay at Big Sea. The view can't be beat, and a mere 5-minute walk to the Yachats "downtown" made for a "best of all worlds" vacation. A special shout out to Pete Leaor and the team at Ocean Odyssey who literally worked overtime to ensure we had a terrific time.

Exactly what we hoped for
by Cory A.
We absolutely loved this house. It was as described in the ad, but better. The pictures don't do it justice. It's very comfortable, and we felt right at home. Wish we would have brought our dogs! If I had a suggestion for improvement, it'd be a larger TV, as we enjoyed turning on a ballgame and watching the waves through the windows. Also, a larger investment, but some wind shields on the patio would have allowed us to sit outside later into the night. But overall, we were thrilled and hope to come back.

Big Waves and Tide Pools
by Don C.
The view is amazing. We saw whales and seals from the living room. There are a lot of tide pools just down the path next to the house. The only disappointment was the beds - both are smaller than advertised and the one in the guest room made a ridiculous amount of noise. There are not TVs in the bedrooms (although the property description said there were). Found several dog-hair dust bunnies and one blanket in the bedroom was covered with dog hair. Not big issues, but disappointing. Otherwise, great location and great house.

50th Anniversary mid Aug
We enjoyed our stay very much with the highlights the view and fenced back yard for our little Aussie. We did not cook, but kitchen contained everything necessary and it was nice to be able to garage our car. Our only criticism would be the mold in the shower and the front windows have lost their seal so vapor is always between the lays of glass. Oh, and thanks for the perfect weather!

My sister and I stay once a year. Always a great time. Thanks for making everything so easy.

Really great location. older home but clean and functional
Perfect location
The location was great. The home was clean and comfortable. I have to agree with other reviewers that the owner needs to replace the failing window in the living area. One third of the view is blocked.

Ocean Odyssey

It was really wonderful as always on the Oregon Coast!
A Vacation To Remember
by Terry O.
This home is located in the most ideal place imaginable, to watch waves crashing into the rocks, walking the beach to look for agates, watching pelicans skimming the waves and if you are lucky seeing grey whales breaching just off shore. A few of the neighbors have major lights that illuminate the waves at night and it is just as good as watching a fireworks display.
My only observation was the house was tidy when we arrived but could have used some additional cleaning. Because of the wave and wind action the windows do get covered with sea spray so be prepared to do a little window cleaning if you are there for any length of time. If you are there for only 3 or 4 days then you would hope they are done before your arrival.
Hopefully before your vacation at this spectacular site they replace 2 windows that look out to the ocean. The windows have broken seals and have moisture between the panes which limited the view. If they are replaced be prepared to sit and view an Imax picture of the ocean action.
My last two observations that would helpful for a longer stay would be to leave a bucket and mop so that in addition to vacuuming the floor you could mop it as well. The only other item was nobody was in to cut the grass the 3 weeks we were there.
Would we go back, it is on our list for next year!
Big Sea 4/22-23/2019
I always love this house. Suggested repairs: (1) ants in the kitchen, (2) kitchen faucet failing, (3) shower bathroom toilet continues "running," needs new float and lift arm. Otherwise, updates, new flooring, new bedding are very nice!
Big Sea was beautiful!
by Shelley S.
Thanks to the owners and Ocean Odyssey for allowing us to stay in this home. It's cozy and close to everything in Yachats. We are responsible pet owners and we thank you for allowing us to bring them!

Rainy, but Wonderful
by Robert L.
My girlfriend and I had a great stay in Big Sea. We loved seeing and hearing the waves crashing. Since our stay there last January, there had been a lot of improvements.
One small nit: The binoculars by the front window are broken (and cheap in the first place). (If I can find a good pair at a yard sale, I'll bring them next time and leave them.)
November 22, 2018 - Escapia
This was a great stay. The house was in a nice location.
Relaxing And fun. Not so privet tho, too many ppl walking in front of the house. Could have been cleaner and needs kitchen utincles restocked. Love the view and the fireplace. We will go back. We been staying at ocean odaccy vac houses for years now.

Most Pleasant Stay
Our third trip to Yachats. First time in this home. Very well situated home with great views. The home was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we wanted and needed.
Great view, peaceful four days
by Randall W.
This is one of our favorite houses from Ocean Odyssey because of its water front view and its location within an easy walk to town and to tide pools. The beds were comfortable, and the set-up of the living room and dining nook were sensible. The kitchen possibly needs a vent fan over the stove, as there is a bit of a smell of old grease there. The water-saving toilets always seem on the verge of failing to flush, which has happened in the past, but they did OK this time. The internet connection was too slow to play games or watch videos, but we were able to check email and, with a bit of waiting, look at the online menus of local restaurants like Ona and The Drift Inn.
A Perfect Spot
We stay at Big Sea two or three times a year, and we're never disappointed.
LOVED it!
by alicia m.
We loved this place! The yards are perfectly fenced in for our pooch. The house is a perfect walking distance to town. And the view of the ocean from the windows is breathtaking. The home is comfortable and clean and really delightful. I hate to give a good review because I don't want so many people staying here and taking my reservation time! LOVED this place. I will stay here many times in the future.
Big Sea Stay
by Laura A.
I felt the rental was comfortable and nice enough. the added charges were pretty excessive for the condition of the property. some dishes were dirty and the auto dishwasher was pretty low grade. The VCRs did not work on DVDs. The view was great and we had a great weekend.
Relax away from it all.
We spend a lot of time in Walport and Newport so it was a bit of a drive but great views in the morning and at night. Love the hike at Perpetua. Wish the Amanda trail was marked better. We really wanted to take that hike as well but couldn't find the lower trailhead from the Beachside route. House was well kept just a little dusty. Good rate for a great place. Thank you!
Big Sea
While the house is a bit shabby and needs some repairs, it seems basically sound and is a good value for the money. The oceanfront location, with its proximity to the 804 Trail and downtown Yachats, is absolutely superb.

MY HAPPY PLACE
I have stayed here many times - and as always it was fantastic - The closeness of the ocean and the view made for exciting storm watching, clear skys brought out whales and sea birds- I love the sound of the rain on the roof (can't hear that in most other homes). Also the location made it easy to get into town for groceries or dinner out.
- being disabled,I found the staff, both Ocean Odyssey & house maintenance crews were most accomindating -

Big Sea House
Every year we look forward to our stay at the Big Sea House. We especially love the big windows that offer an amazing view of the ocean. The folks at Ocean Odyssey feel like family. They always go out of their way to accommodate any extra needs we may have. We can't imagine a more perfect place to spend a few days on the coast!

We are from Maryland and this was a great spot for our first visit to the Oregon Coast. Great viewing of gray whales outside and through the many windows. Our experience could not have been better.
August 14, 2013 - Escapia
Great location; okay property
INCREDIBLE location! The house itself is a little shabby, and didn't seem entirely clean -- nothing egregious, just not bright and shining clean. But, a great location!
Rocks
Beautiful views but not the best stretch of beach for general walking. Very rocky tide pool area so as far as tide pooling it's great but for miles of relaxing beach walks or jogs this isn't the best stretch of beach for those activities.
Fantastic Location, Tired House
The location of this home is fantastic - you sit on the couch and gaze out over the ocean through 3 huge panes of glass. From that perspective, it is magical. It's easily within walking distance of the grocery store and restaurants. I also really appreciated having a garage for the car. The house itself is rather "tired", tho. The exterior needs to be painted, the chairs on the deck are all cracked, and the interior furniture is mismatched and may very well have come from a 2nd hand store. So if you are looking for a warm, inviting home, this probably isn't it. But if you are looking for a functional place to stay with an exquisite view and room for 4 -6 people, this is the perfect spot for you.
Good time
by Karen E.
House has a fabulous location, great amenities. Would stay again if they added room darkening curtains to the master bedroom and bed wasnt very comfortable. It was so light in the room we didnt sleep much. Fabulous view of ocean from living room! Very clean, great fireplace, 🙂
