Wonderful views to relax
by Mary F.
We stayed at blue bird cottage for the first time in October. The house is very clean and cozy. The place is pretty well equipped and the downstairs bathroom is great. The kitchen was definitely workable . The front fenced off area was great for the dog and the beds slept very comfortably. Loved the back deck and views are awesome. The only problem we had was the tile floor in the kitchen. A couple of them aren’t quite level and I tripped on them and face planted and cut my lip. I’m only adding this because I want people to be aware of it. Otherwise, we’re definitely going to try to stay again.

Our best beach trip! This is the cutest quaint cottage.Love It!
We feel it's perfect for two to four at the most.
Katie at the office was beyond kind and the whole experience was a heartfelt memory. This was beloved Mothers favorite beach, and I can understand completely!

Our stay at the Blue Bird
The cottage is a very nice place with direct access to the beach. It was clean and comfortable. We had the option to cook our own meals but we went out a lot because of the proximity to both Waldport and Yachats.

Best little cottage on the coast!
by Julie and Eric D.
We have been staying at this cottage every year for many years. It's the perfect location to stay. The house is very well kept.Its always clean when we arrive. It has all the amenities you need. You can even look out of the upstairs window and see the spout of a whale or two, along with seals swimming by. Only a few steps down from the deck and you're on the beach. I love it. Can't wait until next year!

Blue Bird Cottage

We enjoyed our stay in cottage very much. Beach access was wonderful to have as we enjoyed our walks morning and afternoon. Place was clean and nice and quiet. We would stay again.

Perfectly accomodated our family beach vacation
by Jonathan B.
I will state first that my priority was the beach, not the house. I can understand if someone is renting a home in the woods in the winter for Thanksgiving with family, that the luxury of the house would play an important role, but some reviews I've read for classic beach cabins show that too many people just want it all, all the time. Well, you can have that, but trust me, you'll pay for it. The Blue Bird gave us a private deck, literally steps away from a virtually private beach, with ample parking, separate sleeping areas, view facing windows and sliding doors, and cozy indoor sitting areas, all for what I would have paid for ****** hotel rooms for 4 people, sharing rooms, etc. I will admit that I am not picky, I'm not a germaphobe, and I am most certainly NOT a chef. So yes, the house has some slight drawbacks that didn't really bother me. The kitchen is tiny and a little bit of a juggle for food prep, the queen murphy bed downstairs was like a big marshmallow that swallowed me into the middle, but my wife wasn't with us on this trip so it was fine for just me. And yeah, the whole place is the exact same amount of run down you would expect from a classic 1970s era beach cabin. The description does in fact call it a "cottage", and I agree. I wasn't looking for fancy or luxurious. The pictures looked shabby chic, and that's exactly how we found it. On the upsides, communication from the rental company was excelllent throughout, the shower is awesome, and the hot water did not disappoint, there were ample towels, sheets and blankets, dish soap, and laundry detergent. But the deck, oh my did my daughters and I enjoy it. We did not eat a single meal indoors over our stay. When it was rainy we pulled chairs in front of the open sliding glass doors. The only thing I would change would be to move the highway about 500 yards to the east, and of course that's not the house's fault. If I need a beach cabin again, the Blue Bird makes the list.
Amazing beach cottage
by Paul M.
The mostly private beach is right out the back door. Short drive to town. Cozy home with everything needed -- it was perfect for our family of 5.
Love this Place
by Virginia M.
This was my second stay at Bluebird Cottage! It felt like coming home, cozy clean and affordable. If you get a chance to stay here take it! Centrally located, but hey what's better than listening to the surf 24 hours a day. Waking up to a beautiful beach everyday, driving the scenic PCH does it get any better?
Great beach cottage
Cute place, wonderful views and a super beach right out the back door. Small problem with fireplace/ heater unit and representative arrived 20 minutes after we called to fix.
Great place to unwind
Home was cute had character great beach access very relaxing definitely would rent again
Blue Bird Cottage is a wonderful place
We rented this property for five nights last week for our second annual trip to the Oregon Coast. Weather was touch and go but the cottage was a great respite when weather prevented outdoor activities. We were without WiFi when we checked in on Saturday night and the problem was resolved on Sunday morning with the help of the property management company. Bravo for the timely response.
Good value
Great location
February 26, 2024 - Escapia
Excellent Upgrade!
We had originally rented another property only to discover the hot water heater was broken. Management responded promptly and moved us to this adorable cottage for the remainder of our stay. The pictures don't do it justice. The cabin is absolutely adorable and was perfect for me and two teenagers. They have earned life-long repeat business from my family and I'm singing praises to anyone who will listen.

New Years at the Beach

Great Beach Access
by Sara D.
Was at the the cabin during winter stormy weather. It was very cosy and snug. It is a great beach to walk - wide, long, and flat when the storm has laid down. Stairs to the beach made it very accessible.

Our favorite place to stay on the Oregon coast.
by Julie and Eric D.
We love staying at Blue Bird Cottage. It's the perfect location on the Central coast of Oregon. Easy walk to the beach from the back deck. Updated shower is beautiful. Very convenient for exploring this part of the coast. Love this place.

A Real Beachy Stay
by Charlotte S.
The cottage is everything a beach cottage should be. The beaches are wide and great for walks, the interior decorating full of the colors and knickknacks one would expect and want and the two towns near, Waldport and Yachats were interesting and had some great restaurants. It was peaceful as we watched the ocean change moods every 15 minutes and then grandly finish off with stunning sunsets.

Great family spot on central coast
by Elizabeth K.
Our family loved this cute (and a little quirky) house just south of Waldport and right on the beach. Plenty of room for us, with all the amenities and comforts we hope for when we visit the Oregon Coast.
Blue bird
by Norene Z.
We had a little trouble with blinds some didnt work at all, and there was a a lot of sand in the shower. As well i had to sweep up in the bedroom downstairs looked like dog hair. Other than that was great.
Our Go To Vacation Rental
by Adrienne M.
We have vacationed on the OR Coast just about every year for over 18 years now. We love renting our home away from home via Ocean Odyssey Vacation Rentals. We have stayed in this cottage a few times now. We love the direct beach access and the cozy feel of the home. Just a 20 min drive in either direction to restaurants and great beach combing areas!
Beautiful beach

Great Getaway Cottage
by Julie and Eric D.
I love this place! We've been staying here for several years now. The location is great. There's easy access to the beach. The cottage is very cozy and has all the amenities that are needed. I love the upgraded shower. The perfect getaway.
Excellent Beachfront Cottage
by Lisa C.
Wonderful location, clean and comfortable cabin. Master bathroom was amazing. Staircase to the beach and great back deck fir drinking coffee and watching sunsets. Will definitely stay here again
Small cottage with a big view
Beautiful location. It's so nice to be able to walk down a path to such a big deserted beach. House was very clean. We will come again!
Beach Cottage
by Pat S.
Right on the beach. Fairly binoculars! This our 2nd year and I still can't find the binoculars. Perfect for family of 4.
Amazing views!
by Kara M.
House is very sweet and cozy with beautiful views! Peter was so helpful when I called we will definitely be back!!
It’s all about the view
by Debra P.
Bluebird is a lovely cottage right on the beach. What a spectacular view from a very nice deck plus your own private, well constructed stairs to the wonderful big stump beach. You can relax in bed and watch the ocean. The cottage itself is very nicely furnished, kitchen adequately stocked. TVs in every bedroom plus the living room, if that’s your thing. I had a lovely stay.
Great little house
by Lucinda H.
We loved this little home. Had fantastic views and just steps away from the beach.

Truly a Gem!
by Lisa P.
I had a wonderful experience at Blue Bird Cottage. I wish I had longer to stay! The cottage is charming and has everything I need, and the location on the beach is just perfect. It was a little bit hard to find, and I drove past it a couple of times, but that doesn't bother me. There is no delivery to be had, so make sure to bring your food and snacks, or be prepared to drive to Waldport or Yachats.

Great Location
by Adrienne M.
Cozy cottage right on the beach. We have stayed here a few times now. Love the proximity to Waldport and Yachats. My only suggestion would be to have salt and pepper available as well as a can opener in the kitchen. Also, the white towels could use a good bleach, the washcloths in particular are more light beige then white. Overall, fairly clean for a home on the beach that does allow dogs. We plan to stay again.

BB cottage at Waldport
Instructions under "Things to Bring" listed Firewood. We purchased a box of firewood at the grocery store in Yachats but discovered on arrival at the cottage that there was a gas fireplace. The WiFi instructions were not clear, as well as for the TV usage. It did not appear as clean as perceived, but that may have been due to the age of the place. The lock on the diningroom sliding door required some manueuvering to work. Could use some hooks for hanging clothing and bars for wet towels. A very cute house and right off the beach, which we enjoyed.

Blue Bird Cottage Experience
by Virginia M.
The property was exactly as described, the location was phenomenal. Having the washer and dryer was a nice convenience. Beds were comfortable, and the area was quite. We enjoyed traveling around the area during the day especially to Yachats, it was an easy drive to local sightseeing points of interest. Local businesses were friendly and we enjoyed coming back to the Blue Bird Cottage with the beach right outside the back door! Morning beach walks and beautiful sunsets. Communication with management company was great, thank you for a great stay
Beach Cottage

beach access out the back door. I would stay there again.

Wonderful Getaway
by Penny G.
A cozy, well supplied, comfortable cottage on the beach. The location to the beach allows one to walk out the back door, sip coffee on the deck while taking in the amazing view, then down the stairs for a lovely walk on the beach. At night the waves provide a soothing comfort for a deep restful sleep! This is my overall favorite vacation home.

Relaxing Long Weekend
by Lisa S.
Although this place is located right on Hwy 101, once you are inside the house - where everything is oriented toward the ocean - that becomes a moot point. Cozy cottage with great deck and unobstructed views of the Pacific - perfect for this couple and our dog, who have already rebooked for this summer (well, technically the humans did the rebooking :O)

Blue Bird Cottage
by Kelly J.
The BBC is the cutes place with steps right to the open, spacious beach!! There was one slight bedding issue, however, and when I called the property manager he not only was very apologetic, he went to Fred Meyer himself and bought a brand new Sherpa comforter and sheet set and delivered them to us with in the hour! He also cleaned up the trash that blew out of the trash bin that the garbage company failed to pick up! He was the very best that customer service represents and he is the reason this place is so efficient and kept so nice! He was our hero for sure!! Th Blue Bird Cottage is the epitome that of a great and relaxing escape!
Blue Bird Cottage is GREAT
by Kathy Y.
Great little vacation home. The deck is nice and has a great view and steps down to the beach.
Awesome
This place was fantastic. Perfect location. Perfect size.
Beach access, oh yeah!!
by Kimberly A.
Beach access is a plus! Was easy to get down on the beach, but was only able to do it for a very short time since it rained while we were there. The house was clean, and had everything that we could imagine that we needed. I would highly recommend this place to everyone! Great location and many things to do all around us!

Great beach access
Cute house, wonderful sandy beach access just down the stairs. Back deck has great view too!
Great Vacation Stay
by Gary L P.
Super nice rental. Clean, beautiful view. Great cottage with enough baths and beds and kitchen to make it a great place to stay.
Great little cottage
We loved the Bluebird Cottage. Thoughtful amenities were throughout the house (binoculars, telescope, informational literature, fully equipped kitchen), including instructions for internet, fireplace, etc. The back deck is elevated above the beach, making it a perfect place to whale watch. Many thanks. We'll be back!
Great beachfront cabin
by Darcy G.
We had an amazing week at this cute little beachfront cabin! The loft with 2 separate areas was perfect for our 10 and 15 year old, and it was pet friendly so we could bring our little rescue pup and he loved the beach! It was close to other towns but the house itself and beach was quiet and relaxing! House was well kept and had all the necessities! Would definitely stay here again!
Spring break weekend
This was a tight squeeze for 4 adults and 2 kids. The foldout couch needs to be replaced. The location is ideal. Wonderful view and beach access. Wi/Go was good but phone service is terrible. Nice little beach cottage.

Spectacular Blue Bird Cottage
by Lisa E.
This cottage was amazing. We were visiting from Alabama and not familiar with the area. The mysterious Big Stump was just a short walk on the beach. The beautiful Pacific Ocean just outside the back door. The cottage was very clean and taken care of. Everything was labeled so it was easy to use the heat, TV and other features. We hope to visit again.

Return again and again
by Eric and Julie D.
Always love staying here. Excellent location. We really like the place. Best little cottage we’ve stayed in over the past 10 years of coming to the Central Coast. Love the views and the deck. Easy access to beach. Saw wales and seals right from deck. Quiet beach. Plenty of room for the two of us inside. Dogs enjoy the fenced in front and with a baby gate and a small section of plastic fencing the back becomes enclosed for small dogs anyway. Thank you. Recommendations: 1. A deep cleaning of the floors. 2. Replace the shower ceiling fan cover immediately - awfully dirty. 3. Shower could use a curtain of sorts. That’s it. Will be back next year.
Vacation at Blue Bird Cottage
I rented the blue bird cottage for my children and I after reading multiple reviews about the location. The cottage exceeded our expectations and was absolutely amazing! It was clean, great condition, provided all of the amenities that we needed and the location couldn't have been better. Dinner every night on the deck watching the sunset while the kids played in the sand. It doesn't get much better than this location. We will be back and will recommend this place to family and friends
Blue Bird Cottage is our home away from home on the Coast
We have now stayed at Blue Bird Cottage (BBC) five times. The first four times were before the Cottage was extensively remodeled & updated. Even before the remodeling, we adored our stays at BBC. The oceanfront location, short distance from both Yachats & Waldport, layout of the house, & management company (Ocean Odyssey) were ideal for our needs & desires.
We recently stayed at BBC for 7 nights & were delighted by the remodeling! Specifically, the loft (which previously had a low ceiling) was redone so that even the tallest of us could stand up in the room. The master bedroom now had a Murphy bed with a TempurPedic mattress. We loved being able to put the bed up during the day. We love the new carpeting and new furniture--including a beautiful new sleeper sofa in the living room, new kitchen table & chairs, new Lazy Boy recliners. The owners added a dishwasher--thank you! Lights and dishes/glasses were replaced and brand new. (I personally took pride in seeing that the old-fashioned colander I purchased about 7 years ago is still with the kitchen supplies--thank you for keeping it!)There are now lots of skillets and pans. Outside are flagstones and a wash-off hose (for sandy feet from the beach, which is mere steps away).
We do have one important suggestion. BBC needs screens on the upstairs bedroom window, and on both sliding doors. We love hearing the sound of the ocean the entire time we're there, and without screens were unable to do that. Ocean Odyssey (Wendy and Eric) were terrific in resolving the bedroom screen window right away. We would have liked to have screens on the two sliding doors, too. We hope Ralph and Jo install these. Previously (several years ago), the doors had screens though of course the doors stuck and came off the frames.
Blue Bird Cottage? A winner! And our home away from home. We hope to stay there many more times. Thank you for keeping this beautiful property available for us to rent.
Loved it!
Very cute and clean. We loved being able to walk out the back door and right down to the beach. The view from the deck was great.
The only problem that we had was there was no barbeque tools for using the grill and no pans for using the oven. Other than that we loved it and will be staying again.
Thank you. We will pass this info on the the owners.
Charming little cottage
by IMELDA M.
We throughly enjoyed this little house. The small size is surpassed by the wonderful ocean views and beach access. Nicely updated with beautiful pine wood work throughout the cottage. If staying more than a couple of days bring your own paper products. Parking can be a challenge if a lot of people staying at other homes nearby. Clean and cozy. We would recommend this home.
Cute cottage
Location was excellent.....quiet beach....which drowned out the highway noise. The cottage is very cozy and clean. It is small and if you are a tall person you may have trouble with the shower and low ceilings, but overall it is a good little cottage.
A great week-end at the coast

Bluebird Cottage in Winter
by Mark P.
Fabulous little spot. Walk right onto the beach. Newly updated, nice walk-in shower, and some big TVs. Adequate parking, easy to find, and convenient to Waldport. The kitchen equipment was barely adequate, and could use some new pots and pans, utensils, etc. So if you're a foodie, bring your own, as well as some good knives. The house is part of a row of houses, which are all very close together, which was impossible to tell from the photos but a non issue, since there was no crowd in February. Loved the little place though, and plan to return. Close to the road, but close enough to the surf to drown in out. Great view from the deck. Brand new BBQ.
We will talk with the owner about putting in some new kitchen essentials. Thank you!

Clean, Quiet Retreat on the Beach
This cabin is on one of the prettiest stretches of beach in Oregon. We affectionately called it the "all you need" cabin, as it provided just enough of what we needed in a beach getaway. The perfect size for our family of three, plus pooch. I would recommend it to families looking for a simple getaway on a beautiful stretch of Oregon landscape.
January 14, 2009 - Escapia
Great winter stay
Blue Bird Cottage is a very nicely equipped cottage with direct access to the beach. Great views, comfy beds, wonderful brick fireplace, a kitchen with most everything you need. It is also close to Waldport and Yachats, Cape Perpetua for some good exploring. It is close to the other cottages on each side. During the busy months, I am sure that if you use the deck area, you will be making new friends. We hope to be back.
