Elderly parents coast trip
My older parents wanted to see the coast so we booked this rental. Very easy for them to access the limited steps and bedroom close to the bathroom. There is one step from the bedroom to the bathroom that they did not have any problem with. The view was as advertised and good. Access to the beach was not possible for them but can drive just up the road to Smelting Sands or Yachats for that. The house is dog friendly with a fenced yard which was great!

Sweet Cottage with a great view!
My 85 year old mom came with me to Yachats to dip her toes in the sand probably for the last time and this cute cozy cottage was perfect for us. She had the best view from a comfy chair faced to the ocean. Thank you for sharing your place!

Relaxing Trip
by Liz P.
We got the quiet vacation we were looking for. Blue skies cooperated too. Very clean and comfortable. Well stocked. Nice ocean view. Tons of books and board games. The beds downstairs were just fine. Upstairs needs new mattress. No direct access to beach. Bathtubs could use better slipping protection. We’re seniors and did slip a bit. The threshold at the front door is about to come off. The dishwasher needs new rack. The spokes are worn. We still very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing with us. Definitely, would rent again!

Perfect Spot!
by Susan K.
Clean and well appointed. Loved the views and proximity to 804 trail.
Mixed blessings
This is an interesting place to stay, beach access is tricky but ultimately doable. The view of the ocean from the home is limited but just step outside and walk a bit. Downstairs is great, upstairs not so much. The management company is GREAT - I locked myself out as I was packing up and they had someone out to let me in very quickly. I recommend this place as long as you know what you are getting.
Great stay
dealing with expedia was not fun. They don't give enough info and gave no answers to questions. After booking, I wasn't able to get ahold of them. I will never do business through them again. Fortunately Ocean Odyssey called at some point and they were great. Helpful and professional, I'll be booking directly through them in the future.
The place was very sweet, fully stocked kitchen, lots of towels, very clean and comfortable, lovely location, great price...
Wonderful stay
by Rick L.
Love this place and would get it again.
It was an okay stay!
The rental location was wonderful, very close to Yachats but definitely outside the main town, with great views of the ocean and beach from the living room. Our main issues were that this location isn't great for anyone ~6ft tall, shower head was very low, window frames also low, garage very low, etc. There are oddly at least 4 cameras sitting in different windows of the house next door, all pointing away from that house and towards the rental, such that we felt the need to pull up blinds for privacy. No clear indications of whether the neighborhood has access to the beach, unless you read other reviews to learn of the steps near the creek. Lots of "no, please, be gentle" notes on nearly every wall, which made it hard to feel comfortable using the space. There's a CD player and a speaker with only a iPad dock. Heating was tricky to fine tune with not every heater being attached to thermostat, upstairs and bathroom with tub are either very cold or very hot.

Lovely Stay in Yachats
by Stacey B.
Home is clean. Both bathrooms are in the first floor. Master bedroom is amazing. Beds are comfortable. Lots of options for seating. Short, one block walk on 101 to 804 trail. Opened window in bedroom with twin beds to help with musty smell. Quiet neighborhood.

Excellent Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Serendipity. The neighborhood is quiet plus the ocean is a short walk away. The laundry sink was just the right size to wash the sand off our westie's feet which was much appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped and I like the floor plan, clean cozy furniture plus the large upstairs master bedroom. Katie was a big help when we needed an extra parking space one night.

Nice location
by William P.
Well equiped, too many frying pans! The rental really needs an outdoor barbecue. Also, too many no no notes around. Great view of the ocean, but probably a tough walk to the beach for seniors.

Lovely, as Always
by Sharon H.
I'm not much for writing reviews, so will simply say that Serendipity is our home away from home, which is why we try to return multiple times a year.
The house was very clean and large enough for our family.
by Kristina G.
The downstairs bedroom has 2 twin beds, very comfy. The king bedroom upstairs was also comfortable and the view from upstairs is amazing. The great room has enough space to spread out and enjoy the view. The kitchen is well equipped. It is a troublesome walk to the beach for anyone with mobility issues. We enjoyed our stay.
So peaceful
by Sheryl R.
We were delighted by the proximity to the beach, the beauty of the interior and exterior deck/gardens. Definitely would stay again!

Serendipity stay
Because one of the base board heaters was not working the house was cold. We were offered a space heater which saved the day. Except of course when the poser went out, three times. But that was beyond anyone’s control. Only other suggestion would be to say the beginning of the 804 trail is a short walk away because there is no way to access the trail directly to the house. One main reason we rented Serendipity was that we thought it did have direct access.
Only other disappointment is no bathroom on the second floor where the beautiful king size bed is located. For people of a certain generation a nearby bathroom is essential. Overall it was a comfortable situation and we look forward to renting something from you another time.

Seredipity
by Sharon W.
Good location, great ocean view, nicely furnished and well equipped. Water drainage issue affecting small bedroom and hallway, leading to musty,moldy smell.

Wonderful Ocean Views
My favorite room is the large upstairs master bedroom. The layout of the home is great with good privacy and a well stocked kitchen. Very clean!

August Serendipity Review
by Sharon H.
As always, we loved staying at Serendipity, a place that we refer to as our home away from home.
This is the first time, in the many years and visits that we've been coming, that I am leaving comments that are less than stellar. The issue is cleanliness. We are paying more than we ever have for the cleaning service, but found ourselves doing a lot more cleaning, and that we from the moment we arrived. The kitchen reeked of bacon grease and we had to take to cleaning every surface, particularly in and around the stove and microwave, to get rid of the smell. Also, the bathroom with the off the kitchen had a urine-like smell that we could not get rid despite multiple interventions.There was orangey face foundation on both pillow shams in the room with two twin beds that we had to spot clean and wash (got it out!).Then there were small things like coffee grounds still in the coffee maker. Also, for four people staying for six days, there was very little toilet paper available. We're fine about brining our own, but because we never had to before, we were caught unprepared.
None of this will discourage us from staying again. We understand the employment challenges there on the coast (and everywhere), but when we're paying more for a clean home, we don't expect to work so much ourselves for the standard that we've always had there. Best, Jay & Sharon

Lovely!
by Kellie S.
We had a wonderful time at Ocean Odyssey. It was very comfortable and had a nice view of the ocean. Ocean access was close. It was well appointed and had everything that we needed. Hoping to stay here again!
Good overall stay
by Heather L.
The rental was in a great location, quiet and inviting. We did run into some dirty towels and dishes but after cleaning all was good
Ocean Odyssey vacation rentals in Yachats is the best!
by Jean E.
Superior management and personal care from Peter and Katie at Ocean Odyssey!
Wonderful little house
The rental was super clean and nice. Except for the flys that inundated the bathrrom across from the stairs we were super happy with it. We had to quit using that bathroom because the flys just kept getting in. There were probably 50 dead flys I killed in that bathroom. We couldn't figure out how they kept getting in.
All you would need for a beach stay
This house is located in a quiet spot with a beautiful view. It had all the amenities you would need for your stay. Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms, etc. It was very clean when we arrived and had good instructions. We had a great stay and look forward to staying again.
