Oceanfront- Sea Gem Cottage

Sea Gem Cottage is an oceanfront home six miles south of Newport, Oregon. Our home now has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a loft. The entire house has been completely remodeled with the additional bedroom and loft added as of February 2016.

There are bamboo floors throughout the house and travertine tiles in the bathroom. The home is decorated with modern furnishings. There are spectacular views of the beach and surf from every room of the house. The bedrooms have queen beds with storage drawers and wardrobes for your extended stay. The downstairs great room has seating for 6 at the dining table and a wall mounted Smart television with basic cable.

Stairs from the great room lead up to the loft area. Here you can find two twin beds on the garden side of the loft and a lounge area on the ocean side.

The house sits on a 40 foot tall bluff with a private path and stairs leading to the beach. The beach stretches for miles in either direction allowing for long walks on the beach where you rarely encounter another person.

Fabulous
What a lovely stay! The place was clean and you couldn’t ask for a better view and beach access. Backing out of the driveway is tricky but doable. The climb down to the beach could be hard for older people. Make note that there is only a toaster oven, no oven. We absolutely loved it though. It’s quaint and comfortable! We will be back again! It’s adorable!

Awesome and peaceful experience
Every time my husband and I stay here we wish we had stayed longer and book our next stay for the following year. Although it rained the entire time we were there, it was still relaxing and beautiful. The neighboring small towns are fun to explore as well. The South Beach Fish Market just up the street has delicious seafood to take home. We always get the dungeness crabs (eat cold) and this time got halibut and cooked it on the charcoal BBQ for fish tacos. Best we've ever had! The hosts are very responsive and helpful!!

The best VRBO we have ever stayed in
The home was beautiful and very clean. The home also had the most comfortable beds and the warmest bedding. Everything was new and updated. Very cozy home with a beautiful yard. Our only complaint, if you could even call it a complaint, is the driveway. It was so narrow. A truck or SUV would have a very tight fit. Everything else was truly a 10/10 and we fit comfortably with a family of 4.

Fantastic as per usual
This is our second time staying here and both times it has been absolutely wonderful. The cottage is comfortable, quiet, and private; it’s perfect for a family vacation or even if you have to do some remote working like I did. It’s a very cute space that is well furnished, clean, comfortable and has everything one could need to cook your own meals. The ocean view from the backyard is spectacular and the property manager is excellent to deal with. We will definitely come back again next year!

Beauftiful home has all the amenities and then some. Lots of extra little details. Amazing location. We loved the patios and the beach being feet away from the house. The views were incredible. We even saw a bald eagle and a whale in the distance. Clean, comfortable, quiet, private and close to nearby towns with great restaurants. Many adventures in the area. Perfect litte getaway for our anniversary.

It was a wonderful house, sitting on a bluff about 20 ft up from surfline. High tide almost brings the ocean right to your doorstep (only 20 ft below). We had the beach pretty much to ourselves which was nice. House was immaculate from top to bottom. Quality kitchen, cookware and utensils. All fixtures were modern and easy to use. As 73 year-olds, we found the couch a bit uncomfortable for sitting a period of time and would have preferred adjustable chairs, but the beds were very comfortable. Only suggestion we have would be to have a railing to help you down the pathway rocks to the beach. All considered, a very nice place and will likely revisit. Our thanks to Josh.

Very relaxing
Quiet, peaceful , didn't want to come home. Everything about this home was outstanding. Lots of little touches to make our stay great. The deck made for the perfect place to watch the ocean and lay in the sun and nap . On a day of rain the house was perfect for quiet reading as the house is almost soundproof , hardly knew the hiway was there.. On a clear night the dark sky made it possible to see the Milky Way which we haven't seen for years at home because of all the light pollution . With the traffic it it best to back-in the drive to make pulling out easier and safer. It was the perfect place to spend our 58th anniversary and we hope to be able to return. It is definitely our new favorite place to stay at the coast.

Oregon Coast Get-a-Way
The property was exactly as pictured, was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and had everything we needed. The views were spectacular and I just loved listening to the waves as I fell asleep each night. It was my first time to the Oregon Coast and the Sea Gem Cottage was the perfect place to stay. Attractions were also close by, like the Aquarium, Depoe Bay, and we saw the sea lions basking in the sun in Newport Bay. Even saw some seals swimming by the lighthouse.

Our family of four (including two children ages 5 and 8) stayed here for 5 nights this summer. The cabin is super cute, clean and comfortable. The view cannot be beat! We enjoyed the proximity to lots of tourist sites and attractions. We would definitely book here again.

Beautiful Place!
Beautiful and well appointed property. The owners put a lot of thought into this place. The covered deck in the back is perfect for watching the sun set over the ocean. The driveway is very narrow. We managed a multi point turn at the end of the driveway so that we didn’t have to back out into oncoming traffic. This is the same driveway situation for many properties along the ocean. I would here again.

Amazing stay - just what we were looking for!
I was nervous, given all of the 5* reviews, that we would be disappointed, but sea gem really does live up to its incredible reputation! Fab location, between lots of amazing places to visit and eat. The cottage itself is modern, clean and spacious, with plenty of space for all 5 of us. The beach was so quiet and we rarely saw anyone else on it. Beautiful sunsets to see from the porch. Absolutely perfect!

Beautiful Views at the Sea Gem
My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at the Sea Gem. The views from the kitchen, living area and loft are spectacular and are the feature of the property. The beach has an easy access point and you can easily walk either direction without running into another person so… plenty of privacy:) The interior of the house is cute and newly updated. We loved the simplicity of the kitchen and used it a few nights to cook in. There was a paper towel holder but paper towels were nowhere to be found. Maybe you have to bring your own? We were unsure. Two points of caution, we had limited service on the property. Our provider is Verizon and our coverage is typically pretty good. That said, when I arrived I was unable to access the property info on my phone to gain access to the house due to the limited service. Ultimately I had to hop in the car to head back towards Newport to get service and screenshot the info. Secondly and it was brought up in other reviews but backing out onto the highway is a bit sketchy. There is an overgrown bush on the property north of the Sea Gem that adds to the challenge. I have a Toyota 4Runner and backing out really didn’t seem like a safe option so I would pull over before entering the driveway and would back into the property. This helps but the poor visibility with the bush still isn’t ideal. That said, we had a great stay on this beautiful property and loved the privacy and the oceanfront views!

3 night Getaway
We rounded out our trip to Oregon for a family wedding with a 3 night stay at the Sea Gem. What an amazing property with gorgeous views. We were even lucky enough to see 2 pods of whales spouting and breaching from the front porch one evening! Well stocked with basic necessities, including laundry detergent, toilet paper and paper towels. Gas grill noted, however not noted in listing. Property is located on Highway 101, but wasn’t too difficult when coming and going. Hoping to return next year!

Sweet little place by the sea!
Our family of 4 really enjoyed our three night stay on the coast at the Sea Gem. It was so nice to drink our morning coffee looking out to the foggy coastline from the back porch and take a short walk down the rocky steps to the beach each day. Our boys (6 and 4 y/o) enjoyed sleeping in the loft and were able to manage the ladder with ease. Out of caution, we did instruct them not to come down without our permission and supervision as it is quite steep. There is a bit of road noise and it can be tricky getting out of the driveway as the house sits just off 101, but for us this was easily forgiven for the benefits of being so close to the coast and falling asleep to the sounds of the sea.

Beautiful little cottage, very tastefully decorated and lovely furnishings. However, it's bear bones. Not even an extra garbage bag. If you pack it in, you pack it out so you better bring what you want. The driveway opens onto Hwy 101 and there's not enough room to turn around. You have to back out onto the Hwy so bring along a partner to direct the traffic.
