Right on the ocean. Rooms updated and clean. Amber, the manager was gracious, helpful, and accomodating.
UPDATE June 2025: Came back and stayed again. Still same beautiful place. Unfortunately this time, the bed had an extremely hard and cheap mattress with a thin topper. Needless to say, it was really uncomfortable. Didn't sleep well at all, and was so disappointed with this change. I ended up sleeping apart from my husband on the couch. It really affected my overall happiness with our stay. Not only that, the WiFi was nonexistent for a lot of our stay. It's important when you don't have a great signal and it was really inconsistent. ________________________________ Absolute perfection! I cried when i had to leave. My husband and I will definitely stay longer next time. Everything was newly renovated (we were there in may 2013), wonderfully decorated and beautiful. The place was immaculate, the bed was amazingly comfortable and the view was unbelievable. i would recommend this place to anyone. Make sure you make it for sunset - it's not to be missed!!
Totally loved my trip here. The staff was amazing, the room was beautiful and the price was fair. My only complaint was that during my visit, the room I was in had a broken tub. I would have loved to have soaked. I will definitely be returning here sometime soon.
I hesitate even reviewing or sharing info as I want it to be our secret. We were blown away by every aspect of our stay. We happened upon it by just passing by. The staff is amazing, the cleanliness perfect and access to beach so lovely. Minimal decor (which is what I love). We are already discussing when to return. Perfection! Thank you!
We had such an enjoyable stay at the Wayside Lodge in Yachats, Oregon. We were in the Whale Watcher room and the views were gorgeous - a quick walk down to the beach. The owner was helpful and very personable.
I’m not understanding any of the negative reviews. I think some people just choose to be perpetually unhappy with everything. This place was amazing, right on the beach, excellent service, kind staff, and the perfect beach cottage, exactly how a beach cottage should be. If you’re used to fancy, bloated, overdone huge so-called beach “cottages” you won’t like this place because they embody what an Oregon beach cottage should be: Quaint, rustic, cozy, simple. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. I’ve already got my week next year reserved! Please don’t change a thing!
This place is so cute! My in laws having been staying here every summer for a couple of years and we visited with them for a bit at their spot here. The view from their picture windows out to the water makes me want to stay there too, now.
Wonderful, clean, cozy, excellent value! Room number 6, the cottage out on the point. So beautiful! Host was super nice. But no shampoo or conditioner, I think that's the only downside. Would definitely stay again and I highly recommend this place!
