This is the largest and most beautiful landscape of any house in the neighborhood. It took us a while to figure out the stubborn door lock to enter. The house accommodates 4 couples max. Two of the bedrooms share a small bath with little horizontal space to store toiletries. The master bedroom is very nice. We shared the 1 hair dryer with our friends. The chilly basement had a cute area with bunk beds for kids. The pool table was fun. Our group loves to cook. The kitchen has everything you need. Very sharp knives are a rarity in Air BnBs but there are plenty. There is a great library and lots of info about the area. We visited Tillamook Creamery, Rockaway & Cannon Beach. Views of the ocean are outstanding. The description mentions a 5 minute walk to the beach but we had to ask neighbors to find the trail. The Alexa worked for couple of days. Luckily we brought a smart speaker but the WiFi could not usually connect to the Internet. Our music was just the waves and the birds

This place was perfect for our trip. My party had 6 elderly family members and the bedrooms all on one floor was necessary and these are perfect. The views from every room are spectacular. We couldn’t have asked for more. A wonderful experience I hope to repeat.
