The Beach Retreat

This was a somber moment, celebrating the life of my Mother, who favorite beach was Oceanside/Happy Camp.
The only complaint I have, is I got asked for a review before I had check out.

We are a group of 5 friends that came for a weekend away. The house was very clean and comfortable. The host was very helpful and friendly. We wil definitely be coming back!

Just spent 3 nights with 5 good friends at Beach Retreat, was perfect. A perfect place to relax, prepare wonderful dinners, walk on the beach, and relax and laugh with good friends. We have made our reservations for next year and added one more night.

Girls getaway. Lots of room for all of us. Great views!

You can't beat spending time at this well appointed beach house in Netarts. I hope to return as soon as possible! Everything you could possibly want is right at your fingertips. We loved the view and the long beach walks that we took every day. To the owners and caretakers, thank you for sharing your home!

The house was clean, comfortable, spacious, and situated right on the water.

Our family has rented The Beach Retreat and other Shore Thing Vacation Rentals in Netarts, Oregon for many summers. The Beach Retreat has always been our favorite home. The remodel on this home has made it so comfortable. We absolutely loved it.

This house is wonderful for a large family or group of adult friends. Private bathrooms for each bedroom is a lovely luxury. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. The beach view and access is perfect for the peaceful walks along the sand. Great all around place to stay!

It was a great house but a pretty long walk to the ocean the bay was bigger than I expected

This house is probably the best we've found in the area for multiple family use. We have shared this house with 4 generations for three years straight now and will keep coming back. With 5 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and 4 of those rooms having queen or king beds (the 5th is a bunk room) it works perfectly for 4 adult couples (Our parents, us, our kids and their spouses) and then the grandkids in the bunk room. I've stayed in multiple houses in this area and this is the only one, to my knowledge, with this particular bedroom configuration.

It's just a staircase and walk across the lawn to the beach. With outside shower for sand, and a firepit in the grassy area as well as ample parking space, it really can't be beat.

The common area is a bit small if you have a whole house full, but really, if the weather is at all decent, I'm not personally spending a bunch of time inside. The kitchen is great.

The propert manager is extremely responsive if there is any issue that needs addressed.

Really lovely house, very clean, great location. Lots of space for three families and right on the beach!

Beautiful view and home! Especially nice to have 4 ensuites! Sarah with a Shore Thing was so awesome to work with!

Great property! Very spacious with amazing views and beach access. Highly recommended!

We are very pleased with the location, the condition of the home, and Shore thing. They proactively messaged us letting us know it would be available early. Would definitely stay with them next time!

Our second gathering of 7 good female friends, perfect for everyone, walk on beach, bird watching, counting pelicans and seals. Everything we needed for 3 wonderful nights. Sarah was efficient, friendly, no complaints.

Fabulous home with room for everyone. Many activities available for all.

2nd year staying in one of the 3 fabulous homes on stilts. Weather was beautiful, access to the beach for long walks, just a great place to unwind and truly relax. My family loves it here!

House was clean and had all the cooking supplies you would need.

What a beautiful home in the perfect location! Sitting in the living room watching the kids play on the beach is a pretty special experience! The views are perfect for sunsets and interesting sights all day. The house itself was outfitted with everything you need for a wonderful vacation!

This rental is great for a large group. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom, which is amazing! The toiletries provided are a thoughtful touch. The bedrooms are peaceful, and the linens nice. I do think it's time to replace all the pillows since they were very thin and well used. Its also time to either rotate or replace the mattresses.

The kitchen is lovely and there are plenty of tools, pans, pots, etc. The living room area has a great view of the bay, and the beach access is so easy. It would be nice to have some additional seating around the fire pit.

We will absolutely stay here again!!

This house is on the beach - meaning you can walk to the beach just outside of the back yard. Not 50 yards, not just over the sand dune - it is on the beach which is wonderful. The variations of the sand between high and low tide, the ocean vs bay, and the wildlife made the views from the house very interesting.
The house was very comfortable for the 4 couples, clean and well maintained. Lots of bedroom space, less living room/dining room space than expected. It was big enough for us in nice weather, but you would have had to use the dining room table if you wanted to do a puzzle.
The area was quiet. We did walk to Oceanside and had lunch at the Oceanside Surf Company's small restaurant. Cafe and lunch offerings - much better than you would think from the outside.
It's just a short drive to Munson Falls, Cape Lookout, Sitka Sedge Natural Area, and other areas for hiking.
As you can see from our ratings, this was an excellent place to stay.

I have stayed in this house multiple times over the years, and this was the second time we have stayed in it since it was added on to. It works so well for our family as it has four big bedrooms with either a queen or kind size bed AND a bunk room with two bunk beds (4 beds). Every bedroom has it's own bathroom, plus a a half bath in the hallway. So 5 bedrooms, 6 baths. And the rest of it is open kitchen/livingroom concept. All right on the beach. It works really well for our group, which consists of my parents, my husband and I, our two kids and their spouses, and our 3 grandchildren. Love the yard and firepit and ample space.

The house was clean and ready to go. And the property manager is pretty readily available for anything you need. We needed the outside foot shower turned on, as it hadn't been turned on from winter yet, and I called pretty late in the afternoon, and she came out the next morning to turn it on.

I would absolutely recommend this rental to any large groups that want some equitable bedrooms for their party, and space to come together.

Occasional vacationer.

Beautiful Location

The Beach Retreat is a beautiful home with an amazing view of the bay.
It’s very clean and well appointed throughout.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend trip and hope to go back soon for a longer stay.
Sarah, with Shorething, is outstanding to work with, honestly the best property manager I’ve ever dealt with!

The house was wonderful, great location right on the water, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, each bedroom w/it’s own updated bathroom AND even a guest bathroom! Worked fantastic for the seven women that were staying there. We are already planning our next trip! Most said it was the best house they’ve ever stayed at!

Our experience vastly exceeded our expectations. The house was in a great location, was well-stocked, and fit our family nicely. Sarah the property manager was a great communicator, responsive, and kind. Looking foward to returning next year.

Wonderful. Our rental felt clean and very easy to move into and get comfortable. The cleaning staff was amazing and worked hard to allow us to check in early with 2 kids under 2. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

13 years with Shore Thing and always a great time

OUR FAMILY HAS ENJOYED THIS PLACE FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS
AND WE LOVE TO CRAB. THE RENTAL IS SO CLEAN AND LOVE
TO WATCH THE OCEAN. THANKS AGAIN !!

Our family has been taking a fall trip to the Oregon coast every other year for the last 10 years with three other couples and this was by far the best location and house
we have rented so far and just appreciated everything about the property! Thank you from all of us!

Our family has been staying up and down the northern Oregon Coast from Pacific City to Cannon Beach for years, always on the lookout for great locations and accommodations. This home may be as close to perfect as we’ve found. Great location with easy beach access and plenty of room for an extended family of eight. Access to the loft would be nice for older children, but understand safety/liability issues. The sandbar at the mouth of the bay makes for gentler surf, making it less worrisome having toddlers and young children on the beach. While not a beach for combing, it’s wide, long and sandy. There’s plenty of combing to be had a short distance up the Cape Loop at Tunnel Beach and Short Beach. It’s a quick drive to Tillamook for any needs. This is a property we’d stay at again!

4 Family's stayed with plenty of room for all.

We enjoyed our stay. This is the second time staying at this home and we are already planning our return trip. Sheila and Monica are wonderful to work with. The home is perfect with plenty of bathrooms for everyone. The view from the dining room is therapy. Now that we know clamming is available just steps away, we'll be better prepared when we return.

This is our second time staying at this house, and we would recommend it to anyone. Spacious bedrooms, individual bathrooms. Only thing I would say is that the common areas are smaller then other houses, so if you want a house that have multiple hangout areas, this one isn't it. This house is awesome for introverts who like their own rooms but also like occasionally hanging out together. We had a few maintenance issues that showed up, but based on the first time we stayed, confident they will get fixed. Quiet neighborhood, no thru traffic. We did plenty of crabbing! Management responds immediately to emails. WiFi in house is pretty good, cell reception iffy. Overall great place to stay at the beach.

I loved staying in this house with my adult children, their kids and my parents. We have stayed in this house multiple times over the years prior to it being added onto, but with less people and family configurations. When I found that it had been expanded I thougth it was the perfect house for all of us. It is really nice that it has FOUR bedrooms that all have at least a queen size bed in them, in addition to the bunkroom for kids. That is so nice when you have a bunch of couples in your group. Every single bedroom also has it's own bathroom, in addtion to another bathroom for common use. The rooms are big too, they didn't squeeze too much into tiny spaces. It is so comfortable and spacious. The large open kitchen and living room is such a nice gathering spot. And the yard and beach access is top notch. This is probably my new go to house for our annual family excursion to Netarts Bay. Loved it.

This house is amazing it’s a great location very close to Tillamook and right on the beach everything is brand new and very well equipped we will return

Perfect and enjoy with family and friends

We had a wonderful time the home was absolutely perfect for all of us and the kids. By the way the weather was awesome which is a little unusual.

Our family has been gathering at Netarts for 12 years. The location is great, nice beach and peaceful. Have stayed in the Reunion and the Beach Retreat. Units are clean and comfortable.

Views and beach access can't be beat. Very comfortable. Communication with housekeeping prompt and very friendly. We had a great time. Only suggestions: Add better window treatment for king bedroom facing water to block out light(curtains not quite wide enough) and we could not locate a colander in kitchen. Also maybe add note about how to operate dishwasher--hard to know if it was set. Tech challenged retirees here

My friends were all very impressed with the location and house. Feels larger than it is - all one level. Every room has its own bathroom. BRING your own bluetooth music player. Maybe provide more than ONE key... could use instructions on TV maybe?

We had a retreat with 6 people that couldn't have been more magical. Plenty of space with 5 bedrooms and spectacular views. Sarah the manager was terrific in addressing taking care of any small request. Can't go wrong with this perfect location right on Netarts Bay

This house was the best house we’ve stayed at, and we stayed at many. House was clean, fully stocked, bathrooms for every room, perfect location, and just great overall! Highly recommend.

The home is everything it says. Plenty of room for our 3 family's. Having 5 1/2 baths is the best!!

The home is well supplied and comfortable, with many bedrooms, living space is small for the number of bedrooms but for our group of 6 was perfect . We spent most of our time together was outside enjoying the view, clamming, crabbing, and kite flying..
The rental company is fabulous. They quickly responded to a small issue with the malfunctioning fire alarm .

This was a spectacular experience from beginning to end. The beach house was happily situated right in front of the sand and water ... you wouldn't have to leave the house to enjoy the ocean as you would have access to the beach. The house was immaculate, gorgeous and clean floors, comfortable beds, an updated en-suite bathroom in every room and a fully stocked kitchen. The master bedroom with the huge window faced the ocean for a fantastic view. Beds were also very comfortable. If you enjoy watching movies while relaxing then the large tv in the living room with many channels and access to premium movies would be a hit! This was also the first beach house we rented where the internet was not slow and spotty, truly a reliable internet connection. There was also so many extras offered by this beach home, my husband had a great time shooting hoops in the front yard, bonfire for those cool nights in the front yard facing the ocean, there was also a grill although we did not use it. The Shore Thing Vacation Rentals service was also unmatched! There were chocolates and a thoughtful note from Sarah that will greet renters when they get to the beach house. Sarah responded to all our inquiries immediately providing the renters security that if anything needed attention it will be addressed. The Beach Retreat offered us a hassle-free and wonderful time in Netarts.

The house was perfect. We really enjoyed the beach front and every family had its own private bathroom, plenty of parking a basketball court, we can ask for more.Sheila was wonderful to work with. She is extremely responsive in answering questions and was very welcoming. We enjoyed the house so much we're already planning to return next year. The for about 30 minutes.only drawback and it's not with the house. If you plan to travel from Portland to Tillamook, just know that there's a stretch for about 30 minutes where there's no cell phone service. We've already informed our friends of this place.

This house is amazing. We stayed their prior to remodel and it was so great we wanted to revisit the area. However, we didn’t know we were renting the same house again on our second trip. The remodel is amazing. Rooms are huge and great for multiple couples or family trip with adult children. Lots of space even if you are stuck inside with rainy weather. We can’t wait to visit again for a third time.

The house is roomy nice house to spread out everything was clean only thing was the dishwasher was not working and that is a hassle even though they gave us paper plates you still have pots and pans and bowls but overall it was a great time very nice home.

We loved The Beach Retreat when we stayed here two years ago. Since the remodel it worked out even better for our family. We all want to go back there again next near. The only complaint I can think of...the guide for a drawer in the refrigerator is broken, so every time it's open, you have to put it in again.

I haven't been able to travel and this has helped me to get away enjoy, and relax !

Huge house with lots of space. Bedrooms are big with lots of bathroom. House is quit, noise from the kitchen won’t wake your early to bed kids.

We had a fabulous time and this is a beautiful home. Everything was perfect. We hope to be back every year!

This house was perfect for our group of 8 adults, easily could have had more. It was very clean and well stocked. The location is just perfect.
Sarah the property manager was easy to reach and so helpful.
This is a great spot for a relaxing week on the Oregon Coast.

This is an ideal stay for a family reunion. We love the fact everyone has their own bathroom. The beach is awesome to walk on or you can just sit on the deck or inside and watch the waves roll in.

Wonderful house, wonderful weather! This was our 3rd time staying at the Beach Retreat and we always enjoy the location and the elegance of the home. Shore Thing property management is also always excellent to dal with.

The beach house is right on the beach with an unobstructed view. Wonderful! The layout of the home is open and comfortable, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a laundry room and ample closet and storage space. This is a great rental.

We LOVED staying here! Mesmerizing views, some of more beach activities than I'd ever seen before, constantly entertaining. A beautiful home, well-appointed, immaculate, room for everything we needed. We loved how close to the beach we were. It inspired me to bring my kayak, and paddle out in the bay to the spit, and my husband to take several walks a day. The property manager responded SO promptly to our needs, even in the evening! The historic photos of the original Happy Camp are alone worth a booking here. We especially loved the west bedroom with its huge picture window and super-comfy bed. Whether you're active or more a watcher, this beautiful home will provide endless delights.
