  Lisa C from Council Bluffs, IA recommends this vacation rental

  We had a wonderful time and overall the property was great! I wish we could have opened a window here or there a crack, but none of the ones I wanted to open had screens or there was a note not to open. The other issue was we couldn't see out of the living room windows. They had a constant fog over them. The only other concern I had that I mentioned to the mgmt staff when we checked out were the little lamps, especially in the bedrooms. I unplugged all of them. First of all, they all had the wrong light bulbs in them. The inside of the lampshade looked like it had been starting to burn. These types of lamps with the wrong bulbs could very easily start a fire. I would suggest removal of those small lamps. Other than that, our stay was truly wonderful! Thank you!!

    Thanks for your review. The owner had just replaced the ocean view windows in the spring of this year, a couple good storms and they all became damaged from the sand/wind. It's so expensive to keep replacing the windows! He has now purchased shutters to, hopefully, protect the new windows from damage. Signs are put on the windows not to open because they are very difficult to shut once they are opened. Just a little breeze can cause sand to settle in the mechanisms and then they cannot be shut. More sand comes in and more damage occurs. Thanks for your concerns about the lamps. That has been corrected.

  Just a wonderful location and a house that can hold 10 people. Perfect for the kids to go out the back door and play in the sand. Thanks Bayshore Rentals!

  Bayshore Rentals does a very nice job and are great to work with. The bed in the master seems very outdated and a bit uncomfortable. Also, the new chairs in the living room seem more for looks than they are comfortable/practical. I feel for the price per
  night, it should have some nicer amenities. (comparing to another house just 7 down for same price) Much nicer!

  The only the thing that I have to say that is negative is that the club house is a little on the pricey side. But was fun and really warm which was great..

  My family and I enjoyed a rare sunny vacation at the Oregon beach and absolutely loved the Mermaid house. Each year, we rent a different house along the Oregon Coast, however we would seriously consider returning to this house again. It was so nice to be able to bring our dog with us (which was one of the main reasons we rented this house) and the location was absolutely spectacular. You truly can’t get any closer to the beach.
  
  The house was very clean and had absolutely everything we needed, from kitchen utensils to beach gear. The layout of the house was perfect for our family of four, and there would have been room for more people if necessary. Management was very nice and helpful. Overall, a wonderful house for the entire family!

  It would have been nice to know in advance that we would have to shovel sand out of the driveway in order to drive up it- other than that, we had a great time and loved the house!

  We had kids and grandkids with us, plus our dog. Very accomodating house, perfect location for sandcastles, walks, seal watching, etc. Only issue was sand that had blown into driveway, made hard for cars to pull up.

  Really liked the place, but our neighbors to the North of us felt the need to bathe naked in the ocean at 930am on Saturday morning. Considering we had several children with us, looking out of the telescope at a boat on the horizon, this is totally unnacceptable. I know Bayshore Rentals isn't responsible for this man's actions, but I would appreciate if you found the owners of 106 Oceania and told them. Otherwise, it was a great time.

  More details up front about the area would be helpful. The ability to stop by rental office and get info. was very helpful and much needed! Denote that grill is a charcoal grill on website and encourage visitors to bring paper towel and toilet paper. This house and location worked great for our 2 families!

  We had some difficulty getting in because the screen door had been locked from the inside, but when we called they got someone out very quickly to let us in. We had a great time strolling the beach, visiting the Oregon Aquarium, and lots of rest and relaxtion with the kids. We had one child with us who uses a wheelchair, and the house was very accessible for him. The only challenge was getting him up and down the sand dune from the house to the beach. Our visit was so wonderful that we ended up adding three days on! We would definately do this again!

  The house fit the needs of my family (86 to 29 years old). The blowing sand is an issue, can't use the front or back door. And the sand is coming in the closed windows on the ocean side. Of course naure is what it is, nature. Loved the stormy weather. The house was one level, very open and great kitchen. They all said it was a keeper to come back to.

  The sand was a hassle and a blessing; a hassle because of the cleaning of the windows and trying to keep it out of the house and a blessing because the four young boys had a ball playing in it within view of the house.
  Thanks for a great weekend.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Mermaid house in March 2010. The house had everything we needed and the location,right on the beach,was great!The house was not as new and well kept as the previous Bay Shore houses we have rented but being right on the beach was sure a treat. All the windows facing the ocean gave us great views.
