Saltair- Charming beach side cottage

January 5, 2012

Saltair has a cozy cottage feeling without being small at all. It is warm, comfortable, and has a great layout. The kitchen, dining, and living rooms opened up to each other nicely, which made it very enjoyable to spend time with other guests while cooking, playing games, reading, or watching some tv. It was incredibly close to the ocean, on a quiet road, and with all the amenities we needed. It was also immaculately maintained. And as a bonus, the owner was very easy to communicate with and amicable too. Will definitely be coming back!

Owner's reply:

Thanks for your glowing review, Carey. Although I never solicit reviews, satisfaction from renters is always gratifying!

We spent the last week of September at Saltair. The place is immaculate. The owner has obviously put much thought and care into making it comfortable, cozy, snug, inviting, homey, attractive. I could go on, but you get the picture. With the exception of fresh food everything you could need is there, even down to sharpened pencils! The pretty cottage garden is a really nice touch. Not to mention location: a short walk through a lovely wooded path and you're at a long, clean stretch of beach. Our stay at Saltair was well worth the long drive from Billings Montana, and we are already making plans to return in 2012. Janine and Roger Pryor

Saltair Cottage was wonderful. We were impressed with the decor and cleanliness of the cottage. The children really liked the loft sleeping area. Our niece is hoping to book Saltair for a family vacation at a later date.

What a great little place. It had everything we needed and we so enjoyed our time there. We'd like to come back again soon ans a longer amount of time.

I am from Eugene and had a friend visiting from Colorado. We wanted a cozy little house as a home base for a weekend away over Memorial Day, and I am incredibly glad that we ended up at Saltair. The house was clean, tastefully decorated, quiet, and fully stocked. The two queen-bed bedrooms were great - we both slept better than we had in weeks. The loft would have been great if we had a larger party with kids. We like to cook, so the kitchen was delightful with good utensils and a wide variety of spices/oils/etc. It was a short walk down the path to watch the amazing sunset over the ocean, and we could hear the waves crashing from the front porch. Jeannine was incredible - very quick to respond to questions. She had clearly listened to the requests of previous visitors (as evidenced by the visitors' log in the house) and had made small but meaningful improvements on an already great house. There were a lot of little touches about how the house was stocked and arranged that made the stay even better. I've already recommended Saltair to coworkers and friends, and I will definitely be checking its availability the next time I go for a coast getaway.

This cottage can be described with one word: PERFECT. Every single thing we needed was there. I absolutely could not believe it. The place is super clean, wonderfully decorated and located right across the street from beach access!! The cupboards are stocked, including spices and other pantry items, the linens are plentiful and the kitchen appliances and washer/dryer allowed us to feel right at home. The beds are VERY comfortable, including the mattresses in the upstairs sleeping area where I slept with my grandkids. The double bath layout is exactly what we needed with 3 generations of females! This is a charming, well lit, extremely tidy cottage with MUCH more room than the description online conveys. The layout is fantastic for both privacy and enjoyment with a small group of people. I felt like I was staying in someone's home that they had allowed me to use on a very special trip. To make our perfect stay complete, the weather for the entire week in late December/early January was sunny and clear every, single day. We drove across the country to meet my mother and spend a week with her at the coast and I selected this cottage sight unseen. I could not be happier!

We were delighted with Saltair. it was nicely decorated, had comfortable furniture and had every appliance or utensil you could imagine. The landscaping was beautiful and the ocean was a brief walk, as represented. Given the opportunity to be in the area again, we would definitly book this cottage.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was very comfortable and well maintained with a charming garden in front. We plan to visit again.

Five of us "thiry-something" women rented this house for a little R&R and a break from the kids for a few days. It was everything we hoped for and more! The house was adorably decorated, clean and cozy. It had all the amenities we needed too, even a little food processor. We used the grill to cook both nights and would have used the chiminea to roast our marshmellows had the friendly neighbors not invited us to join them in their bonfire. We loved having the beach just a half block away. We watched the sunset both night and enjoyed the seclusion. It was a wonderful, much needed respite. I will definitely rent this house again with the family. It's also the very nicest house on the entire street. The garden blew me away. So very beautiful!!!

Bright, clean, close to the beach, all the comforts of home. We will return to this wonderful beach get away.

August 8, 2010

We loved our stay here. It was charming and surprisingly roomy. All the amenities were there for us. Just steps to the beach on a quiet lovely street. We didn't use the loft but it would be great for families with kids. Rockaway Beach is a quiet stretch of beach, which is just right for us. Thanks, Jeannine.

We recently stayed two nights with our son and his family including their 4 year old and six month old boys. This was definitely our dream cabin, loved the decorations and the added touches. It looks just like the pictures! We can't wait to return to Saltair!

September 15, 2009

This place was perfect for our stay. It was right near the beach, which the kids loved. It was decorated very nicely and is obviously taken care of. It very easily became our home away from home. We can't wait to go back there!

July 22, 2009

This was our third time visiting Saltair, and it is always a wonderful experience. I love how the whole home is decorated in dreamy blues and whites...perfectly complimenting the serine environment outside. What a retreat!

June 29, 2009

We were extremely pleased with the Saltair cottage. It was very cozy, yet very roomy and clean. The distance to the beach was nominal. We would definitely recommend it.

June 22, 2009

My daughter and I just returned from a week's stay at Saltair Cottage. Let me say that we were beyond impressed; the experience fully exceeded our expectations, and they were high already! Charming, clean, spacious, comfortable, well-maintained, beautifully landscaped, completely equipped with anything & everything. We will be back next year!

My mom (86 years old) and myself just spent 5 days at Saltair. What a cute and cozy little cottage. I loved having a thermastat in each room and the heated bench in the kitchen. It was a perfect spot for exploring both north and south along the coast of Oregon. We stocked up at Fred Meyer on our way from the Portland airport and were able to make fast, easy suppers at the end of full days of exploring and picnic lunches to take with us. We had terrific nights sleep on the most comfortable beds. There was so much to enjoy right at the cottage, but we were on the go most of the time. We had great weather and our pictures turned out fabulous. The coast is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The 3 cape scenic loop drive from Tillamook was fantastic. A volunteer was at one lookout with a telescope to show us birds nesting on the rocks. Oregon is beautiful and the people are very friendly.

We stayed at Saltair Thursday night and left Saturday morning during Mid-October. The weather was amazing all weekend and the cottage was wonderful. The cottage is kept in great condition and the lawn is immaculate. In my opinion, the best looking cottage on the street. The cottage was very clean and included all amenities and then some. We would definitely stay here again. Overall great experience.

July 28, 2008

This was our second time staying at Saltair and we found it to be even better than the first. This is an impeccably maintained home in a great location. We will definitely be back. Thank you very much.

My selfish side wants to keep Saltair our own secret, but the truth is, our second trip to Saltair was even better than our first...which was wonderful! The garden was gorgeous,the path to the beach was magical and convenient. The cottage is very clean and well cared for, with such a lovely and tasteful decor. Everything we needed was provided, even a juicer for fresh squeezed orange juice! The kids loved it as much as my husband and I. It is perfect for either one family, two families or just one couple's get away. If you ever wanted to stay in one of those Thomas Kincaid cottages,this is it!

This place was absolutely wonderful for our 25th anniversary. We were here for an entire week and not a disappointing moment went by. You made our stay here absolutely the best and we have spent some time at the World Mark in Depoe bay, Seaside, Newport, Yachats, Bridal Veil and so on inland as well. This was the best. I would definitely recommend this place to any one that would want a nice place to stay. We found the beach a quiet and wonderful place to go. We also appreciated the quiet street that it was on and just a block from one of the busiest highways in the Western portion of America. Thank you The Zimmerman's

The cottage is quaint and wonderful. Very clean and cozy. Just a short walk to the beach. Wonderful for a family or just two. The owners were easy to work with. We will be back.

We had a great long weekend at the Saltair, two families with children. The room upstairs is perfect for the kids, and the two queen bedrooms were great for parents. We were happy with how clean and neat the house was, also a very short walk to the beach. Overall i would recommend.

If you want a sure thing, this is it! There is no one I wouldn't recommend this perfect vacation house to. It is large enough for two families to share, with two equal bedrooms and a loft with enough room for all the children, while also being small enough for a romantic weekend with a loved one. This home doesn't lack for anything, including Shout it Out, kites and charcoal, and to top it off the fabulous beach is right there, literally, after a short walk down a meandering paved path. I'd recommend you go, and I suspect you'll go back again and again just as we have.

Saltair is a charming, peaceful retreat, inside and out! Whether sitting on the patio enjoying the wonderful landscaping and a nice cozy fire, or relaxing in the open and airy livingroom, Saltair is sure to please everyone. My daughters enjoyed having there own space upstairs in the loft and we all loved having two bathrooms. The eat-in kitchen is a bonus and everyone loves the 'heated' bench at the table! The is a very well appointed house, it has everything you need and is a stones throw from the beach. You won't be disappointed.

Cozy,clean,light,airy,a treasure. This sweet cottage is well cared for and in turn we felt well cared for during our stay. We found many extra touches that gave us delight and warm feelings. The short path to the beach is beautiful, as is the beach itself. Our nine and ten year old girls loved the sleeping loft,window seat to sit on and play games or to read,the kites and beach toys, and we all loved having two bathrooms. The quaint kitchen was charming and well stocked. We are looking forward to a return trip!

super house, great location. very easy to work with owners. highly recommended!

May 18, 2005

My staff conducted our retreat at this beach house in May, and it was absolutely perfect. The house had everything we could possibly need and then some. We cooked, listened to music, watched a few films, flew a kite on the beach... We will definitely be back.

May 18, 2005

Saltair is just lovely - spacious and bright with the sounds of the ocean lulling you to sleep. With the water a stone's throw away you can spend time on the beach, patio, or the cozy kitchen all within the same hour. This is the perfect place for a personal vacation or work retreat. Tastefully decorated in shades of blue it feels like the coastal cabin you have always wanted. Rockaway is a great town with the summer jazz festival, kite festival, friendly people, and so much to do at your doorstep. I highly reccomend Saltair.

I don't have enough good things to say about this place. It is spacious, brand-new remodel job, excellent decorations (so beachy!) literally next to the beach, well-stocked kitchen, everything you could possibly want. It rained while we were there and we hardly noticed. The cabin heated up quickly and had a heater in every room, and two bathrooms which was key since the rain didn't stop us from going to the beach. I would highly recommend this place to anyone- we are in our 20s and loved it, and I know if my parents were to come they would love it too. Definitely planning on going back!
