The house sits on a 40 foot tall bluff with a private path and stairs leading to the beach. The beach stretches for miles in either direction allowing for long walks on the beach where you rarely encounter another person.

Pre King Tides
This property is awesome. This particular location, on the beach, was perfect. And the Ocean put on a show. Waves breaking right in front of us. Watching the changing tides for hours was so peaceful and good for the soul. Unfortunately during our stay it rained most of the time. So didn't get to spend time on the beach but that was okay. Beautiful furnishings and lacked nothing.

The Sea Gem was perfect for our little family vacation. We stayed about 4 days and the house was great! It was so relaxing and great views of the ocean. Communication with Josh was very prompt. We will definitely stay again :)

Beautiful!
The views are unbelievable. Gorgeous, stunning, and panoramic. Can walk the wide, empty beach for what seems like forever, right from the cottage after getting down its steps laid in rock. Cottage was lovely, exactly as shown in pictures. Immaculate, every detail perfect, and high-end. Master bed so comfortable we wanted to bring it home. So nice to open the slider door to hear the waves crashing as you fall asleep and wake up. Loved the long, back porch. Saw whales breaching offshore on three afternoons. An easy ten-minute drive into Newport for some great restaurants recommended by host. Was a beautiful, relaxing stay. Perfect for our anniversary. We will be back.

Perfect!
We absolutely loved our stay here, it was everything we had hoped for and more. The entire cottage was extremely clean and owner thought of everything to make our stay feel like it was our home. The bed was very comfortable and with the door open at night listening to the sound of the made for a perfect night sleep. I wouldn't hesitate to rent this property again whenever we're Oregon. The steps to the ocean are a little challenging but we're in our 70's so that probably was the real issue. As stated in previous reviews the drive way is narrow but if you back in, it's just fine. I would not hesitate to book this property, you won't be disappointed. Thank you a wonderful four days, we hope to come back

Nothing short of fantastic!
Everything about our experience with this property, from the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, and everything in between, was absolutely amazing. When you turn off the road into the driveway for the first time you immediately glimpse the view that will greet you every morning, every time you come back from exploring some of the most beautiful country in the world, and every second you spend in the house. Not only is it an amazing location, but everything from the aesthetic design to the practical use of space and general functionality of the house is extremely well thought out. One of the coolest parts of the house is the loft. There is a little desk area, a super cool bench right by the rear window looking out over the water with a ledge to set your coffee and breakfast, and two twin beds for whoever is lucky enough to get stuck up there. You walk out the back door, down a cute little path and you are on the beach in less than a minute. We hung out with a baby sea lion on the beach for 20 minutes before it waddled into the water and swam off. I’m not kidding. I know I sound like I was paid to write this review, but it has been two months since we were there, and if I had written it right away it would have been even more glowing. I should mention that it was just me and my wife but plenty of room for kids. Also, make sure you get the Wi-Fi code and door password at the airport, or at least in Newport. There is NO cell service around the house. Wi-Fi is great though.

Great little beach house
This place was lovely! It was nicely remodeled, very clean, and has gorgeous views of the beach. You can literally sit and watch the ocean from the kitchen table. Beautiful. There is a path down to the beach- but I would not recommend it for elderly folks because you’re walking on big rocks and it’s pretty uneven. The only downsides to this place are the road noise, particularly if you sleep with windows open at night, and the crazy driveway. If this were my place I’d eliminate the front “yard” and make it a turn around for the driveway. You really need to back into the driveway and the traffic on the road is going 40-50 MPH so it’s challenging to find a gap to pull over and back into the driveway. Absolutely no room for a turn around in the driveway as is. The reviews warned about the driveway but I thought maybe it was exaggerated. Nope! Anyway, we made it work. Overall a lovely home on the beach with close proximity to Newport and other surrounding towns.

Excellent !!!
The Sea Gem was very clean, beds were comfortable and furnishings in good condition. The kitchen was well equipped. As far as location goes, it was excellent, right by the ocean with access to the beach. It is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into this property to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We will definitely stay here if we are in the Newport area again. The host was very responsive to any questions we had and replied very quickly. Great place & great experience!

Fabulous
What a lovely stay! The place was clean and you couldn’t ask for a better view and beach access. Backing out of the driveway is tricky but doable. The climb down to the beach could be hard for older people. Make note that there is only a toaster oven, no oven. We absolutely loved it though. It’s quaint and comfortable! We will be back again! It’s adorable!

Awesome and peaceful experience
Every time my husband and I stay here we wish we had stayed longer and book our next stay for the following year. Although it rained the entire time we were there, it was still relaxing and beautiful. The neighboring small towns are fun to explore as well. The South Beach Fish Market just up the street has delicious seafood to take home. We always get the dungeness crabs (eat cold) and this time got halibut and cooked it on the charcoal BBQ for fish tacos. Best we've ever had! The hosts are very responsive and helpful!!

The best VRBO we have ever stayed in
The home was beautiful and very clean. The home also had the most comfortable beds and the warmest bedding. Everything was new and updated. Very cozy home with a beautiful yard. Our only complaint, if you could even call it a complaint, is the driveway. It was so narrow. A truck or SUV would have a very tight fit. Everything else was truly a 10/10 and we fit comfortably with a family of 4.

Fantastic as per usual
This is our second time staying here and both times it has been absolutely wonderful. The cottage is comfortable, quiet, and private; it’s perfect for a family vacation or even if you have to do some remote working like I did. It’s a very cute space that is well furnished, clean, comfortable and has everything one could need to cook your own meals. The ocean view from the backyard is spectacular and the property manager is excellent to deal with. We will definitely come back again next year!
