What really stood out this time was the oyster shooters. I live on the coast and eat my share of fresh oysters. Most often, I've bought them at the source and shucked and eaten them same day- very fresh. Often, even the best coastal restaurants serve oysters that are ever so slightly (un-fresh). It may have been the timing, but those. Shooters tasted like they came right out of the water minutes before serving. Well done, Drift Inn! Now let's put raw oysters on the half-shell on the menu, please!

For our $1200 weekend were we very disappointed. When we asked the Spa manager and the hotel staff about the noise they said there had not been any complaints---but on this site I see several citing the issues, so I am sure were have not been the only guests dissatisfied. We have rented the Sunset suite many times, and were always pleased by the ambience and views. But we will not be returning to Overlook Lodge.

First, Katy is a valuable employee for OOV. She was on top of everything in the reservation process…read moreand helpful when things went sideways. We arrived after 4:00pm, as instructed. The lockbox was empty - no key. I phoned the office in Yachats and left a message. No response. I called ten minutes later and left another message. No response. I seriously have to pee by this time after our 3 hour drive. It was also getting chilly and the website said the office closed at 5:00pm. Both of my calls were made before that. I remembered I had corresponded with Katy and located the email. I called her number and she answered right away. I explained the sitch and she said the manager just saw the message and was on his way from home to the office to get the spare key. She estimated about ten minutes and he'd be at the rental. Here's where it gets strange. About 25 mins later, the manager shows up, exits his car, didn't introduce himself, tells us the key is probably sitting inside, and has a screw driver in his hand. "No spare key?" I ask. "No, but I have a solution." He then starts to try to Jimmy the door lock. I'm thinking 2 things: 1. So we'll be in a house without a lockable front door? 2. How does one Jimmy a deadbolt? Fatigue, bladder rebellion, and chillier winds made me say, "I don't think that's going to work and you're going to ruin your door. We'll just take a refund and find a motel in Newport. He pulls a set of keys out of his pocket and says there's a rental just down the road we could use. And it's a better one. Ok, I always appreciate it when a person tries to make things right. The driveway into the property had multiple mud holes and going in I bottomed my car a bunch of times. We had to maneuver those holes every time we went out and came back. The house was bigger. We could use the hot tub, but the original rental didn't have one so none of us had bathing suits. The house was clean but it seemed it hadn't been readied for guests. There were few towels and 5 of us (in a house that was for 8) almost ran out of toilet paper. The table cloth had recent juice stains on(we just took it off), and the dishwasher was full of clean dishes. We unloaded so we could use it. I know people have bad days and things can go haywire. What concerned me in this experience was: - no response to my calls before closing time - no spare key - a screw driver to Jimmy a lock and a dead bolt? - having to ask for a refund to trigger the offer of the other place - not aware of readiness status of the place offered Hopefully this was a Murphy's Law one off crazy day. If not, OOV needs improvement.

I cut my lip, which isn't serious but when I put that fact in my review ( I thought for safety , I should mention it to other renters) they wouldn't print my review. it's been two days and I thought maybe they'd post it, but they removed it. I don't understand why so I posted here.

The property is beautifully manicured and if you get a free standing apartment "kitchen" suite (like a one bedroom apartment) than most of them have a great view of the property, ocean or both. There's also a bathtub, fireplace, and little patio! The bed was comfy and I've never slept better--something about waking up to hear the surf and smell the fresh sea breeze I will never get over. Also the frogs will sing you a sweet song to sleep if you listen closely. I've never stayed anywhere more charming. Super short walk away to the waves, the beach, and town is just around the bend (also an easy walk). The pool also has a view of the ocean. So cool. Did I mention dog friendly? FYI. If you notice some difference in reviewers experience I believe it's the difference of the units verses the rooms. The rooms are more retro and though they have nice updates, I highly recommend the kitchen units as opposed to the rooms (I've stayed in both). The units are fantastic and worth the tiny bit extra. The rooms have great decks and patios to a lovely beach view but there is an old funk smell that unless you are a smoker is noticeable-- so do yourself a favor and get a kitchen suite. Your wife can thank me later. :) You'll want to plan to book a few extra days because this place is like a warm hug. It's unlike anything out there these days. You can get a clean room almost anywhere but encountering amazing humans on the road is priceless. Thank you Yachats Inn for making my summer to the coast a lovely and wonderfully memorable stay. I'll be back!
