BEWARE!! We needed to rent some life jackets and the owner was very abrasive/off-putting. I wanted…read moreto leave and go to a different store to rent because he was so rude. My husband rented the life jackets anyways. We were told they were $15 to rent (with a $100 deposit on our credit card). He told us to "bring them back any time, since it was only $15 to rent." .... So, upon bringing them back, he charged us $60. He charged us $15/day per jacket, but failed to state that at all. I don't recommend this business at all. There's absolutely no reason for him to have "forgotten" to tell us it's a daily charge, especially since we asked outright. I get that people need to make a living, but this isn't how you do it folks. I'd give zero stars if I could. It seemed like this wasn't his first time "forgetting" to tell people it was a daily rental. Beware!!

He had all the gear we needed to have a great time, helped us find the right each for the boys (6 and 9) to have a fun and safe time and showed us what we'd needed to have a blast. And my boys and I certainly did. Thank you so much! PS. Wet suits make all the difference on the Oregon coast no matter how much the sun is shining!
