Fantastic Stay

I was so pleased that I chose Dory Cove for our stay! We stayed Wed-Sun. Comfortable, clean, easy access to the beach, great view from the deck or hot tub. The house is stocked with many games etc…much more than we had time for. We used the BBQ, which was nice to have & it’s close to many stores & restaurants. We will definitely book this one again ❣️

Fantastic!

All of our instructions were emailed to me ahead of time, so finding our location and checking in was a simple process. The house is everything described! Beautiful views, easy private access to the beach, an easy mile walk to the tide pools. We had one small hiccup but I was able to contact management and received a quick response and resolution. We look forward to another trip!

Wonderful rental!

This is a wonderful rental! Access to the beach is easy and the house is thoughtfully well-appointed with plenty of basic household supplies, unlike a lot of rentals. The hot tub on the deck was absolute perfection in the evenings, and my teenagers really enjoyed the ping pong table.

Great Stay

The location is perfect with easy access to the beach. The kitchen is well equipped. The main bedroom is very small but it looks like they took out a closet to accommodate a toilet and sink...good move. We would highly recommend it to anyone!

Road's End is a great location!

The views were spectacular! The unit was above average for a beach property and quite comfortable for 3 adults. The Road's End location is convenient to shopping and restaurants, but quiet, unlike some other Lincoln City beach rentals. We'd go back there and recommend it to friends.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Literally steps from the sand! The house was warm and welcoming, perfect for the whole family. The kitchen was well stocked, the owners were very responsive and the location could not be better. Waking up to the beautiful unobstructed views of the ocean and sounds of the crashing waves was absolutely perfect!

Love this place!

I've been here twice and have loved it both times. Such easy access, from the car to the beach. The view is spectacular! The hosts have been very nice and helpful. The place is clean and comfortable. Only suggestion would be to add a handrail. Hope to get back soon.

Quaint but adequate with a wonderful view!

The property was adequate for our needs. It was a little small for the 7 of us but we made it work. There is a TV in the smaller bedroom which was nice having children out of the main living area so adults/teens could read or rest quietly. The view from the kitchen/living area was incredible and my only real desire for myself so overall, we loved our stay.

Another lovely week

This is the third year we’ve stayed at this lovely home. The location, the view, the house were all perfect... again. No matter the weather the wall to wall windows afford an incredible view of the ocean and sand. We were up every morning before daybreak just to watch the beach ‘wake up’ with the sunrise. Simply couldn’t ask for more.

Beautiful view, furnishings need updating

This cabin has such wonderful views of the ocean. Easy access to the beach and an overall great stay. There are a few things that could have changed this rating from a 4 star to a 5 star. Furniture is not as pictured (besides couch), is well used and uncomfortable. The lip under the table is to short for the chair (if you are tall you can not put legs under table). Kitchen needs pot holders and house was a bit dusty (light fixtures, vents, etc). This was a bit suprising due to the extensive cleaning instructions and fee. With all that said it is still a wonderful spot to visit and I'd recommend Dory Cove.

About the host

Hosted by David and Karen Locke

My husband Dave and I had originally purchased a house in the Taft area of Lincoln City. Although it was very close to beach access, it did not have an ocean view. After owning that house for seven years, we decided to sell it with the goal of having a house providing an ocean view.

Why they chose this property

It took us almost a year to find this property. Our criteria seemed simple, but all the houses within our reach did not meet the two main requirements: Good ocean view and close beach access. After viewing over 50 homes, this property by far had the best ocean view. Doesn't get much better than ocean front with floor to ceiling windows! To top it off, we ended up with direct access to the beach. The deck offers good visibility for when the kids want to go down to the sand. Younger kids best play in the stream that flows into the ocean, build sand forts/castles, or join up with other kids on the beach.
Originally the concept of having two units was not on our radar. As for any concern with adjoined units, we have found that by insulating the walls between the units, the noise transmission is minimal to undetectable. Since our first rental (eight-plus years) we have had no noise issues.

What makes this property unique

Frequently younger guests from the two sides will join up to enjoy the beach.
Location is awesome for watching beach activity. On occasion guests report seeing whales. With the right conditions, kite surfers with colorful kites frequent this beach; they can fly unbelievably high into the air. You have to see it to believe it.

If this suite becomes booked for your dates try the other side, SurfSounds listing VRBO 581555.
With the separate quarters offered by the individual suites, there are a number of returning guests that book both sides for reunions or annual gatherings. If this is something you may be considering, see our listing #574624 for rates and availability - book early!
