Blue Agate Beach House -- A clean, spacious, comfortable house near the Yaquina Lighthouse, a ten minute walk to the beach.

I spent three months living here and had an all-around great experience. The house is not only clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, but it has a really calm and positive feel to it. The bedroom and bathroom are thoughtfully decorated and set-up with a super comfortable bed and bedding, tons of storage space, a window where you can watch the sunset and hear the ocean, a big walk-in shower, and desk that I actually liked sitting at. Getting to the beach is a quick walk and the trail down to it is beautiful. The neighbors are friendly and the neighborhood is very safe and quiet. When I was originally looking for a place, I wasnt sure I wanted to share a space with someone else, but I am so happy I ended up living here with Joseph as a housemate. Joseph is incredibly kind, considerate, and beyond easy to share a house with. Im a happily introverted person but I far preferred this to living alone.

This house was the perfect home base for my three month travel nursing assignment! The host was communicative, accommodating, and thought of everything that a person could need or want in their home away from home. Everything from extra blankets to directions to the beach to firewood to a tide chart and takeout menus! It was a cozy place to spend a coastal winter and I'd stay here again if my job ever brings me back to Newport.

Pros: Amazing beach access one block away- mostly private- great view of Yaquina lighthouse- mountain, forest, and ocean views are . The space was cozy! I adored the swivel chair in front of the wood fire stove on cold evenings- very delightful if youre up for fire building and the hauling and splitting wood/ash. The bed was very cozy and those sheets? Pure heaven. Cons: Many window coverings are janky- neither the living room, laundry room nor kitchen are private due to insufficient covering and I had to tape the bedroom blinds down to prevent major gaps. Not a fan of the one lock with easy code access. I would have preferred an additional internal lock- it felt unsecure to me. I unplugged the Alexa for my own piece of mind. ;) There were inconsistencies between the lease price and amount expected to pay. There was a passive request for $ for wood use after the fact though it was included. J was generous working this out. Overall A+! Highly recommend.

Blue Agate Beach House was our home base for an extended visit to Newport, OR. We walked several times a day to the beach, it was just out the door. Our room was airy, clean and comfy. The shower was huge and luxurious! If you can, light a fire in the super efficient fireplace in the main room- the house fills with warm, dry air which compliments the misty ocean breeze coming from the West. Blue Agate Beach House is a dreamy, comfy castle!
