The guest house was situated in lovely gardens.It was peaceful and the hosts were so sweet. They satisfied all our needs. The only thing is that it did not have an ocean view except on the other side of the main home. Otherwise it was perfect.

Really Really nice Cottage and experience!
Could not ask for a better experience. Brookings climate is the best, especially along the ocean coast. This cottage is located on ocean front property. The cottage is welcoming and so comfortable. You have everything you would ever want or need. The bed is exceptionally comfortable. The hosts are the best, you will really enjoy meeting Scott and Debbi, really good people and host. Added value from the gated security and allowing us to plug in our Tesla into an RV service plug with our adapter. The best overall value on the coast! Looking forward to a return!

I can’t think of anything negative to say about this adorable place. It was so well thought out and everything was top of the line. As my 18 year old granddaughter said, “Debbie killed it” (that’s a good thing).

So relaxing
The property was perfect for us! My phone had died along the journey to Brookings and we ended up arriving an hour before check in and Debbi was so gracious to accommodate us. She gave us a quick run through of the amenities and let us know we were always welcome to their back yard/porch to check out the amazing views. The cottage was beautifully appointed and we even had a yard for our dogs to run around. The bed… all I can say is I want to know the brand name because it was the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in. The neighborhood was super quiet and yet still walkable to downtown Brookings. There’s a grocery store within walking distance and beach access not too far from there as well. Great property overall. We loved having the in room laundry as well for to make the day after vacation that much easier.

Pacific and Redwood Comfort
We wanted a home base to explore the Redwoods and the area. Although the Pacific NW threw adverse weather at us every day we were there, we managed to see the area and our evenings were comfortable, warm and dry in a really cute studio with some room to spread out. The studio was everything that was advertised with no surprises. The owners were great people and the gated parking and lodging gave a feel of security. The owners open their fire-pit, deck, and patio to the lodgers, but the inclement weather limited us to spend minutes versus the hours that we would have liked, to simply sit on their deck to admire one of the best views in Coastal Oregon. The peace and tranquility are something special.

Comfortable stay and beautiful location
The place was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very kind and even supplied items such as bottled water, sodas, and a chocolate bar! :) We loved being able to sit on the deck and watch the ocean. A bonus was that it was dog-friendly, and a short drive/walk to a dog park. We would happily rent this place again.

Tucked Away Treat
Lovely cottage with "deliciously comfortable" bed; pictures and description of property spot on. We were greeted by Debi and Scott, with a walk through on the specifics related to blinds, induction cook top, etc. Due to unexpected family circumstances, we left before completing our stay. Debi was understanding as to the reason for our early departure.

Perfection!
First off left me say the photos do not do justice. The views are amazing! The cottage was perfect! Everything was upscale. Plush towels, great shower, nicely equipped. There was plenty of fenced area for our dog to roam. The owners were very helpful in all aspects. We had a medical emergency and Debbi and Scott cared for our pet when we couldn't. I would go back to this property in a heartbeat. No detail was left out.

Enjoyable Week
We were very happy with our stay. This was the first overnight road trip for our 1-1/2 year old dog, and she loved it. She played with the resident dogs and we had multiple fenced-in locations we could let her out into. The cottage is charming, clean, well supplied, and comfortable. We visited Brookings during unseasonably cold, windy, and rainy weather, but staying at the Pilot House meant that we were comfortable for the entire week. We watched the weather forecasts and would head out on hikes during breaks in the rain. During our downtime, we had an excellent place to relax. The owners offered their sunroom so that we could hang out during the rainy times and still have a great view of the bay. The cottage doesn't have an ocean view, but the back patio area of the owner's home was made available for our use, and I always felt welcome there. The owner let me look at another suite she is currently renovating which will have ocean views given that it's upstairs above the garage. I'd like to schedule a return visit to try it out, but I'd be happy back in the original cottage as well!

I was pleasantly surprised and very happy with our stay. We have a dog that we brought with us this place is perfect for dogs. It has a fenced yard which is awesome I didn’t have to worry about letting my dog out and running away. The decorating of the place was awesome. It was very clean and perfect. I especially loved the color of the refrigerator which was like a royal blue. I would highly recommend staying especially if you have to bring your dog. I like that you can walk to a couple of restaurants which is awesome.
