Weekend with friends
The house fits a surprising number of people, has many beds, which is not entirely clear in the listing. It's older and a little funky but has great charm. Don't expect to visit and sit in front of the television. The one in existence is small, but that worked for us just fine. We were there to visit. Easy proximity to the ocean beach and to Hawk Creek Cafe. Good deck space for outside seating. Would reserve again..

Summer in March
We were impressed with how clean the house was for being so close to the beach and allowing pets. Home was dated, but spacious and had everything we needed. Loved how close we were to the beach and the house had some beach toys for the kids to play with which was nice. I don’t remember reading this in home write up but they had a pack and play at the house which was great too. I would absolutely stay again but recommend they get the heating situation figured out on the main flow in case the weather is a bit colder.

Big Blue in Neskowin
We love the size and the layout of Big Blue in Neskowin. The location is great. It was shabby and not as tidy as we remember, which is too bad. We have visited Neskowin for 25+ years almost every year. This was our 3rd time staying at Big Blue. Hope the worn rug in the dining room that trips folks gets replaced so we feel comfortable returning!

Disappointed
We have stayed at big blue several times and loved it. Not so much this time. The oven didn’t display temperature so baked by guessing. The dishwasher was very difficult to start, and often left part of the soap in the dispenser. Unlikely to come back unless owner replaces appliances.

Annual Family Vacation
Great house for a large family! Room for everybody, large deck. Kitchen appliances could really use an upgrade, tiny oven, tiny microwave, inconsistent heating on the cooktop. Lots of pantry space for all our food which was unexpected and made my sister jealous of the tiny kitchen in her rental! Beds are very comfy, but no closet in master bedroom. Seemed to be plenty of hot water for everybody and the water pressure is good. The front door code stopped working after 2 days but the French doors in the bedroom wouldn’t lock so we just went through there and didn’t bother getting it recoded. Neskowin is a very small safe town so we didn’t feel like it was a major issue. Living room area is very small compared to the size of the house but the kids stayed upstairs to play or out in the yard or deck so it was fine since we had nice weather. But if it’s cold and rainy and you have 11 people it would suck! I will say we’ve rented houses on that street before and the neighbors are not so friendly, some are downright rude, we will avoid that street in the future. Particularly the woman 3 houses to the west, she likes to “spy” on you. She kept coming to the little red house next door and “puttering” around the side yard whenever we were all outside. Another rental company in town said that she’s a problem with the house they rent next door to her. So be warned she’s not friendly to tourists!

Big Blue disappointment
This was at least our fourth time staying at Big Blue in Neskowin. We have been spending a week each summer in Neskowin for more than 2 decades. I checked before we left to make sure the oven and BBQ were working, since I noticed that they were reported broken in June by a renter. I was assured they were both in working order. The oven only worked on broil and we couldn't get the filthy BBQ to work. A nice person from vacasa came and let us know the oven did not work and showed us how to light the BBQ and suggested we clean it. It had hunks of dead salmon in it. (Smelly!). We were unable to cook the food we brought with us from Seattle. In addition, there were 3 teaspoons in the silverware drawer for 7 people, and 3-4 hand towels for a week. Each year we come it has been worse. For more than $4600 for a week, we would expect working appliances and a spoon for each person. Would love to talk with someone from Vacasa about our rental.

We would totally book Big Blue again if things were fixed. VACASA was non-responsive & promised ...
This well loved house was comfortable and met our needs for space and layout. Location was convenient and neighborhood nice. We would totally book this house again if the things identified below were corrected! We loved the comfort and the vibe. The kitchen was well equipped except the oven did not work correctly (and evidently has not for awhile) and the dishes on the shelves were dirty. There was no propane in the tank so when the oven didn't work we did not have that as an option. The wifi was spotty at best. The toilets clogged on three occasions and had to be plunged. In reading previous reviews and comments some of the same issues that were indicated would be fixed (i.e. carpet as you enter the house) had not been fixed. We contacted VACASA on several occasions and spoke to two managers who said they would call us back and never did. It was disappointing that VACASA did not provide the service and care that they said they would.

Big Blue worked out really well for us.
We had a great week at Big Blue. Perfect property and perfect location. Our Labrador, also named Blue, had the time of his life and the little yard worked perfect. The photos in the listing appear to be very old from when things were a little fresher and newer. The house feels very lived in which is both good and bad. Cleaning service requires much more attention to detail… overall very good experience

Definitely 4-year-old friendly
My granddaughter was upset about leaving my brother's house in Pacific City. She was having so much fun playing with our newly graduated college student and a cousin from another side of the family. Well, she was upset until she walked upstairs. OMG! I should her the Queen room with the twin bed, the room with the 6 twin beds, the playroom, and the balcony. She was in awe and forgot all about what she was doing earlier. The entire weekend she would show off the upstairs to visiting relatives. The entire house was lovely even for these city dwellers. We initially had a concern because there was no firewood or matches to light the fireplace, and we didn't know what a floorboard heater was. We called the office but no one called back or came by to assist, but we obviously figured it out. It rained most of the time so there was no need to venture out to the beach parks. The only person that cared was me. The corner store was fabulous - get the pulled pork and clam chowder - delicious! The only issue we had was unresponsiveness. First with the issue of heating, and secondly we had an issue with my car. I moved my car from Hawaii and now we live in Vegas. Needless to say, my car doesn't like cold. It kept squeaking and the turning wheel didn't want to turn. We took it to the shop on the last day (Monday); we didn't know how long it would take for the mechanic to figure out the problem or fix it for the long drive home. We called the office again, no response. As I returned, the management came by. I asked if she had received any of our messages, and she said no but she was super nice and understanding. In all, I would definitely recommend this property for any future vacation spot.

Family Fun!
This is our 2nd year staying at Big Blue. Four generations together. It’s not a fancy place but it was clean and very comfortable. Equipped with Eve we needed for lots of cooking. The beds are comfortable and there are a lot of them. The deck is great for reading, relaxing, happy hour and the back yard was perfect for corn hole tournaments. Thank you for sharing your home. We will be back!

Charming, historic home
This home was so much fun! My family is already discussing when we will return. The beds in this home are SO comfortable, and there are quite a few! It is the perfect distance from the beach, and other area amenities. The neighbors are all very friendly and waved hello when they saw us walking down the street. It is a quirky old house and we loved, loved, LOVED reading about this home, and other surrounding homes, in the history of Neskowin book located near the door. The home could do with a few upgrades and a thorough dusting, but it has an old-school charm that makes it feel cozy. We can't wait to go back soon!
