About this property
Oceanfront- Sea Gem Cottage
Perched atop a dramatic oceanfront bluff just six miles south of Newport, Sea Gem Cottage is a private coastal retreat where the rhythm of the Pacific sets the pace for your stay. Nearly every room offers sweeping views of the beach and surf, immersing you in the sights and sounds of the ocean from sunrise to sunset. Thoughtfully expanded and beautifully updated, this classic beachfront cottage blends modern comfort with the timeless charm that brings guests back year after year.
The home features two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a loft. Bamboo flooring flows throughout the living spaces, complemented by travertine tile in the bathroom, and clean, modern furnishings throughout that keep the focus on the stunning coastal surroundings.
Both bedrooms are appointed with queen beds and include built-in storage drawers and wardrobes, making the cottage especially comfortable for extended visits. The main-level great room offers seating for six at the dining table and a wall-mounted Smart TV with basic cable, all framed by ever-changing ocean views just beyond the windows.
Stairs from the great room lead to the loft, where two twin beds are tucked on the garden side. A cozy lounge area overlooks the ocean, providing an ideal spot to relax, read, or watch passing storms—and, if you’re lucky, spot whales offshore.
The cottage sits on a 40-foot bluff with a private path leading directly to the beach. Miles of shoreline stretch in both directions, perfect for long, unhurried walks where you’ll often encounter more seabirds than people. Whether you’re planning a romantic oceanfront getaway, a quiet family retreat, or a classic Oregon Coast vacation, Sea Gem Cottage offers privacy, comfort, and unforgettable views in a truly special setting.

Beautiful space. We mostly ate out, but gorgeous cookware was available, and there was a nice spice rack. The drawers were stocked with tools and there were nice dishes. Beds were comfy and the view was to die for. The photos are true to the experience.
Fantastic experience at this home. The view is breathtaking. The home is sparkling clean and thoughtfully decorated. Everything you need is there for your home away from home. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. We can't wait to come back.
The renovation on this old house was well done with craftsman quality and high end finishes. The ocean view and location are excellent. Great place to stay!
The Sea Gem was perfect for our little family vacation. We stayed about 4 days and the house was great! It was so relaxing and great views of the ocean. Communication with Josh was very prompt. We will definitely stay again :)
This little cottage was perfect for a cozy, relaxing getaway for my husband and I. The views are amazing, with easy access to the beach. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The driveway access directly off the highway with no ability to turn around in the driveway is the only drawback but it’s workable and worth it. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
Clean and quiet beach cottage. Perfect for our family of four. Very peaceful, unobstructed view of the pacific ocean with ditect beach access. Short drive to the center of Newport for dining and shopping.
Highly recommend staying at the Sea Gem Cottage. The location is stunning and the home is beautiful. Very clean with beautiful decor. We loved everything about our stay and can’t wait to go back!
We had an amazing time in this gorgeous home. Everything in the house is thoughtful and beautiful, and the sea views were spectacular (we saw whales spouting!). The beach was awesome and fairly easy to access, and the host was responsive and very helpful. We loved it!
Beautiful, cozy beach house with the most amazing views! Lots of love went into the preparation of the house and the location cannot be topped. Thank you, Josh, for a wonderful place we could stay at for a week!
We couldn’t have enjoyed this cottage and location any better. Everything was perfect and we can’t wait to go back. Gorgeous views, easy and close beach access. The loft was a real treat. Thanks Josh!
Our family of four (including two children ages 5 and 8) stayed here for 5 nights this summer. The cabin is super cute, clean and comfortable. The view cannot be beat! We enjoyed the proximity to lots of tourist sites and attractions. We would definitely book here again.
Somehow, even better than we expected. The cottage was absolutely charming, clean, and well equipped. The views were priceless. The perfect place to unwind for a quiet weekend. The only thing I would note is that the steps down to the ocean were quite difficult for my 65-year-old mother-in-law with arthritis. Some of the steps are pretty big, and slippery when wet. If you have someone in your group whose mobility is not the best, and you want direct access to the beach, this may not be the spot for you. That said, we drove and accessed the beach from the state park down the road after one difficult climb down and up. This would not prevent us from coming back, however. We will be back!
The property is fantastic! My best friend and I stayed 4 nights. It was a great time. The home was spotless, the view amazing, couldn’t ask for more. Looking forward to returning to this property.
This property is so cute and cozy! It had everything we needed and you cannot beat the location. I just wish we could have stayed longer. The property owner was great when we had a small problem with the septic system. Solved in no time and back to having fun. Beach access is a huge plus! We will stay again for sure! East check in and out too. Highly recommend!!
I was nervous, given all of the 5* reviews, that we would be disappointed, but sea gem really does live up to its incredible reputation!
Fab location, between lots of amazing places to visit and eat. The cottage itself is modern, clean and spacious, with plenty of space for all 5 of us.
The beach was so quiet and we rarely saw anyone else on it. Beautiful sunsets to see from the porch.
Absolutely perfect!
I booked this stay just to have a few days to myself to destress a bit. The house was great — clean, had everything I needed and was comfortable— and the view was spectacular! I did discover that I didn’t have cell service there, but perhaps that’s not such a bad thing when you’re trying to escape for a few days! (WiFi was fine.) Would definitely recommend.
The property was exactly as pictured, was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and had everything we needed. The views were spectacular and I just loved listening to the waves as I fell asleep each night. It was my first time to the Oregon Coast and the Sea Gem Cottage was the perfect place to stay. Attractions were also close by, like the Aquarium, Depoe Bay, and we saw the sea lions basking in the sun in Newport Bay. Even saw some seals swimming by the lighthouse.
