Blue Octopus #2 Beach Access
Bright, clean, cozy 1-br cottage is literally steps from one of the nicest beaches on the coast. There is room in the bedroom for a queen airbed if you are a couple and bringing a kid or two and don't mind the squeeze, but otherwise this is ideal for a couple. The beach features cool rock formations, a fresh water tidal creek ideal for kids to play in, a long gentle surf break for wading. It's just a perfect beach for kite flying, long inspiring walks and campfires at night!
Please note that this unit (#2) is directly below Unit 1. It is an older building and sound does carry between floors. You can expect to hear the renters above you.

Great location
Just off the beach this was a perfect little overnight stay. The upstairs neighbors were easy to hear but we had been warned of that. Even short-staffed they were able to get us checked in early. Thank you!

Little Beach stay
It's a nice spot right on the beach. Beautiful views just a short walk from the place. It's quiet and comfortable.
Nice place to spend a few nights. The lovely beach is just a few yards away and we walked it every morning and some afternoons. My only complaint is the noise from the unit above us. You can clearly hear people walking around and even their talking a little. Fortunately this did not go on much past 9PM or so. Otherwise all was what I expected and our stay was pleasant.
Such an awesome stay to walk just a few steps to the beach!

Awesome
Staff was amazing, My Granddaughter lost her cat and the staff did everything they could to help. Amazing people, they could have just said "so what", but went the extra mile. God bless them. Would stay here again.

Sweet Stay
While we only stayed one short night, we loved the coziness of the property and took full advantage of the incredible beach access! We are working on planning another trip in the future and hope we can stay here again.

Ideal Getaway
Just a short trip from Portland to beautiful Tillamook Co. The Blue Octopus had all the provisions for our very comfortable stay in this old-style fishing village. Will be back soon!
