About this house rental
Historic Dowd House - Meredith Lodging
Prepare for a cozy and wonderful stay in Historic Dowd House, a historic oceanfront home with two living areas steeped in classic Oregon Coast cottage detail. Perched on a high cliff above the southern side of Alsea Bay, you’ll have sea views from the home and panoramic outdoor views of the south and north sand spits, Alsea Bay and the Pacific. You’ll love the eclectic, old-world details of the cottage, from beamed wood ceilings, antique furnishings and an amazing rock-and-shell-embedded wood-burning fireplace hearth with clever sailing ships on the mantle. Fully equipped kitchen, along with a second living room, making this a great home to share with another family. There’s one ground-level bedroom with a nearby bath, and two upstairs sleeping areas, each with its own staircase. One side has a bath and two bedrooms, a queen and an ocean-view king with a charming twin bed with a window to the sea. The other side is a wood-lined queen suite with a private ocean-view deck. Located down a lane in a quiet residential area, Historic Dowd House is just up the hill from Waldport, walking distance to the Hilltop Cafe-Bistro, and an easy drive to all the fun activities in Newport or Florence, with all the stellar scenery in between.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Dec 2025
Everything about this home was incredibly cute and beautifully decorated—it was such a fun place to stay. The views were absolutely breathtaking. I loved the unique layout with two sides to the home: two sets of stairs, two kitchens—it felt almost like a duplex, but we had the entire space to ourselves. The fireplaces were a wonderful touch and added so much coziness.The hot tub was a highlight for us, especially watching the sunset while soaking—truly unforgettable.The only downsides were that some of the beds weren’t the most comfortable, and the uneven floors posed a challenge. For my elderly father, who has balance issues, this led to a few near falls, which is worth noting for guests with mobility concerns.Overall, we’d give this place a solid 4.5 stars. We would most likely stay here again!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Location and views are wonderful. Had everything we needed and would highly recommend getting more comfortable beds. Makes you not want to stay longer than 3 nights. Very strict on no early check in or late check out. Overall it was very enjoyable.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
The layout of the house gave everyone in our party the right amount of togetherness and privacy! The pine paneling, games and knickknacks made us nostalgic for previous trips to the coast—while the hot tub was a welcome upgrade for chilly mornings and late afternoons.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2025
We enjoyed the view, the house was comfy and well appointed. Needed beach towels for 8, not the 5 that were provided.
