Super Fun Coast House & Location-Great Water and Wildlife Views

Note: for larger house option (Happy Clam Plus) accommodating up to 13 guests go to vrbo.com/914857

The Happy Clam is a stylish comfortable home with walls of windows, including a two-story great room. This makes for wonderful viewing of the water, sky and historic bridge. Inspiring in any kind of weather. The location is ideal:

* sits right on the south jetty of the Yaquina River with great views of Newport bay to the ocean - pelagic birds and seals are regularly in view as are fishing boats cruising by.

* is at the epicenter of a fun neighborhood within walking distance - a serene beach, clam beds, biking, pier for crabbing, marina, Rogue Brewery, marine attractions including the fabulous Aquarium, marine science center, restaurants, shops, glass blowing, bike trails and miles of beach.

* is wonderfully comfortable for a great night's sleep, lounging, and fully equipped for fun activities including games, ping pong, pool table, foosball

* close to fun festivals and events: just several minutes walk to events at the brewery, marina/pier, aquarium, science center or fun bike rides into South Beach State Park and beyond.

4 BEDROOMS TOTAL (including small bunk bedroom)

Normally arrival/departure is 4 pm/11 am. For arrivals and bookings of groups on the same day, the arrival and departure times may change up to 5pm/10am due to housekeeping requirements for this big house.

This listing is for the MAIN HOUSE of the Happy Clam, up to 8 guests. For more space, the entire house is rentable which includes a lovely apartment on the ground floor, please go to vrbo.com/914857 for reservation.

The main part of the house centers on the second and third levels with wonderful views. There we have 3 bedrooms (1-King and 2 Queens) plus a bunk room (small room with bunk beds) and a loft area with a pull-out couch. The bedrooms all have walk-in closets and baths. There are 2HDTVs and plenty of couches and chairs. The master bedroom has a double walk-in closet with enough room for a twin mattress in one side for extra sleeping place.

The dining table seats 8 and the kitchen counter seats 3. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, pans, pots, cutlery, spices, flour, sugar.

Most groups of 7-8 who have rented the house before or more want to rent the entire house, which includes a cheery APARTMENT we open up on the ground floor. The rates are about $100 more per night. In the apartment, there is a bedroom with a queen bed, a bath, a small living room and kitchen plus another HDTV. We do not rent this separately to other groups, but it can be added to the main house. With this, The Happy Clam can handle up to 13 people. It's nice to have this space for those that are bit noisier or need more quiet time -- depending on the group.

The Happy Clam is great for smaller families and is also perfect for expanded family get-togethers, retreats, book and other clubs, reunions, birthday or other special days (including surprises) - or just plain getting away from the routine. There is no bad season to hang at the Happy Clam. It's always relaxing and never boring.
Ring doorbells with video exist outside the house for security purposes.

Great House, great location.lots of stairs

This is a lovely house in a wonderful location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but think it won't be long before all of us are unable to climb the many steps involved. Unfortunately the stool in one of the bathrooms was non-functional but fortunately there was another bathroom just across the hall. Also, the housekeeper failed to put bedding on the bunkbeds so we had to scrounge around and find sheets for one of them. This house would be especially appropriate for either a large family or two families traveling together but worked well for four old ladies, too.

Beautiful view and great location.

Very warm on third floor, a few other minor glitches but overall a good stay. Detailed info on amenities and area outlined in a couple of binders. Owner and caretaker were readily available and easy to contact. There is a lot of activity choices both in the home and in the community. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic stay!

Great house with a great location. Right on the jetty for fishing and access to south beach. Very close to the boat ramp. Driveway big enough for multiple vehicles and a boat. The house is fantastic for families to gather. We loved being able to watch the seals play in the water from the kitchen table. We would definitely come back!

House was beautiful with great views of the bay. Loved walking to the pier and watching the crabbers. The house had everything we needed to go crabbing and clamming, but we ran out of time. House had everything we needed.

The Happy Clam is an outstanding vacation destination. The condition of the home was perfect for us.

Happy Clam location, condition and care of the little details that make a home away from home your place are superb. There was nothing that we needed that was not provided. The next time we head to the Oregon coast, Newport and the Happy Clam will be our destination. Gary and Shari, thanks for opening your home to my family. Your hospitality is the best.

Property was well maintained and very comfortable. Loved it!

The happy clam is an awesome home to stay in. They have everything you need and the master suite is amazing! Beautiful views of the ocean. My only disappointment was that we weren't right on the beach. My son enjoyed fishing off the jetty and the pier though. We had a very enjoyable time.

Happy (as a) Clam! Phenomenal!!

My family and I spent a fantastic week at the Happy Clam. Gary and Sherie are outstanding hosts. This is truly a home away from home. From linens to flat wear to comfortable furniture, it is outstanding. The home is spacious, yet cozy, allowing private rooms and baths for each family. Games galore, binoculars and a crab pot for the more motivated. We watched the seals play in the bay, locals and tourists fishing, clamming, crabbing and surfing. The walk to the beach is quite easy and a huge expanse of sandy beach that stretched for miles upon arrival. The Rogue Brewery is a quick walk with good food and great IPA's. We enjoyed the ESCAPE ROOMS, an unexpected treat. The weather was fantastic all week, not something that can be controlled but an added bonus. We will certainly return in the future for another relaxing getaway. Thank you for sharing your HOME! Blessings to all. Tammy M.

Wonderful location and house

We've stayed at many VRBOs and the Happy Clam is very near the top of the list. The location is great and very walkable to Rogue Brewery, Hatfield, and the Aquarium. The views are wonderful no matter the weather and the house is well appointed. Very large master suite with nearby bunkbeds on the top floor, two very nice bedrooms with attached bathrooms on the second floor, and garage/entertainment room on the ground floor. Owners are thoughtful in what is included, with crabbing and BBQ gear available, lots of games, and very adequately supplied bathrooms. I personally loved the kitchen; as an avid cook, I notice when cookware is well cared for, non-stick pans are fully functional, knives are sharp, basic spices and oils are available, and a wide range of cooking utensils are present. We will definitely return.

Wonderful Place to Stay!!!

We stayed at the Happy Clam during Spring Break of March of 2017. There were 7 of us including my elderly mom. First off, the location is great. Nice view, quiet area and quick access to the beach, the aquarium and Bay blvd. There is a nice pier practically right outside the door where you can walk out and watch people crabbing. The setup of the house was perfect for us. There are two bedrooms on the main floor which was nice for my mom since she doesn't navigate stairs very well. Up above were the master and loft area. Below the main floor is the garage/game room with the washer and dryer. The Happy Clam is nicely appointed and well furnished. The furniture and appliances are very well kept up and up to date. The beds were very comfortable with nice linens. We were very impressed with the giant blue tooth sound system, the large flat screen tv's, gas fireplace, ping pong table and pool table. The kitchen was well equipped for anything you might need. In general, the house was very clean. I reached out to the owners on a couple of occasions with questions. Gary was very quick to respond and seemed very motivated to make our stay the best it could possibly be. The instructions for your arrival and departure were very simple and reasonable. We would definitely stay there again and hope circumstances allow us to stay there next spring break!
