Ona Beach B&B - GR Comments

25 July 2007, Ryan & Amber, SLC, UT: What a wonderful place to get away from everyday life. The design of the home is great. The natural light and stylish decor
make for a very relaxing stay. The hot tub is a great touch to just be alone with the sound of the ocean as the orchestra. Breakfast was hot, fresh, delicious and capped
off a perfect getaway!

29 July 2007, Chris & Stephanie, Portland: We truly enjoyed your amazing guest room and the tasty, and very pretty, breakfast. We loved the omelettes; they're the best!
You made our stay relaxing, fun and enjoyable. I will recommend this place to my friends! And oh, your carpet is so comfortable as well, and the Jacuzzi tub so good!

19 August 2007, Drew & Heather, Vancouver, BC: The honeymooners have safely returned to Vancouver from a wonderful week driving along the Oregon Coast. We
both agree that your B&B was the favourite of all that we stayed in on this trip! Thank you very much for your delightful hospitality and amazing breakfasts, as well as
a taste of Oregon we would not have experienced in a hotel. It truly was delightful. [email]

26 August 2007, Marina, Portland, OR: Thank you both, Cynthia & Don, for your warm hospitality. It will long be remembered. Also, on behalf of my children I want to
express my special thanks for going the extra mile. You both are wonderful and a joy to know! Warmest wishes for continued success in your business along with
wishes for good health and happy years together.

10 September 2007, Gary & Cindy, Milton, WI: This was our first time staying at a B&B. You've made it very hard for any future B&Bs we might stay at. You have set
the bar very high. Our stay with you was wonderful. It met and exceeded our expectation. We will always remember this as one of the highlights of our 30th wedding
anniversary celebration.

3 September 2007, Casey & Tabitha, Portland, OR: Thank you so much for welcoming us into your beautiful home. All of your wonderful advice for visiting sites in the

fresh seafood! Jen & I loved staying here. We just wish we could stay longer. Thanks for your wonderful
hospitality. P.S. The chocolate wine was very good!

13 September 2007, Nancy & Bob, Madison, WI: What a welcome! Award winning Pinot Noir as we enter the door. & the smell of quiche that awaited us in the
morning. This is a beautiful home filled with wonderful art - if only we had more time to appreciate it and share your company. Keep on dancing! P.S. Delicious quiche.
Thank you.

5 October 2007, Don & Trudy: Thank you both so much for sharing your home and wonderful warm hospitality with us. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - the
breakfast was oh so tasty!! Your recommendations for restaurants, etc. were much appreciated.

6 October 2007, Michael & Tanna: We had a wonderful weekend. We really enjoyed meeting you both. Your home is so beautiful. This was our first time at a bed and
breakfast and we really enjoyed it. Your breakfast was great. You made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Thanks again for sharing your home.

9 October 2007, Gary & Sandy: I have stayed in B&Bs whose breakfasts were less than I expected (store bought donuts) but your yummy meals were even more than I
expected! Wish we could have lingered longer.

6 December 2007, Sarah & Tyler: Don & Cynthia, you guys were awesome! I don't think I've ever had a better breakfast anywhere! Tyler and I really needed a relaxing
getaway and this hit the spot to a "T". Thank you so much! (P.S. That sugar-free fudge was "all that!")

16 December 2007, Shanna & Jesse: What a perfect place for a quiet and relaxing weekend! The breakfasts
were so delicious. The hosts were were more than helpful and gracious. Even at this time of year the hot tub
was a treat! What a great time, we'll definitely be back. :)

22 December 2007, Rod & Elaine, Ft. Worth, TX: This has been a wonderful respite for us. Your house is beautiful! The view is out of this world - I don't want to leave
it! The breakfast was a gourmet delight! Merry Christmas

to have stayed here and can't wait to make a return trip! Again, thank you.

25 February 2008, Teejay & Brian [repeat customers!]: Last day here with you both and Bryan and I are dragging our feet. We just ate another scrumptious breakfast
from you w/ wonderful coffee and a stormy morning view. Thank you both for a fun, clean and well looked after experience. Your complimentary nature ensures a
wonderful visit and the environs always reduce me to near mute status - so sorry if I'm not overly talkative, you make us feel comfy and welcome :) This was our 2nd
visit with you and we'll be back, revisiting romance; picking up new shells and stones and memories.

17 March 2008, Laurie & Emmett: Dear Reader: If you are just arriving, consider dinner at Panache, or the prix fixe dinner at the Sylvia Beach Hotel, both in Nye Beach.
Go to the Aquarium (again, if you have been before). Take in some galleries. And of course you will go to the ocean's edge. Have a great time! If you are about to leave you
know as well as we (and all the previous writers here) how hard the hosts have worked to provide the optimum B&B experience at the Oregon coast. It is the attention to
detail that we appreciate so much: the presentation of the food, with fresh fruit & flowers; complimentary robes; the decor; the sharing of treasures from the wine cellar; the
heated towel rack; not one, not two but three muffin choices, and so on. Our wedding anniversary weekend was ever so much more special for being here. Very likely,
we'll be back.

22 March 2008, Cynthia: Thank you for such a wonderful stay (albeit too short!) in your beautiful home. I had a cosy sleep after my long drive. The hot tub with those
massaging neck option was a treat! ... but the breakfast was worth the price of admission - truly you are the master of quiche!!! It was so nice to meet you. You helped
make my first trip to the Oregon Coast an enjoyable memory. Thank you!

25 March 2008, Laura & Doug: Thank you for a wonderful stay. We enjoyed ourselves greatly. You have made our first experience in a B&B memorable. We hope to
come back soon.

26 March 2008, Brian & Kimella [gorgeous handwriting!]: This was a great visit for us; we enjoyed the view, the comfortable room and the walks on the beach
(preferred the access at 148th). The breakfast was super ... the colorful fresh fruit, small potatoes and quiche were delicious and nicely presented (along with additional
items). Thank you for matching our preferences so well! Thank you for the warm friendly hospitality.

29 March 2008, Eric & Christina: Thus far, amazing! Your home is beautiful and the room cozy and inviting. Wonderful memories for my 21st B-day. Thank you so
much for the delicious Champagne! :) The jet tub was a dream come true. Your hospitality was unlike any other, as were your recommendations for food and
entertainment. Breakfast was delectable; loved everything about it. Conversation was a treat as well. Thank you so much!

28 March 2008, Will & Leslie: The sunny walks on the beach... The wonderful breakfasts & cozy comfortable surroundings, the considerate host & hostess, the warm
soaks in the hot tub ... all have contributed to our joyous, relaxing time here - what a wonderful spot, time, people ... Thank you so much for having us in and caring for
us. Your home is so beautiful, elegant and functional. We have enjoyed our time with you beyond our ability to describe. Thank you so much - affectionately, Will &
Leslie

what we needed. It was our first official "road trip" on our new Ducati. Great ride, beautiful house, nice dinner at "Panache" and great breakfast in the A.M. We will
most certainly return when we have more time. Thanks again for everything. If you ever want to come to Bend, we have two spare rooms - give us a call!

9 July 2008, Sarah & Craig, Central Point, OR: Wow! These four days have flown by too fast! Thank you for your tips and insight on the spots to see in Newport. We
really enjoyed the lighthouses and the Local Ocean restaurant. And as for the B&B - AMAZING!! The food was fabulous!! And we enjoyed the hot tub every night. It
was a great way to warm up and soak our muscles after walking around on the beaches. Thanks for a great 10th Anniversary!!

honeymoon! It was so much more than we expected; wonderful breakfasts, gourmet food, awesome views & the best coffee! Our bedroom was cozy & intimate, and all
our needs were met! And the hot tub was awesome too. We love the coast & all the sights, and just having a non-rushed, relaxed schedule was perfect. Thank you for
