If you want to have more than 8 guests, you MUST include the correct number of guests at the time of booking or request to modify your reservation and receive approval IN ADVANCE of your stay to ensure compliance with local ordinances and the correct rate is calculated – no exceptions. Violations will result in the booking being cancelled and no refund will be provided, again this is to ensure compliance with local ordinances. This has never been an issue with our amazing guests.• The property has a large oceanfront yard and gorgeous setting with firepits, palm trees and private beachfront access, ideal to create those memorable family gatherings.• Regarding pets, we allow dogs (no cats) on a case-by-case basis. The key things we look for to allow a dog to stay is that they are housebroken (potty trained), are small (<20 lbs), non-shedding type dog, that they are mature (not a puppy, i..e >2 years old), not allowed on any furniture, do not cause damage to the floors or anything else and that the owners of the pets thoroughly clean up after them before check-out (i.e. vacuum to remove all pet hair, etc.). We also ask that guests bring a dog bed for the dog to sleep in and not allow them to sleep on the carpet. We just want to keep the place clean, looking new and smelling fresh for every guest. We also have a small pet fee if they meet these criteria. A maximum of 2 dogs are allowed but they must meet the pet requirements and be approved in advance, no exceptions.Two days prior to check-in, we will email you information with the pass code for the electronic locks and other useful information for your stay. In the meantime, we wanted to provide you with some of the info that's included in that email so you can start planning your fun :-)• Tasting local goodies:o Tillamook Cheese Factory: Great fun at the factory as they provide tours of the cheese-manufacturing process, tasty samples of the local product and delicious ice creamo Blue Heron: Cool shop offering a variety of tastings from dips, brie cheese to wine. • As for crabbing, Netarts Bay is one of the best locations in Oregon. We love crabbing from the shore, building a bonfire and clamming all at the same time - it's almost like a oceanside triathlon :-)o You can rent crabbing boats at nearby facilities. You can also purchase shellfish licenses at each location (required for crabbing, clamming and mussels). Just give them a call in advance to reserve the boats and ask them to suggest the best times to go crabbing (they’ll check out the tides for you). They can also give you tips on where to go clamming. For clamming, we typically go for cockles and use garden rakes to get them out of the sand. You can also go for gapers. • Be sure to visit Cape Meares for some incredible sight-seeing and photography/video. It’s just a short drive from our house.• “The triple-play bonanza fun (crab, clam and bonfire all at the same time and steps from the house.” I suggest doing this 1 hour before low tide if you want to go clamming. From the house, walk to the beach access. Toss out your crab traps (ideally low tide so you can get to the deeper channel). One trick is to tie a long rope (like 200’) to the float on your trap so you can tie that off on the shore or to a stick that you push into the sand. Once you toss out your traps, collect driftwood and create your bonfire. Once the fire is started, check your crab traps and then toss them back in for another 30 minute “soak.” Now grab your buckets and walk to the south maybe 100-200 yards and you’ll find the clam beds. You know you’re at the right place as you’ll see hundreds of holes in the sand. Stomp on the ground and if the clams squirt water up at your legs you’re there…it reminds me of the fountains in Portland’s Waterfront. Once you have found the clams, start digging (use a shovel or you can be rough and tough and use your hands…they both work). The clams are about 18-24” below the surface. Once you find a clam, keep searching in the same area and you’ll find many more. It's not uncommon to find 40+ clams in one area and these are the Pacific Gaper Clam (or “horse” clam). Now don’t forget about the crab traps. Check these at 30-minute intervals but you can always leave them soaking longer if you want. Have fun!• “Coffee, Mussel and Tunnel Adventure (allow ~3 hours and suggest going 1-2 hours before low tide if possible)”. If you enjoy eating mussels or just want a nice long walk with incredible views and great beach combing, this is so much fun. From the house, walk to the beach access. Head north (to the right) so you’ll be walking along the water’s edge with the Pacific Ocean on your left side. Continue walking north until you reach Oceanside. You’ll have breathtaking views of the Three Arch Rocks, but wait, the views and experiences have just begun. At this point, walk to one of the coffee shops just a few steps away and get a large vanilla latte. Head back down to the beach with your latte and then continue walking north until you reach the base of the cliff. You’ll see a dark hole at the base to the right side…that’s the tunnel! Walk through the tunnel…it’s quite large but watch your head. Once you get to the other side, you’ll have a completely different view and OMG…why didn’t we find this place sooner. Ok, you’re still not done having fun. As you exit the tunnel and are in awe of the views, walk along the base of the cliff to the water’s edge. If you’re at low tide, the retreat of the water has now exposed the bounty of the sea! If you look along the edge of the rocks at the base of the cliff, you’ll see all kinds of mussels. You can literally pick and choose what size mussel you want. We suggest bringing a plastic bag (i.e. Safeway shopping bag) and possibly some sharp instruments (like a fishing knife) to remove the mussels from the rocks. If you plan on getting mussels, you'll need a shellfish license. Which you can get from Big Spruce (close to the house at 850 Netarts Highway West in Netarts) or Fred Meyer in Tillamook. • Also, there's a charming shop close by called the "Cool Stuff" located nearby• Maximum occupancy per county ordinance is 13 guests total with a maximum of 10 adults + up to 3 children age 12 or under• STR License#: 851-20-000038-STVR• Outdoor-only cameras next to parking spaces/entry are present
