You never know what you'll get along the coast in a pet-friendly, reasonably priced motel, most are mediocre at best. But The Fireside was perfect & just what we wanted! The room was spotless & a nice size for our family of 2 adults, 2 kids & 2 large dogs.
The view was fantastic & possibly the best view along that rocky part of the coast. The splashing waves were spectacular & in view from the room & patio.
The room was quiet, we hardly heard our upstairs neighbors & never heard any of the other residents.
The only minor complaint that we had was the continental breakfast, although good, was very limited in selection. There were wonderful scones each morning but for a non-scone eater, the dry cereal and/or oatmeal may not be enough to interest someone. They did have boiled eggs for some protein. But just one more option of a pastry, maybe some muffins or croissants, would have been a huge plus! They had good drink options; orange juice, milk & coffee.
This motel is right along the 804 trail in Yachats, we spent hours walking along there & enjoying the ocean. Caution is a must with children, you will want to keep them on the safe path as the rocks are slippery & the waves are very hard to predict. When that high tide rolls it, it is an amazing sight but very dangerous! If you walk along the trail, both to the north (through town) & south, you will find sandy beaches if that is what you are looking for.
We will definitely be back, we had a wonderful time at The Fireside!
