2 Br Apartment Vacation Rental In Astoria, Oregon

Summary:

This is an older duplex, that we've furnished with homey touches to provide a comfortable base for exploring Astoria! We love drinking coffee and watching the passing barges and the goings-on of urban-industrial Uniontown Astoria from the big front window. Pets, friends and family are welcome here, although we ask that furry friends are kept OFF the beds and couches, as it is difficult to de-hair the furnishings! We're excited to share our love of the ruggedly beautiful Oregon coast with you!
The Space:

Our home consists of two bedrooms, bathroom, living room, kitchen and laundry room. This is a downstairs apartment, and the upstairs apartment is also available for short term rent. Please note that our proximity to the 101 means that noise from cars can be heard inside the unit! Please also be aware that this older building has some quirks! we can not use hair dryers in the bathroom, and we request that the microwave not be turned on in conjunction with the stove range. We can accommodate up to 7 people, although space would be limited and to be the most comfortable, we recommend staying here only with 6 or less guests in total.
Guest Access:

The kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom and laundry room are all yours. There is a backyard (shared with the upstairs unit) that your pet can use, but you'll need to monitor them while they're back there as it is unfenced. Also, pet owners MUST pick up after their pets using the yard.
The Neighborhood:

Our place is located just off of the Oregon Coastal Highway 101 (W Marine Dr) as it runs through Astoria. The confluence of the Youngs and Colombia Rivers being remarkably close-by, it is often intensely windy and wet outside the front door. Please keep this in mind while packing and planning for your trip! You can access the historic piers by crossing the 101, which are within brief walking distance. While it is possible to reach downtown by foot (about half hours walk), we recommended going by car for errands, sightseeing etc. Our favorite grocery store (Astoria Co+op) is located on the far side of town, about 7 minutes drive from the house, on Marine Drive. Other shopping options including Walmart, Goodwill, TJ Maxx and Costco are located about 8 minutes away, on the other side of the Astoria-Warrenton Bridge.
Getting Around:

With downtown Astoria being about 30 minutes on foot from our home, we recommend either driving to your dinner or shopping destination, or making an adventure of it by taking the riverwalk and stopping at the numerous riverfront breweries along the way. Quaint shops, eclectic restaurants, and shopping malls perched precariously over the river are all on display for the riverwalk adventurer.
Other Things to Note:

There is no a/c .

The Boat View house is on the main road, so please expect loud rush hour (4-7pm) and morning rush (7-9am) noise from cars.
Interaction with Guests:

We're on call 24/7 throughout the length of your stay to help with anything you might think of.

Astoria is home to this apartment. Notable landmarks in the area include Astoria Riverfront Trolley and Fort Stevens State Park. Astor Street Opry Company and Columbia River Maritime Museum are also worth visiting.
