We’ve stayed at Shearwater several times for our Anniversary. We really enjoy the central location and easy access. Great stores and scenery very close. Staff is very friendly and accommodating and the place is very clean. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

This was my first trip to Lincoln City and stay at the Shearwater. In the pandemic atmosphere, I didn't quite know what to expect. The Shearwater and its staff were all friendly and the room was cozy & meticulous. The view from my balcony was breathtaking. I can't wait for my next trip.
The wear-off is quite audible. While sleeping in bed, I heard occasional water drops in the bathroom and footsteps from the upstairs guests.
Moreover, we want to warn other guests: when driving out of the garage, please use the left hand side if your car is tall, and use the right hand side if your car is not tall.
We learned this through a hard lesson. The garage exit is followed by a downward slope; there is an unnoticeable pavement depression on the left hand side, and the ground to ceiling distance is short on the right hand side. When we drove out of the garage exit from the left hand side, the bottom of our car was scraped and damaged, even though we drove very slowly and carefully.
We communicated the issue to the hotel manager and suggested a warning sign put at the exit. The manager explained that a warning sign may help avoid the pavement depression, but cars carrying a kayak once hit the garage ceiling when using the other side of the pavement. Finally, the manager emphasized that the hotel has been run in this way for twenty years and the car damage is our fault.
We would argue against the manager here. Just like furniture can wear off and harm a guest, pavement can wear off and damage the guest's car. The hotel is responsible for maintaining parking facilities just like maintaining furniture. If the pavement was designed as such, then you should put a warning sign!
We sincerely apologize there were some issues during your time with us. We want all guests to have an enjoyable and relaxing stay.
Rooms always clean, comfortable, and all with ocean view. Staff is wonderful, friendly, and willing to serve anytime. Even during Covid they bend over backwards to maintain our comfort! It is almost always where we stay. And! The beds are the most comfortable we've experienced when traveling!
We felt very safe with distancing, the room was immaculate, and we can’t wait to go back. We called, and our room was ready, so they let us check in early which is such a nice bonus. First class place to stay.
In the midst of the pandemic, we needed to get away over thanksgiving. This did the trick. Pet friendly, well-maintained property. Easy access to the beach. Comfortable room. Our only complaint is that like so many hotel rooms the lighting in the main area is poor. We want to read and had to move a light from the bedroom for two of us to be able to do that. The view of the ocean is great and with an end room, we had a great view to the south also.
