No question about the great view from this property. Wonderful to wake up to. On the other hand, the facility is very dated and poorly maintained. We had two rooms. One was a basic room with two queen beds and seemed adequate. The other was in a "one bedroom suite" Room 11, which had a bathroom with a big hole... More

We found Castaway by the Sea an ideal motel during our week in Port Orford. First and foremost, the view of the port, especially with a back-lit rolling fog, was impressive (see the included pic). Second, the room was clean, tidy, and had all the conveniences -- stove, oven, fridge, Sat TV -- we needed. Third, the manager was personable,... More

We had a pretty spacious suite with really good views of the harbor (all rooms have the same unobstructed view). We just stayed one night, but with a kitchen, dinette and living room, it would probably serve as a good base for visiting the local attractions over several days. The amenities were pretty basic, but the staff was extremely friendly... More

The Castaway was a beautiful place and the view gorgeous, but because it was up on a hill, the wind was ferocious. The summer winds in the area of Port Orford are dangerously strong. We could not enjoy being outside. When we first entered our room, we wondered why the little porch was permanently glassed in and then I realized... More

We spent one night here arriving late on a Saturday. We got the last room on the lower floor. The room was very nice and clean. It was well equipped with dishes, silverware, pots and pans, stove, kitchen sink, large refrigerator and freezer. The innkeeper was very friendly and helpful with our travel needs and advice which helped us a... More

We selected this hotel because it had good AAA ratings and advertised secure internet in the room, as well as allowing pets. Also WiFi was supposed to be available.Neither internet options were available. The innkeeper allowed us the use of the office internet. He was also helpful in accommodating a room issue. The room was very basic, which for the... More

My husband and I drove from the interior of BC to San Francisco and stayed one night here. We stayed in the deluxe room with an ocean view. Although it is an older hotel, the room was clean and comfortable, the manager was very friendly, referred a great restaurant for dinner. The best seafood we had on our entire trip!!!!... More

When I booked here, the Manager told me the view was the best and he wasn't wrong. Our last morning, we watched from our room as Pelicans dove for their morning catch. Not only a Great view but Port Orford is good base to commute to Gold Beach to the south and Bandon to the north. Castaways has some quirky... More

I stayed for 5 days at the Castaway, enjoyed the clean room and great views. Be warned about the WiFi though. Don't automatically assume your room will have wireless service even though it is advertised on the website. The weekend management was sympathetic and offered to compensate me in some way since moving to another room wasn't possible (they were... More
