Short Walk to a Sandy Beach! Ocean Views! Dog Friendly! Hot Tub!

Have a marvelous time on the central Oregon coast when you stay at the Moondance Cabin. You are sure to feel at home in this contemporary and comfortable dog friendly bungalow by the sea. At Moondance Cabin you will love the perfect open floor plan, an exceptional space to spend time with family and friends. Just a short walk to the beach, you can enjoy a day of beach combing, and then come home and enjoy a moonlight soak in the hot tub.

Open the windows and let the rhythmic sound of the surf help you to relax and unwind. Pamper yourself in the bathroom with beautiful tile, marble and deep double sinks. If taking it easy is on your mind, get lost in a good book while enjoying a glass of your favorite wine by the fire. This getaway offers free WiFi, flat screen HD TV's, Roku and a smart BluRay player to keep you entertained.

In the evening, plan a delicious barbeque and dine alfresco on the generous wrap around deck, before gathering to enjoy a beautiful sunset. There are bountiful opportunities for a truly unforgettable experience at the coast when you stay at Moondance Cabin!

The house was great!! Awesome location, clean and had everything we needed. A 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach. The hot water heater wasn't working probably, called the rental company and they reset it but it didn't fix it. We still had warm water so we made it work. Overall, grwat house.

Great Thanksgiving getaway!

We really enjoyed our Thanksgiving stay at this lovely home. It was a great place to cook, relax, and hang out while looking out at the water, and to make the short walk to the beach when we felt like getting outside. Great that it is a pet-friendly property, too!

This house was WONDERFUL

When I got to the house, the lights and fireplace were on and it was so welcoming! The house had an amazing view and was a super short and easy walk to a beautiful beach. The neighbors were really friendly and the location was great—a short drive to Newport, and an even shorter drive to Waldport. The beds were comfortable, the floors were easy to sweep (helpful with two dogs), and the wrap around porch was really neat. I cannot say enough good things about this house—we will definitely be back!

Can’t wait to visit again!

This house provided us a great getaway! The property is clean, the beds were fantastic, and walking distance to the beach. The beach is quiet and visiting early in the morning provided us the best experience. The yard is not fenced but secluded enough.

Great Home!

Waldport is a great location to access a beautiful section of the Oregon coast, and Moondance is a clean and comfortable small home with a beautiful view and a short walk to a large, sandy beach. We found excellent hikes, restaurants, shops, and activities nearby, and built one fantastic sand castle!

Great location and space.

Other than not finding an easy spot to charge my EV. I thought the space was perfect for our needs. The walk to the beach was pleasant and the location to beautiful yet more remote beaches was easy. I would highly recommend this location to others seeking a solid getaway.

Our stay was fun. The home was much smaller then it looks in the photos, we had 3 couples who had to share a very small bathroom. Other then that it was great.

Beautiful spot in mature enclave

Really nice remodel of a mid-century single story home. Nice open LR + kitchen floor plan, lots of light, nice deck and hot tub. The dwarf pines between all the properties in the neighborhood really make the place feel private. Very quiet at night. Easy walk to beautiful beach.

Nice home!

We enjoyed our stay here! Hot tub is newer than the one pictured and was so nice to warm up in at the end of the day! The house has nice updates and nice linens. Plenty of seating for everyone too! The management service was great and very welcoming. It’s a bit hard to see the ocean over the trees but it’s definitely there and we could see the whales spouting from the living room windows. Would definitely stay again!
