Hand-Built Gem with Two Large Decks and Incredible Views - 1/4 Mile to the Beach

Escape to Oceanside

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The spectacular landscape of the Northern Oregon Coast awaits when you stay at this beautiful hand-crafted Oceanside vacation rental. With a superb location just a quarter-mile from the beach and breathtaking views of the coast from not one but two south-facing decks, this homey cabin infuses your vacation with a unique touch of the Pacific Northwest.

Tucked away in the quiet village of Oceanside, this home is perfect for anyone hoping to escape the crowds of Oregon's more popular coastal towns. Stroll down the hill to the broad, sandy beach, where you can explore tide pools, go kitesurfing, or marvel at the rugged terrain. For a change of pace, hike up to the lighthouse at Cape Meares, or head into nearby Tillamook for a tour of its world-famous Cheese Factory. (We recommend picking up some groceries while you're there - Oceanside only has a couple of restaurants and no markets.)

The house is built entirely from wood and boasts an unobstructed 15-mile view of the water and shoreline, along with two spacious decks for admiring the scenery. Inside, you'll find two separate sections: a main suite with two bedrooms and a loft, and a smaller studio with a private entrance. There's no TV, but you'll find plenty of books, speakers for your music, and free WiFi for checking your social media and chatting with friends back home. Both the main house and the studio also include their own kitchens with a stove, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, plus private access to their own deck.

Escape to Oceanside for an Oregon getaway you'll never forget. Book your reservation today!

*Please note that cell service is very poor in Oceanside, and will be a little better toward the road or much better in Netarts (two miles away). Please plan accordingly!

We loved the layout and would definitely stay again. The place has a lot of character. With its quarky floor plan. I loved the lack of tv, would love another lamp option in the main living area. (I like to draw so being well lit during sundown hours is nice.) I also know that Keeping up care on that much wood is a lot of work. That said the floor could use a good restain to ensure continued longevity!Beds blankets and extra blankets were so warm and soft.All in all a great place to stay for some time at the beach.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary getaway. The views were beautiful and we enjoyed having large windows to take it all in. However, be mindful that there are no window coverings. The distance to the cafes and beach was perfect. We walked down the hill each day to enjoy the charming community and stunning beach. We appreciated that there were camping chairs and beach towels offered. It was a cozy space and a memorable trip.

Great view!

House isn't brand new, it's a rustic experience, however it is functional and clean on the inside. However the view and proximity to the beach are tough to beat in Oceanside.

Very special house

My family used to frequently rent this house when I was a kid. I was so happy to discover it’s still available, AND it hasn’t changed AT ALL 20 years later! It’s a very unique house, beautifully designed, with incredible views of the ocean, tons of character. I’m so happy I got to experience it again.

Absolutely gorgeous view

We've been staying at this house for over 30 years and still love it. However, it could use a little sprucing up. It needs a new double mattress and a working microwave in the downstairs unit. And also for both units, bath towels that actually absorb water and instructions to the convection oven. Also better dish soap and a pot scrubber would be great. The overall cleanliness could be improved as well. But we will absolutely stay here again.

Beach

We have stayed in the property 3or4 times. The property needs a lot of work done. The deck and porch have rotting boards . The oven and dishwasher aren't properly installed and the kitchen cabinets need To be refinished. We use to like to stay there but would have to look at other options.

Favorite but neglected

This has been a favorite place to stay in Oceanside. The home is warm and cozy, the view is perfect, and love the overall property. But it seems there has been little attention put back into this property for years. Rustic is fine, but neglected and verging on unsafe now is too much. We opened a window and thought we might not get it closed again before it may have been left hanging. Another window is duct taped in place. The railings are wobbly to the point we wonder if you could push them over. You can see daylight through holes that have rotted through the boards on the deck, and the deck shakes when someone is walking in the house itself. After having stayed in this property multiple times over the years we will not be booking here again in its current condition. It is a shame to see such a wonderful place so neglected. Please someone put some care back into this lovely property!

Absolutely love this home. The views are incredible and the home is so unique and charming. It was such a treat to wake up to these views each morning and walk down to the beach whenever we felt like it. The home is overdue for a deep clean, but it was satisfactory in terms of the typical turnaround clean.

The property location was great..the property itself needs some updating and overall could use a make over on the decor. However the location was very convenient and the views were wonderful. The one thing that was a let down was the cleanliness of the place. We found hairs on a cutting board and we couldn't find plates, we then discovered that the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes! The smell was terrible when we open the dishwasher door, we had to buy paper plates. Even if they were clean, it would have been nice if we didn't have to grab them from the dishwasher. Other than that our stay was fine. The beds were comfortable but the couch not so much. One other little detail is that the door code they send you is so long it's kind of an inconvenience. Also there is no tv if you care for that. We will probably stay somewhere else next time.

Tranquil get away!

Oceanside is a beautiful place! This house worked out perfectly because it had a studio like apartment in the basement for my son and his wife and then the main house had a loft and two other bedrooms, bath and laundry. There is no TV, but the views are so incredible, I didn’t mind. We were able to watch the blood moon eclipse from the two decks that overlook the ocean. There was a small repair that needed to be done, but it could have waited till after we left. I let management know and they immediately came over and fixed it. This house has a lot of beach charm and if you’re looking for an affordable space, it is a wonderful option!

Definitely would return!

Beautiful wooden house with 2 levels. Awesome view of the Pacific. We visited Depoe Bay one day and Cannon Beach another. Just outside of Tillamook. Some stairs to navigate. Can be slippery when wet. Nice laundry and bathroom facilities. Two functional kitchens. Loved it!

Worked great

I rented the house for the limited mobility access. There are a few steps, but once you entered the main level there is a room and a both on that floor. We didn't really feel comfortable using the convection oven (there were no instructions and no one had used one in the past) so we ran downstairs to use the oven in the apartment studio below. It was an unusual setup and was relatively comfortable. Yes the floors squeak, but I figure it was like a built in alarm system. All and all I nice quiet weekend if you wish to unplug from the real world. I would recommend this for a group couples weekend since there are two separately contained units in the one house.

Oceanside

The house had a great view and very short walk to the beach. The bathroom downstairs is very small but fine. The bbq was filthy and didn't work and there's no TV so we brought our own for the the kids. Just a warning though the floors are very squeaky so if you're a light sleeper don't sleep downstairs. Probably wouldn't rent this place again but we are older I think it would be a great place for younger people. They do supply ample necessities. Beautiful views and the two decks were awsome for relaxing..I would definitely book with Vacasa again they are extremely helpful

GREAT view, funky amenities

As usual, the view and privacy made up for a few deficiencies. The kitchen chairs are rickety and uncomfortable, but the couches are excellent. The natural light is outstanding. Light sleepers should beware of the squeaky floors. They still need curtains and more hooks/ shelves in the bedrooms.

House needs work

While the location had great views as promised it had not been cleaned. Beds were made, but the cooktop was greasy and contained dog hair salsa on the backsplash and wall mouse droppings and popcorn on the floors of the garbage cupboards and under the sink. Microwave had not been cleaned and the floors had not been swept, socks from the previous guest had been left on the floor. Would gave walked right back out the door had we had anywhere else to go Vacasa did have someone come and clean the next afternoon but by then we just wanted to get out of there. We are not first time travelers and probably would not have been so put off by this property if we had not always had great homes through vrbo in the past.
