There are shops and a new candy store in town too! Multiple deer families live all over Pacific City; close sightings happened daily. Wild rabbits also frequent the area. Stop and take the time to look at the tide pools/rocks at the base of the sand dune. They are usually alive if you are paying attention!

There’s a brand new skate park in town. Bring your skate boards and scooters. Check it out behind Doryland pizza. Also - this is a surfing town. The water is cold so bring your wet suit!

Great spot!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Pacific City. The house was very clean, roomy and comfortable. The quick walks to the beach and the river were an added convenience. Our group of four included avid cyclists and runners who found great routes for both. And the communication with the host was excellent. We highly recommend!

Our stay here was great! Very close to the beach and walking distance to a couple restaurants and shops. The outdoor shower was helpful for rinsing sand off after playing on the beach. The host was very responsive to any questions. Beds were comfortable. The only little thing was the bunk beds are kind of squeaky, so if you’re sensitive to noises that could keep you up. Nothing some ear plugs can’t fix!

Great stay for fun at the beach

We all enjoyed our stay and had a great time! The Tunnel Beach at Oceanside was particularly cool. Beds were comfy and everything was clean and cozy. Only minor issue was one bathroom running out of TP as we had kids going before we left. Couldn't find spares. Thanks for the great stay. We may well book again

Clean and comfortable

Very comfortable, clean and inviting. The kitchen was well equipped. There are two hoses and an outdoor shower. Beach access can be difficult for the elderly to get to due to high sand dune. The hosts are in tune to what people like as there were games, tvs, toys, etc. available.

About the host

Hosted by Scott & Elaine Buchele

Host profile image
We are a family with 3 kids! We live in the Portland Metro area and visit the beach as often as possible!

Why they chose this property

We were married right out on the beach near this house. It's a very special home for us.

What makes this property unique

The location is amazing. Everything Pacific City has to offer is within a short walk. We love to salmon fish or take the boat out in the river. We also love to surf and play on the beach. The skate park and tide pools are both favorite activities.
