Whimsical Ocean Front Home! Hot tub & Dog Friendly!
Walk through the front door in to this quaint and quirky beach front home in Waldport. Enjoy every aspect of the coast, from the sand dunes to the rolling waves of the Pacific Ocean, while relaxing in this two bedroom, one and a half bath whimsical retreat. This Sweet Home boasts colorful accents and promises of finding fun touches throughout.
Whimsical Dunes is a colorful and sunny single level with loft home in the Bayshore Community of Waldport. There are two comfortable bedrooms that offer king size beds that can be turned in to two twins with advance notice. Between the two bedrooms is a newly remodeled bathroom with a walk in shower that was built with no lip allowing easy access for those that need it. The loft is a perfect space to escape to enjoy a good book, look out the windows and watch for whales or tuck away the kids in their own little hideaway. In addition, there is a half bath off of the laundry room. Watch the waves or one of our spectacular sunsets from the ocean front deck, enjoy the hot tub after a day of beachcombing, or grill up some fresh fish caught from one of the fishing vessels in Newport! *Whimsical Dunes has an EV Charging station so that you can charge at your destination- not on the highway - making this destination a home away from home for you and your EV.

This is our second time staying at this property. My kid loved it so much that he was packed and ready for the trip on Monday night when we weren’t heading to the coast until Saturday afternoon. The loft is his room when we stay there and he loves everything about this place. The kitchen is easily the most well stocked of any vacation rental we’ve used to date. Everything is clean and comfortable. Host was very organized and responsive, and the welcome materials are thorough to the point that I’ve never needed to get in touch once our stay begins. Highly recommend this rental for a great beach getaway.
My husband and I stayed for a little getaway and had a perfect time. The beach cabin is cozy, well remodeled and very comfortable. Bed was comfy, which is something most rentals lack. We squeezed in one beach walk before a massive storm hit. We did lose power, but we made the best of it. Would be a great stay for two families. Beach access is top tier.
Great property! Dog friendly, room for six, hot tub, sunsets, and lots of beach memories made. Great communication from owner & location is a plus! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stay!
Perfect place for a relaxing Thanksgiving getaway at the ocean. Loved the sunset view, from the deck and hot tub. Amazing selection of DVDs. The shower and tub were fun and truly luxurious. We brought wet suits and really enjoyed the easy access to the beach and waves. Thank you for the camp chairs - they were great to take in the sunset from the top of the dunes. Our pup Sebastian absolutely loved the beach! Another magical stay in Waldport - worth the drive!
Very nice property, easy beach access, super pleasant
Nice space with a sensible layout and a much much roomier feel than many vacation homes I've been in. Great Pacific-facing windows, good kitchen. We had a lovely stay.
This is a great property with a wonderful view of the ocean. It is decorated with wonderful quirky touches and has everything anyone would need to feel right at home. We really enjoyed our stay.
Great spot to enjoy time with our son on his college spring break. Located in easy driving distance to Newport to the north, Waldport to the immediate south, and Yachats just beyond. Very dog friendly, too. Highly recommend!
Property is as advertised. They were very clean. They could use a little WD 40 on the hot tub padlock, fix the microwave since the single digit minute is hard to see, and tighten the legs on the dining room chairs since they were wobbly (my husband did some). Great supply of towels. We only used one of the beds and it was comfortable.
Great location, good property, whimsical layout. Had some initial problems with connecting with the property manager but all was resolved. Comfortable beds, lotsa towels, and great back deck.
We so enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well equipped. The gated deck area was a favorite feature, and the outdoor shower with hot water for washing off the pups was great! Loved the hot tub and the quiet location.
Wow this property is absolutely incredible! We had such an incredible time reconnecting as a family and just slowing down. It was so peaceful and the house was incredible! Definitely recommend!
We had an amazing trip to Whimsical Dunes. The property itself was well maintained and nicely decorated. The location speaks for itself, with miles of quiet beach on either side of the property! It also has easy access to many popular towns and parks nearby. Would go back in a heartbeat!
Lovely property a short walk over a couple dunes to the beach. The hot tub is a great amenity. I was even more stoked for the foot shower. No AC, but you don’t need it. Windows open in 65 degree July evenings made for perfect sleeping conditions. Highly recommended
Stayed at Whimsical Dunes for a little mini writing retreat with my friend. We wanted a cozy place to write and we got it! The house is decorated so fun and cute with adorable colors and great artwork. The location is steps to an amazing beach, and even though it rained most of our week (forced us to stay inside and do more writing!) we did enjoy our walks when it was sunny. We brought all our food for the week and planned on cooking all our meals, but we did have trouble with the oven not working. When we notified the owners they sent someone out to look at it and while it wasn't an easy fix they did issue us a bit of a refund which was nice. The only small things we kind of struggled with were the TV was hard to figure out, there were multiple remotes and no instructions. Also the kitchen utensils and dishware could be updated, it was mostly cheap but we made it work. All in all we had a lovely stay!
The property was great, clean, and so dog friendly. We didn't realize it until we arrived, but the porch with the hot tub is fully enclosed, making it easy to enjoy the hot tub knowing our pup wouldn't try to run off to the beach without us. The beach access is so easy and short, and the beach itself beautiful. We will be back!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience! The house is darling, right on the beach and well-appointed ... lots of movies and games for rainy days. We luckily didn’t need them. I only wish we could have stayed longer.
The house was clean, bright and very comfortable for our stay.The only thing that we long for was some sort of small kitchen pantry for items that people may forget often when they travel. Luckily the store up on the highway is well-stocked and they had baking powder to save the day.
The house is perfectly located on a beautiful stretch of beach. Loved the interior. Kitchen cookware/utensils could be cleaner, but I find that to be the case at many rentals. The home was just the right size for our family of 5. We spent a day in Newport and a day in Florence renting ATVs near Oregon Dunes National Park. We loved our vacation and would stay again.
The house is in a good location, with a short walk to the beach. The house itself feels a bit worn and we couldn’t get the fan in one of the bedrooms to work (we had messaged them about it but didn’t hear back). The hot tub was nice to use, but it smelled strongly of chemicals and looked very worn. It was also very hot in the house. We were happy with the amount of space, the location, and how the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook. .
