About this property
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.
The small town of Waldport is an excellent location to base all of your central coast explorations from. Guests of this home also have access to the Bayshore swimming pool on a daily fee basis. The swimming pool (open seasonally in the summer) schedule of swim times will be posted at pool entrance. Renters must provide their rental agreement and photo identification to gain access. Access may be restricted during busy times.

Great stay! Very easy access to the beach with the dogs. Very low population on the beach, so the dogs had a good time. Lipstick on a pig, but it didn't matter to us, still a very nice layout and TV. Loved the stay, no major issues. Would go again
We had a great stay! The property is very comfortable and the location on the beach is as excellent. We recommend!

Great place! Very clean with comfortable beds, a large hot tub and a well-stocked kitchen. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay on the coast with the oceanfront location! Thank you, we will be back!

Our family had a wonderful week at Whimsical Dunes in Waldport. House was a perfect layout for our family of four and our small dog. Great location close to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, horseback riding near Florence, Cape Perpetua hikes, and local restaurants in Waldport and Yachats. The hot tub was great on cool mornings, and the walk to the beach is just steps from the door!! The EV charger was a fantastic resource for exploring the coast. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking in and cozy nights playing games. Highly recommend.

Couldn’t have been happier with our stay.My partner and I stayed over 2 nights to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful time. The private beach access and hot tub were highlights for us. The property felt like a home away from home.

Wonderfully quiet. The short walk to the beach surrounded by grassy dunes was lovely. Internet didn't work but that made the peace that much more special.

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.

Thank you so much for the review Jay. We are so happy to hear your group enjoyed your time in this wonderful home. With beach access being within steps from this amazing home, beachcombing has never been easier. And what better to come home to after a long day of exploring than a semi private ocean view hot tub. We hope to host you again soon.
All the best,
The Sweet Homes Team
The property was amazing. We were not impressed with any of the local restaurants but this house has everything you need to just cook there. Loved every minute of our stay.

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.

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!
