About this property
Huge Ocean View with Semi-Private Beach Access
This unique open plan home has wonderful ocean views from all rooms with the exception of the laundry, master bath, and half bath. The upper story has seven large picture windows that look out on to the Pacific ocean. Whales are often seen as well as fishing boats and paragliders who launch from the cape. Deer are often seen crossing the dune between the house and ocean, along with a wide variety of birds. The hike/walk on the semi-private paths to the beach or cape is less than ten minutes, but does require hiking up and down some dunes. In the spring, summer, and fall, you will see the sun slip into the ocean at sunset.

The house was spacious and very clean, beds very comfortable. Was amazed at all of the dishes and utensils in the kitchen. The view was so peaceful and great for watching whales and the dories. Brian, the host, gave excellent instructions and information prior to the visit - we had no need to contact him during the stay.
Better than photos and very clean. Kitchen is very well appointed. We loved the location easily walkable to Kiwanda dunes. The trails behind the house were great. Loved being in the trees with a great view of ocean.
Brians place was perfect for our family of 5. The house was even better than the pictures described. We appreciated all the little details, like the artwork, the well equipped kitchen, towels for the dog, etc. We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
Simply spectacular! Amazing view, clean, spacious, quality furnishings, well-stocked kitchen with quality cookware, timely and helpful communication from the owner ... so many great things to say about this home/property and our experience. We really appreciated all the nice touches in this home. How wonderful that our foster dog was welcome to come along. It is obvious that the owners really care about their guests having a great time and being comfortable.
Wow! What a beautiful house and location! We had everything we needed, just as described and depicted. The beach access was great too. The climb up the dune was easy and straightforward. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Pacific City and the central coast.
Shh…don’t tell everyone it is the “Best place on the Oregon Coast” to stay. Let’s keep this “Pocket Oasis” a secret. Best views, most family & pet friendly place. We don’t want to stay any where else.
This is easily the best vacation rental we have ever stayed at. The kitchen was fully stocked, beautiful view of the coast, and the space was so clean. Truly a great stay and we would love to rebook in the future.
We have stayed at several homes in the area and this is one of the best. From the location to the amenities everything was top notch. Especially, appreciate the doggy details! Will be staying here again and highly recommend.
Great location; awesome view. We enjoyed the sunsets, walks on the beach, surrounding trails and treks to the quaint downtown Pacific City. It was a nice, relaxing place to spend with our dog at the beach. A lot of stairs up to the main level.
Perfect setting for Thanksgiving. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious. The dining room had a fantastic ocean view. Our family enjoyed hiking the dunes and cape.
Amazing. The place just had a positive energy. It was such a nice stay. Saw whales breaching from front room with natural sight. Saw a Sea Lion on the beach. Eagles in the trees. It was just nice, easy stay. Everything one would need. Our dogs had a good time and were wore out from the hikes. It was our 11 year wedding Anniversary a couple days before and this was a great way to end the week.

Brian is a software developer who grew up in the Pacific Northwest. Gloria works in finance and grew up in Cornwall, England. We have a Boxer named Zoe who wishes she could spend every day at the house on the Cape. Brian and Glo purchased this house from Herb and Bev in January of 2011.
Why they chose this property
Cape Kiwanda is a special place. The ocean views and wildlife are like nowhere else. Pacific City is also a great little town. The energy is good there.
What makes this property unique
We enjoy watching wildlife from the house, especially the whales and birds. Hiking the cape and walking the beaches with our dog is part of the daily routine. Enjoying a pint of IPA from the patio of the Pelican pub on a sunny day is also a favorite.
