Memories start here: miles of quiet, secluded sandy beach will transport your family or friends to vacation mode. Looking for a family escape? Beach adventure? Peace-filled retreat? Ocean Explorer and Gleneden Beach deliver on all fronts. Ocean soundscapes and all-embracing views greet you throughout, and your access to the beach is just a three-minute stroll out your front door. Enjoy wave watching from the two ocean-facing decks. The top deck sits immediately off the well-appointed kitchen that includes a gas stove. The bottom deck includes a picnic table, propane BBQ, and a private hot tub with an enviable sunset view.
This light-filled home encompasses three stories with a floorplan that allows both for privacy and for entertaining. Three bedrooms and the bonus queen Murphy bed suite accommodate eight people. You’ll find plenty of home entertainment options (4 flatscreen TVs, premium cable, ping pong table, movies, and lots of board games) as well as a beach cart, beach chairs, and kindling to get your beach bonfire started. (Note: please check with local fire alerts and guidelines). Grab a book or board game and cozy up to one of two gas fireplaces. Watch or join the locals surfing, fishing, crabbing, or agate hunting just steps away from your vacation paradise. Surfboard and kayak rentals are both nearby.
This quiet gem is nestled between Lincoln City and Depoe Bay, famous for whale watching. Within two miles, you’ll find several restaurants and brewpubs (including the farm-to-table Side Door Cafe) and a well-stocked market (with wine, beer, and organics). Other nearby activities offer something for everyone: an 18-hole golf course, Spa and aerial park (at Salishan resort), Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Gleneden Beach State Park, hiking and biking trails, sailing and fishing charters, whale watching excursions, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Chinook Winds Casino, numerous art galleries, fine dining, wine tasting, and outlet shopping. Ocean Explorer offers a peaceful retreat off the beaten path.

Such a beautiful place. The view is second to none and makes the stay incredible. I wish we'd stayed more than a weekend because we only saw one sunset there. Only very small complaint was the grill is no longer on the deck like in the listing pictures. I hope the owner updates that for future guests.

Thank you for the 5-star rating! We’re glad the view made your stay memorable. Sorry you only caught one sunset — all the more reason to come back and visit us soon! Thank you for noting the grill's absence; we are considering putting one out for the Summer season, but for now, we'll update the listing to remove the grill from photos. We’d be happy to host you again — come back soon!
This house was super nice! Everything was clean, the beds were comfy and the hot tub was delightful! Plus you cannot beat these views. I will absolutely be staying here again.

We loved our stay here. The house was clean, and had everything we could need. The hot tub was great, and the views couldn't be better! We were right next to the beach, so very easy access. Beds were comfortable. We would stay here again.

Property was clean and nice. Very close to the beach and it was easily accessible. The common areas were a little smaller than I thought they would be, but overall enough room for all 8 of us to have fun. Thanks for the stay!

Hi Sarah! Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so glad you had an enjoyable and comfortable stay. We loved hosting your group and hope you will book with us again!
We had a fabulous stay and would absolutely return. Beautiful views and beach access is a stone throw away. We had 8 of us, ages 6 through 73, and there were ample places to sleep and spread out. There is even a rollaway bed if needed. There were a couple hiccups (garbage pickup and out of propane) but the property manager responded immediately and the issues were quickly resolved. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Hi Abby! We are so glad you had an enjoyable and comfortable stay, but we are sorry you encountered a few issues. We loved hosting you and hope you will book with us again for another fantastic getaway!
The property was wonderful. My favorite part aside from the breathtaking view of the sunsets was the kitchen. So we'll stocked with any and every tool you could want/need.
Would love to stay here again!

Excellent beach access. Great view. Hot tub clean and room for 4. Soft beds, uncomfortable couch in living area. Seating in living area for 4. Narrow interior stairs - be careful. Picnic table and kitchen on different levels. Clean house.

Hi Saundra! We are so glad you enjoyed the view and excellent beach access. We appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with our property team. We loved hosting you and hope you will book with us again!
If for nothing else, the view is what made this stay so pleasant. Very nice house, split level with a Jacuzzi tub on a private deck facing the ocean. I would say this is more of a romantic getaway home that one for a family. highly recommend though.
It was a great place for us to stay. Close to the beach and we were able to watch a whale blow several times from the hot tub on the balcony. Plenty of house items to use. Lots of light switches that we couldn’t figure out what they were for. We loved it so much that we are planning our next trip.

Gorgeous location, small living room, lots of sleeping space
Gorgeous location, small living room, lots of sleeping space. Living room is 8' wide, smaller than the pictures look. Kitchen is very well stocked. 1 min walk to the beach.

Hi Emerald! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We loved hosting your getaway to the beautiful Oregon Coast and hope you will book with us again!
Property was great. Met all expectations. The broiler in the oven didn’t work nor did the lower level fireplace. Not a big issue for us but they need to be fixed.
We had a wonderful time staying at this house. It is clean, comfortable and made us feel right at home. Our favorite part was being in the hot tub and watching the sunsets. The views from the house of the ocean and listening to the surf made our vacation so memorable. We would love to come back and rent here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We couldn’t have asked for a better house or location. Donna

The house was extremely narrow. It does not fit 8 adults unless to sleep. You can not sit comfortably unless at dining table and couch. The stairs are very steep. The thermostat doesn’t work properly. Most windows do not open. The property is not pet friendly (which was a huge deciding factor on choosing a property to stay) as there is no place out front for them to relieve themselves and if you choose to take them out downstairs, you have to take them down additional flights of stairs to a muddy/sandy area with sticker bushes. There was sand on the floor when we walked in originally. Since the house was so small in the “main area” with it being combined with the tiny living room and eating area and kitchen and being so narrow with no place to sit and gather our weekend was basically ruined. It may work for others, but not for my family. The pictures in the ad make it look really open and large and that is why I chose it after hours of searching.
The house was very clean and so comfortable for everyone. Had ample supply of really nice soft blankets and extra pillows. All the beds were very comfortable. The heating system was so user friendly and there were fans for the more warm afternoons. The view of the ocean was beautiful. Sitting in the deck chairs drinking coffee in the morning was so wonderful! Soaking in the hot tub in the evening was very relaxing and it is a nice big hot tub. They even had special towels for the hot tub. So many other nice features like soaps, shampoo/conditioner, lots of toilet paper and Kleenex. The garage was always a comfortable temperature to play pingpong so the kids loved that. Lots of board games too. The fold out couch down stairs was bigger than we thought it would be and was comfortable. Also had an additional roll away bed which was unexpected and so nice to have. Great kitchen space with lots of utensils, plates, cups, and all kinds of things for cooking. Short walk to the beach, and was not heavily populated. Neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe. We even got to enjoy bunnies running around and picked some blackberries. Property management was so kind and made everything so user friendly. Highly recommend this property.
