Why the Owner Chose Smith River
This site is so spectacular we were hooked as soon as we saw it! The cabin is so close to the ocean that everyone that visits is amazed at its proximity. The view from the living room and deck of the ocean are just special. The sound of the surf and the pounding waves on the rocks below make this very mesmerizing. In addition to the rocks and beach area in front of the cabin, there are miles of sandy beach to enjoy walks, beachcombing, tidepools to the north and south. So you have the best of ocean, surf, rocks and beach to enjoy.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Sea life and tidepools, relaxing, walking on the beach, riding bicycles up the Winchuck River or north or south on Ocean View Drive, searching for the perfect rock or seashell and watching sunsets are a few of the things we enjoy from what we think is the perfect location. Saturday's we like the Farmer's Market in Harbor, Oregon, especially when they have kettle corn!! Winter brings roaring surf and pounding storms which hit our cabin first, as we are ocean front and center. We stay warm and cozy while watching and listening to the amazing display.
Right on the Pacific Ocean! View and access to the beach doesn't get any better than this. Come and enjoy a break from the routine.
Owner's Map of Smith River
We both grew up on the coast and enjoy the beautiful Pacific Ocean. We can hardly believe we now own a beach house of our own which we can share with others. The views are spectacular and the sunsets breathtaking--we always stop and watch the sunset.
