Map & Owner's Profile
Yachats Zen Beach Retreat
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Yachats
This house is so unique - the design, craftsmanship and feel of the place immediately drew me to it. I also knew the owners because they also owned businesses in Yachats that I had been to and enjoyed. Ocean beaches have always been special to me - and Yachats is my favorite place on the Oregon Coast - and it's only 2 hours from Eugene where I live. So when this came up for sale - I snatched it up.
Everyone that stays here recognizes the special qualities of the Zen Beach Retreat House - usually guests feel very relaxed and excited at the same time to be in such an unusual, high quality home - without the high price.
The Unique Benefits at this House
For less than the cost of a typical coastal hotel room one gets:
- A fully outfitted kitchen so you can cook for yourself and avoid the expense of eating out.
- A two-person Japenese soaking tub in a beautiful spa bathroom.
- A sauna.
- Beautiful Asian wood craftsmanship and design touches throught the house.
- Two different sleeping areas with great separation of space.
- A beautiful meditation garden and deck.
- Access to a beautiful, wide, sandy beach that goes on for miles - with few people on it.

What luck to find this on the Internet. We love the Zen Beach House. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are lovely. I can't stop admiring the window over the kitchen sink. We enjoyed the tub every night and will miss it when we leave tomorrow. We did not venture far away - walked on the beach, reading, knitting, meditating and photo shopping. All needs are met. Thank you.

Well - What a wonderful surprise to walk through the door and find such a perfectly appointed West-East place to retreat. Being from the Big Island of Hawaii I have a tendency to believe that all venues will pale in comparison. How great to be proved wrong.

Spent four great nights here on a 'arts/music/meditation' retreat. Brought my keyboard for composing, Soraya brought her camera and watercolors. Between extended morning and evening meditation sessions, we worked on our art and music and got out for some nice hikes. Major chill out from my life as a high-school teacher (spring break).

Absolutely fabulous place to detoxify from everyday stress. Felt like home instantly. The sauna is key! Lots of work put into this house. We'll be back. Thanks so much.

The house becomes home so effortlessly. We love the many beautiful touches and the easy comfort. Outside angry storms gave way to sunshine and a great orange sunset. Yachats has long been our favorite place on the Oregon Coast and the quiet retreat this house provides makes it even more special. We hope to return. PS - Our big old Newfie mix Toby thanks you for being welcoming to him. He was a model guest.
