About the host

Hosted by Ted Gibson

Host profile image
I designed and built the house with my father. I'm not an architect but I think I did a pretty good job on the design considering all the rules with rivers, creeks, roads, height restrictions, etc. I live here full time unless the house is rented and then I venture out in my motor home. The problem with the motor home, there are very few places, even in Oregon, that are prettier than right here so I tend to look for new and unique places.

Why they chose this property

So private and cozy. Before I bought this property, I wanted to build on the coast but I'm so glad I'm here instead. The weather is better, there is much more wildlife to view, fishing is great, the dogs love it and no crowds of beachcombers to bother you. But we are very close to one of the prettiest views of the entire Oregon coast (maybe in the entire nation - no joke) at the Neahakanie turnouts on Hwy 101 jusgt two miles north of Manzanita, not to mention one of the best beaches is at Manzanita.

What makes this property unique

So much to see and do on the Oregon coast and this house is in the perfect spot to venture from. If you are into Antiquing - go to Wheeler; golfing - Manzanita or the famous Gearhart Golf Links 30 miles north; beach combing - Manzanita, Oswald West, or Cannon Beach; hiking - first suggestion might be Neahakanie mountain, 2 miles, 900ft elevation, to the most fantastic view of the coast; shopping - Cannon Beach, kid stuff - Seaside. OK you get the idea - so much to do here.

Some of the wildlife we view regularly right off the deck: eagles, river otters, beavers, elk, deer, raccoons, sea lions and lots of birds like great blue herons, kingfishers, comorants, ducks, red tail hawks, osprey, and of course many species of seagulls. And this is actually pretty rare but I've twice seen our resident albino/white deer in the field across the road. Maybe you will be lucky if you take a look early in the morning. She's easy to spot if she's there.

Venture out on our two person kayak (be sure to wear a life vest) or go for a bike ride on one of the two bikes available (be sure to wear a helmet). Trout fishing right off the bank starts in May and the famous Chinook salmon run starts about August (it's up to the fish when they decide to come thru) and runs thru October. Steelhead fishing is very good a little further up the north fork of the Nehalem river. Steelhead is a winter sport - December thru February - but steelhead is "THE" prize fish to catch not to mention it taste really good. Be sure to check the rules and get a license. Razor Clamming is another famous Oregon past time just about 25 miles north at Del Rey beach just north of Seaside. And yes you can drive on that beach, north for miles actually. You need a really low tide and a clam shovel or clam gun (there are two on the propery) and of couse a fishing license.

Call me if you need any directions or suggestions on things to see or do.
