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.

The house is fantastic. Very clean and nicely furnished. All three bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. The view from the top deck is beautiful. We even had an eagle perch in the tree during one sunset. Be aware there are a number of stairs that could be challenging for those with mobility issues. I can’t say enough good things about Brian and his communication during booking and the check in process. A truly exceptional experience.

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.
Gorgeous sunset!

This is one of the nicest VBRO’s we’ve rented! The house was extremely clean and very well stocked and maintained. It’s perched on the hillside with an easy walk down to the beach and a nice workout getting home. ; )We had great communication from our host!

The house is even better than the pictures! Nice view of the ocean and trees behind the house. Nice deck to sit out and watch the ocean and sunsets. The house is immaculate. The kitchen is very well supplied. The beds are comfortable. Showers are great . . . Lots of water pressure. Great tub with a view . . . Unfortunately, we were not able to use the tub because the drain stopper was broken. Brian said he would have it fixed. There were many board games to play. Plenty of towels and blankets. And, there are restaurants nearby. The only disappointment was that the trail to the beach behind the house was not an easy hike. I hiked half way and turned back. We opted to drive to a local beach. But, other than that the house is amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Vandehey

Host profile image
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.
