About this property

Secluded Coast Retreat with Ocean-View Hot Tub & Stargazing

Wild Coast Lookout sits perched on the shoulder of an ancient sea stack, offering exceptional privacy and sweeping views of the Oregon coast. From this dramatic vantage point, hawks and owls are often seen gliding through the trees that surround the property. In the evening, soak in the hot tub while listening to the rhythmic sound of ocean waves, and on clear nights the dark coastal skies reveal a spectacular canopy of stars overhead.

The Lookout is just a few minutes' walk from Turtle Rock Beach and a quick drive to some of the Pacific Northwest’s most spectacular beachcombing shores. Despite its secluded feel, the home is conveniently located just five minutes from the town of Gold Beach, where you’ll find great restaurants, groceries, and other services.

The forested hillside provides a quiet and peaceful setting. The nearest neighbor is a small cottage you pass near the end of the driveway, but great care has been taken to ensure privacy throughout the property. From the deck and lawn, the land opens westward to dramatic coastal views. Wildlife is a regular part of the experience here—deer, raccoons, hawks, owls, quail, and hummingbirds are frequently seen on the property. On most nights you’ll fall asleep to the sound of the surf and a chorus of frogs rising from the estuary and pastures below.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire one-acre property, including a large ocean-view hot tub, outdoor shower, sun deck, lawn, and terraced garden. Inside the home, all spaces are available for guest use except for one small storage closet where cleaning supplies are kept.

The owners of Wild Coast Lookout live in Alaska for much of the year, but our local team lives nearby to assist if needed. Please feel free to reach out to me, Alison, by call or text anytime during your stay. My number is listed in the Wild Coast Welcome Manual. I will also connect with you shortly before your arrival to introduce myself and ensure you have all the information you need for a smooth check-in.

While most guests love the Lookout’s secluded and dramatic setting, it may not be suitable for families with young children (approximately ages 2–8). Access to the sleeping loft is via ladder-style steps, and there are steep, unfenced downhill slopes on three sides of the property.

Absolutely stunning property perched on a small bluff overlooking Hunter Creek, with a fantastic private hot tub and fire pit. The interior steampunk-like design of this renovated property is equally exquisite. Wonderful hosts!

What a great little place! Very uniquely decorated with an artists touch. Beds were cozy and owners have provided everything needed for a relaxing stay. If there is one complaint, it would be the portable ice maker did not create enough ice for one let alone 4, so simply buy a bag if needed. Would love to stay there again!

September visit

We spent one week at this incredible home above the ocean in Gold Beach. It was absolutely beautiful in every way ! We really appreciated the artsy home with interesting things everywhere. The outdoor shower with hot water was lovely. We enjoyed the hot tub daily and BBQ. Really nice washer & dryer so we could enjoy clean towels. The kitchen is super well stocked with pots, pans ,dishes, appliances etc…( even spices) so we made dinner every night. We were blessed with gorgeous weather to top off a wonderful stay in Gold Beach.

Unique home with priceless views!

Privacy, hot tub, and a view! This home checked all my vacation requirements and more! Fully equipped with all the things you’d need and thoughtfully decorated to keep your eyes hunting for treasures all throughout your stay. There is one home next door but wild coast lookout offers a variety of privacy solutions for that and we felt very much alone at the top of this hillside. Wonderful home, wonderful views, wonderful stay. We most definitely plan on staying here again and couldn’t recommend it enough :)

Fabulous Gold Beach home

What a fun home! This is a super place to enjoy the outdoors. We totally enjoyed the views from the hot tub, fire pit & outdoor bar area. We were there in June and the weather was perfect. The decor is amazing and hard to imagine how they planned to make a small place so well stocked. Very comfortable for just my husband and I. The ladder stairs to the upper bedroom are very sturdy , the ceiling is low but the views from the windows there terrific. The area is gorgeous everywhere you look on the coast. The Arch Rock viewpoint not to be missed. Had great dinner at Spinners in town and yummy Mexican at Tortuga’s at the bottom of the hill. Would definitely go back if in the area- Communication with management was excellent- thank you!

Charming cabin across the street from ocean

What a gem! The exterior of the home is beautiful. I was a little thrown off by the neighbor being so close (shared driveway) but there weren't any issues. The home smelled of evergreen and had views from every room. It was very clean, warm and inviting. The property host opened the window and turned on the lights for our arrival. The attention to detail was immaculate. The bed was comfy, the hot tub is a nice touch and if we are ever in the area again we would definitely stay here.

Disappointing Inaccurate Description

You barely hear ocean waves over traffic roar from Highway 101, screaming kids, barking dogs, & thundering motorcycles in the RV park immediately below, and the outdoor restaurant with loud drinkers. It’s all a unique dramatic view between the property and the Ocean! Turtle Rock is an RV park of several acres right below property. Getting to the beach means walking at least ½ mile down the driveway, then through the RV park to the beach. The “estuary” is a mostly dried up Hunter Creek heavily laden with masses of dead algae and little flowing water, not a true estuary with tidal influence. At night we were lulled to sleep by 101 traffic noise, drowning the barely perceptible crash of ocean waves, especially punctuated by highway truck jake brakes. Sunday morning coffee was to the beat of a tractor back-up alarm in the lumberyard below. In the hot tub, it’s possible to see the ocean beyond the highway if you stand up or sit on the sides, a cold experience when wet. Vegetation not cut short enough to see much while sitting in tub. When we had difficulty with the BBQ to cook our fresh fish, the owners said we could just go eat at a local restaurant instead of helping us. The kitchen is limited to a two-burner hot plate and a countertop air-frier for cooking. This location with its REAL ambiance compares to other locations at much less per day than we were charged! It is NOT a romantic, ocean view as a back to nature place to stay. Very disappointed!!!

Great place for a getaway!

My wife and I stayed two nights here and loved it. The house was spacious, well-appointed and immaculate. The property was big and felt very private. Hot tub was also very clean. Highly recommend hiking Humbug Mountain to the north. If planning on cooking or grilling, would also recommend stocking up on cooking supplies in Brookings as they had far more selection than the local stores. All in all, a great place for a getaway. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Alison Dunlap

Host profile image
We are Alison & John Dunlap, residents of Sitka, Alaska. We're glad to welcome you to our little home away from home.

We continue to live in Alaska, working spring through fall running wildlife sightseeing and photography cruises. And now it turns out – as all our children and their spouses have returned to Sitka to raise their families - we still are only able to be in this beautiful place for a few months each winter. We still have not seen our little place in the summer! We deeply appreciate and have enjoyed having guests here at Wild Coast Lookout and hope you enjoy our vision of this place that will still, one day be our home.

Why they chose this property

In the winter of 2009, on a road trip from San Francisco to Seattle, we fell in love with this beautiful stretch of the Oregon coast. We just could not stop thinking about the beauty of it, and the following winter, we gathered all the savings we could muster, and returned to find a spot that might one day become our home. That search led us to discover this piece of property – then, a small electrical shop perched on the edge of an ancient sea stack, with a fine view of the coast and river below.

What makes this property unique

Wild Coast Lookout is a labor of love, shaped over many years through winter trips and careful planning. Each year, we add a little at a time—working on one area at a time, creating artistic touches both inside and out, and gradually converting the existing carport into the bedroom and bathroom. Our goal has always been to craft a private, welcoming retreat filled with sunshine and personality. As travelers ourselves, we know the little things that make a stay special, and we’ve incorporated thoughtful details throughout our property.
