About this property

Dramatic Ocean Views. Tidepools. Dog friendly!

Welcome to the Shipwreck House, where Oregon Coast history, rugged beauty, and unforgettable ocean views come together in a truly one-of-a kind retreat. The Glenesslin, whose proud portrait hangs above the fireplace, came aground on the rocky coastline near Nehalem, Oregon. Pieces of the reclaimed wood from that historic ship were thoughtfully incorporated into this home, giving Shipwreck House its name and its enduring character. Like the weathered driftwood that washes ashore nearby, this rustic home embraces the anuthentic charm of the coast with a warm, well-loved feel that reflects its remarkable story.

Perched on a bluff just south of the charming village of Yachats, Shipwreck House offers sweeping views of the rocks, tide pools, and Pacific behond. Watch for harbor seals, seabirds, and crashing surf from the comfort of the living room, where expansive west-facing windows, a spacious dining area, kitchen, and breakfast nook create the perfect gathering place.

A wood-burning fireplace makes cozy evenings even more inviting. Upstairs from the living room, you'll find two queen bedrooms and a shared bath. A second staircase leads to a light-filled sitting room with panoramic views north and west, including the twinkling lights of Yachats after dark. THis space features two slpeeper sofas, a flat-screen TV , and connects to a king bedroom with a shared bathroom. Back on the main level, the primary suite offers peaceful southern views and an ensuite bath, while an additional bedroom with two twin beds is tucked just beside it.

Just minutes from Cape Perpetua and Heceta Head Lighthouse, Shipwreck House is perfectly situated for exploring the Central Oregon coast. After a day of adventure, enjoy the ping pong table, shuggleboard, board games, and the timeless experience of staying in a home that's every bit as memorable as the landscape surrounding it.

Sleeps up to 8 – 4 bedrooms, 2 kings (both can be separated in to 2 twin beds - with prior notice), 2 queen beds, 3 queen sleeper sofas, 3 baths.

A great place to watch the migrating whales. Saw dozens of spouts, and glimpses of the big, beautiful mammals from the back yard of rental. Says it sleeps 8, and it means 8 adults (full-sized beds, not make-shift cramped quarters). Spacious sleeping and gathering areas. Several bed/suite areas for privacy. Plenty of towels, TP, paper towels. Everything you need in the way of kitchen appliances, dishes and utensils to prepare meals. Deck area was closed for use, so bring your deck/camp chairs (sidewalk area and some flat areas in back yard to sit). Great price for this ocean-front, historic rental. Would highly recommend and will be back. Management was excellent to work with, very timely with responses. Pups loved taking trail down to beach.

Relaxation

My husband and I needed a break from planting so we went to the coast for a little relaxation. This was a great spot for exploring tide pools and watching the right waves crash. The house was in a great location close to amenities and very clean. We were able to bring two of our dogs and they had a great time. Thank you.

Lovely and inviting

We had a little issue when first attempting to use the key code but the property managers answered right away and helped us navigate the issue. The house was huge and very inviting.

Toss Up

This house sits on one of the most spectacular points on a famously beautiful coastline. You couldn’t ask for a more scenic location. The downside was this 90 year old house, while full of charm and character, is very beat up. I think the list of deferred maintenance is longer than the list of features.

Quirky and relaxing

Great location! It was somewhat isolated, but still very close to many sights such as Thor's Well, Cape Perpetua, etc. The house was set up so as to allow us to be together when we wanted to be, but gave us the option of having some privacy as needed. The view from the house is amazing! We had a front row seat to many of the oceans moods (stormy, sunny, foggy, clear). It was all we asked for and more. Definitely a "quirky" house. You will never see another just like it!

House needs updating

The views were awesome, but the house really needs some updates. The road to the house has a large pot hole, so be aware. The house is quirky and we never used the downstairs, it was dark and smelled mildewy. Owner should really update the future in the main living room, so you can all enjoy the sunset views.

Pre-Thanksgiving at the Shipwreck House

Two families of 4 - 4 seniors with 4 adult 'children' - so having 5 bedrooms (one with a King split into 2 Twins) perfectly accommodated our group. We received excellent support for a slow-to-warm furnace on the night of the 'Bomb Cyclone' - personal delivery of 3 portable heaters in addition to 2 on-site. After the 1st night, all was well with the furnace (a 4-night stay). We had all the kitchen supplies we could have wanted except for measuring cups - only a 1/2 cup measuring cup. It was an awesome venue, with immediate ocean access, and familiar venues / beaches nearby. Great follow-up on the heating issue (text messages - very reassurring). We'd definitely book again.

Family Vacation

We liked the uniqueness of the home however found several things that were not great. Pretty big ant problem in the kitchen, many doors didn't latch closed, windows we were told to close and lock didn't even have a knob to close them let alone lock them. The soaking tub that was in the listing was gone which was pretty disappointing. Electric outlets are in desperate need of updating. The views and agate hunting out front were amazing though!
