About this property

Fun and Unforgettable Beach House Dog friendly with a Great Location

Summary:

The Sand Castle



The Space:

This Gleneden Beach vacation rental offers all the comforts of home for up to eight guests, with a few extra amenities to make your stay especially memorable! Gather around the unique wood-burning fireplace in the center of the living room, take a leisurely soak in the master bedroom's whirlpool tub, or stroll to the quiet beach. This cottage has an artsy vibe with pale wood walls and pops of blue and yellow, yet it's still cozy and homey without being pretentious. You'll love the hardwood laminate floors of the living area, crowned by a wood-burning fireplace, and with high ceilings and expansive windows overlooking the scenery. Guests can relax on the two comfy sofas while they watch the latest DVDs on the large TV, and kids of all ages can play a board game at the built-in table just off the living room. An additional gas fireplace offers even more heat on a cold coastal night.



The open floor plan allows easy access from the living room to the dining area. Six guests can enjoy their repast at the wooden dining table, and an additional three seats are on hand at the kitchen counter. Wooden cupboards hide plenty of dishes and pots and pans with which to cook, and the fridge is large enough to hold a plethora of snacks for the kids. No time for dishes? No worries, as the home includes a convenient dishwasher. The turquoise theme is continued on the upper level, which boasts two expansive bedrooms and one and a half baths. A queen bed, complete with floral coverlet, occupies the master suite, which also features pale wood walls, a large terrace, and a half bath. But it's the in-room jetted tub that catches the eye and offers the wow factor! The second bedroom boasts two double beds and a bathroom with a shower. A pull-out sofa offers room for two more guests, bringing the total accommodations to eight. Dogs are welcome here, too, though a nightly fee per dog and minimum fee per stay will apply. A washer and dryer will get that sand and grime off in no time, and the backyard offers plenty of space to play or dine at the colorful picnic tables.



What's nearby:

Situated on the Northern Oregon Coast just west of the Oregon Coast Highway, this colorful two-story, two-bedroom home offers a pleasing respite for anyone looking to get away from it all. A two-block tree-lined path takes you to a secluded stretch of Gleneden beach with its sandstone bluffs, sea lions, and adventurous surfers. Just keep the car at home, as parking is limited. The Northern Oregon Coast boasts many year-round attractions. Just five miles from Gleneden Beach is popular Lincoln City, home to two annual kite festivals in the summer and fall. If you'd rather stay close to home, Gleneden Beach State Recreation Site is a stone's throw away, offering sea lions galore on nearby Salesian Spit. Head to Salishan Resort & Spa for some tee time on the 18-hole golf course or a hot stone massage at the award-winning spa. Check out local art at the Lawrence Gallery in town. Kayak tours, as well as whale watching, fishing, and crabbing opportunities, abound at the various state parks in the area. Close to the beach, with a unique sense of style and a few special touches: this is one Oregon Coast vacation rental you won't soon forget!

Lazy Birthday at The Sand Castle

All in all a decent place for a lazy weekend at the beach. Having the beach outlet so close was wonderful so we didn’t have to drive. Would definitely stay again.

Sweet little A-frame

We had such a nice weekend here! The beach was beautiful and nearly deserted. The fireplace was super cozy and the kitchen had everything we needed for a weekend getaway from the city. We’d love to come back and stay again!

The property is very private, I loved everything about the place!

The home is very cozy, very private, and it's a little walk to the beach but still beautiful. I loved everything about this house and will definitely be going back sometime soon in the future. The house was absolutely perfect and our stay was very comfortable. 10/10 recommend!

It’s the cutest little house with a ton of character. Exactly what I was looking for!

We loved everything about the house. We all want to live there! If it comes up for sale I’d probably buy it.

Fun, funky house. Some improvements needed.

Loved the uniqueness and retro aspects of this property. In theory, this was a great place to stay and looked clean on the surface. However, the charm was a bit eroded by lack of reliable heating options, pet smells, and deep cleanliness. Easy check in, and a couple of restaurants were in walking distance.

Enjoy everything, centered around all the things to do.

Overall had a great time, only one bad experience on the beach with a guy that wouldn't leash his dog and wanted to fight my 65 year old husband.

Cute and cozy

This place was very cute, and perfect for our little family vacation! The only slightly downside to the house was the strong odor of dog inside (which makes sense as it is a dog friendly rental) Other than that small detail, we enjoyed our stay very much!

Gem in a seaside town

We have a large family. This house accommodated us perfect. It's super close to the beach, kitchen is nice size, outside seating front and back, the bbq was a nice touch. The only qualms were no light outback and cob webs were pretty bad all around.

Beach Vacay!

We loved The Sand Castle Vacation Home at Gleneden Beach! It was very clean and cozy, but there was room for 8 of us, 6 adults and 2 children. Everything we needed was supplied for us, and we felt very much at home and comfortable! We loved the unique shape of the home, and that it was pretty secluded in the trees. One of the best benes was, we could hear the Ocean from the house, and could walk down to the Beach without much trouble, as the Beach was only 2 blocks away, and it wasn't crowded at all!

Definitely worth it for the right price

The downstairs was cool.. Very open, I wish the big fire place was in working order, but other than that the sand castle definitely had personality. The stairs to get up to the bedrooms are steep and narrow ( I had no problem with them but I can see how others would ) and id bring your own blankets. Id stay here again for sure

So cozy!

This is our second time here and we always have a great time. We love the fireplace, privacy and amenities. The jetted tub is awesome and is so nice to be able to do laundry here. Thanks for letting us bring our English Bulldog, Leo. He loved the orange football! The only thing we couldn't find was kitchen trash bags, FYI.

Cozy Thanksgiving trip!

This was our first time staying here, and we had a wonderful time! The house is unique with the A-frame design and huge central fireplace. Well stocked with high quality toiletries, paper goods, laundry soap, etc. The location is a quiet pretty dead end street very close to beach. The only suggestion we would offer the owners is to install a motion light on the parking side of the house; wet gravel in the dark makes for a shaky walk to the entry door. All in all, we would definitely stay here again!

Great Location to the water

Home was nice and clean. Very close walk down to the water. With all the trees surrounding the home, it felt very secluded. (Which we loved!) Only reason I gave 4 stars is because it was VERY COLD when we arrived. NO heaters were on and it took hours to heat up.

Great location, comfy place to stay

There needs to be work done on this property such as around the back door, all around the shower, outside lighting so one can see the key pad. Very comfy place basically. The 2nd bedroom got very hot at night and fan didn't help. Our guest finally got one window open and that helped.

This place has a lot of potential, but unfortunately it's not well cared for. Cleaning was minimal -at best- and linens -including bedding and blankets are few.
