Memories start here: miles of quiet, secluded sandy beach will transport your family or friends to vacation mode. Looking for a family escape? Beach adventure? Peace-filled retreat? Ocean Explorer and Gleneden Beach deliver on all fronts. Ocean soundscapes and all-embracing views greet you throughout, and your access to the beach is just a three-minute stroll out your front door. Enjoy wave watching from the two ocean-facing decks. The top deck sits immediately off the well-appointed kitchen that includes a gas stove. The bottom deck includes a picnic table, propane BBQ, and a private hot tub with an enviable sunset view.
This light-filled home encompasses three stories with a floorplan that allows both for privacy and for entertaining. Three bedrooms and the bonus queen Murphy bed suite accommodate eight people. You’ll find plenty of home entertainment options (4 flatscreen TVs, premium cable, ping pong table, movies, and lots of board games) as well as a beach cart, beach chairs, and kindling to get your beach bonfire started. (Note: please check with local fire alerts and guidelines). Grab a book or board game and cozy up to one of two gas fireplaces. Watch or join the locals surfing, fishing, crabbing, or agate hunting just steps away from your vacation paradise. Surfboard and kayak rentals are both nearby.
This quiet gem is nestled between Lincoln City and Depoe Bay, famous for whale watching. Within two miles, you’ll find several restaurants and brewpubs (including the farm-to-table Side Door Cafe) and a well-stocked market (with wine, beer, and organics). Other nearby activities offer something for everyone: an 18-hole golf course, Spa and aerial park (at Salishan resort), Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Gleneden Beach State Park, hiking and biking trails, sailing and fishing charters, whale watching excursions, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Chinook Winds Casino, numerous art galleries, fine dining, wine tasting, and outlet shopping.

Wonderful location with amazing views and an easy walk down to the beach. We loved the hot tub, the kitchen was very well appointed with a gas stove, parking was easy, and the water pressure was great. We absolutely loved our three nights here and would stay again.A few things to be aware of: the house could use a good deep cleaning, and there are quite a few knickknacks/fans that collect dust, so it may not be the best option for anyone with asthma or significant dust sensitivities. There are also two sets of steep, carpeted stairs and the house is on a hill. The beds were a little soft and springy, but perfectly fine for a three-night stay. Overall, the location and views made this a great getaway.

Thank you for the review and for highlighting the views, easy beach access, well-equipped kitchen, convenient parking, and strong water pressure.
I appreciate the notes about cleaning and dust on decorative items and fans — I’ll share this with our housekeeping team so we can schedule a deeper clean and reduce dust-collecting items to better accommodate guests with respiratory sensitivities.
Thanks again for your feedback; we would be glad to welcome you back any time.
Gorgeous location. We were able to enjoy beach.House was very clean. The angle of the photos made the living room look bigger than it was. Television was not working. Amazing family memories made. Thank you!

Thank you for staying and for sharing your thoughts. I'm so glad you had a great stay and made lasting family memories. I appreciate you calling out the cleanliness, too. I’m so sorry the television didn’t work during your visit—thank you for letting us know. We have arranged for the TV to be inspected and repaired by our maintenance team. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again.
This was our third visit to this property over the past six years. The erosion mitigation activity on the adjoining lot appears to have been at least temporarily paused. During our last visit, during working hours, we had heavy equipment, moving gigantic, boulders and other rip-rap materials onto and out of the adjoining lot to protect the cliffs along the shore. This property is well protected, but many of the other properties in this area have been seriously threatened by rising ocean levels.The property itself is wonderful, but it would be good to know ahead of time whether the heavy equipment activities have been resumed.

Thank you so much for returning for a third visit! I'm glad you had a great stay.
We do monitor activity on the neighboring lot and try to post updates when significant work is scheduled. Beachfront conditions and mitigation efforts can change over time, so we appreciate you raising this and will continue to share any known work schedules or planned interruptions with upcoming reservations.
We hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
This house was super nice! Everything was clean, the beds were comfy and the hot tub was delightful! Plus you cannot beat these views. I will absolutely be staying here again.

We loved our stay here. The house was clean, and had everything we could need. The hot tub was great, and the views couldn't be better! We were right next to the beach, so very easy access. Beds were comfortable. We would stay here again.

Such a beautiful place. The view is second to none and makes the stay incredible. I wish we'd stayed more than a weekend because we only saw one sunset there. Only very small complaint was the grill is no longer on the deck like in the listing pictures. I hope the owner updates that for future guests.

Thank you for the 5-star rating! We’re glad the view made your stay memorable. Sorry you only caught one sunset — all the more reason to come back and visit us soon! Thank you for noting the grill's absence; we are considering putting one out for the Summer season, but for now, we'll update the listing to remove the grill from photos. We’d be happy to host you again — come back soon!
We had a fabulous stay! The view was amazing and it was a short, easy walk to the beach. Four bathrooms was great! Loved the ping pong table in the garage. The beds were comfortable…even the Murphy bed! Kitchen was stocked with every pan, dish & utensil you can imagine. Only thing to consider are the stairs. This is a 3 level home. One bedroom upstairs, main floor with family room, kitchen and 1/2 bath, and three bedrooms downstairs.

The house is beautiful and in a private location with easy beach access. We had three couples and two dogs with us and all of us were comfortable and in awe of the property. I highly recommend staying here!

Property was clean and nice. Very close to the beach and it was easily accessible. The common areas were a little smaller than I thought they would be, but overall enough room for all 8 of us to have fun. Thanks for the stay!

Would love to stay here again!

Thank you for your 5-star review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We agree ... the sunset views are hard to beat! We loved hosting you, and hope you will return!
We had a fabulous stay and would absolutely return. Beautiful views and beach access is a stone throw away. We had 8 of us, ages 6 through 73, and there were ample places to sleep and spread out. There is even a rollaway bed if needed. There were a couple hiccups (garbage pickup and out of propane) but the property manager responded immediately and the issues were quickly resolved. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Hi Abby! We are so glad you had an enjoyable and comfortable stay, but we are sorry you encountered a few issues. We loved hosting you and hope you will book with us again for another fantastic getaway!
Awesome location, property was as described. Really beautiful setting and great amenities! Only "negatives" were no sugar for tea and the router/internet access. The wifi and ethernet would disconnect the tv's and our devices after a couple minutes. Power cycled modem and router a few times and we would lose internet access within a few minutes each time. Googled the modem and I guess it is a common problem with that particular spectrum router. Only an inconvenience at night when settling in for bed.

We do not provide perishable kitchen items to our renters, but absolutely will get the internet repaired. We are working on replacing all of the equipment so that it's very reliable moving forward. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this caused during your stay.
If there’s anything else we could have done to earn five stars, please message us through the Vrbo app; we’d really appreciate the feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Gorgeous location, small living room, lots of sleeping space

Hi Emerald! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We loved hosting your getaway to the beautiful Oregon Coast and hope you will book with us again!
It was a great place for us to stay. Close to the beach and we were able to watch a whale blow several times from the hot tub on the balcony. Plenty of house items to use. Lots of light switches that we couldn’t figure out what they were for. We loved it so much that we are planning our next trip.

Hi Imelda! Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so glad you had an enjoyable and memorable stay. We can't wait to welcome you back!
If for nothing else, the view is what made this stay so pleasant. Very nice house, split level with a Jacuzzi tub on a private deck facing the ocean. I would say this is more of a romantic getaway home that one for a family. highly recommend though.
