We have owned this home as a second house for 43 years. I live in Corvallis 1 1/2 hours away. It has never been a rental. Because of my husbands sudden death I don't use it like I did.
It sits 22 feet off the Yachats river, one walking block from the ocean.
There are eagles ,otters, beavers and birds of all kinds to enjoy. Also the river is great fun for kayaking, canoeing and just watching the wildlife. It is easy to canoe to the ocean from the boat launch. There are great agate and seasonal shell beaches one block away. There is a very old preserved covered bridge 7 miles up River Road, hiking paths everywhere and a light house 8 miles away. It is a beautiful coast line. There is crabbing off the dock or boat 7 miles on the Alsea Bay for rent.
There are beautiful sunsets and great winter storms. I personally love the storms and king tides. Really fun things wash up on the beaches and the waves are fantastic. I enjoy sharing this beautiful part of the earth that God has made.
