Escape to Oceanside

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The spectacular landscape of the Northern Oregon Coast awaits when you stay at this beautiful hand-crafted Oceanside vacation rental. With a superb location just a quarter-mile from the beach and breathtaking views of the coast from not one but two south-facing decks, this homey cabin infuses your vacation with a unique touch of the Pacific Northwest.

Tucked away in the quiet village of Oceanside, this home is perfect for anyone hoping to escape the crowds of Oregon's more popular coastal towns. Stroll down the hill to the broad, sandy beach, where you can explore tide pools, go kitesurfing, or marvel at the rugged terrain. For a change of pace, hike up to the lighthouse at Cape Meares, or head into nearby Tillamook for a tour of its world-famous Cheese Factory. (We recommend picking up some groceries while you're there - Oceanside only has a couple of restaurants and no markets.)

The house is built entirely from wood and boasts an unobstructed 15-mile view of the water and shoreline, along with two spacious decks for admiring the scenery. Inside, you'll find two separate sections: a main suite with two bedrooms and a loft, and a smaller studio with a private entrance. There's no TV, but you'll find plenty of books, speakers for your music, and free WiFi for checking your social media and chatting with friends back home. Both the main house and the studio also include their own kitchens with a stove, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, plus private access to their own deck.

Escape to Oceanside for an Oregon getaway you'll never forget. Book your reservation today!

*Please note that cell service is very poor in Oceanside, and will be a little better toward the road or much better in Netarts (two miles away). Please plan accordingly!

Tranquil get away!

Oceanside is a beautiful place! This house worked out perfectly because it had a studio like apartment in the basement for my son and his wife and then the main house had a loft and two other bedrooms, bath and laundry. There is no TV, but the views are so incredible, I didn’t mind. We were able to watch the blood moon eclipse from the two decks that overlook the ocean. There was a small repair that needed to be done, but it could have waited till after we left. I let management know and they immediately came over and fixed it. This house has a lot of beach charm and if you’re looking for an affordable space, it is a wonderful option!

Needs work

No central heating thermostat “not working”, no blinds on downstairs bedroom window, no hair dryer, no stove, only microwave convection unit. Made Papa Murphy’s pizza unfit to eat. No instructions on how to use microwave convection unit. View was great.

Definitely would return!

Beautiful wooden house with 2 levels. Awesome view of the Pacific. We visited Depoe Bay one day and Cannon Beach another. Just outside of Tillamook. Some stairs to navigate. Can be slippery when wet. Nice laundry and bathroom facilities. Two functional kitchens. Loved it!

Absolutely gorgeous view

We've been staying at this house for over 30 years and still love it. However, it could use a little sprucing up. It needs a new double mattress and a working microwave in the downstairs unit. And also for both units, bath towels that actually absorb water and instructions to the convection oven. Also better dish soap and a pot scrubber would be great. The overall cleanliness could be improved as well. But we will absolutely stay here again.

Great view!

House isn't brand new, it's a rustic experience, however it is functional and clean on the inside. However the view and proximity to the beach are tough to beat in Oceanside.

Oceanside Relaxation

This was a beautifulM getaway home, with a fabulous view, and many small conveniences to make it the perfect place to stay in Oceanside. There are two decks to do yoga on, while listening to the waves!

Worked great

I rented the house for the limited mobility access. There are a few steps, but once you entered the main level there is a room and a both on that floor. We didn't really feel comfortable using the convection oven (there were no instructions and no one had used one in the past) so we ran downstairs to use the oven in the apartment studio below. It was an unusual setup and was relatively comfortable. Yes the floors squeak, but I figure it was like a built in alarm system. All and all I nice quiet weekend if you wish to unplug from the real world. I would recommend this for a group couples weekend since there are two separately contained units in the one house.

Oceanside

The house had a great view and very short walk to the beach. The bathroom downstairs is very small but fine. The bbq was filthy and didn't work and there's no TV so we brought our own for the the kids. Just a warning though the floors are very squeaky so if you're a light sleeper don't sleep downstairs. Probably wouldn't rent this place again but we are older I think it would be a great place for younger people. They do supply ample necessities. Beautiful views and the two decks were awsome for relaxing..I would definitely book with Vacasa again they are extremely helpful

GREAT view, funky amenities

As usual, the view and privacy made up for a few deficiencies. The kitchen chairs are rickety and uncomfortable, but the couches are excellent. The natural light is outstanding. Light sleepers should beware of the squeaky floors. They still need curtains and more hooks/ shelves in the bedrooms.

House needs work

While the location had great views as promised it had not been cleaned. Beds were made, but the cooktop was greasy and contained dog hair salsa on the backsplash and wall mouse droppings and popcorn on the floors of the garbage cupboards and under the sink. Microwave had not been cleaned and the floors had not been swept, socks from the previous guest had been left on the floor. Would gave walked right back out the door had we had anywhere else to go Vacasa did have someone come and clean the next afternoon but by then we just wanted to get out of there. We are not first time travelers and probably would not have been so put off by this property if we had not always had great homes through vrbo in the past.

Rustic charmer in need of some updates

My overall rating would be 3.5 if that were an option. The house itself is beautiful and accommodating for the most part. As others have pointed out in there reviews there are some things that need fixing or replaced, but it doesn't look like there are plans to do that with how long ago some of those reviews were. The biggest offenders are the beds and pillows. They are all extremely hard and uncomfortable which prevented my entire party from getting a good night's sleep. There are a couple of windows that you shouldn't open as they are broken, these are the two closest to the stove. The availability of parking is a bit exaggerated. It's a tight squeeze to fit more than one small car in front of the house. Otherwise, the house was very accommodating.

Beach

We have stayed in the property 3or4 times. The property needs a lot of work done. The deck and porch have rotting boards . The oven and dishwasher aren't properly installed and the kitchen cabinets need To be refinished. We use to like to stay there but would have to look at other options.

Favorite but neglected

This has been a favorite place to stay in Oceanside. The home is warm and cozy, the view is perfect, and love the overall property. But it seems there has been little attention put back into this property for years. Rustic is fine, but neglected and verging on unsafe now is too much. We opened a window and thought we might not get it closed again before it may have been left hanging. Another window is duct taped in place. The railings are wobbly to the point we wonder if you could push them over. You can see daylight through holes that have rotted through the boards on the deck, and the deck shakes when someone is walking in the house itself. After having stayed in this property multiple times over the years we will not be booking here again in its current condition. It is a shame to see such a wonderful place so neglected. Please someone put some care back into this lovely property!

Very cute but old

Very cute and the view is to die for. The place was not clean at all; we found mice poop and dust everywhere. The place also needs a lot of renovating: things didn’t work, were leaking etc. We did love the coziness of the place.

The cabin was perfect! So beautiful and had a wonderful view. Make sure to bring some games because they really only had puzzles available! I just wish there was more food in the area. There are 2 restaurants and both of them are only okay.
