About this property

Huge Ocean View with Semi-Private Beach Access

This unique open plan home has wonderful ocean views from all rooms with the exception of the laundry, master bath, and half bath. The upper story has seven large picture windows that look out on to the Pacific ocean. Whales are often seen as well as fishing boats and paragliders who launch from the cape. Deer are often seen crossing the dune between the house and ocean, along with a wide variety of birds. The hike/walk on the semi-private paths to the beach or cape is less than ten minutes, but does require hiking up and down some dunes. In the spring, summer, and fall, you will see the sun slip into the ocean at sunset.

Beautiful & Comfortable Getaway

Great location; awesome view. We enjoyed the sunsets, walks on the beach, surrounding trails and treks to the quaint downtown Pacific City. It was a nice, relaxing place to spend with our dog at the beach. A lot of stairs up to the main level.

Wonderful holiday

The house is clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. Plus I could go on and on about the spectacular view. The ocean waves framed by typical PNW greenery were perfect. We would definitely stay again.

The best stay in Pacific City

We had the best vacation. The house is beautiful with breath taking views. The kitchen was a cook's dream and we made some amazing meals there. The beach and Cape Kiwanda was a great experience. We will be back next year!

Amazing rental

The views are stunning, Brian is communicative and very hospitable, and the property was quiet. We would love to stay again. The house was clean and it was everything we wanted for a week long get away from the city. Thank you and hope to see you again in the future. I highly recommend staying here.

Great views and a great house!

Overall a wonderful property. Yes, lots of stairs but totally worth it for the upstairs view. We had plenty of space for hanging out. The kitchen was fully stocked so we cooked a few times. The walk to the beach and dune shouldnt be attempted if you have any mobility issues but we didnt mind the exercise and if you want to drive down to the main beach by the brewery is is just a short distance. We had a fantastic time and and would definitely stay again.

Great beach setting

House was very comfortable. Lucked out on the weather and the deck was perfect. Sunsets were fantastic. Although a bit of an exercise to reach the beach (need to get to the gym), the dunes and beach on both sides were wonderful. Would book again if available. Thank you to the host. You have a beautiful beach house.

Refreshing & Relaxing

The house was clean, uncluttered and deserves every bit a 5-star rating. Truly exceptional! The kitchen was well-appointed in every way.The beds were comfortable and the linen was cosy & soft. The jacuzzi spa was an added treat after a long hike. Thank You Brian for allowing us to enjoy your lovely home. We will look forward to returning

Beautiful. Well appointed House

Thanks Brian for a great stay. The view is fantastic, the furniture so comfortable and I enjoyed seeing your personal serve ware in the kitchen. Everythingi s very high end. My son especially enjoyed the binoculars and telescope. He spent a long time on the deck last night. It's generous of you to share those items. Thanks again. Also loved the electric vehicle charger.

Rained In

We came to the area for some fishing and whale watching, but due to the weather, all our outdoor activities were canceled. Lucky for us, we were "rained in" at this lovely property. It was more than enjoyable just to sit and look out the window all day! The view is spectacular. We did not cook in the kitchen - going out for dinner gave us something to do and there were some great places to eat - but it certainly appeared well stocked, and there's plenty of room for preparation and dining. The house was very clean, and I'm very picky! Everything was as described in other reviews - excellent. Brian sent all pertinent information before we arrived, and there were no surprises. We are hoping to come back some day!

Amazing. The place just had a positive energy. It was such a nice stay. Saw whales breaching from front room with natural sight. Saw a Sea Lion on the beach. Eagles in the trees. It was just nice, easy stay. Everything one would need. Our dogs had a good time and were wore out from the hikes. It was our 11 year wedding Anniversary a couple days before and this was a great way to end the week.

Absolutely no complaints!

Beautiful property with ocean views. Lots of space could easily see living there. Well stocked kitchen! Comfy king size beds. Just a short hike to the beach, Cape Kiwanda and the “Rock” never got old seeing that. Highly recommend staying at this place. Brian is definitely a “super host”

Beautiful Oregon Coast

What a beautiful place. A lovely home, gorgeous views and a spectacular beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable. The several windows overlooking the ocean, beach and the woods were a pleasure. We walked on the beach each morning and seldom saw anyone else. It could not have been a nicer stay. We'd love to come back. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Brian Vandehey

Host profile image
Brian is a software developer who grew up in the Pacific Northwest. Gloria works in finance and grew up in Cornwall, England. We have a Boxer named Zoe who wishes she could spend every day at the house on the Cape. Brian and Glo purchased this house from Herb and Bev in January of 2011.

Why they chose this property

Cape Kiwanda is a special place. The ocean views and wildlife are like nowhere else. Pacific City is also a great little town. The energy is good there.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy watching wildlife from the house, especially the whales and birds. Hiking the cape and walking the beaches with our dog is part of the daily routine. Enjoying a pint of IPA from the patio of the Pelican pub on a sunny day is also a favorite.
