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.

Great stay!

This is easily the best vacation rental we have ever stayed at. The kitchen was fully stocked, beautiful view of the coast, and the space was so clean. Truly a great stay and we would love to rebook in the future.

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!

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.

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.

Beautiful home with a great view. You get lots of exercise on the dunes. There are a lot of stairs in the house so be prepared for that. The house is clean and well equipped. You will enjoy your stay. Plus you might get lucky and see whales like we did.

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.

Spacious and dog friendly!

We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful beach house for the weekend! The house was everything we could have hoped for, very spacious, all updated, amazing view. Perfect for our group with the dog too. Bit of a hike up and down to the beach but the almost private beach once you get there is worth it. Brian was very quick to answer all our questions and was overall a great host! We would definitely stay here again!

A couple friends, my dog and I stayed for almost a week. Incredible view, very nice, well stocked with everything we needed (including dog bowls, bed, etc). Vigorous, but fantansitic walk to and from the beach. Quiet and convenient location. May be my all time favorite rental on the Oregon Coast.

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.

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.
