About this property

Moonstruck Mermaid Fenced Yard Pet Friendly Ocean View Hot Tub Wifi Prem Cable

We are centrally located to visit Yachats and Newport. Come visit the beach and rejuvenate!!! Ocean views, a woodstove, and our new Hot Tub with rainbow LED lights provide a truly relaxing beach getaway. We have close beach access and one of the best sandy beaches for beachcombing.
The Moonstruck Mermaid is owned by two artists who come to the home frequently to get inspiration for their glass and quilt art. You will see examples of their art throughout the house. The home has hardwood and ceramic tile flooring with cedar ceilings and walls throughout. As soon as you walk thru the door into the gathering room of the home your shoulders will feel lighter. The Moonstruck Mermaid has both a living room and a gathering room with game table. Our guests have enjoyed being able to watch a movie in one room and listen to music in the other. We provide HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and On Demand for those evenings when it feels so good to just kick back and be entertained. The gathering room has a cedar cathedral ceiling with three skylights; you can watch the moon travel across the evening sky thru the skylights. There is a wall mounted 50' HDTV with DVD player. This room also has a full size sleeper sofa that will comfortably sleep two, two leather recliners and a game table. Further there is a wet bar fully stocked with glassware, cocktail shakers, ice bucket, etc. Also there is a half bath off this room and an outside courtyard with morning sun.

There is a pass thru from this room into the newly remodeled kitchen with a JennAir convection range. There is even a crock pot to simmer a winter stew whilst you are on adventures during the day. The ocean view dining room will comfortably seat six. The living room also has a cedar cathedral ceiling, fabulous ocean view, woodstove, a 50' flat screen with DVD player and opens onto the expansive ocean view glassed in deck. The ocean view master bedroom has a queen pillowtop bed, large closet, 37 ' flat screen HDTV and also opens onto the deck conveniently close to the hot tub. The ocean view second bedroom also has a queen wrought iron canopy bed with handmade mermaid quilt. The large main bathroom has a bathtub/shower combination. The glass tile countertop and knobs in the bath were created by the owners. And finally, there is a utility room with washer and dryer.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of the Moonstruck Mermaid are all the outside relaxing areas. The lavender and herb garden are quite unique so close to the ocean. There is a seating area in the lavender garden with a dazzling ocean view and glass tile mosaic bench. There is a second lavender side garden with seating and ocean view. The expansive glassed in deck on the west and south side of the house are where the four person hot tub resides. The deck also has a private area for moon bathing after getting out of the hot tub. The deck furniture is comfortable and will seat four people.

The back yard is securely fenced for your pets. Our pet guests have enjoyed this feature.

2nd time staying here. First time just my wife and two goldens in December. This time, the two of us, the 2 goldens, sister in law, daughter and 4 year old grand daughter. The house was perfect both times, during two very different seasons on the coast. Easy walk to beach. House was very clean, and easy to hang out, prepare meals, and visit. Fenced yard a big plus

We have stayed at the Mermaid five or six times before and it never disappoints. We appreciate that the owners are dog friendly and supply sheets to keep the furniture safe from the furry friends. We will return again.

Stormy Coast Getaway

This house was superb! The space is brimming with artwork. The mermaid theme is throughout but not too much. There is plenty of space for various activities. I prefer the ocean view by the fire. It was especially great to have a safe yard for the dogs. We will come back for sure!

Crazy Weather

The house was Magnificent! Unfortunately, we ended up in Waldport on one of the craziest weather weekends we have ever experienced on the Oregon Coast. Crazy high waves, wind, wind, wind. So, we went and bought some fire wood at the grocery stored and hunkered down. Definitely will be back.

Great Vacation Rental

We had a really nice stay at the Moonstruck Mermaid. The home is clean and comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood. It was really great to have a fenced yard for our dogs. The walk to the beach was easy with two access points nearby. We loved all the quilting and stained glass art to admire. We hope to return again someday.

Rick and Debra found The Moonstruck Mermaid in 1998 and have been gradually transforming it into the relaxing home it has become.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Bayshore has one of the best beaches in the area for beachcombing. Standing on the beach where the Alsea River meets the ocean is always interesing....seals and sea lions sometimes congregate. When the tides are really low; there are even tidepools in front of our home.
