About this property

2 Blocks To The Beach, Recently Restored & Pet-friendly

Enjoy this fully restored classic beach house in a quiet Seaside neighborhood. Two short blocks to the beach, the Ocean House features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, plus two other sleeping areas to comfortably accommodate up to nine friends or family members. It's warm and cozy with a high efficiency furnace plus new electric fireplace. You’ll find queen beds in the master bedroom and second bedroom and two single beds in the third bedroom. For your enjoyment after days on the beach, the house features a media room with new 50'' flat screen LED TV with Apple TV and Netflix for movie nights.

The house is fully restored in salvage fir & pine wood and it features a new kitchen and bathrooms as well as a new heating system, natural latex mattresses, and eco-friendly building materials for exceptional indoor air quality and comfort. This spacious, light-filled house is ideal as a retreat space, for family gatherings, or anytime the ocean beckons.

Centrally located in a quiet neighborhood just off the southern side of Seaside’s historic oceanside Promenade, the house is ideal for beach time, nearby golf, surfing at “the Cove,” and hiking Tillamook Head. For family fun, just a half mile away is Seaside’s famous Broadway Street of souvenir shops, bumper cars, cafes, and arcades.

We loved this house. It was in a great location with lots of room. Everything worked great and there were lots of everything in the house. I highly recommend this house for groups of 6 or even a with a couple of children. The only problem was that the bathrooms had no grab bars for disabled.

We really enjoyed this house, 2 blocks from the promenade. The beds and couches were comfortable and the 2.5 bathrooms were great for our 8 adults. Two of our adult kids were on a “working” vacations and they were able to use one end of the house for their office space.

Family Vacation

This home worked perfectly for me and my sibling’s family. We had plenty of space to come together or space out if needed. We were also pleasantly surprised with the quiet neighborhood and proximity to the beach. It gave me a new appreciation for Seaside, Oregon.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Kent

Host profile image
We're a beach-loving Portland-based family with three kids (ages 17, 13, and 9) plus a German shepherd and young French bulldog. We love to hike Tillamook Head and run on the beach. Our kids boogie board and are learning to surf. Our experience restoring two 1907 houses in southeast Portland inspired our work on the Ocean House and, in particular, our commitment to making sure that our guests enjoy a healthy, creative space.

Why they chose this property

After nearly two decades of visiting the north Oregon coast, we came upon the beach house in summer 2013. It hadn't been significantly worked on since the 1950s and we were inspired to purchase it and restore it with the goal of creating a long-term family retreat. We're excited to be able to share it with friends, family, and our VRBO guests.
