About this property

Ocean Views From Every Bedroom, Private Beach Access, Hot Tub, Game Room, WiFi


Centrally located on the Oregon Coast, ‘Dreamer by the Sea’ is easily accessible from many directions and close to larger popular coastal towns. It is located outside the city limits of the charming town of Waldport between two state parks on beautiful and never crowded, Wakonda Beach.
The two-story home has three bedrooms, two baths, two living areas, large kitchen and dining space, laundry room, game room and a lot of outdoor living opportunities. The only rooms without an ocean view are the bathrooms and laundry room! Everyone can enjoy looking out their bedroom window to ocean views! The views from this home are vast, from Cape Perpetua to Waldport!
On the exterior, you’ll find there is a privacy fence that provides a buffer between you and world. Also, on the property is a hot tub, private boulder stairs leading to a soft sand beach, charcoal grill, a private tucked away seating area along with additional seating options for taking in the gorgeous view! The beach is long and wide, especially so during low tide. In the summer, the beach has a great sand bar that traps water during low tide and provides a sometimes warm, shallow body of water for the little ones to play in and build sandcastles near. In the winter the waves are larger, most towns are quieter, and the temperatures are still moderate. In all seasons, the coastal wildlife is innumerable, the beach accessible and the views incredible!
Every sleeping room has window screens, pull down shades and black out curtains so that you can sleep as long as you want or take that midday nap! There are also hammocks in the converted garage/game room so that you can enjoy the ocean breezes while watching your favorite movie!

First Floor:
Here you’ll find the kitchen, dining, living room, laundry room, bathroom with shower, queen bedroom with an additional twin bed and twin trundle and game room. The game room is a converted garage that has heat, a smart TV, foosball, great views of the ocean and more!

Second Floor:
Living room, full bathroom with tub and shower, 2 queen bedrooms, one with a twin trundle and the other with a twin foldout bed, available for additional sleeping flexibility.

We reserve the right to change decorations, move furniture around or change bed configuration as long as it accommodates the same number of people comfortably. We will always try to post the most up to date pictures but if you are concerned about something specifically, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Great beach access and view!!

We enjoyed the beachfront property and beautiful view. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and was situated well for privacy with beach access just steps away. There was even a private bench for outdoor beach viewing situated in the hedge which provided some wind break. The hot tub was a nice place to unwind and star gaze. Would stay again!!

Great beachfront location

We stayed here in mid October. The beach was virtually empty, so it was like having the whole place to ourselves. The location is good, close to Waldport and also not far from Yachats. The kids enjoyed the hammocks in the game room (converted garage). There was plenty of room for 6 of us. The views are incredible, but the windows are likely impossible to keep clean from the ocean salt. Would definitely recommend this if you're looking for something on the beach!

Awesome stay

Our family of 8 had an amazing time at the property! The house is very well appointed and has lots of great amenities. It is clean and modern and well furnished. The teens really enjoyed the game room and foosball table. The location on the beach is spectacular! It was very clean, with lots of wildlife and very few people.

Stay'n Salty

The family had a wonderful time. A lot of time spent playing and roaming the beach, playing foosball, relaxing in the hot tub watching the sunset over the ocean. Could have not picked a better spot. If you are considering staying here, do! Would also highly recommend renting a crabbing boat from Dock of the Bay and catch some fresh Crab while in Waldport.

Best Home Rental Ever!!

This property was amazing and made for a perfect weekend! It's modern, very clean (I'm a germaphobe and it completely met my standards), with great views and just a few steps down to the beach. The star gazing from the hot tub was incredible. On top of that, there was great communication from the property owner. Next time we go to the coast I'm going to cross my fingers that this house is available.

Great location- our favorite place to stay

This was our second stay at Dreamer by the Sea. The house is wonderfully located just outside of Waldport, on Wakonda beach. It's very clean and nicely decorated. The upstairs family room is a great place to sit and watch the waves on rainy days. The bedrooms are large and beds are comfortable. We love that there is beach access from the property even though the steps are very steep. We're already making plans to come back.

Wonderful home with great views!

The house is wonderful with great touches everywhere. The furniture is comfy and the views are great. We loved the hot tub and how close we felt to the beach! The house has a lot of space and we loved the upstairs living area for cozying up at night to watch a movie. The only thing to note is that the beach access requires big steps on boulders and the dining table only seats 4. If you were a goup of 6, it would be tough to gather around a table to eat or play games. It worked great for our family of 3!

Little piece of Oregon Coast paradise!

This house was perfect for our family 'social distancing' get away. The kitchen had everything we needed as far as dishes, pots/pans, basic spices and necessities. The view of the beach from the common areas and upstairs bedroom was beautiful. The hot tub was cleaned and ready for use. Plenty of towels/linens/beach towels. The kids loved the hammock room... Very inventive! The clean-up/check out process was very reasonable. We had a hard time leaving this little piece of Oregon Coast paradise! Would we come back to this area and home? Absolutely! Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Another fun and lovely stay

This was our second time renting this property. Everything we liked about it we liked again - the house is large enough that everyone can spread out (we had four adults total), the view of the ocean is perfect and you can't beat watching the sunset from the hot tub. All the rooms have a view and the upstairs TV/sitting room is spacious, comfortable and has large windows to stare at the ocean or just let in all the natural light. We also love that the house isn't bordered by other homes - mostly - so, you feel you have more privacy than many other listings. The beach is never crowded and it's quiet. It's about a ten minute or less drive into Waldport/Yachats proper. The town is cute, progressive and has some wonderful food. Faves include Una, Yachats Brewing, Grand Central Pizza and Hilltop Bistro. Would stay again for sure! Also, as before we found the property owner responsive and delightful.

Really lovely with a few comments

Stunning beach. This property was overall fantastic and yet the main thing I wanted in renting this cute home, was to sit with my coffee in the morning in my bed downstairs, in the living room, or on the deck as my kids slept, with the advertised views to the ocean. All photos are deceiving in that, other than the upstairs sitting area, you can only see the beach by standing up. The overgrown hedge is over 5’ high and since the house is well above the beach, privacy would not be compromised had it been trimmed as in the photos. Even accesses to the beach and the bench were not trimmed as photographed. Seems like renting out at this rate could have warranted a quick hedge trim. Great privacy fence separating house from the road but traffic noise can be significant so may want to bring ear plugs for sleeping. Wonderfully appointed kitchen but no kettle so had to microwave water to avoid coffee taste of hot water through coffee maker. No dishrack was present. All mattresses were foam so if you don’t like firm beds be prepared. The rate seemed fair for the location and the interior decor was just wonderful. The plastic shower liner was therefore a surprise. Two screens were bent and didn’t work great. A smoke alarm was chirping our third night there so apparently batteries were not regularly changed. The host suggested we change it! Had to get up on a tall chair to do so as there was no ladder. Outdoor chairs are all plastic. Steps to the beach were discussed but FYI BIG.

Overall the place was everything you would need. Well stocked, comfortable, easy access to the beach. The three things that diminishes my review are as follows. The house is literally on the highway. If there wasn't a hedge/fence, you could spit on the highway while standing on the sidewalk against the house. Maybe I missed that in the description or didn't take it so literal. Sleeping was very difficult due to the road noise in the upstairs bedroom on the east side. Secondly, although there are "steps" to the beach, they really are just huge rocks that were set in such a way to be used as beach access. Very wonderful to be able to be right on the beach without dunes to hike over, but for older people and young ones, these rock steps are HUGE! Reviews and pictures are there to make people aware. The deck is a little bit in disrepair. There are a few rotton boards that if someone weighted enough, could possibly fall through. Be careful! The last thing is the fact that housekeeping doesn't clean the drains. The upstairs bath is very slow and the downstairs bathroom sink seems to have some linkage problems with the drain and is also very slow. Unfortunately, that is just gross to me and is common in all house rentals. it is slightly overpriced for these reasons, but it was clean and right on the beach. The description is accurate in my opinion. The host was available in a timely matter and we had a great week here. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely house!

Wonderful Coast Weekend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this ocean and beach-front property. Direct beach access and breathtaking ocean views, including unforgettable whale and sea lion sightings from the comfort of the family room, made this property truly special. The house itself is comfortable, featuring two family rooms, comfortable furniture and mattresses, and a kitchen stocked with the basics. The hot tub was a fantastic amenity. Though located on PCH for convenience, guests should be aware of highway noise, especially in the front bedroom (the two back bedrooms remain peacefully quiet and offer equally fantastic views). Bring charcoal and lighter fluid if you plan to use the grill, and a Bluetooth speaker if you want to stream music while you’re there. Waldport and Yachats are close by.

We loved our stay at The Dreamer By the Sea! It was the perfect space for our family of 5 and conveniently located to the lovely stretch of coast between Florence and Depoe Bay. The beach felt like our own private getaway and we saw whales spouting and surfacing every night our our windows. Teri was a fabulous host and was so responsive. The only very small negative was the proximity to the road. Traffic noise competed with the waves in the early morning and evening, but we got used to it quickly. Overall, a wonderful stay!

The view was great and the home was cute and cozy. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook. There was a great selection of tea and coffee that we enjoyed. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the hammocks and the parking was good. On the downside, the dining room table only fits 4 people, which made it a challenge to play games with all our family. The ants are a big issue and were all over in the cupboard we put our food in and on the counters. Which resulted in us have to throw food out. Behind the downstairs couch there is tons of dead ants. We noticed that when switching on the lamp. Although the beds are comfortable, the pillows are terrible. The upstairs bath/shower barely drains. The path to the beach was really over grown, luckily we had small trimmers with us to clean up the path so we could access the beach. The hot tub had a lot of sand in it and the temperature of the water was cooler than it should be and we were unable to adjust it. Next to the hot tub there is a large hole in the deck that one of our guests fell in and cut her leg. Very small amount of toilet paper in the home and we ran out half way through our trip. That was definitely an issue for us. Those types of essentials should be stocked enough for a guests stay. There is a lot of expectations that make it challenging to complete by checkout when trying to make breakfast, pack up and getting ready for the dayWe paid a lot of money for our stay and were disappointed.

Lovely Beach Getaway

We had a wonderful time at the beach house. The views and beach access were great and I also appreciated the beach themed decorations throughout the house. It was cute watching the bunnies in the yard every day and on our first day we got to see a bunch of "by-the-wind sailors" on the beach. The only issue is that there were some ants around the house, especially downstairs. But the owner was very responsive and immediately sent traps which helped. I do recommend that people check the hot tub to make sure that it is set to the desired temperature. It may be on a timer which may reduce the temperature. There was some noise from the highway in the back bedroom, but all of the rest of the rooms were able to enjoy the sound of the ocean. Overall it was a lovely house with fantastic views and we had a great time!

Beautiful quiet spot right on the beach

This property is well maintained, secluded, well located between Waldport and Yachats, and had lots of comfortable places to chill, all with incredible views of the ocean. The best part was being able to walk down to a largely empty beach. Only minor issue was ants in the kitchen, so just make sure to keep crumbs to a minimum and food bags secured. Otherwise, we look forward to being back here again!

Perfect house for all of us!!!

Three generations here that all love this house! There is room to spread out and have your own space or two family rooms and game room to hang out together- not to mention outdoors! Everyone enjoyed the views from their room, deck and hot tub. We had some germaphobes with us that didn’t have one bad thing to say- very clean and organized. Loved all the amenities the house had and the friendly host that helped us with a couple requests. We can’t say enough good things about our stay. We are already planning our next trip. Thank you!

If you only care about the view this is an ok stay

I have stayed on many places on the Oregon coast and this was not the best bang for my buck. I really wanted to enjoy this place because the pics online are so beautiful but they are deceiving. It’s much smaller than it looks online, not very cozy. There was an ant infestation all over the house. The smoke detector chirped the whole time so we went and purchased a battery just to find out the smoke detector was expired and the back door handle was rusted closed so my we spent our own money for that as well and my husbands time to fix it to be told there would be no compensation for that because she didn’t approve it. However I didn’t approve renting a home I was going to have to repair but here we are. The view was very pretty the steps to the beach aren’t safe. Overall a lot of deferred maintenance.
