This Gleneden Beach vacation rental offers all the comforts of home for up to eight guests, with a few extra amenities to make your stay especially memorable! Gather around the unique wood-burning fireplace in the center of the living room, take a leisurely soak in the master bedroom's whirlpool tub, or stroll to the quiet beach. This cottage has an artsy vibe with pale wood walls and pops of blue and yellow, yet it's still cozy and homey without being pretentious. You'll love the hardwood laminate floors of the living area, crowned by a wood-burning fireplace, and with high ceilings and expansive windows overlooking the scenery. Guests can relax on the two comfy sofas while they watch the latest DVDs on the large TV, and kids of all ages can play a board game at the built-in table just off the living room. An additional gas fireplace offers even more heat on a cold coastal night.

The open floor plan allows easy access from the living room to the dining area. Six guests can enjoy their repast at the wooden dining table, and an additional three seats are on hand at the kitchen counter. Wooden cupboards hide plenty of dishes and pots and pans with which to cook, and the fridge is large enough to hold a plethora of snacks for the kids. No time for dishes? No worries, as the home includes a convenient dishwasher. The turquoise theme is continued on the upper level, which boasts two expansive bedrooms and one and a half baths. A queen bed, complete with floral coverlet, occupies the master suite, which also features pale wood walls, a large terrace, and a half bath. But it's the in-room jetted tub that catches the eye and offers the wow factor! The second bedroom boasts two double beds and a bathroom with a shower. A pull-out sofa offers room for two more guests, bringing the total accommodations to eight. Dogs are welcome here, too, though a nightly fee per dog and minimum fee per stay will apply. A washer and dryer will get that sand and grime off in no time, and the backyard offers plenty of space to play or dine at the colorful picnic tables.

What's nearby:
Situated on the Northern Oregon Coast just west of the Oregon Coast Highway, this colorful two-story, two-bedroom home offers a pleasing respite for anyone looking to get away from it all. A two-block tree-lined path takes you to a secluded stretch of Gleneden beach with its sandstone bluffs, sea lions, and adventurous surfers. Just keep the car at home, as parking is limited. The Northern Oregon Coast boasts many year-round attractions. Just five miles from Gleneden Beach is popular Lincoln City, home to two annual kite festivals in the summer and fall. If you'd rather stay close to home, Gleneden Beach State Recreation Site is a stone's throw away, offering sea lions galore on nearby Salesian Spit. Head to Salishan Resort & Spa for some tee time on the 18-hole golf course or a hot stone massage at the award-winning spa. Check out local art at the Lawrence Gallery in town. Kayak tours, as well as whale watching, fishing, and crabbing opportunities, abound at the various state parks in the area. Close to the beach, with a unique sense of style and a few special touches: this is one Oregon Coast vacation rental you won't soon forget!

I rented this property for the amazing bathtub and was not disappointed! Place was cozy, dog friendly, and just 2 blocks to the beach. Kitchen had everything I needed for cooking. Lots of thoughtful touches. I will definitely come again!

Great dog friendly value
We loved the cute area around the home. Very private, and lots of space for the price. The jacuzzi tub was awesome and so was the down stairs gas fire place. The walk to the beach was only 2 blocks and beautiful. Nice fire pit outside of cabin and safe quiet neighborhood. Would book again.

Cute house, but a but needs a deep clean and updated furniture - but with the affordable price it...
I'm pretty go-with-the-flow so it wasn't a deal breaker for me, especially given that it was really affordable comparable to other places, but after first glance there were several jenky things about the house, holes in an ottoman's cover, lightbulb out, screen falling off a screen door, cobwebs and dried dog poo in the crate for doggy visitors. I probably wouldn't go back unless I was on a super tight budget and desperate to stay at the coast.

Fun, funky house. Some improvements needed.
Loved the uniqueness and retro aspects of this property. In theory, this was a great place to stay and looked clean on the surface. However, the charm was a bit eroded by lack of reliable heating options, pet smells, and deep cleanliness. Easy check in, and a couple of restaurants were in walking distance.

Adorable, quiet, pretty little aqua time capsule
If this is your vibe at all, I highly recommend. Was a little bummed that you can’t use the fireplace but the gas stove in the corner is great. Very dog friendly but beware the stairs, they are narrow and tiny. Easy walk to a cute little beach. Close to Depoe Bay, LC and Newport. We’ll be back for sure.

Definitely worth it for the right price
The downstairs was cool.. Very open, I wish the big fire place was in working order, but other than that the sand castle definitely had personality. The stairs to get up to the bedrooms are steep and narrow ( I had no problem with them but I can see how others would ) and id bring your own blankets. Id stay here again for sure

Quaint and cozy
This was an adorable little place! Lots of positives! The fireplace in the middle of the living room was such a cool feature. Was a little dark trying unlock the door at night, I couldn’t figure out the Wi-Fi and the stairs were narrow and steep but overall they added to the quirkiness. Was clean and access was easy with good communication.

The Sand Castle!
The hone is nice and relaxing. Fun times trying to get the gas furnace to light in the room. Everything there that anyone would need. The exhaust fan in the bottom restroom is a Beast. Nice and clean plenty of towels and stuff. Stairs are steep and carpet. Wife slip twice on them ( shaggy carpet) not cool.

Great location, would book again.
Very nice place, in a great location. Would definitely come back. Only complaints is the cob webs in the house need to be cleaned. Otherwise perfectly clean. Loved the fire pit and the fire place. Heads up tho, bring fire wood. It’s not provided.

So cozy!
This is our second time here and we always have a great time. We love the fireplace, privacy and amenities. The jetted tub is awesome and is so nice to be able to do laundry here. Thanks for letting us bring our English Bulldog, Leo. He loved the orange football! The only thing we couldn't find was kitchen trash bags, FYI.

Dirty,
This place is dirty, no screens on windows and lots of flies. Internet wasn’t any good in the place smell like fish. I thought it was coming from the freezer. Family said that it was dog pee. Lots of stains on the carpet. Very disappointed I would not recommend this to anybody.

Decent
The cabin was decent. Definitely like a cabin in the woods vibe. Sorta rustic. My complaint is the fire alarm was going off in the middle of the night multiple times. The WiFi went out and trying to find someone to help from Vacasa was absolutely ridiculous. All the info in their binder wasn’t correct and then they expected us to fix their problem instead of calling their local office and sending someone to help. Other than that the location was absolutely perfect and the beach near by was beautiful. The cabin’s kitchen was well stocked and so were the bathrooms. Definitely liked the stay not fond of the company running it.

Extremely loud furnace
I enjoyed about half my stay in this cabin. I love the layout and the large fireplace in the middle, and the setup with the TV and couches was nice. The kitchen has all the appliances and implements you could want. The main issue was the furnace/gas fireplace which is the only way to heat the downstairs area unless you have a wood fire. Upon arrival, the cabin was super super cold. It had snowed the day before and the heat was completely off. We turned on the downstairs furnace and the upstairs wall heaters. I had to pull comforters off the beds to use as blankets to bundle up because there were no blankets to be found anywhere. It took all night for the cabin to heat up. In the mean time, the furnace was so loud you can’t even hear the TV over it. It is so anxiety producing. at one point I was actually in tears because it was so jarring, not only was there a loud rattling sound the whole time, but when it started to wind down there was a very loud high pitched whine. I have videos of this. The only relief you can get from the furnace is to go upstairs (where the wall heaters didn’t heat up the rooms until 24 hours after arrival) or have a wood fire which would sometimes heat the cabin enough to where the furnace kicked off. I honestly felt kind of Shell-shocked by the end of the trip. I just wanted to relax with my knitting and watch a movie. :(

I won't soon forget this-worst rental experience ever!
My stay was 11/3/16-11/5/16. When we got to the street where the house is (by the very vague directions on the website), it was already dark. I had trouble finding the house because it is at the end of a driveway, and there are no numbers posted anywhere. I finally had to ask a neighbor with a flashlight for help. As soon as my headlights hit the house, I knew something was wrong. There were 2 ladders and tarps blocking the front sliding door entrance, and one propped up on the upstairs balcony. I went to the backdoor where the key was hidden, and saw multiple piles of trash, paint cans, buckets, tools, and other evidence that this house was being painted. What followed was about 10 back-and-forth calls to Vacasa to straighten this out the next day. They assured me that they would have the mess cleaned up, so we left for breakfast. Two hours later, we come back and find a truck parked in our driveway. The painter is there, PAINTING THE HOUSE. This was one giant problem, but not the only one. This house is a dump. The one source of heat downstairs, the gas fireplace, was so loud that we could barely talk over it. We turned it on for a few minutes to warm the house up, then shut it off to get some reprieve. It sounded like a chainsaw. The kitchen was filthy, with cobwebs and mold inside and out. The fridge has been painted white. How do I know? They left the drips running down the side to dry. The back door looks like a bear tried to claw it's way out. The crunchy turquoise carpet that the website is so proud of is a health hazard that gave my dog fleas. The staircase is not up to any building code-if you have young people, or old people, do not put them on this staircase. The treads do not accommodate your feet, and they are dangerously pitched. The blinds are broken, the lamp held together with duct tape, and my favorite "fix" of all time is the knuckle bandage used to deter you from flipping the switch on the wall for the internet. Yes, they put a knuckle bandage on their wall. It is so gross. The furniture is at weird angles, one couch facing the loud heater so that it blocks the heat from the rest of the room. There is a fireplace there, but not one piece of firewood like the website said there would be. I would never trust it to work anyway. The write-up on the house is super savvy, and the pictures do not look like this house, so do not be fooled. It is a nightmare at every turn. If I could have left the minute I pulled up, I would have.

Very fun location, needs some slight updates
It was a nice private location, close to a lot of fun attractions. The house was cozy and interesting. It's dog/pet friendly. We didn't bring our dog this year, but if we rent out this way again we will be bringing our dog next time. Cool place to stay.

Lovely, beach-side stay
Just what the title says! This home was delightful for our three-night stay. Steps away from the beach made walking along the ocean in the mornings and evenings easy. The location was great for cooking in one night and exploring the town on others. Recommend this stay for your Oregon Coast visit!

Great getaway to the beach
Wonderful home, walkable to the beach, cozy for our family of five. Well stocked kitchen in terms of cookware, but bring your own coffee/tea/sugar.
