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!

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.

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

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.

Beach Vacay!
We loved The Sand Castle Vacation Home at Gleneden Beach! It was very clean and cozy, but there was room for 8 of us, 6 adults and 2 children. Everything we needed was supplied for us, and we felt very much at home and comfortable! We loved the unique shape of the home, and that it was pretty secluded in the trees. One of the best benes was, we could hear the Ocean from the house, and could walk down to the Beach without much trouble, as the Beach was only 2 blocks away, and it wasn't crowded at all!

We had a wonderful memorial weekend getaway. Grandma, Mom and 2 kids.
The place is very cute and quaint. First impression was awesome. I was sensitive to the leftover wood in the large wood fireplace, but adjusted well. Entire place was clean--don't understand other reviews in against-its a cute older place and was clean! We didn't bring a dog and didn't smell dog (and I have a sensitive nose) just smelled the fireplace. Stairs are very small and steep BUT the railing is incredibly secure. Grandma had no problems with a bad hip getting up. We would love to come back and stay again with other family. The beach access was perfect, short blocks path to a 1 block road walk to the access point. All in all this is such a stinking cute house and was a great FIRST A-frame experience for us.

This place was very cute, and perfect for our little family vacation! The only slightly downside to the house was the strong odor of dog inside (which makes sense as it is a dog friendly rental) Other than that small detail, we enjoyed our stay very much!

Perfect getaway
Loved the house. The fireplace was great. Gas fireplace kept us warm after the fire went out. Close to the beach. Found lots of treasures. Whirlpool bath tub waS amazing. Only downside was: 1. The door code they sent didn't work...but I called and they promptly gave another that did. 2. Not a good washer or dryer..clothes were soaking wet..had to spin em 3 times..took the dryer 3 times also to dry ( it waS a small load). Oh and 3. Wifi n cable went out when the storm came in. We will book again...had so much fun. Very relaxing

Beach trip 2021
This is a really cute cabin but it needs some serious overall updating and repairs. The heating system is not working properly (gas stove) didn’t seem to turn up or down. The kitchen windows were very covered with cobwebs and moss on the outside. When we first arrived there were empty beer cans on the counter and a dirty dishrag on the sink. This prompted me to send all the dishes through the dish washer to sanitize them, but there was no dish washer soap. During this covid pandemic cleanliness should be a top priority.

Gross,l
House was charming enough. I’m sure the house keeper did their best under the circumstances, but the place stank. Dog pee smells everywhere. Stains. Disgusting baseboard. My baby is crawling and it was difficult to allow him to. Next time, no dog friendly places for us. Stairs are extremely steep and narrow for feet. All bedrooms are upstairs, so that means taking suitcases up. Abs hard for seniors. Very cute home though, and nice walk to the beach. Just wish it could be updated with new carpet, paint, and power washing the cobwebs on the outside of the windows and siding.

NEVER AGAIN DONT USE VACASA THEY ARE THE WORST MOST UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY.
We arrived at 3:50 as check in time was 4:00pm. Cleaning lady arrived at 4 to START CLEANING!! WE had to wait until 630pm before we could get into this dirty place. The cleaning lady said she could skip some stuff if we wanted. CERTAINLY NOT with COVID. WE CALLED and talked to 4 yes 4 supervisors who promised to call us back and never did...the property manager Jack never called us once. We had to sweep, mop and wipe down everything as it was left filthy. I have pictures if anyone wants them. Management didn't care. This almost ruined our vacation and everything we wanted to do. Again Management didn't care or want to hear about it. There was dishes left in the dishwasher, garbage left outside, nothing was vacuumed we did that ourselves. This company is the worst for caring about their renters. The dirty sheets with who knows what bodily fluids ON THEM WERE left on the KITCHEN TABLE. we traveled 8 hours and 534 miles and Management didn't care as we didn't receive any call backs.

Unplug here
This was the 2nd time we have stayed here. We live this cabin-like home so much!! We unplug here, ignore our phones and bring firewood, wine and books. We read snuggled up by the fire and when desired, we ventured to our favorite spots in Lincoln city and Newport. The master tub is amazing and if this home ever went up for sale, we would snap it up!! This home is in a quiet wooded neighborhood and feels much like a cabin in the woods....while still being an easy drive to beaches, Mos and shopping. As frontline nurses, we were in desperate need for a break from the public and this home was perfection. Thank you for having us, we will be back very soon!!

Great Location to the water
Home was nice and clean. Very close walk down to the water. With all the trees surrounding the home, it felt very secluded. (Which we loved!) Only reason I gave 4 stars is because it was VERY COLD when we arrived. NO heaters were on and it took hours to heat up.

As cute as it looks
This house is even cuter than the pictures make it out to be. The bottom floor has a nice floor plan and good layout. The kitchen is cozy, but can fit three people who are comfortable sharing a kitchen. The stairs are narrower than modern stairs up to the top floor, so pack bags that will be easy to navigate on steps. You can hear the ocean from the house at night, and the home is nice and secluded. You won't be able to see the ocean from this place, but it is a short walk to get down to the beach. A great place to stay for the price!

Unplugged Weekend at the beach
My husband and I just returned from an unplugged weekend at the beach. We had an excellent time at this house. Pros: tub is amazing, house is in a quiet and somewhat secluded feeling neighborhood. Bed was comfortable. Indoor fireplace was lovely. Quiet Location was perfect for our needs. Cons: house was freezing upon arrival, primary heat source is 1 gas fireplace, 2 ineffective cadet heaters, and the fireplace. Bed had 1 thin comforter and 1 thin fleece blanket.....in total it sent us rushing back out to Bimart on black friday for blankets (no spare in house) and firewood. It took overnight for the house to truly warm up. Once warmed, it held pretty good. Advance notice or someone prewarming the place in the winter months would have been nice. Window in the downstairs bathroom leaks cold air badly. As mentioned above, stairs are very small and narrow...making trips up and down nervous. If you are a drinking sort....stay up or stay down! Noone with any disability should stay here. Having said that, the pros outweighed the cons for us. We felt alittle like we were camping, the interior lends to this cabin feeling. And we loved that. That plus the peaceful location, the tub and the price will definitely have us rebooking in the future. We will just bring wood and more blankets next time!!

There needs to be work done on this property such as around the back door, all around the shower, outside lighting so one can see the key pad. Very comfy place basically. The 2nd bedroom got very hot at night and fan didn't help. Our guest finally got one window open and that helped.

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.
