This home is built directly on a sand dune that leads to the beach. During winter storms the sand can quickly drift and accumulate around the property sometimes affecting the ocean view. Although we make every effort to remove the sand and preserve the view prior to your stay, the winter weather makes this difficult to predict and views may not be guaranteed.
Occupancy rules are strictly enforced and apply to the entire property during the stay. Additional day-use guests may be allowed with management pre-approval. After your booking is confirmed, you will be sent the full rental contract and terms.
The safety of our staff, guests and local community is our top priority. This home is professionally managed and cleaned to strict standards in line with CDC guidelines, including supervised housekeeping and post-clean sanitation.

If the house is fully rebooked by another renter, cancellation charges (less $35) will be refunded. Reservation cancellation fee is $35. (If you book with a 3rd party, different charges may apply).
If I had read the other reviews before booking I probably wouldn’t have booked this. I’m glad I did. It was very homey. Kids loved the bunk beds, and the porch that we can close so our younger kids could play outside. Being able to walk right onto the beach was amazing. Customer service was amazing, got us checked in 1hr 1/2 early! We will definitely book here again ! Thank you
I DO NOT RECOMMEND RENTING THIS PROPERTY. This home is right on the beach so the location could not be better. The home is sadly neglected, in poor condition and a very poor value for what it rents for. The interior hasn’t been painted in decades, cob webs all over, the beds all are saggy and bothered our backs. The windows in the master bedroom are completely frosted so you can’t see out, and there was NO place to hang anything in that room. We enjoyed our time at the beach and would NEVER rent this property again. It also makes me suspect about the rental agent.
This about the fourth year the Ryder family has used this house. The configuration is perfect for our 3 families. The huge increase in price is not warranted or appreciated.
We were prepared for a funky beach house. What we were not prepared for was being transferred to the property management company and a completely separate contract including a 3 percent fee for using a credit card. We wrote a check. We had to go to the property management company for pepper, laundry detergent., and a variety of other items. This was not up to the standard that we have come to expect with VRBO rentals. Otherwise we enjoyed the fantastic view and the wood stove. We will return to Pacific City and not this unit.
Overall, it worked for our quick getaway and let our extended family make memories on the beach! If you expect better than camping accommodations then you’ll be ok with the house, no frills! It’s old, the floors are brick and rough, the windows could be power washed, the furniture is just good enough, it’s clean enough but there are cobwebs. The porch is great to hang out on because the house blocks most the wind. The beach is right outside, so enjoy it in the sand or in the main living space.
Great location, quiet neighborhood, friendly people! We loved our stay!
Incredible view and beach access. You can’t beat this location on the beach. Sunset directly over haystack rock from the living room was incredible! Going north is an easy walk to the brewery and sand hill. Going south is miles of beach littered with sand dollars. Pup enjoyed morning walks on a near empty beach and afternoon play time with neighbors. Waves for boogie boarding were gentle, but fun. Open floor plan allowed visiting during dinner prep. Kitchen had everything we needed including spices. Appliances and decor are dated, but functional except for the dishwasher. When we reported the issue, we were told that a replacement was already on order. Plenty of room for friends and family to join for a day or the whole week.
The views from this house were spectacular. Being right on the beach in a gated community was perfect for our family adventure over the weekend. Pet friendly was a bonus. The bed in the master was very comfortable. Will be back for sure!
Besides having no information about how to check-in provided and needing to contact the office to get instructions, the office staff was friendly. We read the reviews of this property prior to arriving & still decided to stay, but won't again. Our first impression was the wall of foggy windows that faced the ocean. 2nd impression was the half-empty energy drink left by someone before us. Maybe the cleaning crew? We noticed the kitchen cupboard ajar & realized the hinge was broken preventing the door from staying closed. Exploring the rooms, there was a red can cap sitting in the middle of the master floor. No idea what that was from. Master windows are too foggy to see through & the curtains are just scary, not to mention all the cobwebs draped throughout the corners of the room. There was mold in the shower & we were forced to look at a disgusting toilet bowl brush when using the restroom. Ample towels were provided & a set of sheets were left in the dryer. The check-out instructions ask us to start a load of towels in the washer before leaving, which is fine, unless you can't open the lid enough to get stuff in there due to being too close to the wall. The stove was dirty, there was food left in the sink drain, the kitchen cabinets were sticky, & there was an inch of dust all over the DVD player. The window below the TV won't close & the wall of windows needs to be rid of mold & mildew, not to mention re-sealed. This property group needs to hire a house cleaner who actually cares about their job, & they should have it deep cleaned while they're at it. Cobwebs on the shelving above the stove in the kitchen and in most corners throughout the house. There are gross red (rust?) drip stains on the wall in the loft above the master bed, & obvious ruts in the master king mattress. The floor is made of bricks that aren't secure in many places. This place needs some serious attention. So much so that I wasn't even interested in using their cooking equipment, although we would have used the coffee maker had there been coffee filters. Extremely unimpressed & glad I brought slippers so my feet didn't have to touch the floors. We had hoped some of the previous reviews had been addressed before we arrived, but it really is a dirty house in disrepair. If we were to buy it, we'd tear it down & start over. It's a shame. Fool us once, but we won’t be fooled again.
The house is in need of some TLC like others have mentioned. We loved the location. The view was amazing. Having the beach as your backyard is the best part of this house. The not so great, the beds all had dips that made sleeping not really comfortable. One bathroom didn’t have hot water. The facet in the kitchen leaks if you don’t get it in just the right position. The dishwasher rack needs a wheel replaced to make loading dishes easier. We had a great time. We were two families on vacation together and would stay at this house again.
