Yachats, Oregon
Sweet Homes Vacation Getaways brings you The Zen House, is a peaceful beach retreat in Yachats. This is a romantic, zen, one-of-a-kind home with easy, safe access to a gorgeous sandy beach. This home has a lovely living/dining area, unique furniture and decor, and an upper deck with ocean views filtered through trees. Relax and refresh in the Asian bath and spa room, which is equipped with a cedar sauna, a two-person Japanese soaking tub, and glass brick shower which juts out into the garden to capture the morning sun which filters through the surrounding greenery, offering a hint of nature while you shower. Wake up in the morning and wander in your private garden or sit and listen to the sounds of the ocean and the birds. Or, perhaps later you'll sip tea, coffee, or wine on the upstairs deck while listening to the waves and looking at the ocean. This home offers an abundance of options for relaxing and having fun, both inside and outside. If you are feeling more energetic, stroll two minutes away to a beautiful, wide, sandy beach that goes on for miles. This two bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home has a great layout. The primary bedroom is on the second floor of the main house; the second bedroom is a detached bedroom above the garage and has a King bed along with a private entrance. A second story deck connects the primary bedroom and the studio apartment, providing both great privacy and separation, but also connectivity when desired. There is a second bathroom with a shower in the garage below the second bedroom. Also in the garage, entertainment can be found with a pool table, shuffleboard and television! Be our guest and enjoy the wonderful ambiance of this Asian-style retreat home. This is definitely a one-of-a-kind experience, that will complement your special vacation, honeymoon, or family getaway.

Property was easy to find and easy to access with lock code and check in process (had to wait until the next day, Wi-Fi was down). Noticed main rug was stained as were areas on the couch. A few spatulas in the kitchen ware had dried-on food crusties. Had to clean before using. Being in our early 60's, I would have liked a handrail on the 1st three steps before the stairway turned 90° to continue up to the bedroom. I would have enjoyed a TV (for the rainy days) in the main living room. Beach was close enough, about a block and a 1/2 away. Enjoyed the large tub and used the sauna, which felt great. Shower was interesting. Worked fine, except the concrete floor was a little rough on tender feet! Looked like there was a spiral pattern of half sunk rocks in the concrete. The rocks were removed and left egg-sized divets. Didn't feel too good when the ball of your foot engaged in these holes. The night before we left, we washed our dirty clothes in the washer. When the cycle was over, the removed clothes were caked with sand. Had to clean out the washer and rewash the clothes. Got about 1/2 a Frisbee of sand out of the washer. Obviously, the previous tenant didn't shake the sand out of their clothes before washing and the washer had lots of sand that was never cleaned out. Never utilized the shuffleboard or the pool table, but did explore the whole home. I know I've pointed out a few negatives, but all in all, we enjoyed our stay. The wood stove was nice.
The house was great - close to the beach, and also a retreat itself, with a deep soaking tub and a sweet backyard, not to mention the cedar sauna, and glass-walled shower. The sunporch connecting the two bedrooms was a good space for hanging out. We're already ready to be back next year!
The location is fantastic and the bath is always enjoyable. Just a couple of issues if you’re staying in the summer months. Both bedrooms have high windows that do not have blinds which means you’re up with the sun. Also, the main bedroom in the loft area does not have windows that open and it actually gets pretty hot up there even when the temp outside is in the 60s.
This little adorable house was perfect for our family. The separate apartment for the kids was great for them to get their own area. The main bathroom was OUTSTANDING for relaxing after a long day of taking in the beach and visiting the surrounding areas. We highly recommend this place. Thank again for making our vacation so relaxing!!
This property seemed nice enough online however the beds were uncomfortable (one was foam the other was two twins pushed together) the sauna didn’t work, everything was DIY looking in the house, the main floor was cold and the upstairs was hot, and to top it all off the carpet tacks stuck out on the stairs which lead to me ripping open my heel and bleeding and now having an infection. We won’t be back!
We really loved the house and location. Unfortunately the beautiful bathroom was out of order for our stay.
This vacation rental was the perfect hub for exploring the area and coming back to relax at the end of the day. Definitely would recommend/stay again.
It seems to be the going rate for this time of year.I wish access to beach was easier,as going down rocks to beach was tricky and we were 3 plots in from the beach as I feel was overpriced, nice beach after I figured out how to access down road 6 houses, very difficult to bring things to beach,firewood,usual beach items, if it was closer I would have rated higher!
So this rental is in a nice location and it has nice amenities (the master spa bathroom etc), but there were several things that made it not ideal for our larger (two couples) group. Our issues mostly center around the fact that the 2nd bedroom is actually in the detached garage. This fact is buried in the listing's description, and you may miss it if you're not careful. We thought it wouldn't be much of an issue, but it turned out to add friction to our vacation for several reasons. 1) The privacy in the detached second bedroom. The two doors that lead into the detached garage bedroom both have big windows in them but have no curtains! There is absolutely no privacy. From the 2nd story patio it's very easy to look into the detached bedroom. Our friends in the main house were reluctant to use the 2nd patio in fear of spying on us sleeping or changing. This seems like such a straightforward thing to fix, but really bothered us. 2) The garage bathroom. It is TINY. One person can barely get into it with the door open, two people will not fit in it. Its location is another thing mentioned briefly in the description, but turned out to be more of an issue than we thought it would be. At night, navigating a flight of stairs and then going through a garage to use the bathroom isn't fun. You may ask 'why not go to the main house?', and that leads into issue 3. 3) The logistics of the two houses. The fact that the bedroom in the main house is a loft style with no doors makes it difficult to go into the main house without waking everyone up. We were reluctant to go into the main house (in the early morning or night) as we didn't wish to disturb our friends. This just made it inconvenient to use the kitchen or nice spa. So none of these issues would matter if you're a single couple looking too rent this place. However if you're a larger group, just re-read the description and weigh if it's worth it to your group. Good luck!
Artistically and beautifully designed home, with just a short walk to the stunning ocean. The deck is secluded and perfect for the evenings. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked (my chef/mother was impressed). We enjoyed every minute.
