Apartment
Stunning Panoramic Ocean View | No Cleaning Fees
Yachats, Oregon, United States
Your top-floor view of the wild sea and the sounds of the roar of the waves from the oceanfront South View Suite are unparalleled. Ocean Haven is halfway between Cape Perpetua & Heceta Head. Hike all day or curl up in a Pendleton blanket with a book, gazing out the window at the ever-changing Sea. Private trail to a sandy beach, tide pools teeming with marine life, a seal colony, pelagic & shorebirds, & wandering whales await you. Ocean Haven is a delight to all who find her.brThe spacebrOcean Haven sits on a promontory overlooking with Wild Pacific Ocean.brbrWe have a unique and spectacular vista, unobstructed by trees or acres of space between you and the sight of the ocean. From the recliners in the South View, all you can see is the Sea in front of you. brbrThe South View is a large suite with 2 Queen beds and 2 daybeds, and recliners, all with ocean views.brbrThere is a full-sized refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster, pots, pans, cooking utensils, and coffee maker. It comes stocked with coffee, teas, and hot chocolate. Warning: there is no creamer in the room, we pick up too much plastic on the beach to add to it with plastic creamers. If you use cream, grab some on your way in, or ask us in a pinch and hope we have some at that moment (usually we do).brbrWe are eco-friendly, use safe and natural cleaning products and ask our guests to compost food and recycle.brbrWe have a harbor seal colony living on the rocks on the beach below us and there are eagles, ravens, hawks, raptors, pelicans, and all kinds of other wildlife sharing the space with us.brbrOcean Haven is isolated with no other building on either side of us, so besides being on a promontory, having no neighbors leaves that much more land for habitat for vegetation and all the visiting creatures. The lot next door is a designated Silverspot butterfly habitat.brbrIn order to conserve precious water, we do not change towels and linens each day or clean rooms unless by special request.brbrThere are books including travel, birding, and hiking guides in each room as well as books written by the various writers who have graced Ocean Haven over the years.brbrThere are no televisions or telephones in the room. There is wifi.brbrOcean Haven is more of a quiet retreat and a place to relax and rejuvenate, and more of a settle-in kind of place than an in-and-out place.brbrEverybody is pretty happy here.brGuest accessbrYou can access the beach from the trail next to the cabin. The trail is a moderately rated switchback trail. Depending on the tides and the movements of the sand seasonally there can be a little jump from the rocks to the bottom. Most people have no difficulty with the trail to the beach, however, people who have physical challenges may prefer to drive up the street to one of the more easily accessible beaches. There are beaches to the north and south that are accessible without stairs, but we are on a cliffside, part of what makes it so glorious! brbrThe beach is full of things to explore, including tide pools, colorful sea stars, rocks, evidence of a forest buried in the cliffside, and beyond.brbrMost of our guest spend hours down exploring the beach, if they can get out of bed or the recliner that day.brbrThere is a large deck on the lower level that is surrounded on 2/3 with lush vegetation and by the bluff and the ocean on the other 1/3. We highly recommend hanging out down there both during the day and at night when the moon shimmers on the water, or hides and all you can see is stars.brbrOther things to notebrWe are an old building and do not have exhaust fans in all the rooms, so please please please for the sake of those who come after you do not cook fish or heavily spiced food on your last night at Ocean Haven and try to keep the windows open (of course you want the windows open!) on the other days if you cook heavily scented yummy foods.brbrIf you are cooking anything with garlic, put a fan on it and point the fumes towards the owners unit.brbrNo smoking on the premises, inside or out.brbrbrThere is generally no cell service along much of this stretch of coast. You can usually get phone service over wifi if you have that feature on your cell phone. Our cell carrier is ATT and we are able to make calls over wifi from the location. I believe Sprint and T-Mobile, is the same, not sure about smaller carriers. Many people have no idea they can make calls over wifi until they get here and we show them the feature in their settings under cellular.brbrThis is a much better place to come and settle in for a minute.brbrThe people who only come for a few days universally say they wished they had booked longer stays, if-they-had-only-known.brbrYou'll know we aren't making that up when you get here, or if you read what our few new Airbnb friends have written so far.brbrMany of them have been back already.brbrOur regular guests, who have been coming for years book at least a week, many two or three weeks. Consider yourself warned.brbrIf you are writing a book or have some kind of other project, be it coding or knitting, this is the perfect place to settle in and get some work done and totally enjoy every moment doing it.brbrSorry to mention work for anybody who wants to unplug, but if you gotta be plugged in, do it in oceanfront splendor, while you take care of yourself.
