Dog Friendly Coastal Retreat with Water Views Deck Private Hot Tub and WiFi

We loved how close this was to the beach. If the hot tub was fixed it would be 5 star.

Overall, this is a pretty nice house that met the needs (of our family of 4 + one guest) well. Cape Mears is a sleepy oceanside community without services and off the main roads… So generally, the houses here are not new, fancy, or set up for extra large groups. Accessibility note: there are several stairs up to the front entrance, and the path to it has tripping hazards. We are able-bodied, but arriving in the dark with the porch light not on made our entry a little difficult. There are two comfortable living rooms. The downstairs one is probably original to the house, and has an electric heater and LED candles in the fireplace. The newer living room appears part of a second story addition to capture ocean view. There’s a new deck and views from inside the living room are pretty good too. We spent most of our time up here. There’s also a large table that seats six where we had dinner and played card games. Walk to the beach is easy, but know at that at high tide the beach here can be inaccessible, especially at the near end. It’s still possible to sit on the dune above and watch the waves or to walk to the north end of town and access a trail that heads out up the spit. It’s also a short drive or 45 minute walk to the Bayocean Park, which has a lovely walk on the bayside, which is less windy. This area is a birder’s delight. The hot tub was a highlight for our stay, good temperature and clean. The kitchen was adequate to our needs. And there’s a wide array of cookware… probably everything you need, including bakeware. The twin bunk beds are regular length and framed in so would not work for tall teens or adults. Only the Master bedroom has a TV (which we actually prefer).

Very roomy. Lovely view. Easy walk to the beach. Hot tub. Lots of board games.

It was close to the beach. Beautiful sunsets were visible from the deck as well.

Beautiful views. Well stocked kitchen and linen closet. Clean and comfortable. The hot tub is nice and has a view. However, the beds are HORRIBLE.
