Waterfront Family Home with Beach Access - Dog-friendly

The Shideler House

This custom-built, three-bedroom Waldport vacation rental is right on gorgeous Alsea Bay, with stunning panoramic views of the bay and ocean! The Shideler House offers fast WiFi for those who need to stay connected while on vacation, and the Pacific Ocean is just a five-minute walk from the house. Home to a popular crabbing industry, Alsea Bay and Waldport also boasts a sleepy, small-town feel undiscovered by many Oregon Coast travelers. This charming town offers markets and fantastic food options, as well as unique shops to explore. While you're here, you can borrow crabbing and clamming gear and enjoy direct, private access to the bay and beach! Take one of the provided kayaks out onto the bay during calm tides or throw a crab pot in at the Dock of the Bay marina. And don't worry if you get dirty while out having fun - your Waldport getaway has a washer and dryer for doing laundry when you run out of clean clothes. From here, you're only a 15-minute drive away from Newport where you can visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium or see a show at the Newport Performing Arts Center in Nye Beach, before returning home to your delightful Waldport retreat for a moonlight stroll on the uncrowded beach! Inside your two-story Shideler House getaway, the spacious and wonderfully designed living room is a great place to watch the tides change or the sunset. When the sun goes down, enjoy a show on your favorite streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney, etc) readily available or set up game consoles on the televisions in any of the rooms. There’s a half-bath located near the front door by the hallway. In case of rainy weather, you'll have plenty of options to keep you occupied. Try the foosball table in the garage, play cards at the game table or pull out one of the many games or puzzles from the shelves. Additionally, you'll have a wood-burning fireplace (bring your own wood) to create the perfect vacation ambiance. For a quiet evening in, you can borrow a book from the vast collection and spend the evening reading, snuggled up by the fire. The well-equipped kitchen is bright and airy, with a refrigerator, stovetop/oven, dishwasher, coffeemaker and grinder, microwave, air fryer, and everything you'll need for cooking and baking projects. And when you're ready to sit down to a meal, the dining room table seats six guests for dinner with a view. This main level also contains the spacious, maritime-themed master bedroom, complete with a king bed, private full bathroom, gorgeous water views, and deck access. This outdoor space is a lovely setting for morning coffee, grilling in the late afternoon, or just sitting and gazing out at the water. A lower deck with two adirondack chairs is located down near the grass to get you even closer to the water. Stay warm down there with a jacket or blanket or use the fire pit located there. Don't forget to pick up some marshmallows to roast! Upstairs, in the two bedrooms, you'll find a king bed in one room and a queen plus a twin bed in the other. Both rooms have large closets and full water views, with TVs in each room. There is also a full bathroom on the upper level that these two rooms share. This Waldport vacation home will sleep up to six guests very comfortably for a wonderful Central Oregon Coast escape! On evenings that you don't feel like cooking, you can head to Fresh Mexican Restaurant across the street, or head to Azul Mexican Restaurant at the marina or grab a pizza from Grand Central Pizza. You can spend your day beachcombing along the sand or visiting the small handful of shops in town, like the Waldport Flea Market, Well Read Books or Skosh, all of which are walkable right from the house! But really, you might find that one of your favorite activities is lounging on the back deck or enjoying the fire pit patio table on the lower deck and taking in a vibrant, colorful sunset. This Oregon Coast vacation rental right on Waldport's Alsea Bay is a gorgeous vacation getaway for unwinding, exploring the coast, and just taking it easy. With popular activities like river fishing, hiking, and even boating around the bay, Waldport offers something for everyone. You can even bring your lovely well-behaved dog with you for a small nightly fee!
