Whimsical Ocean Front Home! Hot tub & Dog Friendly!

Walk through the front door in to this quaint and quirky beach front home in Waldport. Enjoy every aspect of the coast, from the sand dunes to the rolling waves of the Pacific Ocean, while relaxing in this two bedroom, one and a half bath whimsical retreat. This Sweet Home boasts colorful accents and promises of finding fun touches throughout.

Whimsical Dunes is a colorful and sunny single level with loft home in the Bayshore Community of Waldport. There are two comfortable bedrooms that offer king size beds that can be turned in to two twins with advance notice. Between the two bedrooms is a newly remodeled bathroom with a walk in shower that was built with no lip allowing easy access for those that need it. The loft is a perfect space to escape to enjoy a good book, look out the windows and watch for whales or tuck away the kids in their own little hideaway. In addition, there is a half bath off of the laundry room. Watch the waves or one of our spectacular sunsets from the ocean front deck, enjoy the hot tub after a day of beachcombing, or grill up some fresh fish caught from one of the fishing vessels in Newport!
*Whimsical Dunes has an EV Charging station so that you can charge at your destination- not on the highway - making this destination a home away from home for you and your EV.

Wonderful stay

My husband and I stayed for a little getaway and had a perfect time. The beach cabin is cozy, well remodeled and very comfortable. Bed was comfy, which is something most rentals lack. We squeezed in one beach walk before a massive storm hit. We did lose power, but we made the best of it. Would be a great stay for two families. Beach access is top tier.

Spring Break w College Kiddo

Great spot to enjoy time with our son on his college spring break. Located in easy driving distance to Newport to the north, Waldport to the immediate south, and Yachats just beyond. Very dog friendly, too. Highly recommend!

Amazing Anniversary Trip

This house is wonderful, the property manager was great to work with and the hot tub was awesome! We enjoyed all of it and our little dog Isla also enjoyed watching the rabbits and trying to find out where they went in the dune grass! What a great place to visit, we will use them again for another vacation!

Favorite new vacation house!

This house was everything we hoped it would be and more! It was charming, clean, and so comfortable. The beds were seriously the best we have ever experienced. The kitchen and the bathroom were both amazing, and we loved sitting on the deck enjoying the view. A lot of effort has clearly gone into the home decor, it’s definitely whimsical! We loved our stay, thanks so much!

Awesome Beach Access

The property was great, clean, and so dog friendly. We didn't realize it until we arrived, but the porch with the hot tub is fully enclosed, making it easy to enjoy the hot tub knowing our pup wouldn't try to run off to the beach without us. The beach access is so easy and short, and the beach itself beautiful. We will be back!

Thanksgiving getaway

Perfect place for a relaxing Thanksgiving getaway at the ocean. Loved the sunset view, from the deck and hot tub. Amazing selection of DVDs. The shower and tub were fun and truly luxurious. We brought wet suits and really enjoyed the easy access to the beach and waves. Thank you for the camp chairs - they were great to take in the sunset from the top of the dunes. Our pup Sebastian absolutely loved the beach! Another magical stay in Waldport - worth the drive!

Our favorite beach rental

This is our second time staying at this property. My kid loved it so much that he was packed and ready for the trip on Monday night when we weren’t heading to the coast until Saturday afternoon. The loft is his room when we stay there and he loves everything about this place. The kitchen is easily the most well stocked of any vacation rental we’ve used to date. Everything is clean and comfortable. Host was very organized and responsive, and the welcome materials are thorough to the point that I’ve never needed to get in touch once our stay begins. Highly recommend this rental for a great beach getaway.
