Shorepoint Beach House

Shorepoint Beach House is a wonderfully cozy house literally steps from beachfront on Alsea Bay in Waldport, Oregon. Its our favorite family vacation spot on the Oregon Coast!
I’m giving it 4 stars for location, coziness and location, and LOCATION.
I’m holding back 1 star just because this isn’t one of the designer beach houses, and it is a bit vintage. The owners have been gradually improving the house as they are able each year. (In my heart though I know our family gives Shorepoint 5+ stars!)
The house is an older 2 & ½ bedroom ranch style home with empty lots on either side. It is fully furnished with linens, towels and cooking supplies, sleeps 8, has 2 full baths, 2 car garage with washer/​dryer. There is 1 cable TV and wireless internrnet throughout.
The open floor plan takes advantage of large windows on three walls providing a gorgeous 180 degree panoramic view of Alsea Bay and Bridge. There is a fireplace in the living room– bring your own firewood, driftwood is not allowed in the fireplace.
Each of the 2 main bedrooms has a queen bed. The master bedroom has its own full bath. The «half-​bedroom» is actually a converted walk-​in closet with a set of single bunkbeds. It is strictly a sleeping room. There is also a queen futon in the dining area– If you have a memory foam bring it along for the futon (it’s a hard one!).
The kitchen has a somewhat retro cooking island with Jenn-​aire Range and bar seating. There’s a newer side-​by-​side fridge and dishwasher. There’s also a back up fridge in the garage.
A large deck out the back door is literally 20 feet from the beach. Adjacent to the deck outside, there’s room there’s room for your kids to put a tent or two (weather permitting) overlooking the beach and Bay.
The Bay is a prime fishing area for Dungeoness Crab. You can actually bring a crab ring and toss it off the beach to catch your dinner. During substantial low tides there are accessible beds of bay clams. The beach has a permanent colony of 100 – 200 harbor seals residing on the point during low tides– they are quite an exciting attraction!
Our family LOVES this house. It’s been our vacation choice for 20 years.

In June/​July 2011 it was advertized on Salem Craigslist for $ 175 per night. Leave a message on the phone number with date inquiries for a call back. My understanding is pets are not allowed.
