Summary:

The Sand Castle



The Space:

This Gleneden Beach vacation rental offers all the comforts of home for up to eight guests, with a few extra amenities to make your stay especially memorable! Gather around the unique wood-burning fireplace in the center of the living room, take a leisurely soak in the master bedroom's whirlpool tub, or stroll to the quiet beach. This cottage has an artsy vibe with pale wood walls and pops of blue and yellow, yet it's still cozy and homey without being pretentious. You'll love the hardwood laminate floors of the living area, crowned by a wood-burning fireplace, and with high ceilings and expansive windows overlooking the scenery. Guests can relax on the two comfy sofas while they watch the latest DVDs on the large TV, and kids of all ages can play a board game at the built-in table just off the living room. An additional gas fireplace offers even more heat on a cold coastal night.



The open floor plan allows easy access from the living room to the dining area. Six guests can enjoy their repast at the wooden dining table, and an additional three seats are on hand at the kitchen counter. Wooden cupboards hide plenty of dishes and pots and pans with which to cook, and the fridge is large enough to hold a plethora of snacks for the kids. No time for dishes? No worries, as the home includes a convenient dishwasher. The turquoise theme is continued on the upper level, which boasts two expansive bedrooms and one and a half baths. A queen bed, complete with floral coverlet, occupies the master suite, which also features pale wood walls, a large terrace, and a half bath. But it's the in-room jetted tub that catches the eye and offers the wow factor! The second bedroom boasts two double beds and a bathroom with a shower. A pull-out sofa offers room for two more guests, bringing the total accommodations to eight. Dogs are welcome here, too, though a nightly fee per dog and minimum fee per stay will apply. A washer and dryer will get that sand and grime off in no time, and the backyard offers plenty of space to play or dine at the colorful picnic tables.



What's nearby:

Situated on the Northern Oregon Coast just west of the Oregon Coast Highway, this colorful two-story, two-bedroom home offers a pleasing respite for anyone looking to get away from it all. A two-block tree-lined path takes you to a secluded stretch of Gleneden beach with its sandstone bluffs, sea lions, and adventurous surfers. Just keep the car at home, as parking is limited. The Northern Oregon Coast boasts many year-round attractions. Just five miles from Gleneden Beach is popular Lincoln City, home to two annual kite festivals in the summer and fall. If you'd rather stay close to home, Gleneden Beach State Recreation Site is a stone's throw away, offering sea lions galore on nearby Salesian Spit. Head to Salishan Resort & Spa for some tee time on the 18-hole golf course or a hot stone massage at the award-winning spa. Check out local art at the Lawrence Gallery in town. Kayak tours, as well as whale watching, fishing, and crabbing opportunities, abound at the various state parks in the area. Close to the beach, with a unique sense of style and a few special touches: this is one Oregon Coast vacation rental you won't soon forget!

The house smelled of pet urine as soon as we walked in. Area rugs everywhere that stunk of urine, that should be thrown away. The furniture is old and broken down and very uncomfortable. The heat doesn't work so have to use space heaters which is unsafe, except in secondary bedroom where it did work. Tech came and changed out the thermostat, it seemed to help at first, but problem reoccurred. Beds in the second bedroom are not comfortable, old and sunken, like Uncle Festers bed according to my son. Kitchen was stocked ok, but only one electrical outlet worked and dishwasher detergent drawer won't stay closed. Bathroom shower leaks somewhere so water comes up between the floor boards after using it. House is in need of major repairs which is unfortunate because it is a good location close to the beach and the neighborhood is quiet. Storm door is missing the glass and is just left there. Large gaps around the front door which with the old windows and intermittent heat source makes it difficult to keep warm. Broken Adirondack chairs outside and very rusted propane tanks for the grill. Nice wood burning fireplace inside but the grate inside of it that you place the wood on is completely rusted through. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Th owner obviously just wants to make money on the property, but not put anything back into it. It definitely is an "unforgettable" beach house, but not in a good way. Do not waste your money.

We got a good deal-booked weekdays at the last minute. Fabulous location! Overall it was clean and stocked with things we needed. Burners on stove didn’t always work. Gas heater doesn’t really work consistently but after some trial and error we could get it on-lots of space heaters so we were plenty warm. Living room is very crowded with furniture and the TV is mounted at an unusable height. Bar stools have loose hardware and are the wrong height for bar so also unusable. The tub in the bedroom might seem a bit strange but I enjoyed it. Could use a mat inside the entry to help keep the place clean. I would stay there again if I could get the same price.

Fun, funky house. Some improvements needed.

Loved the uniqueness and retro aspects of this property. In theory, this was a great place to stay and looked clean on the surface. However, the charm was a bit eroded by lack of reliable heating options, pet smells, and deep cleanliness. Easy check in, and a couple of restaurants were in walking distance.

Definitely worth it for the right price

The downstairs was cool.. Very open, I wish the big fire place was in working order, but other than that the sand castle definitely had personality. The stairs to get up to the bedrooms are steep and narrow ( I had no problem with them but I can see how others would ) and id bring your own blankets. Id stay here again for sure

Beach Vacay!

We loved The Sand Castle Vacation Home at Gleneden Beach! It was very clean and cozy, but there was room for 8 of us, 6 adults and 2 children. Everything we needed was supplied for us, and we felt very much at home and comfortable! We loved the unique shape of the home, and that it was pretty secluded in the trees. One of the best benes was, we could hear the Ocean from the house, and could walk down to the Beach without much trouble, as the Beach was only 2 blocks away, and it wasn't crowded at all!

We had a wonderful memorial weekend getaway. Grandma, Mom and 2 kids.

The place is very cute and quaint. First impression was awesome. I was sensitive to the leftover wood in the large wood fireplace, but adjusted well. Entire place was clean--don't understand other reviews in against-its a cute older place and was clean! We didn't bring a dog and didn't smell dog (and I have a sensitive nose) just smelled the fireplace. Stairs are very small and steep BUT the railing is incredibly secure. Grandma had no problems with a bad hip getting up. We would love to come back and stay again with other family. The beach access was perfect, short blocks path to a 1 block road walk to the access point. All in all this is such a stinking cute house and was a great FIRST A-frame experience for us.

This place was very cute, and perfect for our little family vacation! The only slightly downside to the house was the strong odor of dog inside (which makes sense as it is a dog friendly rental) Other than that small detail, we enjoyed our stay very much!

Perfect getaway

Loved the house. The fireplace was great. Gas fireplace kept us warm after the fire went out. Close to the beach. Found lots of treasures. Whirlpool bath tub waS amazing. Only downside was: 1. The door code they sent didn't work...but I called and they promptly gave another that did. 2. Not a good washer or dryer..clothes were soaking wet..had to spin em 3 times..took the dryer 3 times also to dry ( it waS a small load). Oh and 3. Wifi n cable went out when the storm came in. We will book again...had so much fun. Very relaxing

Beach trip 2021

This is a really cute cabin but it needs some serious overall updating and repairs. The heating system is not working properly (gas stove) didn’t seem to turn up or down. The kitchen windows were very covered with cobwebs and moss on the outside. When we first arrived there were empty beer cans on the counter and a dirty dishrag on the sink. This prompted me to send all the dishes through the dish washer to sanitize them, but there was no dish washer soap. During this covid pandemic cleanliness should be a top priority.

Gross,l

House was charming enough. I’m sure the house keeper did their best under the circumstances, but the place stank. Dog pee smells everywhere. Stains. Disgusting baseboard. My baby is crawling and it was difficult to allow him to. Next time, no dog friendly places for us. Stairs are extremely steep and narrow for feet. All bedrooms are upstairs, so that means taking suitcases up. Abs hard for seniors. Very cute home though, and nice walk to the beach. Just wish it could be updated with new carpet, paint, and power washing the cobwebs on the outside of the windows and siding.

NEVER AGAIN DONT USE VACASA THEY ARE THE WORST MOST UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY.

We arrived at 3:50 as check in time was 4:00pm. Cleaning lady arrived at 4 to START CLEANING!! WE had to wait until 630pm before we could get into this dirty place. The cleaning lady said she could skip some stuff if we wanted. CERTAINLY NOT with COVID. WE CALLED and talked to 4 yes 4 supervisors who promised to call us back and never did...the property manager Jack never called us once. We had to sweep, mop and wipe down everything as it was left filthy. I have pictures if anyone wants them. Management didn't care. This almost ruined our vacation and everything we wanted to do. Again Management didn't care or want to hear about it. There was dishes left in the dishwasher, garbage left outside, nothing was vacuumed we did that ourselves. This company is the worst for caring about their renters. The dirty sheets with who knows what bodily fluids ON THEM WERE left on the KITCHEN TABLE. we traveled 8 hours and 534 miles and Management didn't care as we didn't receive any call backs.

Unplug here

This was the 2nd time we have stayed here. We live this cabin-like home so much!! We unplug here, ignore our phones and bring firewood, wine and books. We read snuggled up by the fire and when desired, we ventured to our favorite spots in Lincoln city and Newport. The master tub is amazing and if this home ever went up for sale, we would snap it up!! This home is in a quiet wooded neighborhood and feels much like a cabin in the woods....while still being an easy drive to beaches, Mos and shopping. As frontline nurses, we were in desperate need for a break from the public and this home was perfection. Thank you for having us, we will be back very soon!!
