historic waterfront beach house in seaside, oregon

Description from the owner

Available for the first time on the vacation rental market.

Waterfront beach house.

This charming 1903, three level, tastefully restored, waterfront beach house, has panoramic views of Necanicum River, the Estuary, Tillamook Head and Pacific Ocean. Features include, private steps to the soft sand beach, original woodwork throughout the house and claw foot bath tub. Many modern upgrades compliment the quintessential vintage charm.

Create a moment.

Roomy enough for a family clambake (comfortably sleeps 8), intimate enough for a romantic weekender, this well-appointed home offers great usable space for cooking, indoor an...d outdoor seating options for drinking and dining, and big fluffy beds to flop down in at the end of the night. Double fridge/freezer, dishwasher and laundry, coffee maker(s) and cable TV, extra soft linens and clean towels, big windows with lots of natural light (and candles tucked away for the evening hours), a working cook’s kitchen and a sloping grassy yard - this is a flexible, livable space that easily adapts to (and inspires) any adventure.

Relax at the coast.

Gather around the outdoor fire pit, tilt your Adirondack chair toward the waves, or curl up with a book in the cozy sunroom, warmed by a fireplace. Enjoy private beach access - where fresh meets salt water at the intersection of the Necanicum River and the Pacific Ocean - with crabbing, kayaking, fishing, paddle boarding just steps from your door (all required kit for crabbing is down in the basement awaiting your arrival - so grab it and go get ‘em!). The wine fridge and fully stocked honor bar is at your disposal (house rules: take a little, leave a little... it all balances out).

Additional Location Information

Seaside has been a popular coastal getaway since the 1800s. From here you can enjoy spectacular ocean views; observe the gray whale migration; see elk, eagles and falcons; go hiking or kayaking; or build a bonfire on miles of sandy beaches. All along Broadway there are themed gardens and flower baskets hanging around town where you can enjoy a wide variety of spring flowers.

Activities

Clamming
Clamming season opens in early fall and usually lasts through early to mid-summer. Guests can clam right in front of the beach house, or on any open beaches north to the Columbia River. The daily Razor Clam limit per person is the first 15 clams

Crabbing
In Seaside the seafood is fresh, but there’s nothing fresher and more satisfying than catching your own dinner. Waiting for you in the home will be crab traps, as well as the "in-house" crab recipe. September through December are probably the best times to go crabbing, however, Dungeness crab can be caught starting in late July or August through February depending on the weather.

Fishing
Fishing opportunities on the North Coast are plentiful. The months of May through September yield the richest prospects.
If you prefer fishing local lakes and streams from your own boat or casting your line from the bank, there are plenty of locations to choose from. In Seaside, Quatat Marine Park and Cartwright Park along the Necanicum River offer boat ramp river access, and at Quatat, you can fish right on the river from the docks. Trout, steelhead and striped bass can all be caught along the Necanicum.

Surfing
Surfing is an very popular sport on the Oregon Coast. At the Cove in Seaside, surfers can be found year-round, practically all day, every day. Seaside is also home to two surf shops that sell and rent boards, wetsuits, and other accessories.

Kayaking/Canoeing
Who neds a car? With the home directly on the Necanicum River and Pacific Ocean, you can cane or kayak almost anywhere in Seaside. The North Coast is home to some of the best waterways for kayaking and canoeing. From the open ocean and rivers to the shallow picturesque inlets and bays, there are boating opportunities for all skill levels. Most of the year, kayaks and canoes are available from the local recreation rental shops.

Golf
The area in and around Seaside is home to several beautiful public golf courses.

Tennis and other Sports
In Seaside, public tennis courts are located at Broadway Park and Seaside High School. Basketball hoops are located at most of the local parks. Broadway park, part of the Sunset Empire Park & Recreation District, has a skate park, area for baseball & soccer, basketball hoops, playground equipment and indoor public swimming pools.

  Exceeded our expectations!

  Was our first time to Seaside, Oregon. Booked a 5 day family vacation, sight unseen except for the pictures. The house is charming and had lots of room for our large group. It overlooks the ocean and estuary and we had fun clamming and collecting sand dollars. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking every meal. Lots of shops & stores within walking distance, but not right next door which made the location ideal for peace & quiet. Full of ambience with fires at night, books available, washer/dryer, claw foot bathtub, great shower and comfy beds. We will be returning next year for a second family reunion.
