Property details

Shell Haven - the property manager You’ll have stunning views of Alsea Bay Bridge, the bay and Waldport from this pretty, single-level Bayshore home, not to mention direct access to the bay down stairs from the yard. By day you’ll enjoy soaking up the sun from your wind-screened deck watching seals bob in the bay. By night, you and your guests can sit around the blazing fire pit and watch the lights twinkle on the bridge and in town. Throw out a crab ring or bait up your fishing pole and try your luck in the bay. If you’re successful, there’s even an outdoor utility sink to clean your catch. In the meantime, your guests will love the gorgeous light in the great room of Shell Haven, thanks to its vaulted ceiling and huge windows, including sliders to the deck. The TVs in the living room and bedrooms will keep you entertained. There’s shuffleboard in the garage, too! Two large bedrooms, one a large queen master suite with bay views and the other a king with a window seat and a bath in the hall next door, make this an excellent home to share with another couple. You’ll also enjoy access to the seasonal pool for a fee at the Bayshore Beach Club, plus the neighborhood playground and tennis courts. It’s also an easy walk to miles of sandy ocean beach. Try a stay in this beautifully situated, sparkling home—you’ll get a whole new perspective on the delights of Waldport!

Super cute & cozy house and great location! Wish there were chairs outback by fire pit like shown in the pictures, living room window had no blinds so it was wide open. But other than that it was an overall great place to stay! Would stay again!

House definitely had some pros and cons - overall, we had a nice stay and we would stay again. You are paying for the view and location! Pros: The view of the bay is awesome with LOTS of wildlife out the back patio. We saw a herd of 50+ seals swimming by in the evening and tons of birds, including loons calling! It’s in a quiet and peaceful location. Walkable to the beach and the home has comfortable beds. Cons: The house needs some extra love and attention - it is outdated with missing blinds and has cobwebs hanging from the ceilings. There was NO coffee of any sort, no salt and pepper, no basic cooking necessities and laundry left in the dryer. No pellets for the wood burning stove and the shuffleboard wasn’t usable (it is a little warped and didn’t have the sand or wax needed to play). The photos are a bit deceiving when you’re not able to use the amenities you think you’re getting. Pretty basic stay, but great for what we needed. The fire pit out back was nice!
