About this property

Big Blue, 13 Steps to the Beach, Guest House, Game Room, Oceanfront, WiFi, Hot Tub

The Big Blue Beach House: 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, Sleeps 10
It doesn't get any better than this! Our two-story oceanfront home is just 13 steps away from the spectacular Oregon Coast down our private stairway to the beach.
THE MAIN HOUSE has five bedrooms, 4 of these rooms are ocean-front suites, each with a king bed, private en-suite bathrooms, HDTV, and personal patio. We have named these suites; SANDPIPER (downstairs north end), ANCHOR DOWN (downstairs south end), SEA BREEZE (upstairs north end), and TIDE POOL (upstairs south end). The fifth room in the main house is MATES COVE (downstairs south end). Furnished with four custom-built twin bunk beds and one twin pull-out trundle, it can comfortably sleep five and is a favorite of the kids.
The rest of the house is open and spacious with a large great room, extra-large kitchen (more below about the kitchen), and a dining room with a panoramic view. There is also a powder room and a laundry room with a large capacity washer and dryer. The outdoor patio goes the length of the house and is a great place for everyone to relax in a red chair, keep warm at the fire pit and make a delicious smore! Grab one of our many beach towels and find your spot.
The upstairs outdoor space has an eight-person hot tub overlooking the beach by day and the stars by night. There are plenty of towels just before you head out the sliding door and outside on this deck is a half bath.
More about the KITCHEN.
You will love the luxurious kitchen. It’s equipped with a 6 burner gas range that has a griddle and two ovens, There are two dishwashers, two sinks, a 48-inch fridge, and a wine fridge. The cabinets and drawers are stocked with everything you will need - REALLY! Dishes, cutlery, glasses, mugs, platters, crock pots, skillets, pots and pans,mixers, toasters - everything you’ll need to show off your culinary skills. And with seating for 16 at the table and five at the bar, making space for hungry guests is never a problem.
More about the GREAT ROOM.
Big Blue has an incredible view from every room, but the massive windows in the great room that overlook the ocean are breathtaking. The moment you walk into the house you see the ocean. You can watch the sea birds, look for whales, catch the sunset and see the lights of crab boats as they place their nets as you relax by the gas fireplace on the leather sofas or in a swivel chair. There are plenty of books and an HDTV for you to enjoy.
THE GUEST COTTAGE is above the garage and is called The Surf Shack. This is a fun area with a surf vibe that comfortably sleeps up to six. There are two bedrooms both with a king bed; SURFS UP and RIP TIDE. There is a full bathroom and a kitchenette. In the main room, there is plenty of seating with a sofa, chairs, and a pull-out futon so everyone can enjoy the movie on the 65 inch Smart TV.
THE GAME ROOM was a two-car garage but is now a wonderful place to hang out and play air hockey, ping pong, and foosball. The balls, pucks, paddles, and nets are already there, ready to play. There are two sofas, an extra refrigerator, and plenty of extra room. There is also a storage bin with beach chairs for your use.

Great friends and Big Blue

We had an amazing stay at Big Blue. House is just as described and more! Could not ask for a better venue for a gathering of friends. The weather didn’t cooperate for viewing the solar eclipse as we had hoped, but no one complained because we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly!

Great time with beutiful view.

Very nice beach front home on the ocean. We had an exceptional time. The only negative is that the hot tub does not work very well which would have been super nice to be in at night overlooking the ocean and stay warm.

Beautiful home and view. Great for family get away.

This home was everything we hoped to see. A beautiful home with an amazing view. It was great for a large family gathering. We were able to sit out by the fire pit and watch several amazing sunsets. The hot tub was in a fantastic location on the second level. The nights were clear and we were able to see the milky way clearly. The adults and kids enjoyed the beach which was easily accessed with a flight of stairs. The rooms were all good size and parking was great. We would definitely consider going here again.

Really AMAZING House!!!!!

The house does not disappoint, it has all the checked boxes you are looking for in a beach rental. Large kitchen, gas cook top and all the kitchen gadgets you need for making fantastic meals, large table for game night. Large bedrooms with super comfortable beds, enough bathrooms for your group. Best of all is the really easy beach access to do all that beach-combing, kite flying activities. This is our second time renting "Big Blue" for our family reunion. Everyone raved about the house and how comfortable it is. I highly recommend this house. We Love it!!! Thank you for the opportunity to stay at this house.

Big Blue

From the day I contacted the management about the house through our stay we could not be happier. The management was very responsive and good to work with. The amenities at the home was outstanding and covered about anything you may need. The house itself was by far the largest and nicest we have rented. It is beautiful, spacious, and has a wonderful ambiance. The location of the house on the beach was perfect. This home helped make our family reunion the most memorable yet! Thanks for allowing ten adults and ten children under eleven, have such a great time at this house. We will be back!

Great place for large group!

This is truly a great place for a large group. With a main house having 4 bedrooms with their own ocean view deck and each their own bathrooms, along with another bedroom with two sets of bunk beds all located in the main house, and the firepit on the back patio and a kitchen/dining room that can sit an army is all exactly what we needed for our large group. The Guest House above the garage is terrific with two bedrooms and daybed in the living room along with couches and very large screen TV and the playroom in the garage with ping pong etc was great. Outstanding place! Just a tip to be sure all cable boxes for each TV are in working order prior to the arrival of guests (three cable boxes worked, two we figured out and got them working after a cable reboot, one never worked as the cable box never came on). We found that the price is going up, having looked up coming back next year.... we won't be able to afford it going forward for the summer months unless the price remains the same, which is too bad, we love this place it is very awesome and works so well for a large group. The owners are great - very quick, responsive to our needs, and helpful as well!!

Beautiful home, beware of additional charges after

We rented this home with the intent to have multiple generations come together for the weekend and then decided to surprise them with a small wedding. It was the perfect place as it would sleep our whole family for the weekend, we would have space, could cook our favorite foods. etc...The home is beautiful! When we first arrived, we had to wait outside for the home to finish being cleaned despite arriving after the check in time. The housekeeping staff was still working and trying to fix the hot tub. We didn't let this initially deter us form enjoying this beautiful home. After all we wanted it to be clean when we were staying. After we got in and began to settle everyone into their rooms we began to notice a lot of things that were damaged, not working or in disrepair. The hot tub still was not working. We were told that it was fixed and should heat up. It never did and my family was really disappointing as this was a large part in deciding to rent this home. We kept a list (this is what the long list of instructions said to do). The dishwasher didn't work, there was a broken and unusable bed, the electrical in one of the main room was completely out except one lamp beside the bed, one of the game tables didn't turn on, etc. There were also stained carpets, towels, the BBQ grill was dirty and greasy. I wasn't complaining initially, the intent was just to let the owner know. When the list was given to the owner, the response was a long list of things that we did to the home and a request to pay double in housekeeping costs! One of the bathrooms had a dirty floor/toilet (one of our kids got sick and we missed the mess ) However, there were claims of the home being "abused" and in complete disrepair. There is a long list of things to do when leaving the home. We expected this we have stayed in vacation rentals before. My family spent the entire morning at check out, stripping beds, starting laundry, washing dishes, taking out the trash, etc. We certainly did not leave the home a complete mess and followed everything on the list before leaving. I am a nurse and an honest person, if there was something that we did to this home to warrant 32 hours additional cleaning and double the amount for regular cleaning fees, I would kindly pay the amount and apologize profusely. If you choose to rent this home be sure to inspect everything upon arrival.

Stunning view

This property was perfect for our 4 families with children of different ages. The view was breath taking, and waking up to it every morning made our stay absolutely worthwhile. Even though we were by the coast in June, we still lucked out with a couple of sunny days. The town was quaint, and everyone was friendly. We liked both restaurants we ate at, and got to do many sightseeing (the seals were just adorable!) The outdoor firepit was a hit for story-telling and s'mores. A few things I'd like to note: -the dishwasher at the guest house was labeled 'out of order' when we arrived, and was in the same condition when we left -there were 2 dishwashers in the main house, but only one operated -the smoke detector in the northwest bedroom kept beeping even after we replaced its battery. I also notice a missing detector in the northwest hallway -on one of the sunny days, we came home around 4 or 5 pm, and the house was very warm (temperature was 84 upstairs). The nice thing was, after we opened all windows and sliding doors, it cooled down after 30 minutes -this property seems to be a favorite to many, which is why I see many other areas needing upkeep (ripped window blinds, no landscape lights, etc.) -many basic spices in the kitchen but no sugar

FANTASTIC 5 DAYS

Everyone in our family absolutely enjoyed every minute spent at the Big Blue. It was magical. Four bedrooms with balconies overlooking the ocean was perfect for our three adult children and us. I can not think of one negative moment, except the West sun beaming into the living room and wishing for some window cover; however, that was only for 2-3 hours in late afternoon. Our 85 yr old was able to walk down the stairs to the beach every day and this was a big bonus. The fire pit was amazing and enjoyed by all. WOW, this is such a special home. It has everything! Our kids enjoyed all the activities in the garage. We hope to return next year. Location is great!
