Nov 21st Update: Beach House Rented for Thanksgiving

We've had a last minute cancellation for Thanksgiving Day weekend leaving our large house—perfect for a family gathering—unoccupied over the holiday weekend.

Watch football on the big screen tv, cook your big Turkey dinner, play on the sand, and warm up in front of the fireplace. This is the perfect opportunity to get away with family and friends and spend some time on the Oregon Coast.

We've launched a new web site and you're looking at it!

The site hasn't changed much from the previous web site. The main reasons for the move were mainly behind the scenes. The old web site was using a plugin that was no longer being maintained.

The main reason for announcing the change is to explain why we haven't blogged about the house in ages, and to let you know that there are new posts coming soon.

We're now introducing Winter Weekend specials. We've been looking for a way to balance the need to book multiple days at a time (to avoid gaps in the calendar and frankly to ensure that people have enough time in the house to relax and enjoy themselves) with the fact that a lot of people can't take an extra day off from work and only have a weekend to visit the coast.

We think we've come up with a pretty good solution that makes the most out of a typical weekend.

We've finally added a Features section to the site. It includes some often asked questions about the floorplan, kitchen supplies, and what to bring to our beach house vacation rental.

We've reduced our rental rates. The new rates are:

• Winter: $169
• Summer and Holidays: $215

The previous rates were $189 for winter and $245 for summer. The rate reductions are based on a better understanding of our costs now that we've owned the house for a few months.

If you are interested about how we determine the rates that we charge, we've provided a detailed explanation below.

We're finally ready to rent the house, and we want to celebrate. We're hosting an holiday party/open house. If you want to get a sneak peek at the house, please feel to come by and say hello.
