About this house rental
Welcome to the Shipwreck House, where Oregon Coast history, rugged beauty, and unforgettable ocean views come together in a truly one-of-a kind retreat. The Glenesslin, whose proud portrait hangs above the fireplace, came aground on the rocky coastline near Nehalem, Oregon. Pieces of the reclaimed wood from that historic ship were thoughtfully incorporated into this home, giving Shipwreck House its name and its enduring character. Like the weathered driftwood that washes ashore nearby, this rustic home embraces the authentic charm of the coast with a warm, well-loved feel that reflects its remarkable story.
Perched on a bluff just south of the charming village of Yachats, Shipwreck House offers sweeping views of the rocks, tide pools, and Pacific behind. Watch for harbor seals, seabirds, and crashing surf from the comfort of the living room, where expansive west-facing windows, a spacious dining area, kitchen, and breakfast nook create the perfect gathering place.
Upstairs from the living room, you'll find two queen bedrooms and a shared bath. A second staircase leads to a light-filled sitting room with panoramic views north and west, including the twinkling lights of Yachats after dark. This space features two sleeper sofas, a flat-screen TV , and connects to a king bedroom with a shared bathroom. Back on the main level, the primary suite offers peaceful southern views and an ensuite bath, while an additional bedroom with two twin beds is tucked just beside it.
Just minutes from Cape Perpetua and Heceta Head Lighthouse, Shipwreck House is perfectly situated for exploring the Central Oregon coast. After a day of adventure, enjoy the ping pong table, shuffleboard, board games, and the timeless experience of staying in a home that's every bit as memorable as the landscape surrounding it.
*The deck is currently being rebuilt and will be unavailable during your stay. No construction will take place while guests are at the property. You can still enjoy the expansive side yard and beautiful views!

Booked this place for two families (4 adults/4 kids). There was plenty of space for all of us. It was nice to have some of the rooms separate from the others with a central location between the two (kitchen/living room). The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, and had plenty of blankets & pillows. Daylight basement was a little off, but we didn't spend much time there. Overall, we would certainly stay here again. The views, location and proximity to trails/towns was perfect for the coast. Positives: - Number of rooms/beds- Seating- Overall Location- Views (saw some whales first day there)- Parking- Location to town- Quiet at night- Parts of the hose seemed newly renovated - All appliances workedCons:- Had some mouse visitors each night that we could hear, saw one. They were small and didn't leave a trace, but, could hear them. (Given the location and style of house, this is probably inevitable).- Kitchen items were a little lacking, few bowls and few baking items. Made it hard to cook for 8 people. - Had a terrible smell the first 24 hours, probably related to the very new septic system. Those repairing forgot to fill the p-trap in the garage bathroom which vented into the garage until we figured it out and remedied. After that, there was no longer a smell. - Upstairs carpet was pretty stained. Again, the take away is that we loved this place and would return.

A great place to watch the migrating whales. Saw dozens of spouts, and glimpses of the big, beautiful mammals from the back yard of rental. Says it sleeps 8, and it means 8 adults (full-sized beds, not make-shift cramped quarters). Spacious sleeping and gathering areas. Several bed/suite areas for privacy. Plenty of towels, TP, paper towels. Everything you need in the way of kitchen appliances, dishes and utensils to prepare meals. Deck area was closed for use, so bring your deck/camp chairs (sidewalk area and some flat areas in back yard to sit). Great price for this ocean-front, historic rental. Would highly recommend and will be back. Management was excellent to work with, very timely with responses. Pups loved taking trail down to beach.

The house was awesome with some areas needing improvement: - Several utensils (spatulas) in the drawer were dirty. - Window cranks broken or missing.- TV upstairs was confusing to operate. - Most all the beds were very comfortable.- The host was very responsive. Can't beat the location and the house was awesome even with some of these very minor issues.

The Shipwreck House offers a memorable stay with strong appeal for families and groups, but it requires significant maintenance to reach its potential. The layout is a standout, with a well-connected master suite ideal for families with young children and a spacious upstairs king room with a sitting area. Bedrooms are large, and the design balances communal gathering spaces with areas for privacy.The location is excellent—peaceful, private, and close to Cape Perpetua and Yachats. Large windows provide beautiful views, including sunsets and occasional whale watching. Charming details like the breakfast nook and unique “shipwreck” character add personality, and practical touches like plentiful towels are appreciated.However, the home’s condition detracts from the experience. The garage game room is worn, dirty, and uninviting, and the carpeting upstairs is heavily stained. Maintenance issues are widespread, including a peeling living room ceiling, damaged windows, and unreliable doors and locks.Cleanliness is also inconsistent, with dust, hair, and dirty windows. A musty odor and visible water damage suggest moisture issues, while limited hot water affects comfort.Improvements such as kitchen essentials, secured outdoor seating, and adding board games and speakers would enhance the stay. Most importantly, addressing maintenance, cleanliness, and security is essential. The home has excellent bones, but upkeep is needed to deliver a truly standout experience.
