OCEANFRONT-Shorty's Hideaway-Spend More Time At The Beach-Pet Friendly

Welcome to Shorty's Hideaway ocean front home. Just steps through the sand and dune grass to miles of pristine sandy beach. This beach house has been in the same family for all these years and has recently been remodeled with a completely new kitchen, modern appliances, new picture windows and heated floors. The open floor plan is perfect for family and friends to gather and share beach experiences or games for a little friendly competition. There is plenty of room for kids to spread out and within view while preparing meals in the fully stocked kitchen. The comfortable living room has a smart TV with a blue ray player or just hang out and watch the surf through the living and dining room view windows. Stay warm and dry snuggled in a cozy throw and observe the dramatic winter weather. There is a master bedroom with a king size bed with a smart TV and an ocean view along with a roomy master bath. A guest room and guest bath located on the other side of the living room and no stairs required because all spaces are at street level. BBQ on the east patio located out of the westerly winds or set in the sun and enjoy that novel you've been meaning to get to.

Walk south to Bob Straub Park and keep going to where the Nestucca River meets the ocean or head north towards the picturesque Cape Kiwanda and Haystack Rock. There is so much to explore along Pacific City's beautiful coastline including beach combing, whale watching and horseback riding. Bring your kayak to launch into the Nestucca River or rent one locally.

Sit on the dune behind the house and watch your kids and pets play on the beach, while the sun goes down for that spectacular sunset. Play a little, dream a little while time stands still. Reserve today and find out for yourself why nothing comes close to staying ocean front.

Pet fee is per pet, per stay. Multiple pets require multiple fees. Pets must please stay off the furniture and beds and never left alone inside the house or garage unless in a kennel. Pet limit is 2.

Wonderful beach house!

Cannot say enough good things about Shorty's Hideaway. Most well-stocked and clean VRBO we have ever stayed at - I was so impressed! The location is perfect - we walked from Shorty's to everywhere around town all weekend and spent so much time going to/from the beach. Would love to come back some day!

Great location

This home's location is perfect! Right on the beach, walking distance to Pelican Brewing Co. and Stimulus (a fun coffee/bake shop) Also, perfectly located on Hwy 101 between Tillamook & Depoe Bay. Shorty's is a well maintained home with updates. We loved our stay here and Ellen was awesome with communication. We are already planning our next stay!

a getaway to recharge and relax Aug 5th-8th

Shorty's Hideaway is the perfect getaway to relax and recharge. We spent hours just sitting on the bluff looking at the beach and Surf. Just steps away from the beach. The house was perfectly equipped with everything you need. Perfectly located in Pacific City, minutes away from Cape Kawanda and Pelican Brewing. We will be back again as this will be our go to place to stay when we go to the coast.

A Rental With Everything!

Shorty's Hideaway is a beautiful and quiet place to stay on the Oregon Coast. Small home with big offerings including beautiful decor, kitchen that a chef could prepare meals in, amazingly comfortable mattresses, stunning views, tranquil beach and every item you may need. Pacific City and the area offer small town excellence in dining and shopping. A gem for sure.

Great Beachside Location

Loved the location overlooking the sand dunes and beach. Very comfy, clean residence with a well supplied kitchen. Town center just 3/4 mile away. Property manager Katie was extremely responsive to questions and saved the day for us when we locked ourselves out! Property is pet friendly!

Kick-Back Bungalow

A very sweet, up-dated home with an amazing view. After all of the updates you still enjoyed the beach feel. Enjoyed both shopping areas but did not get a chance to use any of the many restaurants. Did find out that all recommended walking is for those with younger legs. A lot of ups, downs and sand. Katie was a gem. But the house is so well supplied that you won't have to call on her a lot. When we did need her she was right there. Thank you for sharing your lovely beach house.

Pure Bliss

All the "Cs"!! Clean, Comfortable, Cozy, Convenient. We had a wonderful stay here. Loved walking the beach with our pup and you didn't feel the need to go anywhere. Kitchen had everything you needed. Washer & Dryer were impeccably clean. My only complaint would be that we couldn't stay longer. Thank you for having us!

As fantastic as we remembered…

We stayed here almost 10-years ago; and decided to go back for my husband’s birthday. It was awesome. Such a great location. You can walk in to town, across the dune to the beach, or to the state park. If you plan ahead, you would never need to leave! ;) The house is updated, comfortable, and has all of the amenities you would need. Highly recommend. I am sure we will be back again. Someday. :)

Shorty’s Hideaway

Location, location, location. Shorty’s Hideaway is located between a public beach access and Bob Staub park. It’s near to town on a quiet street easy to walk the beach from the house or drive into town for dinner. The house has view windows of the beach grass and ocean, that fill the space with light. It worked great for two couples. The primary suite has a view to the ocean and an en-suite bathroom, lots of storage and a tv. The other bedroom is on the other side of the house and has a bathroom right next door. It’s cozy and has thoughtful hanging storage. The kitchen os l’arche and well appointed. The rental agent answered the phone promptly when we called to let them know the main suite smoke detector started beeping o the early morning. Fortunately we found the battery and light bulb drawer and replaced the battery. The agent was apologetic, we called just to let them know that we used the last battery and she said they were replacing all batteries next week. We would highly recommend a stay at Shorty’s.

Shorty's Hideaway is a chef's kiss of a property to enjoy the coast of Oregon. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay with my bestie and her pup at such a perfect home. The house was impeccably clean, incredibly comfortable, and THE PERFECT ESCAPE. Thank you so much for everything!

Great Beach Getaway

We've stayed here a few times when coming to Pacific City and it never disappoints! The home is comfortable with enough space for my teens to spread out, and the beach is literally right out the door. We love having the dunes to explore right in front of us. It feels so private! Overall, a great rental for the beach!

Amazing family weekend

A few of us stayed at Shorties for the weekend. It was an amazing time right on the beach. The cabin was clean, stocked with everything we could need, in a quiet neighborhood. Katie was easy to communicate with. I appreciated using the gas grill, in house washer and dryer, newly renovated bathrooms and an amazingly stocked kitchen. Thank you for a blessed weekend Katie! God bless!

Wonderful spot for a getaway

Everything about our stay was wonderful and easy. The home is so comfortable (especially the beds), cozy, and very clean. It has all of the amenities you might need and then some. The kitchen is well stocked. This might be one of first places that had usable cookware and sharp knives! We really enjoyed our three nights to celebrate Father’s Day.

Nice stay. Just some minor details overlooked. The master bedroom could have used blackout shades. The primary sofa was located too far from the TV. Would have felt a little more pampered if we had a soaker tub for our weary bones. We would recommend it.
