Whimsical Dunes is a colorful and sunny single level with loft home in the Bayshore Community of Waldport. There are two comfortable bedrooms that offer king size beds that can be turned in to two twins with advance notice. Between the two bedrooms is a newly remodeled bathroom with a walk in shower that was built with no lip allowing easy access for those that need it. The loft is a perfect space to escape to enjoy a good book, look out the windows and watch for whales or tuck away the kids in their own little hideaway. In addition, there is a half bath off of the laundry room. Watch the waves or one of our spectacular sunsets from the ocean front deck, enjoy the hot tub after a day of beachcombing, or grill up some fresh fish caught from one of the fishing vessels in Newport!

Great property! Dog friendly, room for six, hot tub, sunsets, and lots of beach memories made. Great communication from owner & location is a plus! 5 star stay!
Ken , July 2024
We had a wonderful time during our stay. Everything we needed was provided by the host. I would highly recommend Whimsical Dunes.
Peter , July 2024
The place is whimsical and cute…perfect for us and our needs. You can’t beat the location. If I had to have a complaint, it would be they could have a couple of chairs for the deck. Otherwise, they had everything we needed. The place was clean and everything worked perfectly. The beds were comfortable and the place was cozy. Again, perfect for us. We definitely recommend this place and hope to return someday.
Patricia , June 2024
Great place and location.
Blair , May 2024
This house has a really cool interior, big beds, gorgeous views, and a great working hot tub. We loved our stay, and the hosts were very responsive and helpful.
Jenni , April 2024
Great spot to enjoy time with our son on his college spring break. Located in easy driving distance to Newport to the north, Waldport to the immediate south, and Yachats just beyond. Very dog friendly, too. Highly recommend!
Alicia , March 2024
Wonderful place and very peaceful.
Daniel , February 2024
We had a great stay! Beautiful location.
Tiffany , December 2023
An awesome spot on the coast! Great space to chill with a wonderful, clean hot tub and easy beach access. Definitely would recommend!!
Alicia , November 2023
We enjoyed our stay at Whimsical Dunes. The beach was walkable and just over the Dunes (not for someone who has trouble walking on uneven ground). We were there the end of September and the Beach was almost empty every time we went. Our 2 year old German Shepherd LOVED it!! The beds were great and the Extra Large Bathtub was very nice:) Neighborhood was very quiet when we were there. Good restaurants around - our favorite Luna Sea at Seal Rock and in Yachats! Oh, and the Pacific Sourdough Bakery is wonderful!!
Molly , October 2023
Outstanding location and a beautiful, comfortable home to enjoy it. Perfect for our family of four with teenager daughters.
Stephanie , October 2023
This place was great!!! Easy walk to the beach and one of the better stocked kitchens I have stayed at over there. Would love to come back!
Derrick , October 2023
Stayed for a long weekend on the Oregon coast. Lovely home and great location. Just a short walk over the dunes to private beach. Highly recommend.
Amy , September 2023
The location is amazing, beach is a 1min walk over a sand path through the dunes. Felt very secluded and were commonly the only people on the beach within eyesight in either direction. Perfect for a quiet and secluded trip with generally staying at the beach/home.
Rossq , August 2023
This is a great property with a wonderful view of the ocean. It is decorated with wonderful quirky touches and has everything anyone would need to feel right at home. We really enjoyed our stay.
Debi , July 2023
Peaceful setting, super private hot tub, easy beach access with miles of coast line to wander, and fun and funky art stand out at this place. My sister and I were looking for a chill place to get some R&R from our busy work lives. This spot definitely delivered. I think the max occupancy here is 6, but we both thought two couples would be ideal. It's cozy but the open floor plan gives the space a roomy feel. Highly recommend this space for the perfect beach retreat!
Megan , May 2023
Ocean views from the living and dining rooms, ample space to prepare food with all the amenities, comfortable beds, and a bathroom with a huge tub and open shower… It was the perfect beach getaway! The neighborhood is quiet the birdwatching opportunities are great if you’re into that. The hosts were accommodating and responsive. . I will most definitely be staying here again in the future.
Mel , May 2023
We had a great stay at this rental! We will definitely come back! It was clean and very comfortable. The perfect oasis to get away.
Darian , March 2023
Wonderful location with beach access. Peaceful neighborhood and great place if you are looking to relax and enjoy the beach.
Daniel , February 2023
A beautiful home in an ideal location Bedding is very comfortable which is a bonus on vacation!
Rebecca , January 2023
The location cannot be beat! Beautiful ocean views with the sounds of the waves. We lucked out with fantastic weather for it being November. We got to enjoy the sunshine whether inside or out. Would stay here again!
Virginia , November 2022
Perfect for a couple and there dog or even a family. The place is cozy and a great location!
Caylah , November 2022
We stayed here with my parents and our 11 month old daughter. It was a beautiful home and an even better location. We will definitely be back soon!
JESSICA , October 2022
Had a great 4 night stay in Waldport. All communication with Sweet Homes was aways prompt & helpful. Was a great location and, although the house is located in a neighborhood betwee two other houses, we never even saw the neighbors and had a very quiet, private stay. That may have been due to time of year (late October), but regadless it was a very enjoyable week and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future!
Elliot , October 2022
We had a lovely stay at the Whimsical Dunes property with our adult children.
Jody , August 2022
What a cute & quirky home! We found ourselves noticing something new/different each day. Sweet Homes was great when we realized the hot tub wasn’t working—they came out promptly and we enjoyed several AMAZING nights staring up at billions of stars in the darkest sky—seeing the Milky Way. The proximity to whale watching/fishing/crabbing in Depoe Bay/Newport was great. Easy beach access and it was fun going through the dunes to get there.
Kelly , August 2022
Amazing location, the home was amazing had everything we needed, wish I didn’t have to leave!
Corey , August 2022
A great ocean front home. Perfect for a couple and their dog. Very dog-friendly area. The house has a lot of entertainment options with movies, board games, hot tub, beach access, and gorgeous ocean views.
Jayme , June 2022
We so enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well equipped. The gated deck area was a favorite feature, and the outdoor shower with hot water for washing off the pups was great! Loved the hot tub and the quiet location.
Jennifer , June 2022
Super cute place.
Tyson , June 2022
We enjoyed our short stay. The place is immaculate and well-appointed. The sand dunes and beach access right out the back door was so convenient
Richard , May 2022
This place was nice, beach access was good, but is a short walk. overall it was clean and had everything you need.
Andrew , May 2022
This home was exactly as listed. Plenty of room for a family of 4. Steps away from the sand was great. A bonus was this area of the beach was extremely quiet unlike other areas of the Oregon coast. I would definitely recommend it.
James , May 2022
Wow this property is absolutely incredible! We had such an incredible time reconnecting as a family and just slowing down. It was so peaceful and the house was incredible! Definitely recommend!
Thomas, July 2021
The house was clean, bright and very comfortable for our stay. The only thing that we long for was some sort of small kitchen pantry for items that people may forget often when they travel. Luckily the store up on the highway is well-stocked and they had baking to save the day.
Eric, April 2021
No surprises. Clean, well equipped, quiet retreat. It checked all the boxes, deck, ocean access and view, hot tub, soaking tub, big screen TV, spacious & airy open floor plan. Funky chic in a good way. If you are looking for expensive elegance, maybe look elsewhere. But it you are happy with a comfortable and congenial place to chill, this fits the bill quite well.
Neal, May 2021
The house is perfectly located on a beautiful stretch of beach. Loved the interior. Kitchen cookware/utensils could be cleaner, but I find that to be the case at many rentals. The home was just the right size for our family of 5. We spent the day in Newport and a day in Florence renting ATVs near the Oregon Dunes National Park. We loved our vacation and would stay again.
Stefanie, April 2021
nice beach access
Sarah, March 2021
We had a wonderful stay at Whimsical Dunes! It was very clean, comfortable and fit our family of 5 perfectly. It was decorated nicely, we loved the fun decor! There are nice views of the ocean from the house and the beach access is easy. We enjoyed the huge beach which was not very crowded at all, even during a sunny day during spring break. There is a great selection of movies and a big TV for watching movies or a sports game in the evening. The Sweet Homes team was wonderful and made everything easy. I would highly recommend this home. We home to be back soon!
Elizabeth, March 2021
We loved our stay at Whimsical Dunes. The location is quiet and perfect for a relaxing vacation.
Jay December 2020
Whimsical Dunes was perfect for our family of four. The beach access is easy to access, we loved the enclosed deck with the great hot tub, and the kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed to cook. We also enjoyed all the fun board games and appreciated the washer and dryer. It is a great beach house!
Jennifer December 2020
The property was great, clean, and so dog friendly. We didn't realize it until we arrived, but the porch with the hot tub is fully enclosed, making it easy to enjoy the hot tub knowing our pup wouldn't try to run off to the beach without us. The beach access is so easy and short, and the beach itself beautiful. We will be back!
Devin November 2020
