The Honu House—New Cottage Steps From Beach

Welcome to the Honu House! A quiet beach retreat, full of light and amenities. Spot the elk, deer and abundant birdlife from our deck, surrounded by nature. Inside we've designed with an Hawaiian-influenced vibe with sets of oversized French doors, pale washed birch walls, travertine tile heated floors throughout that are warm in winter and cooler in summer. Our local beach is gorgeous and quiet. We sit in a small community of homes along the beach, between the two capes, Lookout and Kiwanda. Access to the beach is now from the trail at the end of the lane next to ours. Dogs welcome now! Let me know if you are bringing your pup! The cottage is bordered by the Sitka Sedge State Natural Area providing ultimate privacy, pine forests and walking trails to the estuary. Designed for one or two couples, or a small family, there are two bedrooms with a queen bed in each. The back bedroom has a half bath and french door opening to the wrap around deck and to nature. Two fold out single beds are tucked into the sectional couch in the living room. Bedrooms are cozy with a cool vibe and have brand new mattresses for a good night's rest. This is a simple house to find what you need with it's open floor plan and light and bright space. The floors throughout the cottage are travertine tile with radiant heat, so you can run around with bare feet in the winter, but stay cool in the summer! With the three sets of oversized french doors in the main space open to the deck, birdsong floats over the sounds of the waves. The beach access is from the next street over, Pollack, with an easement just at the end of the lane and now with access to the improved estuary trails through a sandy pine forest. The kitchen has been designed for cooking! We've put a large butcher block island in the center for prep and conversation as we know we all end up mingling there-you will find a good set of knives, pots and pans and odds and ends in the generous pantry to put together a meal. You will also find a Kitchen Aid mixer to please the baker, and plenty of tools to boot. The field next door often hosts the neighborhood elk, or deer. They seem to come early in the morning and are often grazing quietly while we are out on the deck with our tea and coffee. Also in abundance are the doves, hawks, bald eagles and blue herons. The local bunnies are seen in abundance as well, keeping one eye up in the sky and the other on the grass. Enjoy your time here!!! Guests have the whole house to themselves. Hosts live in Portland. The cottage has a security system which we set in between guests arrivals and departures. Your key locks all sets of doors as well as deadbolts. Thank you. If you need any assistance, please contact us directly. We are happy to help. There is a land line mounted on the entry closet. Cell phone reception is limited here until Verizon builds a cell tower, so we use Wifi calling through our carrier when at the house. Clear cellular reception can be found closer to Pacific city, or on the beach! The cottage is bordered by the Sitka Sedge State Natural Area, providing ultimate privacy. You can access their trails from our neighborhood and wander through the pine forests to the estuary. Cycle the Three Capes circuit, surf in Pacific City, and kayak through Sand Lake estuary. Whale watching with volunteer guides is common up at Cape Lookout and up from the ridge south of Tierra Del Mar on the way to Pacific City (3 miles away.) Tierra Del Mar is a quiet neighborhood close to Pacific City to the south for shopping, groceries and an award winning brewhouse. There are rental outfits for surfing, kayaking or fishing there as well. To the north along the Three Capes scenic drive, you can head to the tidal estuary at Sitka Sedge Natural Area for a walk or kayaking trip. Continue on to Cape Lookout for a 2 mile hike to view the whale migrations in the spring and fall, and on towards more fun on Netarts Bay, home of Jacobsen Salt Co. Further along northward is the quaint town of Oceanside at Cape Meares. For cyclists, this is a terrific ride as Hwy. 101 is inland of the coast along this stretch and the road is less travelled, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery.

Coats Cottage

Our family beach cabin was fully remodeled in 2019 with all new everything. We have designed our space for families and couples looking for a quiet beach retreat with easy beach access. We are only 4 houses from one of the quietest beaches in the area and only a 5 minute drive to Pacific City. Local activities include hiking, kayaking, surfing, and dune buggies at Sand Lake.
