About this property

The Overlook-Stunning Ocean/Bay View Walk Everywhere!

Whether it's a cozy get away for two or a family retreat, our flexible rates will fit your needs.
The Overlook is nestled into the west facing slope on the edge of Yachats overlooking the Yachats River. It affords an uninterrupted view of the river as it flows into the Pacific Ocean kicking up the surf over a broad tidal beach, spouting horns, and rocky outcrops. This home has it all: the peaceful serenity of ocean views plus easy walking distance to the beach or the bustling center of town. Whether you’re in the mood for dining out, watching a movie, or simply unwinding from your fast paced life, at The Overlook you will find the best of both worlds.

After viewing the spectacular sunset from the wrap around balcony or through the ceiling to floor windows in the living/dining area, you can relax in the comfortable living room, cook in the gourmet kitchen, and watch TV or movies on the 40” High Definition LCD panel TV.

You’ll sleep comfortably in the master bedroom king sized bed. The en-suite bathroom has a jetted tub, separate shower, and large walk-in closet. Downstairs the guest room has a queen sized bed and shares a beautiful bath that includes a large tub with enclosed shower. The 3rd bedroom is set up for the kids with a bunk bed that sleeps 3 and a futon that could sleep 2 more. It has its own 36” TV plus DVD player!

Leave your car in the ample parking and walk two blocks to the local restaurants and shops. You can visit Luna Sea Fish House to buy your fish or dine there. Close by is the Green Salmon where you can have a cup of organic coffee or tea. Across the street is C&K market for all your grocery needs. Yachats has it all: a Sunday Farmer’s Market, an ice cream shop, gourmet wine shop, bakery, fly fishing shop, general mercantile, and more.

It is also an easy walk to both the South Shore Tidal Beach for fun in the sand and the North Shore 804 Trail which follows along the Yachats spectacular rocky coastline. The Yachats community is especially proud of the newly inaugurated Amanda Trail which winds its way south to the top of Cape Perpetua.

Dogs love the beach and are welcome to join you (2 Maximum) at The Overlook. The balcony can be closed off so your pooch can securely lounge in the sun. There is also a kennel in the garage where your dog can sleep comfortably while you are off shopping or beach combing.

We pride ourselves on our cleanliness. All of the bedding is washed after every rental. We take particular care after we have dog visitors. Our cleaning staff takes the extra time to steam clean the flooring plus they find and remove every nose print from the numerous windows!

Come stay with us for comfortable living with a fabulous view and fun exploring the wonderful village of Yachats.

* Reduced rate nights only apply to rentals under a week and does not include holidays or other high usage dates.

We will be back again!

We have stayed here several times for spring break and it never disappoints. The location of this house makes everything fun to do in town, walkable. The view is breathtaking and the house is comfortable for our whole family. We jokingly call this, “our beach house,” because we have stayed here so much, and we will do it again!

Overlook was great

Yachats was good. Big storm rolling throughout our stay so we hunkered down, played games, and enjoyed this lovely place. Store and restaurant and coffee shops within walking distance. The view was spectacular. Watching the storm for our 3 days days was dramatic but we felt safe and sound. Coming from Alaska and Montana my family of 8 enjoyed it very much.

This is our 4th time staying at the Overlook. We still very much appreciate the well-outfitted kitchen, the beautiful view, and the proximity to the Green Salmon, the grocery store, etc. The new chairs in the living are great too!

Great Place, but be aware of Owner.

The Overlook is a well located property in Yachats. The views from the house overlook the river, bay and the Pacific and are 10/10 spectacular. The home itself, is well-stocked and comfortable. Now the bad stuff, the owner, Chris, never sent us the code to get in, so we were standing outside in the pouring rain for an hour. The properly Manager,’s number, was not available, so my son-in-law had to canvass the neighbors until we could contact the property manager. I was so frustrated, I contacted VRBO, which gave us a small refund for our trouble. The owner does not live in town, so there was a lot of deferred maintenance. Porch posts wobbly, a fireplace that did not work, as well as a microwave (the owner contacted me about that one and said she would pay for a new one, which we considered, but thought we could live without). Our family loves the small town of Yachats and visit every year, but we will not be staying at The Overlook again.

Nice property, poor communication

The property was nice and clean and the location was great. I was not contacted with check in instructions, I contacted the number provided and after several called they answered and were rude and unable to help me access the property. Finally figured it out but it was stressful and delayed our departure for vacation. I did not appreciate the 10:30 check out time, 11 is standard. There was a list of cleaning instructions not provided when I booked which I did not appreciate. I thought it was no longer allowed to charge a cleaning fee and ask the guests to clean. Traveling with young kids with a check out time of 10:30 and laundry/dishes to do makes for a hectic morning. I would appreciate this property if they drop the cleaning ask and extend check out to 11

Liked: Location

Overlook somewhat disappointing

Although an exceptional view and very walkable location, there were some misses. Missing lighting at outside entry and in hallway, out of order microwave, no hangers in closets and truly uncomfortable futons. Also beach access is a drive away and close by, walking to a beach outlook is achieved in minutes. Some bed linens had stains, some mildew-smelling towels. I paid the charge advertised and in full a month prior to our stay. About 2 weeks ago I noticed the same property we had booked for $28 less a night. Our stay was off season and spanning weekdays and weekend. Why were we charged about $30 more/ night? Vrbo and host didn’t give me an adequate explanation.. Probably would try other lodging if I visited again.

Beautiful view, cozy home

We've stayed here a couple of times. BEAUTIFUL view and cozy home. Also, it's walking distance to all the fun stuff in town. And you can spend hours at the tide pools justbdown the road. The locals are also very inviting Couple things that need improved: we never got the email this last time letting us know the code for check in or number for property manager. I sent a message to the owner via VRBO that was never responded too. Fortunately, I had saved the emails from our previous visits and was able to find the code to get in. Otherwise, not sure what we would have done. 13 days we stayed and no response from the owner. Also, the microwave is broke. Didnt know that until we pulled in. Thankfully we brought our air fryer in lieu of having a microwave. But it would have been good to know ahead of time. Also some of the furniture in the living room could use updating. Otherwise, its a beautiful view and very cozy

Central coast getaway

Great location to walk all of this cute little town. One grocery store but lots of good places to eat. The views from this home are great! Ocean views straight -on. Furnishings need updates! Bed upstairs very good. Downstairs bad. No TV in basement master bedroom. VERY limited paper products and plastic garbage bags for daily trash. Good washer/dryer cheap detergent. Limited bath, hand and kitchen towels.

Nice relaxing weekend

Great location, pet friendly. My daughter got married in town and had a bigger rental for her spouses family. I rented this for her siblings my partner and I. Smelt a little stale upon arrival but that dissipated with opening the windows. This house is well equipped with anything you could possibly want or need.

Friend reunion getaway

We gathered in Yachats to relax and catch up. It was a perfect spot where we could walk to the ocean, visit the tide pools and watch the beautiful sunsets. There were plenty of State Parks and cute tourist towns nearby to drive to for things to do. The kitchen and living area was great for cooking and relaxing. The bedrooms were nice, but better set up for a family with kids than all adults. But the beds were comfy and the rooms were quiet. We would recommend this property for a relaxing getaway.

MEMORIAL DAY GET AWAY

Beautiful location, nice quiet neighborhood. Flowers all around! View was amazing from the deck or the interior of the living room/kitchen area. Bedrooms had nice linens, tons of beach towels, kitchen was equipped with everything you could need for the weekend or longer. I would highly recommend this place for a family get away, our elderly ladies did have help up and down the stairs. But the main level was great for them, to enjoy views and sleep in the master bedroom. We had a very enjoyable time and are planning the next trip at the Overleaf :) Oh and the air hockey table, pool table and the ping pong !! So many good books, games included too!! LOVE IT!!

Lovely but olfactory issues!

The view from the property was spectacular, and the kitchen was well equipped. Walking distance to downtown was optimal, and the home itself is well constructed, which muffles any noise from highway traffic. Please note that the driveway is a bit awkward (is on an incline) and difficult for larger vehicles to maneuver. I would like to give this home 5 stars all around; however, there was an issue with check in - did not receive email, text or call with lockbox code and had to resort to speaking to one of the neighbors to acquire a phone number for the property manager. Also, there was a very strong scent of cat urine upon entry, so we opened the windows and aired out the house as best as we could. I would like to mention some minor upkeep issues that could be taken care of, such as replacing lightbulbs and some touch-up painting. Despite these issues, I would stay there again😊

About the host

Hosted by Chris Bobenhausen

Host profile image
We are a family who grew up in Oregon and now are raising the next generation around the country and around the globe. Yachats holds a special place in our hearts with fond memories of family retreats at the beach to reconnect despite the expanding boundaries of our lives.

Why they chose this property

When the opportunity arose to give our family time at the coast a more constant and familiar setting without sacrificing convenience to the town, the best beaches, our favorite hikes, or even giving up privacy, how could we pass that up? Some of us fell for the soaking tub, others for the wide view deck which lends itself to savoring a drink and journaling, a few couldn't pass up the updated and well-styled kitchen. For at least one of us, it's possible that the very short walk to fresh roasted espresso first thing in the morning sealed the deal. Our far-flung members allow plenty of time for us to extend access to our home to other families and groups of friends who appreciate the peaceful vigor of the Oregon beaches and don't presently have a permanent piece of that little heaven for themselves.
