The Oregon Coast is the ideal vacation destination if you’re seeking seaside serenity.
There are no big cities on the Oregon Coast. Much of the land is wild. A number of enchanting coastal towns and beachfront neighborhoods dot the coast, and each one has its own unique – and often quirky – attributes that make it well worth a visit.
What unites all of these communities, though, are the ocean beaches. In Oregon, all the land from the water to the vegetation line is deemed public land, there for everyone to enjoy. So, no matter where on the Oregon Coast you visit, you’re going to find endless stretches of sandy shore to explore.
No matter where you want to visit, nor your party size, there’s sure to be an airbnb on the Oregon Coast perfect for you. Below, you’ll find a list of some of the Oregon Coast’s best and most unique airbnbs, many of which have fantastic views or private beaches.

You’ll certainly hear the ocean’s constant roar as its crashing waves pound on the cliff face below the Salacia Chalet. At low tide on calm days, there’s plenty of room on the beach to roam, but don’t get caught out in the surf when the tide rolls in.
That said, this chalet is a prime spot for surfers as it’s near some of the state’s most popular surfing beaches and Lincoln City’s numerous surf shops. Everyone else can enjoy the waves from a distance. Alternatively, the nearby Siletz Bay is a relatively shallow body of water fantastic for beachcombing and clamming at low tide.

Agate Beach and Nye Beach are two of the central Oregon Coast’s best beaches for long walks, and The Sea Pearl sits right where those beaches meet. The house is on a dead-end street with private beach access, and the charming community of Nye Beach is only a minute down the road.

The views are equally great at night if you’re into stargazing, but remember that the yurt is B.Y.O.B– bring your own bedding. Most everything else is provided.
