Sandcastle Retreat’s location in the Bayshore community is a perfect place to spend quality time with family and friends or for a quiet group retreat.
Annex only included upon request.
Just steps off the deck of this beautifully appointed 3700 sq ft home is the amazing beach this area is known for. Nature lovers will enjoy viewing the Bald Eagles nesting in the evergreens across the bay, pelicans diving for fish, California seals playing in the water or basking on the beach (please keep your distance from them especially the pups) and, during the migration season, whales can be spotted just offshore. We also have Western Snowy Plovers nesting on our shores, please be mindful of these little shore birds. Kids will have great fun on the sand dunes and everyone can enjoy beach combing for treasures from the sea or just enjoying the views of the ocean and bay.
Straight out from the house and to the right is the ocean side where you can enjoy walks on the beach at low tide with body surfing at high tide or just getting your toes wet at low tide.
To the left of the house you can walk over some dunes and explore where Alsea Bay flows into the Pacific Ocean. (Be aware of the tides, as the current can be quite strong, also beware of sneaker waves). Don’t miss the opportunity to set out crab pots, which are available for hire locally (please follow all local laws) to make delicious dinners.
The conditions on the beach change with the season and the weather but always offer opportunities to get in touch with nature.
At night you may enjoy a fire on the beach off the deck and away from the beach grass (please be very careful about extinguishing the fire properly, use water do not cover with sand) or stargazing with wonder at the majesty of the Milky Way.
Indoors at night or on rainy days your group can entertain themselves with ping pong, foosball, puzzles, games, large smart screen TV with wireless internet. Or settle down with a book from our large collection.
Whether indoors or outdoors kids never tire of playing hide and seek.
From the main living area you will enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
The accommodation:
5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths provide lots of space for privacy while 3 large living areas allow for different simultaneous activities and/or meetings.
There are 16 beds of different sizes to choose from, this includes the annex which is only available upon request.
Main house: Upstairs from the main entry, huge picture windows in a spacious living and dining area look out to the dunes and ocean. The u-shaped couch makes it easy to converse or play games. The fully equipped kitchen will inspire the chefs in your group to create delicious meals to be enjoyed around the table that seats 13. There are place settings for 20.
Also on this level is a half bath and owner's bedroom with ocean and dune views with king size bed, en suite bath with accessible walk-in shower.
The main level is wheel chair accessible with a ramp from the carport around the side of the house to the back deck. The ramp is a little steep and sand could make it difficult, we do our best to keep it cleared from the sand. Please use caution.
The upper level of the main house has two bedrooms: one with a queen size bed and an alcove with two twin beds and a crib size mattress. This bedroom is perfect for a family group. The second bedroom has a bunkbed (twin on top, full on bottom plus a twin trundle under). A full bathroom is between these bedrooms. Spectacular views of the beach and bay from this level also.
The lower level of the main house has a huge rec room, another bedroom, full bathroom with tub/shower and laundry room. Spacious couches to lounge on, a large flat screen smart TV and DVD, a foosball, and ping pong table mean this could be the perfect party space. The bedroom on this level is located off to the side with a queen size bed and a bunkbed (full on bottom and twin on top) offering sleeping for another family group. There is a window with a partial view of the bay. A roll out twin bed stored in the closet on this level can be moved out for use.
The annex is located across the carport. In the upstairs there is a living area with full kitchen and dining table seating 6. A comfortable couch and twin daybed with twin pull out trundle offer more sleeping or lounging area to enjoy the flat screen TV. A separate bedroom with king size bed has full bath with shower and tub. The two twin beds in the loft are comfortable for sleeping or as a play area. Many windows offer beautiful views of Alsea bay. The annex is only available upon request.
