About this property

OCEANFRONT-Shorty's Hideaway-Spend More Time At The Beach-Pet Friendly

Welcome to Shorty's Hideaway ocean front home. Just steps through the sand and dune grass to miles of pristine sandy beach. This beach house has been in the same family for all these years and has recently been remodeled with a completely new kitchen, modern appliances, new picture windows and heated floors. The open floor plan is perfect for family and friends to gather and share beach experiences or games for a little friendly competition. There is plenty of room for kids to spread out and within view while preparing meals in the fully stocked kitchen. The comfortable living room has a smart TV with a blue ray player or just hang out and watch the surf through the living and dining room view windows. Stay warm and dry snuggled in a cozy throw and observe the dramatic winter weather. There is a master bedroom with a king size bed with a smart TV and an ocean view along with a roomy master bath. A guest room and guest bath located on the other side of the living room and no stairs required because all spaces are at street level. BBQ on the east patio located out of the westerly winds or set in the sun and enjoy that novel you've been meaning to get to.

Walk south to Bob Straub Park and keep going to where the Nestucca River meets the ocean or head north towards the picturesque Cape Kiwanda and Haystack Rock. There is so much to explore along Pacific City's beautiful coastline including beach combing, whale watching and horseback riding. Bring your kayak to launch into the Nestucca River or rent one locally.

Sit on the dune behind the house and watch your kids and pets play on the beach, while the sun goes down for that spectacular sunset. Play a little, dream a little while time stands still. Reserve today and find out for yourself why nothing comes close to staying ocean front.

Pet fee is per pet, per stay. Multiple pets require multiple fees. Pets must please stay off the furniture and beds and never left alone inside the house or garage unless in a kennel. Pet limit is 2.

Great property and location
This is a great place to stay. Right on the beach and a very comfy house with all you need. If you want a fire in the wood stove you need to bring your own wood and kindling. Would definitely stay here again.

4 days at Shortys
Very cute beach bungalow with up dated kitchen and baths. Very clean, with well stocked kitchen and ample towels and bedding. One note if you are staying during winter: living room/kitchen/dining heat is wood stove only, so you’ll need to plan for firewood. Primary bedroom and bathroom have wall heaters.Very quiet street right on the beach.

Lovely beach home
We loved looking at the sea! While it was too steep of a climb down or up for us, beach access a short drive away worked. The home is well-appointed and suited for two to four people. We really apprecaiated being able to include our dogs. The main room was perfect for their kennels.

We enjoyed our stay. House was great! Only thing that would have made it better, a deck to see the ocean over the dune.

Perfect Labor Day getaway
My husband, teen stepdaughter, dog and I loved this place! It was the perfect size and location. We loved just being able to walk out the back yard to the beach. We also appreciated being so close to Bob Straub State Park. The house is well-appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed. We will definitely rent here again next time we are In Pacific City!

Wonderful beach house!
Cannot say enough good things about Shorty's Hideaway. Most well-stocked and clean VRBO we have ever stayed at - I was so impressed! The location is perfect - we walked from Shorty's to everywhere around town all weekend and spent so much time going to/from the beach. Would love to come back some day!

The property does not disappoint
This is our second visit to the property. The home is well equipped, and the communication with the management is great. I can’t think of anything that would stop us from coming back next year. We had a great time, great experience and I feel that we are extremely blessed to have found this property to spend some time next to the ocean.

a getaway to recharge and relax Aug 5th-8th
Shorty's Hideaway is the perfect getaway to relax and recharge. We spent hours just sitting on the bluff looking at the beach and Surf. Just steps away from the beach. The house was perfectly equipped with everything you need. Perfectly located in Pacific City, minutes away from Cape Kawanda and Pelican Brewing. We will be back again as this will be our go to place to stay when we go to the coast.

Great place!
Loved the location, Pacific City is a nice little town. We stocked up on groceries at Safeway in Lincoln City, but visited Chester Market in Pacific City and could have easily done it there. We also bought seafood at Barnacle Bills but could have done it at the seafood place right in town. The teak to the beach is easy going down, but a teak coming back. We discovered McPhillips beach not too far down the road which felt like a hidden gem. You can drive right out on the beach there. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook.
