3 Bedroom House in Oceanside

Shore Thing Vacation Rentals is pleased to introduce 'Staring Contest', a beautiful family home that boasts stunning ocean views! Located in peaceful Oceanside Oregon, this home’s large glass doors open to a spacious deck that runs the length of the house, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the famed Three Arch Rocks. When you’re ready to explore the beach or go for a morning run, it's just a short 5 minute drive away.
This house features 3 bedrooms: 2 bedrooms upstairs on the main floor, each with a queen-sized bed with a full bathroom located just outside the bedrooms. One bedroom downstairs with 2 sets of bunk beds and a full bathroom located right outside the door.
The nicely appointed kitchen provides all the necessary tools for preparing tasty meals, and a gas BBQ is available to grill your fresh catch. You and your guests are sure to enjoy leisurely dinners while watching the sun set from the dining room table.
When it’s time to stretch out and relax indoors, the comfortable living room is the perfect spot. Crank on the gas log fireplace for a warm, crackling fire and enjoy a movie on the flat screen smart TV and DVD player.
This home is just a short drive to downtown Oceanside, where you’ll find 2 cafes and delicious Roseanna's Restaurant. Many hiking opportunities with picture-perfect vistas are nearby: Cape Lookout State Park, Cape Meares Lighthouse and Maxwell Mountain to name a few.
Whether you're strolling along the beach, clamming nearby, catching a nap on the deck, or enjoying a fabulous coastal sunset every evening, this ocean view vacation rental surrounds you with serenity. This is perfect spot for a family getaway or a quiet trip with friends.

Summary: Nice view and location. Rental was a bit well loved but it worked for our two family crew to stay with 3 littles and 4 adults.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: the following needs updated; trip hazard on rotting stairs/deck, refer wants to stay open, faucet needs replaced -won't turnoff, garbage disposal is missing most of safety rubber, oven drawer is difficult to close, broiler pan is gross and dirty (didn't use but tried to clean), transition strip in laundry room has come off, Also no place to sit and get dressed or put luggage, the single bunkbeds are difficult to sit on and get dressed a twin/single bunk would be better. overall the laundry room may be the best room in the house. oh, forgot the narrow, steep driveway; -30% single width grade

Summary: This home was as advertised. It served our family very well. There were plenty of sleeping options. We had many delicious meals in the well appointed kitchen. The views were incredible and we escaped the heat wave in Portland to perfect windless 70 degree days walking on the beach at the most beautiful place on earth. A wonderful memorable time.

Summary: We had a nice stay at starring contest. Everything was clean. Every interaction with management was positive. We indeed did stare nonstop at the giant waves hitting the giant monoliths. The covered porch is key and hard to find in other homes in the area. There isn’t much of a view from the sitting area inside the house. We loved the access to the beach via the extremely step trail in the neighborhood. It was too steep for our dog but it was fine for us. We had one issue, the furniture. The upstairs beds seemed to be full sized, so we had to sleep separately during our stay. And the beds weren’t very comfortable. Also, we booked this home in part because we wanted to kick back and read in the cozy lounge chairs featured in the picture in the listing. Instead upon arrival we were extremely disappointed to find that those chairs had been replaced with two really low back round swivel chairs that only had one ottoman. And the couch was so stiff we couldn’t sit on it comfortably. We were here for four nights, which was too long to not have a comfortable place to sit and relax. I’m not sure if we’ll book again. If we do, I guess we’ll bring our camping chairs with us.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view sold it. The house was easy to find. Cell service is spotty but the wifi worked great. We were lucky to get rare 85° weather and sunshine, no wind, on an early October stay. Amazing! Kitchen is very well stocked! We had a great time!

Summary: We love Staring Contest! We stayed here again for our annual summer trip to Oceanside, and love this place. The ocean views may be second only to oceanfront property, but the peace and tranquility are unparalleled! Within a 15-20 minute walk to the beach, but far enough away to be away from the main flow of visitors to town. The house is very well appointed, and extremely comfortable. Communication with the owners is great, and they are extremely responsive. We love coming to stay here, and will be booking summer trips to Staring Contest for years to come.

Summary: The view was the one and only thing you cannot buy I guess. In a house at 97 degrees inside the house with no AC and no windows that stay open was super hard. No amount of fans made sitting in the living room that faces the afternoon sun is not fun. It was so miserably hot we had to leave. The house I’d recommend for young families for sure, but if you’re older and need a single level - this is not the property and to be pet friendly you’d have to have a sizeable yard to potty your pet, this house I would not recommend for a pet. It needs updating and the furniture was stained, but could be considered ok if you let kids and pets in the property. But my most hard situation is paying $800 for a couple nights in almost 100 degrees in the house and expect that visitor to endure that kind of heat is not very welcoming. We had to leave, the heat in that house never subsided by morning. Wish it had, we ended up leaving. Also, they should have reimbursed us for at least half the cost since we did travel far to have a miserable experience due to the heat.
