Berni's Ocean View Castle - The Crow's Nest - Oceanside, OR

For amazing views, make your way up to the Crow's Nest! This intimate and cozy Oceanside vacation rental will be your home base while exploring the area. From your perch, you'll have a front-row seat on hovering seabirds, para-gliders, and the magnificent rock formations of Three Arch Cape right offshore! Plus, you'll be ideally situated to enjoy the peace and tranquility of Oceanside. Just six minutes from Cape Meares State Park and a short fifteen-minute drive to dining and shops in nearby Tillamook, this charming rental is your ticket to the beautiful Oregon Coast.

This beautiful and unique vacation home boasts new paint, furniture, art, and amenities throughout. After your day hiking around Cape Meares, come back to this refuge, make yourself some coffee, and review all the great pictures you took that day as you sink into the plush comfort of the sectional sofa. Why not add to the ambiance with a little music from the iPod dock, or, stream your favorite online station on the laptop with the free WiFi. You can also slip a DVD into the player (be sure to pack some!) and enjoy a flick on the flat screen TV. The TV has cable as well, so you won't miss the next episode of that series you're hooked on.

With two stylishly decorated bedrooms, the Crow's Nest will accommodate four comfortably (five, max). Both bedrooms have soft queen beds. Everyone will share one full bathroom. There's even a washer and dryer right in the unit, so you won't be lugging laundry somewhere else.

Pack enough supplies for meals! This compact yet fully equipped kitchen is ready for just about anything you choose to make. The lovely cobalt and white tilework make this space as attractive as it is efficient. Top off your day at the beach with a hearty, warm meal. Along with the usual stove and big fridge, your cook(s) will appreciate the space-saving microwave and the dishwasher for clean ups. And you'll be able to savor the same great cup of coffee you enjoy at home with the coffee grinder that's waiting for your beans of choice!

You'll also have use of a common deck with a grill. If you're renting all of Berni's Castle or enjoy making a few new friends, the lower deck with grill will be a fun socializing spot.

Serve up your homemade meals in the turret dining room! This is a beautiful space, the wood-lined domed ceiling creates a feeling of spaciousness you wouldn't ordinarily expect in a unit this size.

Oceanside is located 11 miles west of busy Highway 101, so peace and solitude are the upsides of its more secluded location. Kick back out on the covered deck and breathe the fresh, ocean air wafting past your Oregon Coast vacation rental.

Or, head out and explore the area. If you're into lighthouses, make the short, six-minute trip north to gorgeous Cape Meares State Park, where you'll not only be able to check out the lighthouse, you can lace up the hiking boots and trek around this amazing Oregon Coast landmark. The surrounding sea-cliffs are home to rare sea birds like Tufted Puffins, Common Murres, and Cormorants. Peregrine Falcons also nest on the cliffs, and even Bald Eagles can be seen foraging there.

Sign on to one of the charters leaving nearby Garibaldi (about a half-hour away) and fish, or take a chance on seeing a whale breach! Head over to Tillamook (about 15 minutes away) and tour the Cheese Factory, do some shopping, or sit down for a meal in one of the many restaurants there. Oceanside itself has a small but admirable selection of eateries as well, including the Oregon Coast staple: a fantastic local coffee shop.

Navigate to the Crow's Nest where you'll have everything you need for a relaxing and memorable getaway in one of the most scenic and abundant parts of the Oregon Coast.
