Moyer Beach House

We’ve been staying here since it was owned by a lady in Milwaukie (about 45 years!). It’s much more polished now, with TV and wireless Internet (back in the day it was a retreat from those things, but times change), but the value proposition stays the same: spectacular!

On our visit to the historic Moyer Family Beach house my husband and I experienced old-​world Oregon Coast beach house charm (i.e., knotty pine walls, a real wood burning fireplace) along with modern upgrades, cable TV, wireless access, and a small but very well-​equipped kitchen. We found that the Moyer Family Beach House graciously embraces its heritage and makes the most of its smaller dimensions and limitations. We loved that its well-​appointed living and dining area is completely engaged by the wall of windows facing across its lawn to a magnificent unencumbered view of the Pacific Ocean. We enjoyed watching the many terrific kite surfers do their thing right from the kitchen table and the living room couch!

This home was perfect for my husband and I and another couple. Ample dining room, beautiful views from almost every angle, small but charming kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The owners make improvements to this property all the time and it really shows. We will definitely return.

Wow, what a view! The house is right on the beach so we saw whales, seals, many kite boarders, and a gorgeous sunset. The fenced yard was great for our dog. The owners have made many improvements since our last stay in 2012. The new beds and big dining table are appreciated, and the paint job looks nice. We also liked the upgrade to the cable and WiFi service.
I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Road’s End is so close to many attractions and the beach is beautiful there. It is fun to shop and explore, then just kick back in front of the fireplace.
The cost was reasonable, so we didn’t have to share with another family to make our trip affordable. Writing this makes me want to go back again!

Summary: overall I would not recommend this house. There are nicer, newer houses or ones with more amenties for the price. A group of seven of us stayed at the house for a weekend bachelor party and it was sufficient for our needs but may not be for a family. It was clean and definitely covered the basic necessities so if you’re more concerned with location or just aren’t too particular then Moyer Beach house will be fine.
Sleeping: the house technically sleeps eight people but it’s comprised of a bunk bed and three queens so it’s slightly misleading. There’s also a futon on the main floor that could sleep two more. The beds were clean and comfortable and acceptable for a weekend.
Kitchen: the kitchen is extremely small and fitting more than two people in there would draw comparisons to clowns in a clown car. The range is small and fitting a large pot or multiple pans on the burners is a challenge. The house is extremely lacking in pots and pans so be sure to bring your own if you plan to cook.
Bathroom: the bathroom works for a weekend but would get annoying for anything longer than two days. Lots of extra towels provided.
Misc: the house does not have internet access but does have a tv and dvd player in case the oregon weather catches up with you. There’s parking for two cars — one in the driveway, one along the road.
Location: the house is located at 62^nd/​Logan in north Lincoln City about a mile from the casino. Safeway and McMennamins close by. Good location overall as beach isn’t too crowded in the north part of Lincoln City.
Property: the back yard is a good size for playing behind the house but overgrown blackberry bushes obstruct a lot of the ocean view. There’s technically a path that can be used to access the beach but it requires jumping down off a small drop-​off (~4ft). Beach access for non-​abled bodies is at the state park a few houses to the south.
Ok house for a weekend but if there are other options available I’d probably recommend another house.
