4 Bedroom House Just 1-1/2 Blocks to the Beach and a Hot Tub!
There is so much to do at Friends by the Sea, with 4 bedrooms, a hot tub, bicycles and propane BBQ. This house is an all seasons destination. The living room, dining area and kitchen are an open floor plan where family and friends can comfortably gather, have meals and make beach plans and memories. The kitchen is fully stocked. On the upper level you will find the laundry with a full size washer and dryer. The fully fenced backyard is in full view from the living area where you will find outdoor seating, a propane BBQ and a fire pit. Hang out in the garage and play darts or foosball or take the bikes out for a cruise around Pacific City.
It is only a short 1-1/2 block walk to the ocean where you can explore miles of unspoiled coastline, listen to the sounds of the surf and just breathe more deeply.

We loved the big open area downstairs. The kids loved the bunk bed room, the hot tub was used more than once. The beds upstairs could use new mattress’s. Thank you for our stay.
This property was the perfect place to celebrate my 40th birthday with a bunch of friends. The hot tub was great, bedrooms were roomy, and living room perfect for socializing. A easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Perfect location! Would for sure book again.

Ten of us stayed here and we had a really great time. We drove a truck down to the beach with coolers, chairs, and beach games but the house was so close it was nice to walk back if we needed anything, or to take a break from the sun. The living room and kitchen were big and open and worked perfect for our group. The girls watched Happy Gilmore 2 from the couches while the boys watched from the back yard. The beach and landscapes are even better than expected! We will be back!
Cheers!
We spent the 4th of July at this home with our grown kids and grandbabies. It was perfect and had all we needed. Plus it's a short walk to the beach, restaurants and convenience store.
We had a wonderfult stay! We came down for a family birthday and the house was big enough to not feel cramped. The seating was great as many homes offer plenty of beds, but only one couch or a few chairs. Great location to walk for tacos, coffee, or to the beach to see the King Tides!
The house is in a great location, within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and coffee. The bedrooms are all located upstairs which makes for a great separation of living and sleeping spaces. The hot tub and fire pit were family favorites!
We enjoyed our stay in Pacific City. Plenty of room for 3 adults and 4 kids, plus local family members came to hang out. The beach equipment and the bikes were great to have available. There's a great short hike just behind the house and and easy walk to the beach. The hot tub was a nice way to relax in the evenings.
It worked well for us! Nice kitchen & back yard area. Really enjoyed the hot tub & fire pit. Played lots of foosball in the garage! Easy walk to pelican brewery & the beach.
We enjoyed our stay in the Friends By the Sea home. The house was very comfortable, clean and had a fairly well stocked kitchen. The home had a very welcoming feel to it. We will be back!
We are a busy family of 5 that jumped at the chance to get away on a rare free weekend. The location was excellent - close to all Pacific City has to offer! No sidewalk to walk on to get into town, but the shoulder is wide and we felt perfectly safe. The hot tub and fire pit were awesome bonuses to an overall great house! Can’t wait to come back!
We had a great time! No complaints. Clean, pet friendly, lots of fun stuff to do, fenced back your was great for the pups. Would like to come back in the summer and take advantage of the fire pit. Mahalo!
We enjoyed our stay. The location is good except for the short walk along the busy road to get across to the beach. The walk was short and easy but I wish there were sidewalks. Cars go fast through town. Also, we could not get the three upstairs TVs to work which was a bummer. Home was well equipped with beach chairs and towels. We enjoyed the hot tub.
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The family room furniture seated us all and was very comfortable! The house was well equipped, though we had trouble finding scissors! Also there were no keys to bathrooms and we had a child lock themselves in so that took some figuring out! I would say get one bathroom key and put it on the door frame above the bathroom!
Loved Our stay and hope to be back!

We stayed here with our kids and friends with their kid plus 2 dogs. The place was a great size and location to the beach although we mostly drove vs. walking. It could definitely use some updates and there were some dings and dents throughout the house but with the price range, it made sense. The kitchen was pretty well stocked but the oven should be replaced soon. There were also a few things here and there like the can opener didn't work and the frying pans were flaking teflon. Overall it worked for us and met our needs and you do get what you pay for.
The home was quite nice and had everything we needed to make family meals each day. The home was spacious enough for each of us to spend our time comfortably. In fact, there were 7 in our group and we had room for more. The surrounding area was quiet and the beach was just a short walk away. The hot tub was a big hit and the grill worked well! The fire pit was perfect in the evening for our family to huddle around and roast marshmallows. There were plenty of outdoor seating available for use at the beach and in the patio area.
Although there were some updates needed in the bathrooms specifically, it wasn’t a big deal for us. Each room had a tv but we had so many other things keeping us busy, we didn’t use them much.
Inside the house was clean except for the occasional cobweb.
Overall, our family had a great stay for a long weekend.
We really enjoyed the couple nights that we stayed here. The check-in process was pretty effortless, and the house itself was exactly like it was described in the listing. Our favorite parts of the house were the backyard for entertaining, the hot tub, the kitchen was very well stocked with all the supplies (including seasonings, oil,) and nice kitchen essentials. The home was also clean and tidy. Our kids really enjoyed the garage game room. My only suggestions would be to add more blankets as the comforters were quite thin on the bed. In addition, the house could use some fresh paint inside and fixing of the significant wall damage throughout, the home has cameras outside which were a bit off putting considering that one is facing the hot tub. (Maybe a front door camera would be sufficient) One of the bikes in the garage was in working order and the other one was not. Lastly, home is off a pretty busy road if you’re walking to the beach with young children. The town itself is very fun. Loved our stay in this nice home! We will be back! Thank you for having us.
The house was a great location for us. Walking distance to the beach and also close to the local grocery store and a skate park. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our pets. The kitchen was sufficient for our needs. There were plenty of bath towels, kitchen towels, beach towels and dog towels for us all! In addition, it was a nice surprise that each bedroom had its own tv and the beds were fairly comfortable. Also, the living room tv had an awesome surround sound system which made it seem like we were watching movies in a theater. We liked having the garage as a bonus space. Enjoyed the bikes and there was a dune sled that our kids tried out. The house is a bit dated and has some wear and tear, but understand it’s a rental house and we weren’t particular about the condition. The hot tub could use a good cleaning, but it was still nice and hot enough. We would definitely consider staying again.
It's a nice location and the house is comfortable, but it's readily apparent that no one's ever *lived* there. You know how some house rentals are charming and full of the owner's personality? Books, art, well-loved toys, curated knick knacks... this is the opposite of that.
The development has big HoA energy, including an idiotic sign prohibiting walking the 50 ft to the neighboring skatepark* (and future playground). They're big expensive houses that I'm sure are also nice inside, but it all feels real nimby and cookie cutter. So instead of feeling like you're house-sitting in a neighborhood and helping out some homeowner, it's abundantly clear there are corporations at every step.
The house itself was clean, quiet and comfortable. But one bunk bed ladder's loose screws let it pull in/out a full inch; one bicycle's handlebars were totally loose in the stem; a kitchen stool's bolts had loosened so much it was downright dangerous to sit on; the door handle to the garage was wobbling around in the door; the garage door sensor was knocked off so the door wouldn't close; etc etc.
None of these are a big deal, they're all 2-minute fixes if you have the tools: I share them because they describe the vibe of a house that feels like it was built by a corporate algorithm and then walked away from.
It's great walking distance to town and the beach, and we had good time. But staying there felt like being part of the problem with US real estate.
And the sandbox isn't there, either.

Good Location, Not Well Maintained, Surveillance Cameras
I booked this VRBO for a family retreat. My parents, My brother and his family and me and my family all stayed. The positives about this VRBO are location (amazing location!) and amenities like hot tub and fire pit. We didn't get to use the game area in the garage because we were so busy, but it looked fun. The sound system on the TV is AMAZING! The washer and dryer are top notch!
The negatives: the property is not well maintained. The bikes were broken, the oven billowed black smoke when turned on, the grill runs super hot so we had to turn the burners on one side on low and cook on the other, You can't use the garbage disposal. The carpet needs cleaning. There are tiles missing in the bathroom and mold along the floor.
The house has many rules and they are set forth as if they are for frat boys. We didn't have any problem with any of the rules, it's just that you can say things nicely and make people feel welcome. The owners of this home are not happy to have you there, they consider you lucky to be there and they fully expect you to screw up. That's the vibe.
Finally, the cameras. It is pretty shocking to be sitting outside in the hot tub when the camera suddenly comes on. Make no mistake, you are being watched. I asked the property manager about it and she refused to directly answer my question if they took and have video and pictures of my family. I found it disturbing. Be aware.
Location and amenities make the place. But there are real negatives.
The hot tub was so great to have and enjoy, we loved it! Also the fenced back yard was perfect for feeling good about letting our dogs outside, we really appreciated that. Lots of rooms and bathrooms made for a very comfortable stay and the house is so close to the beach!
The house was great, even when we had an issue with the patio light she came right over and made the repair quickly. Thank you for making our birthday weekend special. The hot tub was fantastic!
Everything about this place was great for our family trip! We were all comfortable, the house was well equipped, amenities were as described. Love the proximity to the beach. We will definitely look to stay here again!
