About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Wild Coast Lookout offers privacy and a dramatic view of the Oregon Coast.

Wild Coast Lookout, perched on the shoulder of a ancient sea stack, offers privacy and a dramatic view of the Oregon coast. Hawks and owls are frequently sighted in the trees on the property, and at night, as you soak in the hot tub, you will be treated to the sound of ocean waves and a chorus of frogs in the estuary below. The Lookout is located within just a few minute's walk of Turtle Rock beach, and a short drive to some of the most spectacular beachcombing shores of the Pacific Northwest.

Wild Coast Lookout offers a very private setting with ocean and mountain views. Perched on the shoulder of an ancient volcanic sea stack, about 60-feet above sea level and with a steep drop-off on three sides of the property, it feels like you are on your own little island. At the same time, it is a very convenient 5-minute drive to Gold Beach for dining and other services you might need.

Wild Coast Lookout is located on a slope above Turtle Rock Beach, just a couple miles south of downtown Gold Beach. The few homes on the hill are mostly far apart and separated by forest. The nearest neighbor is a small cottage next door, but they cannot see the Lookout's hot tub, sun deck or lawn. To the west is a dramatic view of the coast. Several species of wildlife are frequently sighted on the property, including deer, racoons, hawks, owls, quail and hummingbirds. On most nights you will be lulled to sleep by the sound of ocean waves and frogs singing in the estuary and pastures below.

Guests have exclusive access to all areas of the 1-acre property, including a large private hot tub with ocean view, outdoor shower, sun deck, lawn and terrased gardens. Inside, they have total access to all spaces with the exception of a storage closet where the hosts keep cleaning supplies.

The owners of Wild Coast Lookout live in Alaska most of the year, but your local hosts, Clare and Mitchell, live nearby, and they are available to provide any information or assistance you might need, day or night. Just call or text to contact them. They will get in touch with you shortly before your arrival to introduce themselves.

Most folks will really enjoy Wild Coast Lookout's secluded setting, but we do not recommend it for families with young children (age range of about 2-9 years) because of concerns that they might fall when climbing or descending the ladder-steps to the sleeping loft. Additionally, there are unfenced, steep, downhill slopes on three sides of the property.

Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

September visit
We spent one week at this incredible home above the ocean in Gold Beach. It was absolutely beautiful in every way ! We really appreciated the artsy home with interesting things everywhere. The outdoor shower with hot water was lovely. We enjoyed the hot tub daily and BBQ. Really nice washer & dryer so we could enjoy clean towels. The kitchen is super well stocked with pots, pans ,dishes, appliances etc…( even spices) so we made dinner every night. We were blessed with gorgeous weather to top off a wonderful stay in Gold Beach.

Fabulous Gold Beach home
What a fun home! This is a super place to enjoy the outdoors. We totally enjoyed the views from the hot tub, fire pit & outdoor bar area. We were there in June and the weather was perfect. The decor is amazing and hard to imagine how they planned to make a small place so well stocked. Very comfortable for just my husband and I. The ladder stairs to the upper bedroom are very sturdy , the ceiling is low but the views from the windows there terrific. The area is gorgeous everywhere you look on the coast. The Arch Rock viewpoint not to be missed. Had great dinner at Spinners in town and yummy Mexican at Tortuga’s at the bottom of the hill. Would definitely go back if in the area- Communication with management was excellent- thank you!

What a great little place! Very uniquely decorated with an artists touch. Beds were cozy and owners have provided everything needed for a relaxing stay. If there is one complaint, it would be the portable ice maker did not create enough ice for one let alone 4, so simply buy a bag if needed. Would love to stay there again!

Disappointing Inaccurate Description
You barely hear ocean waves over traffic roar from Highway 101, screaming kids, barking dogs, & thundering motorcycles in the RV park immediately below, and the outdoor restaurant with loud drinkers. It’s all a unique dramatic view between the property and the Ocean! Turtle Rock is an RV park of several acres right below property. Getting to the beach means walking at least ½ mile down the driveway, then through the RV park to the beach. The “estuary” is a mostly dried up Hunter Creek heavily laden with masses of dead algae and little flowing water, not a true estuary with tidal influence. At night we were lulled to sleep by 101 traffic noise, drowning the barely perceptible crash of ocean waves, especially punctuated by highway truck jake brakes. Sunday morning coffee was to the beat of a tractor back-up alarm in the lumberyard below. In the hot tub, it’s possible to see the ocean beyond the highway if you stand up or sit on the sides, a cold experience when wet. Vegetation not cut short enough to see much while sitting in tub. When we had difficulty with the BBQ to cook our fresh fish, the owners said we could just go eat at a local restaurant instead of helping us. The kitchen is limited to a two-burner hot plate and a countertop air-frier for cooking. This location with its REAL ambiance compares to other locations at much less per day than we were charged! It is NOT a romantic, ocean view as a back to nature place to stay. Very disappointed!!!

Unique home with priceless views!
Privacy, hot tub, and a view! This home checked all my vacation requirements and more! Fully equipped with all the things you’d need and thoughtfully decorated to keep your eyes hunting for treasures all throughout your stay. There is one home next door but wild coast lookout offers a variety of privacy solutions for that and we felt very much alone at the top of this hillside. Wonderful home, wonderful views, wonderful stay. We most definitely plan on staying here again and couldn’t recommend it enough :)

Charming cabin across the street from ocean
What a gem! The exterior of the home is beautiful. I was a little thrown off by the neighbor being so close (shared driveway) but there weren't any issues. The home smelled of evergreen and had views from every room. It was very clean, warm and inviting. The property host opened the window and turned on the lights for our arrival. The attention to detail was immaculate. The bed was comfy, the hot tub is a nice touch and if we are ever in the area again we would definitely stay here.

Great place for a getaway!
My wife and I stayed two nights here and loved it. The house was spacious, well-appointed and immaculate. The property was big and felt very private. Hot tub was also very clean. Highly recommend hiking Humbug Mountain to the north. If planning on cooking or grilling, would also recommend stocking up on cooking supplies in Brookings as they had far more selection than the local stores. All in all, a great place for a getaway. Would definitely stay again.

Not your average stay
This unusual property was a great place to stay. We had everything we needed. We loved the eclectic decor and the hot tub overlooking the ocean. I wish the garage door opened but I understand why it was locked. The loft would not be for everyone but we found it cozy. Just be aware that an adult cannot stand up up there. The beds were comfy. I'd rent again.

Cozy Strategic Getaway
Logistically, this VRBO couldn't have been any better located for effectively exploring the beautiful Southern Oregon Coast. I scoured the coastline from Bandon to Brookings, and even squeezed in a full day at the Redwoods near Crescent City. The property was very comfortable, private (the nextdoor neighbors were never seen nor heard) and amenable for a very pleasant stay. Just one point deducted for no dishwasher and it being near an RV park which a little noisy on a couple occasions, but those two things would never give cause for not wanting to return. I shall return.
