The state has over 350 miles of coast, ranging from sandy beaches to rocky cliff faces. The coastline is also home to six wildlife refuges, ensuring you won’t run into overdeveloped beachfront areas, and is home to small towns galore. In fact, Oregon maintains a fully accessible coastline thanks to the Oregon Beach Bill, which prevents the privatization of its beaches from the vegetation line to the Pacific Ocean.
In short, the Oregon Coast is a wild frontier where you can bank on memorable adventures and beautiful sunsets, especially when you book the right beachfront rental. Get inspired with these stunning waterfront Airbnbs on the Oregon Coast, from X to X.

Best waterfront Airbnbs on the Oregon Coast
Ocean View Bird Sanctuary (Gold Beach)
Enjoy expansive views overlooking the water near Gold Beach. This home is perched on a bluff, offering droolworthy views from the private deck and throughout the home. Even the shower has views of the Pacific Ocean. Just know that the one-bedroom rental is located on the lower level of the host’s home with a private entrance. The shared element makes this unit one of the most affordable waterfront Airbnbs on the Oregon Coast.
Orford Cliffs (Port Orford)
This stunning, modern home capitalizes on the natural wonders with its floor-to-ceiling windows. It almost feels like something out of a spy film thanks to its dramatic views. (The hosts liken it to a James Bond lair.) There are other perks that you’ll fall in love with, including the outdoor hot tub, gym setup with a view, and the midcentury modern features. Both bedrooms also offer panoramic views of the area that you won’t forget anytime soon.
Oceanfront Home (Coos Bay)
If you plan on hiking and exploring the beach on foot, this one-bedroom apartment puts you a short walk from Lighthouse Beach via a private entrance. Nearby, you can also enjoy Gregory Point and Sunset Bay State Park. The rental also offers views of the scenic Cape Arago lighthouse, which you can enjoy from the private deck.
The Surf House (Yachats)
Drop off the map at this private three-bedroom beach house. It’s located right on the bluffs overlooking the beach between Heceta Head and Cape Perpetua—you’ve got a private set of stairs that take you straight to the area’s tidal pools. Aside from private coastal access, you’ve also got a yard to enjoy the views, and a large deck with loungers and a hot tub. The home also has heated floors, making it the perfect spot to hole up for a winter getaway with rugged Pacific Ocean views.
Oceanfront Retreat (Depoe Bay)
Let’s say you don’t want a waterfront Airbnb on the Oregon Coast that’s located far from the action. If that’s the case, head to this Depoe Bay one-bedroom. You’ve got a balance between expansive ocean views and proximity to a popular town, letting you stay connected at your own pace. The apartment also has large floor-to-ceiling windows and a large deck that overlooks the water off the living room, along with views from the bedroom.
Oceanfront Getaway (Oceanside)
Oceanside is a small residential community where phone service can be a little spotty. It’s perfect for those who want a more remote escape where they can drop off the map—sort of like a digital detox. This three-bedroom gives you plenty to do instead. It’s located right on Oceanside Beach with a wraparound deck. You can walk to Tunnel Beach nearby, or head to another destination like Tillamook or Cape Meares before heading back to your quiet escape.
The Wayfinder (Cloverdale)
If you’re looking for waterfront Airbnbs on the Oregon Coast that you’ll visit year after year, start here. This two-bedroom retreat has a rustic-but-elegant cabin vibe, combining cozy features with an expansive patio that overlooks the water. You don’t have direct beach access, but Kiwanda Beach is a five-minute drive. Despite the grand views, the home is affordable and cozy—so much so that the hosts report many guests request to extend their stay.
Oceanfront Gem (Cloverdale)
Given the rugged nature of Oregon’s coastline, many rentals are located on bluffs. That’s not the case with this Cloverdale gem, which is located right on Pacific City Beach. It’s also a professionally managed rental with a host guests love, guaranteeing a comfortable stay. Given its beachfront location, you can enjoy Pacific Ocean views from just about every room. There’s also a large private deck where you can soak up the colorful sunsets each evening.
Eagle’s Nest (Nehalem)
If you appreciate Airbnbs that deliver on charm and great design, this two-bedroom guesthouse fits the bill. It’s located on Neahkahnie Mountain above Manzanita Beach in an architect-built treehouse cabin that dates back to 1985. You’ll feel the care and charm in every feature. It’s also surrounded by Sitka spruce and Douglas fir trees for a nature-forward, green stay. Plus, the Eagle’s Nest is also a short drive from Oswald West State Park, a lush and magical place to explore.
Luxe Oceanfront Perch (Tillamook)
This luxurious three-bedroom is worth every penny thanks to its open floor plan living room with near-panoramic views and its wraparound deck—including views of Three Arch Rocks. Great vistas aside, this home is also close to Oceanside Beach State Park, Tunnel Beach, and Lost Boy Beach. Consider it an upscale landing pad to some of the Oregon coast’s best beaches. Plus, you’re close to that world-famous Tillamook Creamery.
