My husband Roy and I moved to Oregon from San Diego in 2013. We purchased our first Oregon Coast vacation rental property in 2015.

Roy is a physician, and Lauri owned commercial brokerage and property management companies in San Diego before moving here.

We love the Oregon Coast, and have now built or renovated eight Oregon Coast / Wine Country properties with 10 total vacation rental listings. We love our guests, and their happy experiences keep us motivated!

I showed Roy this property just for fun. It was not in our target area (Newport) and was too big and too expensive.

Roy's first question was "When are we going to see this property?" so I scheduled a showing. The first time we came to the property, there were river otters foraging in front of the house. That alone might have sealed the deal, but the history of the property, the world-class location and the many original details sold us.

We undertook a 10-month labor of love to restore this property and maximize the potential. MAYBE down the road, off-grid cabins or yurts in the almost 3 waterfront acres next door and a common dock for both properties. One step at a time.

We are so excited to welcome you to this treasured home, one unlike anything we have ever seen before.

Best,

Lauri and Roy

This is like being on a private island. Once you enter through the gate, you pass through a PNW rainforest on your way to the estate.

When you arrive, you will notice that the temperature is generally about 10 degrees warmer than right on the beach. Many days I am driving in fog on the 101, and pull down into a sunny paradise in our little microclimate.

The home has lots of history; it was the original settlement of Waldport and had a cannery, a general store, a post office and the ferry landing.

A lot of the original details have been preserved, and we have also converted a shop of the former owners (copper and jewelry artists) into a gorgeous contemporary home with tons of architectural detail.

Total privacy (except for watercraft, harbor seals and river otters, who can be nosy), endless amenities and a one-of-a-kind location that we are so privileged to spend time in, and to share with our guests.
