We couldn't resist climbing the top of the giant steep sand dune, and I'm glad we made it! Stunning views of the ocean from the top, and it's fun to people watch too. Our dog made it too. Some ran back down, others skipped, some used sleds. It's fun either way! You'll be able to rinse your gear as you head to the parking lot. There's clean bathrooms and plenty of parking. Hungry?

Things felt a little rocky in the beginning, with the owner taking a…read morepretty stern approach to us that I didn't fully appreciate, but I think once she realized we weren't going to run amok with her horses (we DID have a big group -- almost 20 people!), she relaxed a little. Because they didn't have enough horses to accommodate all of us at once, we were split into two groups. The rides last about an hour, so those of us who were in the second group headed down to the nearby Pelican Pub to grab a bite while we waited. When we headed back, we were each assigned our horse based on a physical assessment (and sort of on our previous riding history). I've had riding lessons in the past, and love horses, so I was given the privilege of riding Bella, a beautiful but somewhat finicky horse. She was very engaging to ride... as in, you had to stay engaged the whole time or she might take advantage of you, haha. None of these horses are really the trail-broken ones you'll find at some riding companies. They each have minds of their own, though some are definitely more... headstrong than others, haha. The trail we went on took us up the sand dunes and down onto the beach, then back up onto the dunes further down. The beach was lovely, but once we hit the top of the dunes, the views were incredible! I only wish it hadn't been so foggy on the day we went, because I can only imagine how far the view goes on a clear day! On the way back, we headed onto the beach again, where the winds had turned up something FIERCE. I was pretty severely wind- and sunburnt by the time the ride was over, so please, please, for the love of God, wear sunscreen. You'll also want to make sure you have a windbreaker or hoodie of some kind on, because even in the middle of July it was downright cold on that beach. All in all, I thought this was a very pleasant riding adventure, and since the other company we used to ride with on the coast is no longer in business, I imagine that if we have another trip out there, we'll definitely be going with Oregon Beach Rides again.

I waited 1 year to give this review. The horse here are not treated well. Go ATV'ing on the sand…read moredunes instead. The ppl who run this place look haggard like they are recovering from something. They need to shut down bc their better years running this outfit is over. They run their horses over & over again without much rest. I was sized with a horse that was way too big for me at 5'2" & 130 lbs. The horse I was given, gave the woman who works there an attitude as if to let her know, 'hey, I'm exhausted, can I please rest'. This horse rode hard the whole way. I FELL OFF THIS HORSE as she bolted hard left as we went back up the sand dunes. I've been hurting for an entire year now from my right shoulder to my neck and down my arm. I felt awful for the horse that day. She was 15 yrs old & her name was Bella. I wish I would have never ridden her that day. Also, they practically make you leave your phone behind. They promise to take pics from their phones & send it to you. They don't. I think them taking the phones is so patrons wouldn't takes pics of their exhausted horses or in case you fall off one who is highly disgruntled. This place is pathetic.

It's fairly open, and not a ton of shade, so be sure to bring a canopy or something. The sites are mostly grass, which I loved as that's so much nicer to pitch your tent on than dirt. They have nice facilities too. The bathrooms were nice and they have hot showers available for $0.50 (quarters only). There are water spigots every few sites, so you don't have to go too far to find any H2O. What's great about this place is the location. It's right behind the Cape Kiwanda Inn and across the street from Pelican Brewery and the beach. Definitely a good campsite for a beach trip.

More than I have ever seen in any one place. I assume that people feed them because they were not shy about coming right up to the camper and smelling us. There is a little market right at the front of this campsite that was fully stocked and had everything you could possibly imagine. It was $10 to buy a bundle of firewood and we enjoyed building a fire outside at our site. This place was definitely a little pricier than some other nearby areas, but in my opinion it was well worth it. The showers and bathrooms were clean and the views of the beach right from the site were spectacular. Give them a shot!

My family was the first guests of a brand new 3 bed, 3.5 bath townhouse located at 36380 Brooten…read moreMountain Rd in the SeaWatch community of Pacific City. This review is somewhat long, but I figured since the vacation rental is new and there isn't much information out there yet that it could be beneficial to those researching places to stay. We have stayed at many properties in Pacific City, including several homes in Shorepine Village, the Headlands oceanfront lodge, the Headlands oceanfront cottages, and the Inn at Cape Kiwanda. This three-story townhouse felt the most spacious out of all of the them, with ample parking, an excellent layout for our family and high ceilings on the top floor. The bottom floor is the 2 car garage (with separate garage doors), accessed via Kingfisher Loop. There's additional parking in front of the garage as well as a handy outdoor shower with hot water to help remove sand. The middle floor has a living area with a couch, chair, big screen tv, and a door that leads to an outdoor deck that has a table and 4 chairs. There's also a master bedroom, a bathroom with a door in between the sinks and bathtub/toilet area, and a bedroom with two sets of bunk beds including an additional pull-out bed from one of the bunk beds. Additionally, there's a laundry room with Whirlpool front loading washer and dryer, plenty of counter space to fold clothes, and a sink. The top floor has a very nice kitchen with stainless steel appliances, an island with stools, dining table for 8, a living area with a fireplace, big screen rotatable tv and a door that leads to the second outdoor deck that has a table, 4 chairs, and private hot tub. There's a second master bedroom with a door leading to the same deck as well as a half bathroom on this floor. A separate entrance by the kitchen leads to a carport area that could fit two smaller or medium-sized vehicles, accessible from Brooten Mountain Rd. The outdoor grill is located right outside this entrance. Both master bedrooms in the home have an attached master bath with a separate toilet area, king size bed and big screen tvs. I suggest that those with movement restrictions stay in the top floor master bedroom and park in the carport so they can avoid all the stairs in this house. We stayed a week in August and found the upper floor to get rather warm and stuffy, so I would suggest opening windows and doors as well when possible. The house comes with all the supplies you'd need for your stay: dishes, cookware, bakeware, drinkware, saran wrap, foil, storage bags, laundry detergent, and even a cocktail shaker and water/food dishes for your dog! Everything is very modern and tastefully decorated. The townhouse is conveniently located directly across the street from the Pacific SeaWatch Clubhouse in which you get access to as part of your stay. It has a fitness center, heated indoor pool, and an outside 9 hole putting course; the kids in our group went there almost every day of our stay. The house is a couple miles from the main beach area which may be a deal-breaker to some, but to make up for that you get a breathtaking and unique view of the ocean, haystack rock, sand dunes, and the river leading to the ocean. Along with the oceanfront cottages, the townhouse is our new favorite place to stay. Your needs, preferences and budget will help steer you to the right place for your group, so I hope this review helped you.
