I won an auction to stay at the Captain’s House in Waldport, OR and selected the holiday weekend. I have never spent any time on the Oregon coast, so was excited to go!
The drive down was long especially through Portland, but arrived after a scenic 9 hour drive.
The house itself was okay, but the bedding was old, worn and too soft for me and wasn’t pleasant to sleep on. However, the beach was spectacular!! This house sits right smack dab in the middle of 6 miles of beach.

The first day, we walked 3 miles to the north to the bridge going into Newport and it was nothing short of awesome. Played in the surf, with other people’s dogs and had a blast. I love the sound of the surf, as it soothes the soul.

After a long day of walking, BBQ’d up some salmon and ate dinner on the back deck, watching the surf go by and the sunset! We came to calling sitting on the deck, “assume the position”. We would sit there for hours and just watch and veg out.

The next day, we walked 3 miles to the south, and had a nice day. Upon returning to the house, after BBQing dinner, we again assumed the position to watch the world go by and relaxing.

It was raining the next day as we left, but we enjoyed our stay at the Captain’s house and especially the beach. We hope to return to stay again someday soon.
