BEST OCEANFRONT HOMES AVAILABLE ON THE OREGON COAST THIS SUMMER (2025 EDITION)
Can you smell that? That's the salty breeze calling your name, friends.
Summer on the Oregon Coast means fresh ocean air, stunning views, and a chance to live or vacation where many only dream. And let me tell you – this year's selection of oceanfront homes is absolutely spectacular. Whether you're dreaming of a peaceful retreat, considering a vacation rental investment, or ready to make the coast your full-time home, I've got some gems to show you.
I've been helping folks find their perfect slice of coastal paradise for years, and these five properties? They're the ones that make me want to grab my keys and start touring immediately. From Newport to Seal Rock and beyond, here are the oceanfront homes that are stealing my heart this summer.
🌊 The Brand-New Dream – 1515 NW Spring Street (MLS 24-1510)
4 Bed | 3.5 Bath | 3,609 sq ft | $2,199,000
Y'all, this one is special. Built just last year with that coveted one-year builder's warranty still intact, this contemporary oceanfront gem is what dreams are made of. And can we talk about that private elevator? Because hauling groceries up three flights after a Costco run is nobody's idea of coastal living.
Two master suites mean you can have guests without anyone feeling cramped (or fighting over the good bathroom). The open floor plan was clearly designed by someone who gets it – those panoramic ocean views deserve center stage. Plus, that private trail to the beach? It's like having your own secret passage to paradise.
The gourmet kitchen and expansive decks don't hurt either. Trust me, you'll be hosting every family gathering once word gets out about this place.
🌊 The Seal Rock Stunner – 8466 NW Coast Road (MLS 25-916)
4 Bed | 3 Bath | 3,016 sq ft | $2,000,000
Okay, let's be real about this Seal Rock beauty – it's sitting on just over an acre of pure coastal magic. Built in 2019, so it's got that "new home" feel without the construction chaos. The mature landscaping means you get instant curb appeal and privacy.
Those vaulted ceilings and gas fireplace? Perfect for those cozy Oregon evenings when the marine layer rolls in. And the expansive decks are basically begging for summer barbecues with that ocean breeze as your soundtrack.
Fair warning though – no garage here. But honestly, when you've got these views and this much outdoor space, parking outside seems like a pretty small trade-off.
🌊 The Storm-Watching Paradise – 525 SW Point Ave (MLS 25-1401)
3 Bed | 4 Bath | 4,931 sq ft | $3,250,000
This Craftsman beauty in Depoe Bay is where you go when you want to feel like you're living inside a postcard. Perched on a high basalt rock shelf, it's got front-row seats to that small working harbor – and yes, those are real fishing buoys bobbing in the distance.
Built in 2017 by someone who clearly understood coastal living, this home was designed for storm watching (my personal favorite coastal activity). That volcanic limestone tub in the primary suite? Pure luxury. The Thermador appliances? A foodie's dream. And don't get me started on those multiple gas fireplaces – because cozy coastal vibes are everything.
The two-car garage is a nice touch, and the professionally designed yard with artificial turf means less maintenance and more time for whale watching. Speaking of which, Depoe Bay's world-famous whale watching is literally minutes away.
🌊 The Entertainer's Paradise – 349 Salishan Drive (MLS 25-875)
4 Bed | 6 Bath | 5,024 sq ft | $4,900,000
Friends, if you've ever wanted to host the most epic family reunions or friend gatherings imaginable, this Salishan Spit home is calling your name. We're talking panoramic views of ocean, bay, AND mountains – because why choose just one stunning view when you can have them all?
The chef's kitchen means business, the walk-in wine cellar says "I know how to live," and that whimsical bunk room that sleeps 16? Game-changer for big families or friend groups. With over 5,000 square feet, everyone gets their space, but you'll all want to gather on those decks to watch the sunset paint the sky.
This isn't just a home – it's a destination.
🌊 The Cozy Cottage – 4048 SW Pacific Coast Hwy (MLS 25-783)
1 Bed | 1 Bath | 659 sq ft | $595,000
Now here's proof that you don't need a mansion to live the coastal dream. This charming oceanfront cottage tucked behind a private gravel road is pure magic in a small package. At 659 square feet, it's cozy without being cramped, and those vaulted wood plank ceilings make it feel so much bigger.
The private enclosed deck with wind blockers? Genius design for our coastal weather. Whether you want a full-time escape from city life or the perfect vacation getaway, this little gem delivers big on charm and bigger on ocean views.
Why Oceanfront, Why Now?
Here's the thing about Oregon Coast oceanfront properties – Mother Nature and local zoning aren't making any more of them. We're literally running out of buildable oceanfront land, which makes these homes increasingly rare and valuable.
Plus, with vacation rental regulations getting tighter in many coastal communities, owning your own piece of the coast gives you options and freedom that vacation rentals just can't match. You want a long weekend to decompress? Pack up and go. Want to host your kid's graduation party somewhere unforgettable? Your beach house is ready.
