Space
Legasea on the Pond is the perfect retreat for two couples or a family with children. This home offers a reverse floor plan with the main living area and primary bedroom on the upper level and a large second bedroom on the lower entry level. The open floor plan, with wood floors throughout the kitchen, living, and dining area, creates a rich, warm atmosphere for enjoying time with loved ones in a beautiful space. The living room has the feel of a small lodge with large windows that face west, allowing in lots of natural light. Cozy into the plush leather furnishings and enjoy a fire in the floor-to-ceiling, river-rock, wood-burning fireplace while watching a beautiful Oregon coast sunset.
If you need to work while on vacation or post all your beautiful photos, just connect to the high-speed WIFI network. The fully equipped kitchen features a Jenn-air cooktop stove, plenty of cupboard space, a breakfast bar for two, and opens to the dining area that seats four. Step out the sliding glass doors to the extensive wrap-around deck overlooking the wetlands and beaver pond, or relax and enjoy a meal with the family on the quiet deck with the wetlands for a backdrop.
The beautiful primary bedroom, just down the hall from the living area, features a king-size bed, wall-mounted TV, and ample windows, allowing more natural lighting. There is also access to the vast wrap-around deck from this room and a private door to the hall bath with a tub and shower.
This level has a beautiful spacious deck that wraps the west side of the house. Plenty of seating and an outdoor table to enjoy meals on. Also, enjoy a fire in the gas fire pit or a family barbecue while watching the local wildlife and beautiful sunsets.
The lower level features a beautiful foyer with unique exposed aggregate flooring and a spacious family room/bedroom that sleeps four comfortably. Guests can enjoy a game or favorite movie on the 50" smart TV. This room features a queen bed on one end and a full-size bed. You also have beautiful ground floor views of the wetlands and can access the large backyard patio from the sliding glass door.
Hike the many trails of Neahkahnie Mountain or walk the seven miles of pristine beach during your stay at the Legasea on the Pond. This home is a remarkable beach retreat and an excellent place to create lasting vacation memories!

Excellent beach vacation home; easily walkable to Sunset Beach
Ross
Excellent beach vacation home; easily walkable to Sunset Beach. Well equipped kitchen, nice deck with chairs and fire-pit, and bright airy space/light throughout. Easy to find and good communication from property management.
Note that the master king bed is very soft, and the high apex windows without shades mean if you like a dark bedroom you’ll need to bring an eye-mask. But overall it’s a beautiful home and we’d book it again.
Nice location and the house was fully stocked with everything we could've needed
Jeremiah
Nice location and the house was fully stocked with everything we could've needed.
Nice place, really enjoyed the deck and all the birds around, and the ability to walk to the beach
Ian
Nice place, really enjoyed the deck and all the birds around, and the ability to walk to the beach. Well considered and thoughtfully laid out. We found the king bed overly soft/sinky but that’s more of a preference thing.
I don't think it could have been better
Sallie
I don't think it could have been better. Legasea overlooks a beautiful marsh with bountiful bird life, elk and coyotes. So bring your binoculars and a bird book. It is a healthful walk into town and back (approx. 2.5 miles) You can walk the beach into town for shopping or eating and home again - bring your dogs. The beach is a vibrant and vast sea scape of families and friends, bicycles - sometimes horses - and lots and lots of dogs, surfers, kite-surfers, kids swimming (in early April) huts built and rebuilt from lumber washed ashore with the king tides and winter storms - by kids and clans and friends coming and going on holidays and weekends - and family groups living full - time in Manzanita. I felt completely safe in the home and walking the hills of Neakhanie. Once - around 5 pm., we descended from Epoh to Oak to Nehalem Drive - and a small coyote walked out of the forest onto the road - waiting for our inexorable descent. That was a little unnerving.
We loved the house
Christi
We loved the house. Such a great setup for our crew and a quick walk to the beach.
Such a great spot and perfect for a couple different groups of friends of family looking to share one place
Kel
Such a great spot and perfect for a couple different groups of friends of family looking to share one place! Clean and bright. And a super close walk to a very beautiful beach. I would definitely come back again. Hosts were very proactive and professional.

The beach house in Nehalem was a great place for a family get together for five days
Jim
The beach house in Nehalem was a great place for a family get together for five days. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It is also just a few minutes walk to the beach. The house was quiet, comfortable, and private. We plan to return.
Amazing homey cabin with a great view
Laura Jane

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was way closer to the beach than we anticipated and we’ll set up for our family and our dog.
