The Location:
Seaside, Oregon is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most established coastal tourism destinations, drawing significant visitor traffic each year. During peak summer months alone, more than 2 million visitors travel to Seaside, many from the Portland metro area and the greater Seattle region due to its convenient coastal access. Located approximately 90 minutes from Portland, the town has long served as a popular resort community dating back to the late 1800s. Visitors are drawn to its wide sandy beaches, the historic 1.5-mile oceanfront Promenade, and a walkable downtown filled with restaurants, shops, and family attractions. Year-round events—including the Seaside Beach Volleyball Tournament, Miss Oregon Pageant, Fourth of July celebration, and First Saturday Art Walks—help sustain consistent tourism demand and support a strong market for vacation rentals.
Designed by noted Portland architect O. M. Akers, The Reunion House spans two tax lots.

The second lot extends to Beach Drive and includes additional guest amenities such as a detached game pavilion with sauna and outdoor shower, along with a gazebo and hot tub—features that further enhance the property’s appeal as a destination rental for larger groups and family gatherings.
