Welcome to Heron's Hearth

About the Bungalow:

We’ve specifically designed this inviting space to be a cozy retreat after a day of adventures beach-combing, exploring, or simply taking in the breathtaking views. We provide two free Wilderness Systems sit-on-top kayaks with kayak carts, paddles, surf body-boards, beach chairs, umbrella, and beach cooler. Curl up with a book by the Vermont Castings wood-stove, cook a delicious meal in the new fully equipped kitchen, or enjoy the serenity and ocean views right from the comfort of your own space.

A private keyed entry makes arrival simple and easy to begin your retreat. Sit back in your Adirondack chair and enjoy watching the Pacific Ocean waves rolling ashore from the front deck while listening to the small gentle creek trickle beside the property.

Your comfort and health are essential and important considerations. Both king and queen beds have Tempur-Pedic mattresses fitted with soft high quality linens that are professionally cleaned. Our American Leather King Comfort Sleeper® features 8" more sleeping space than a traditional sleeper with a true 80" of sleeping space on a 4" plush, high-density Tempur-Pedic® mattress. Low fragrance eco-friendly cleaning supplies are used to ensure an enjoyable stay for guests with sensitivities.

A warm water hose & dry towels are easily located right outside the side deck, great for washing sand off your shoes and your dog's paws. Whatever your adventure, Heron's Hearth is your special home away from home after a day adventuring or combing the beach.

Our Kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you to easily prepare any meal.



About Cape Meares:

Cape Meares is a hidden gem on the Oregon Coast, a peaceful community where the forest and dramatic ocean cliffs meet the sea. Known for its quiet beaches, protected costal bird habitat, stunning coastal views, local fishing and lake access and the iconic Cape Meares Lighthouse, this tiny town offers the perfect blend of nature, adventure, and relaxation. Whether you're poking at sea anemones and star fish in the tide pools, mushroom hiking through the lush forest, or just soaking in the sunset from the beach, Cape Meares will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Cape Meares is a designated dark night skies area and known to be one of the best places to view the stars, planets, and milky-way.

The best part? Heron’s Hearth is just steps away from the beach! Whether you're an early riser wanting to catch a glimpse at the local elk on the beach, the sunset over the Pacific, or you prefer an evening stroll along the shore, the beach is practically at your doorstep. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for the local herons—our feathered neighbors and the deer who walk by the house every night!

We want your time here to be relaxing and carefree. Please let us know if you have any questions. We are here for you.

A great stay for a couple! Lovely space and features. We had sunny weather but got to use the wood stove on a rainy day and it is was very cozy. Kitchen had everything we needed for all the cooking we did (a lot) and everything was very easy, overall. We had a very relaxing stay. We love Cape Meares and will be back!

One of the most well appointed homes we've rented! It was easy to get into Tillamook to pick up any supplies. Perfect for a couple and our dog. Loved hearing the ocean. Relaxing, peaceful, and enjoyed the beaches and hikes. Next time we'll take the kayaks on the lake. Looked like a great place but we forgot the dog's life jacket. We truly enjoyed our stay and we'll be back!

This is probably one of the nicest places we have stayed on the beach. Everything was so very well thought out. Loved all the dimmable beautiful lamps and auto blinds. Kitchen is well stocked. Great deck to watch the sunsets. Easy access to the amazing beach. Bed very comfy. Outdoors, the hot/cold hose helped us keep Miss Mollys paws clean. Loved it!

From the moment we arrived, we were completely captivated. The location is unbeatable, steps from the beach and a stone’s throw from lovely Tillamook Bay.The cottage is a charming gem, filled with personality…with every amenity considered. There’s a wonderful sense of warmth and character that makes you feel instantly at home while the host’s artistic sensibility was on display in each room.One of the highlights was the breezy porch, perfect for reading, sipping coffee or soaking in the sunsets. We can’t wait to return. It’s the kind of place that lingers in your memory long after you leave.

Perfect Coast Getaway

I wanted a quiet coastal getaway close to nature and this was the perfect fit! Skip was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The home has a spacious living room and porch. It is beautifully furnished and the kitchen is well stocked and even has sharp knives! The sofa bed is very comfy. The beach is a short walk away and there were so few people there it almost felt like a private beach. It was great to watch the birds and explore the tidepools. Next time I look forward to taking the kayaks to the lake and visiting the lily pads. The home is warm, welcoming, clean, and has everything you need. The little town and neighbors are quaint and friendly. I'd highly recommend this gem!

A True Home Away from Home by the Ocean

I needed a brief getaway to recharge, and Skip’s place was everything I needed and more. I was working remotely during my stay, and the WiFi was consistently fast and reliable — a huge plus for anyone needing to take video calls or get work done while away.Both nights, I slept incredibly well. The King-sized pullout sofa surprised me — it’s genuinely the most comfortable pull-out I’ve ever slept on, easily as good as (or better than) a regular bed. Skip and Zoe clearly spared no expense in ensuring guests are as comfortable as possible.The kitchen was another highlight. I cooked all weekend, and it had everything I needed — well-stocked, clean, and thoughtfully arranged. The location is ideal too: just a short 3-minute walk to a beautiful beach and amazing forest hiking trails. You can even see the ocean and hear the waves right from the property, which was incredibly peaceful. Plus, the kayaks were a fantastic bonus that made the trip even more memorable.I’m already looking forward to my next stay here. I can't recommend this place enough — Skip and Zoe have created a truly special retreat!

Skip and Zoe were wonderful hosts, and their little getaway at Heron's Hearth in Cape Meares was exactly what we were looking for! Cozy, clean, and comfortable, we spent a lot of time reading inside, enjoying the ocean breeze from the many windows, and walks on the beach with our dogs. We love this community, and we loved our stay at Heron's Hearth. We will definitely be back!
