Lake & Beach House Retreat with Wildlife Panorama

Discover the serenity of the Oregon coast at Swallow The Anchor Beach & Lake House. Located between Sunset Beach and Sunset Lake, this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom property offers an unforgettable stay with amazing amenities. With a max occupancy of 14, there’s plenty of room for your family or group of friends. Enjoy a range of activities from kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing to watching your favorite shows on Hulu, Netflix, or cable TV. Plus, you’ll have all the comforts of home with a fully-stocked kitchen, bathroom amenities, fire pit, and more.

Warrenton is at the end of the Oregon Trail. Located west across Young’s Bay from Astoria, it sits on the most northwestern point of the State of Oregon. The area’s history is visible to this day.

Explore the same landscapes seen during expeditions made by the Corps of Discovery in the early 1800s. Surrounded by water, Warrenton is a charming community located on the Columbia River, with a sizable marina and Victorian-era homes. The nearby Fort Stevens State Park, which extends up to the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia, offers camping, trails, beach access, and swimming at Coffenbury Lake. Fort Stevens itself was built overlooking the Columbia during the 1850s and is now a military museum open to the public. On the Pacific Coast nearby, the large iron skeleton of the 1906 shipwreck Peter Iredale sits embedded in the sand.

Wonderful getaway!
For our mother’s 70th, she wanted to be on the beach and with her grandchildren. This home was absolutely perfect and management was so communicative and accommodating. Our mother now wants to make this trip a tradition at this home, we look forward to booking it again! Thank you so much!!

Thoughtful Details
This home was exceptionally clean. The "no pets" rule helps with that I'm sure and as a person with allergies, was greatly appreciated. The venue has many thoughtful amenities: A well-stocked coffee/snack bar, ping-pong and other games in the garage with popsicles in the freezer, lots of streaming channels to choose from, and much more. We explored Astoria and Fort Stevens, and had good coffee and pastries just down the road at the bakery at the four-way stop. Very pleasant, convenient rental. Highly recommended.

Everything we needed
The property was great. The beach toys in the garage were a nice touch. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards in the lake almost as much as the beach.

Swallow the anchor stay
This house is amazing!! Well kept, beautiful home. Lots of room for our entire family of 11. The owners think of everything. Family games, ping pong, yard games, bbq, snacks, cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc. You name it they have you covered!! Excellent!! A wonderful home away from home experience!! We used the kayaks on the lake and just a short drive to the ocean at sunset beach. We even rode the bikes there one day. Close to Seaside and Cannon beach. The only negative was the loveseat was broken and we hesitated to use it for fear we would fully break it. Other than that a definite A+!!! Wouldnt hesitate to rent again.. Thank you

Well stocked
Coffee bar and snacks were a nice touch! House was large, clean, and had everything you could possibly need. The location is quiet and central to all the local attractions. We found the house a little chilly albeit your typical spring break weather in Oregon… sunny, stormy, and even a little snow. A fire would have helped but we didn’t want to have to clean it if I’m going to be honest. The main bed was very comfortable I’m told. The other beds were a little too firm, I’d suggest a few foam toppers. As far as the rules go, they were a little overwhelming, but I completely understand the position the owners are in and feel badly for them… The neighbors are not very welcoming and it’s quite obvious they don’t want short term rentals in the neighborhood. Follow the rules and be mindful that you’re not staying in a frat house and you’ll be fine. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Great Place
This was one of the most well stocked rentals we’ve been to - kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, even blankets! Beautiful location - we even got to see elk out the window. And so much to do! We used the kayaks, clam spades, games, foosball, and the kids had a blast with the toys! Enjoyed our time very much!

House is beautiful, but not worth the communication issues
The house is beautiful, but there is certainly not enough space for 14 people. Air mattress, which was considered a “bed” was flat. Had to fill out extensive waivers to even get the key code, and was only released hours before arrival because we reached out. Very grateful to have been able to enter the house “early” (check in was 5 pm and we were told it was nonnegotiable), but not without significant numbers of condescending emails and communications from the owner. It seems like there is a lot going on behind the scenes with home rentals in the area, but we didn’t really appreciate being treated as if we were going to destroy the place and break all the rules before we even arrived. Especially because we were completely transparent about our plans and number of people. Worth it because we really needed a place to sleep after the Hood to Coast, but otherwise just not worth the hassle and accusatory tone we dealt with.

I had a full conversation with the owner before checking in and she knew that we were having a birthday/moving away party with 9 13/14 year old girls during our stay. She had every opportunity to make her rules and feelings known before we checked in. 1st of all we were flagged by security because we had to keep going to the gate to pick up kids. She contacted me, I told her that one of the girls lives in the community and took it upon herself to give out her gate code for a friend to be dropped off and we were also transport kids from gate to house as they showed up. She said that it was probably flagged because we entered the gate code so many times but said nothing about the friend giving out her gate code. Then We discovered a sticker inside stating that they are watching and they have a listening devices in every room. The girls kept talking about how much they didn’t like it. My fiancé was grilling in back while talking on the phone and showing someone that he is being watched. She actually contacted me to let me know that she doesn’t appreciate what everyone is saying!!!! The next morning the last girl came and the girl that lives there gave her code. She said nothing the day before so I thought that was ok. The owner contacted me and said that we allowed someone access that wasn’t on my registered list even if it was just to drop a kid off at the end of the driveway. Supposedly there was a noise complaint as well. The girls stayed inside and were just having a blast being young teenage girls. So, she said she reported us to VRBO AND that we have an hour to get out of her home. I explained I have to get all the kids parents there and had suggested giving the code to the parents so we can have time to gather everything to be out on time. Rather then saying no, in came a new rule, she informed me that it would be $250 per vehicle that came to her house and that I could “pick my poison”! We have screen shots of house ad and rules before our stay and the new ones she added during our stay. We have video of house in perfect condition and we received our deposit back. Before all the crazy stuff, I wasn’t going to bother bringing up the dirty sheets or rotten creamer or that you have to replace “amenities” but this owner was so overboard. We felt violated and traumatized even days after leaving. Judging by her reviews and my experience, she will try to put it all on us but we have pictures and recordings as well, that back us up.
