A Block to the Beach w/Hot Tub & More! Grazelza Gunch House in Oceanside

We don't want to be misleading, but the fields on this web site's
form would not let us choose the proper numbers - there are 3
bedrooms (with sleepers in the family and living rooms) and 2 baths
in this home, with both a Jacuzzi tub in the main bath and a hot tub
off the deck!

This sun-filled, 1,500 sq.ft. home is a mere block away from "the
surfer's" beach access in the unique village of Oceanside.

Upstairs:

The Master bedroom has a romantic deck for two, with an ocean view,
vaulted ceilings and a sitting
loft that also has an ocean view!

There are two queen sized beds in this room, one of which is a Select
Comfort SLEEP NUMBER© bed!

The shower bathroom is detached, with a multi-setting shower head.

The living room has a firm sofa that converts to a queen sized bed
(it is NOT a fold-out!) and has a built-in chaise.

There is a propane fueled fireplace, which comes in handy during
Winter storms (in case the power goes out) and for chilly nights.

The 3 TVs have cable and DVD (CD) players (with surround sound in the
living room for movie lovers).

Please read the descriptive text on the right for details about the
kitchen.

The dining room table pulls-away from the wall to seat 6 (4 adults
can eat comfortably at the coffee table) and the toddler table seats
two.

There is a "peek-a-boo view" of the ocean from the living room, the
adjoining upper deck and the reading loft.

Downstairs:

The Family room has cushy seating on a modern sleeper sofa, a large
ottoman for game boards plus two side tables that can be pulled-out
for coloring or dominos, a comfy reading chair, portable CD and
cassette tape player and entertainment center with cable TV/DVD.

You are also welcome to use the inflatable mattress that is
available, upon request, for a $40 fee.

We have a rechargeable walkie-talkie set that can be used if some of
you go to the beach and some stay behind (cell phones won't work
there).

Your kids will enjoy the fun extras in the many closets (stored so
that guests without kids will not stumble over them).

The Kids' room has bunk beds (with a full size on the bottom) and a
twin sleigh bed.
The changing table is stored in the closet.

Also stored in various closets are: a bassinet, infant swing, infant
carry seats and a portable crib (which can be moved to any room for
use).

The Guest room has a full sized fold-down (not out)
couch, toys and a great rocking chair. The screen is the door.

The jetted tub bathroom is down the hall, which also has a stacked
washer and dryer.

We provide enough cuddly (but covering) cotton robes for our guests
to enjoy the hot tub off of the wrap-around porch in back.

In back, a picnic table under the cherry tree is perfect for Summer
BBQs.

If a chill hits the air, fire-up the wood burning outdoor fireplace
and cover-up with a fleece throw.

There is parking for a max. of 4 cars in front of the home.

So, what's with the weird name, anyway? Stay in our home, read (and
please add to) The Story of Grazelza Gunch to find out!

This home is as suitable for a romantic getaway as it is for a
gathering of old friends or a family retreat.

Ask us for our more detailed list of amenities before your stay, to
avoid packing any unnecessary stuff in the car! We have quite a few
items that are not listed below.

The beds (including the sofa beds) have very high quality mattresses,
including cushy Memory Foam (hypoallergenic) toppers and a multitude
of pillows (including contoured Memory Foam) for extra-dreamy dreams.
One of the master bedroom queen beds is a Select Comfort SLEEP NUMBER
© bed with two remotes, so no squabbles over the setting!

All sheets are either pima cotton, Egyptian cotton or flannel, with a
300 thread count or higher. All blankets, throws, quilts and
comforters are either cotton (chenille for baby), hypoallergenic down
or polar fleece. The robes that we provide for hot tub purposes are
100% cozy cotton.

Our bathrooms are stocked with incredibly soft and thirsty towels,
quality TP, cruelty free and biodegradeable hand soap,
bath/shower gel and lotion. There are also special furnishings,
towels and toiletries for every stage of little one, from newborn to
pre-teen.

The kitchen is set-up, with everything that you forgot you needed, to
prepare either a light snack or an intricate meal! There are: a
dishwasher, a range with a decent oven, a built-in microwave and a
fridge with an ice maker. Your little ones will enjoy using their
own set of colorful (dishwasher safe) Melamine dishes, bowls, tippy
cups and utensils. If the weather be foul (let's face it, this is
Oregon) fire-up the indoor S'Mores "stovelet" - under adult
supervision, of course!

There are 3 TV's with cable and DVD players (the living room has
surround sound), a portable CD and cassette tape player, 2 CD/MP3
player alarm clocks (one has an input for your portable CD player and
the other a built-in CD player, both have an input for your portable
MP3 players) and, we take great pride in our fabulous collection of
games! High speed Internet access is available - we are waiting for
wireless companies to catch-
on to our market!

For something new, try an ocean fishing charter, horseback riding,
golf, wine tasting, buy the catch of the day at a local seafood
market, tour the many art galleries, hunt-down and learn to fly the
perfect kite, go surfing, windsurfing, hang gliding and paragliding -
all fun to watch if you cannot bring yourself to try.

Hang gliders & paragliders jump from nearby Maxwell Point & hover in
view near Three Arch Rocks.

Ride the bike trails over Three Capes Scenic Loop.

Follow the hiking trails at Cape Lookout & on Bayocean or Netarts
Spit.

The Sandlake Dunes are just 6 miles away, try dune buggy riding.

The Air Museum & Pioneer Museum are fun to tour.

The Tillamook Cheese Factory gives tours with samples & fabulous ice
cream on homemade waffle cones.

kayaking. There are boat rentals at the marina.

There are five very good restaurants within 2 miles, antique shops

pool, a public library and plenty of shopping and supermarkets in
Tillamook, just 7 miles away.
