We visited Roads End/Kalani Kai in July 2021 and enjoyed a family friendly home on the beach.
The 3rd floor has almost unobstructed views of the pacific ocean from the main living area.* The kitchen, though not fancy, provided all necessary cooking dishes and tools to prepare full course meals every night. There is a nice table for 6 on the deck to enjoy the view outside.
The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms (2 queen and 1 king) with very comfortable beds and bedding. There are two bathrooms that are dated, but clean, and a high efficiency washer and dryer. The highlight is the deck with a hot tub and accompanying shower. There is also a two person workstation with excellent internet access and an ocean view.
The 1st floor has two futon/twin bunk beds provide sleeping for 4, and a TV, couch, and bean bags provide plenty of space for family night movies or games.
The location is the excellent being right across the Roads End Recreation site. Walking north on the beach provides privacy and a getaway from most of the crowds south. This VRBO is close to hiking and other activities among which we recommend:
Scheduling surfing lessons at Zuhg Life Surf Shop,
Scheduling Stand Up Paddle Board lessons at: Safari Town Surf Shop,
Visiting the Devils Lake (on a paddle board or kayak),
Enjoying dinner with a view at Kyllo’s Seafood and Grill,
Taking Day trips North to Tillamook & Cannon Beach or South to Depoe Bay and Newport.
We spent 1 week at Roads End/Kalani Kai and it was the perfect amount of time. This home is excellent for 2 to 10 family members. The home was clean and in good working order. Although it is hosted by Evolve, we were able to contact the owner directly and she is very responsive. We recommend this VRBO for families who can do without fancy upgrades in order to enjoy amazing views and a short walk to a beautiful beach. We would definitely stay again.

Note: *View/Windows: We were informed upon our arrival that “at the coast, it is impossible to keep the windows free of salt.” The owners provided “a water wand with a high-pressure nozzle” to ”hose the windows down whenever there is too much salt obscuring the fantastic view.” I spoke with the owner regarding the inconvenience of this task, and she assured me that they had made a new arrangement with the cleaning service to have this done prior to a guest’s arrival. This should be the case from now on.
