The Lightbox - Oceanside Views of Three Arch Rocks

At The Lightbox, broad windows frame the Pacific and Three Arch Rocks from a hillside above Oceanside. Three bedrooms and an open King loft accommodate nine guests, with a bunk room giving younger travelers their own space. Gather in the view-filled living areas, light the wood-burning fireplace, or step onto the ocean-facing balcony as the weather moves across the coast. Oceanside Beach and Cape Meares are a short drive away.

The Lightbox earns its name through windows that pull the sky, ocean, and Three Arch Rocks into the property. Set across multiple levels on an Oceanside hillside, the home changes perspective as guests move between its gathering spaces, bedrooms, loft, and balcony.

The main living area places the Pacific at the center of the room. Large windows fill the space with changing coastal light, while the wood-burning fireplace gives the group a place to settle during cool or rainy evenings. The kitchen and dining area support meals at the property without stepping away from the view.

Ocean-facing balcony
The balcony opens toward the coastline and Three Arch Rocks. It is a place for coffee, sunset, or watching fog, rain, and sunlight move across the water.

Sleeping arrangements
The Lightbox accommodates up to nine guests across three enclosed bedrooms and an open loft:

First bedroom: Queen bed
Second bedroom: Double bed
Third bedroom: Three Twin beds, including a Twin bunk bed and separate Twin bed
Open loft: King bed
Two full bathrooms serve the property.

The King sleeping area is a loft rather than an enclosed bedroom. Its open layout and elevated position preserve the light and ocean outlook but provide less sound and visual privacy than a conventional bedroom.

A dedicated washer and dryer support beach days and longer stays.

The Lightbox overlooks the Pacific from Oceanside, a small coastal community west of Tillamook. Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge sits offshore, creating the defining view from the property and beach.

Oceanside Beach offers sand, tide pools, sea stacks, and access to the tunnel through Maxwell Point when conditions permit. Tides and ocean conditions determine whether areas beyond the tunnel can be reached safely.

Cape Meares is a short drive away, with a lighthouse, forest trails, coastal viewpoints, and the Octopus Tree. Tillamook provides restaurants, groceries, breweries, shops, and the Tillamook Creamery.

A vehicle is recommended for reaching Oceanside Beach, Cape Meares, Tillamook, trailheads, restaurants, groceries, and other destinations along the Oregon Coast.

Roads around Oceanside may be steep, winding, wet, foggy, or dark after sunset. Guests should allow extra travel time and use care during changing weather.
