Market Overview
Neskowin, Oregon is a small unincorporated beach community on the north-central Oregon Coast in Tillamook County, between Cascade Head and Nestucca Bay, with a population of just 205. The StaySTRA STR series for this area is tracked at a shared submarket level covering Neskowin and nearby Tillamook County coastal towns rather than uniquely for this village, so the figures below describe the Neskowin, OR area STR market.
The Neskowin, OR area STR market posted an average daily rate of $383.90 and 70.31% occupancy in June 2026, among the higher occupancy readings in this batch, with a trailing average revenue per listing of about $7,160.69. Year over year, revenue is up 4.12% and occupancy is up 4.01%, even as ADR is down 2.45%, suggesting more bookings are driving the revenue gain rather than higher nightly rates. Average booking lead time is 79.41 days and average length of stay is 3.34 nights. The area draws largely regional leisure travelers from Portland and the Willamette Valley seeking an uncrowded coastal getaway, known for the offshore Proposal Rock landmark and the 2,000-year-old Neskowin Ghost Forest, ancient tree stumps exposed on the beach at winter low tides.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are legal in Neskowin, but new supply is currently capped. Neskowin is unincorporated, so Tillamook County’s countywide STR program governs rather than a city code. Every STR must hold a county Short-Term Rental Operator License under Ordinance #84 Amendment 2 and pass fire/life-safety and parking inspections, renewed annually with updated compliance documentation. Parking rules are specific: one off-street space per bedroom (minimum 8 by 16 feet), on-site parking only, and a maximum of 6 overnight spaces per property.
The most important constraint for investors is supply control: Tillamook County Board Order #25-002 caps STR licenses by subarea, and Neskowin is one of several capped subareas, alongside Pacific City/Woods, Netarts, Oceanside, Rockaway Beach, and Nehalem, each with a formal waitlist. New entrants typically cannot obtain a fresh license and must instead acquire a property with an existing transferable license or join the subarea waitlist. Operators must register for and collect the county Transient Lodging Tax of 10.0% on unincorporated-area rentals, filing quarterly, plus Oregon’s roughly 1.5% state lodging tax on top. There is no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement. Enforcement is rated moderate and runs through county Community Development, with an online STR registry and a non-emergency complaint hotline.
Market Comparison
The Neskowin, OR area’s $383.90 ADR runs well above the roughly $220 national median ADR, about 75% higher, and its 70.31% occupancy also runs well above the commonly cited US short-term rental median of about 55%. That combination places Neskowin among the stronger-performing markets in this batch on both rate and fill, consistent with its position as a premium, low-key Oregon Coast getaway.
Property-manager-level data for this market is tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Neskowin, so this profile omits it.
