Seaside, Oregon

Seaside restricts short-term rentals through a geographic ‘Redline’ rule and saturation caps. STRs are generally permitted only west of US-101, subject to neighborhood saturation limits, and only one STR business license is allowed per owner or ownership entity; the primary use must be the applicant’s personal residence, second home, or other primary residential use, a structure that allows second-home and out-of-town owners but discourages pure investor-only LLC ownership. Seaside is the Oregon Coast’s most-visited beach resort town, a city of about 7,164 people drawing an estimated 2 million-plus visitors a year, predominantly regional drive-market tourists from the Portland metro and the broader Pacific Northwest. The 1.5-mile Promenade, the wide sandy beach, arcades, and the Seaside Civic and Convention Center, which alone generated roughly $28.8 million in economic impact in fiscal year 2023-24, anchor the town’s tourism economy. Seaside’s STR performance data in StaySTRA’s dataset is tracked at a shared North Oregon Coast regional level, combined with 11 other Clatsop and Tillamook county communities including Astoria, Cannon Beach, Manzanita, and Tillamook, rather than reported uniquely for Seaside, so all performance figures below describe that broader regional STR market rather than Seaside in isolation. In the most recent tracked month (June 2026), the North Oregon Coast area STR market shows an average daily rate of $384 and occupancy of 70.3%, with average revenue of $7,161 per listing for the month. Year over year, occupancy is up 4.0 percentage points and revenue is up 4.1%, even as ADR is down 2.5%. Housing data is available specifically for Seaside: the typical home value was $473,583 as of June 2026, with 71 homes for sale.
