Market Overview
Yachats limits vacation rentals to 125 licenses citywide, and the cap is full. New operators cannot get a license until the active count falls below 125. This shapes any investment decision here, so read the regulatory section before the numbers. The performance figures on this page describe the central Oregon coast STR market, the Lincoln County area that Yachats shares with Newport, Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, and Gleneden Beach. Yachats alone is a village of 979 residents, so these figures are regional averages, not a count of Yachats-only listings. In August 2026 the central Oregon coast STR market averaged a $380.97 daily rate at 81.49% occupancy. The average listing earned $8,612 in revenue that month. Compared with August 2025, occupancy fell 2.0%, average daily rate fell 3.0%, and revenue fell 3.6%. Annual averages show a recovery. Occupancy peaked at 71.99% in 2021, dipped to 57.72% in 2025, and reached 61.76% in the first eight months of 2026. Average daily rate rose from $208 in 2019 to $288 in 2025 and $292 in 2026 so far. Average monthly revenue was $4,843 in 2025 and $5,214 for the first eight months of 2026. Listing-type, channel, and bedroom counts and operator rankings are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Yachats, so this profile omits them.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Yachats runs one of the strictest vacation rental programs in Oregon. Every short-term rental needs a City Vacation Rental License under Municipal Code Chapter 4.08. Licenses are capped at 125 citywide, a limit adopted in 2017 and kept by unanimous council votes in 2024 and 2025. All Lincoln County STR regions, including Yachats, were at their maximums with waitlists as of late 2025. The waitlist fee is $25. Licenses do not transfer to a buyer in a sale. They can pass to an owner’s heirs. Annual fees are $200 for 2 bedrooms or fewer, $250 for 3, $300 for 4, and $350 for 5 or more (grandfathered only). An initial inspection costs $100, follow-up visits cost $50, and annual re-inspections cost $50. In residential zones a rental may have at most 4 bedrooms and two persons per sleeping area plus two. A local contact within 10 miles must respond within two hours, and bear-proof trash service is required. Yachats levies a 9% transient lodging tax and Oregon adds a 1.5% state tax. Failing to report lodging taxes for two years can cost the license. Owner occupancy is not required.
Market Comparison
The central Oregon coast market runs well above national benchmarks in August 2026. Occupancy of 81.5% compares with a national STR median near 55%, a gap of about 27 points. The ADR of $380.97 compares with a national median near $220, about 73% higher. Yachats attracts outdoor and nature visitors drawn by Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, tidepools, and whale watching. The license cap limits supply in the village itself. Top property manager rankings and market share are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Yachats, so this profile omits operator figures. Growth is negative year over year, with occupancy down 2.0%, ADR down 3.0%, and revenue down 3.6% from August 2025.
