The Wave Action is Unique, Exciting, and Therapeutic, especially during Frequent Winter Storms. We also enjoy our own Marine Garden View during low tides. The Charter Boats come into our view as they find the Whales. We enjoy an Ocean Front City Park across the highway from our property.

We have our own Water Geyser, out on the large Rock Formation, looking Just like the famous "Spouting Horn", located at the Sea Wall in the central business area of Depoe Bay. During high water, there can be up to 5 waterfalls flowing from that rock formation. Of course, the Ocean puts on a VERY SPECIAL SHOW during the Winter months. Especially during the storms! There are miles of picture-postcard sandy beaches in both directions, within 2 miles both north & south of Depoe Bay. The Local Charter Boats come into our view to Watch the Whales You should plan your visits to the beach before noon because the northern Trade Winds average about 10+ MPH in the afternoon during the summer months.

We are taking additional, special care in our cleaning & disinfecting of all the often-touched surfaces such as counters, chairs, door handles, keypads, bathroom & kitchen surfaces, etc. We wash all our laundry with Hot water using "Tide" with bleach.

The view was nice. The restaurant next door was open late and with the windows open you could hear the patrons. The beds wew comfortable. The restaurant across the street was a treat. We ended up going 2 times.
Very comfortable house, best bed I've ever slept on in a rental. And the view....AMAZING! it's right in front of Hwy 101 but the house was so insulated you did not hear any road noise. Everything we needed for a quick get getaway!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property, and even saw whales from the front windows! It was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and everything worked. It was the perfect place to relax and also as a home base to explore more of the coast. There was a spacious parking area in the back, including a covered carport.

Right next to Chinese restaurant, motorcycle and car sounds outside bedroom window, pretty late. This is upstairs from what used to be a real estate office on the east side of 101, dated but comfortable. Only one bathroom on main floor, so two attic bedrooms up steep staircase got covered buckets (!!). Kitchen had all we needed to make meals, plenty of board games, tv, all as described. Not exactly what we had imagined, but we had a fun and memorable time.
Such a nice cozy property to relax in. Great view, with everything you need to feel at home. Property owners could not have been nicer, more attentive, and thoughtful! Depot Bay is great, in between, and close to Newport and Lincoln City.
The house is cute, it’s like staying at your grandmas house with all the collectibles and notables the plants add a real homey feeling. View is great, restaurant across the street is excellent.
Only complaint is the restaurant next door, but gets quiet pretty early
Really great place to explore the Oregon coast!! Onwers are great to work with. We were delayed getting by air travel and the owner offered us an extra day at no cost. We loved the location. Close enough to walk to lots of shopping and a short drive to explore the Newport aquarium and all Newport has to offer. We would highly recommend this property and we'll very like return soon.
We've stayed here several times and it never fails to make us happy! Easy in and out, wonderful caring landlord, ocean views, and across the street from our favorite place to eat!
This place is a bit funky, like the landlord, with lots of non-designer furnishings and a strong beach vibe. All the pots, pans, and kitchenware you need, but also lots of carry-out menus for all of the places nearby to eat.
We'll definitely be back!

Great view
Overall a great stay. The view is awesome and the furniture comfortable. We enjoyed watching the plethora of spiders on the front windows and a few inside. Other reviewers were accurate. The owner checked in when he came to water the plants every day. He was very friendly.
We have stayed here several times before and the property is always in great shape. There were even some upgrades made since we were here last summer. The place was clean and well furnished. Location is excellent and the view of the bay is super. We saw whales every day except one, when the weather was foggy. Probably be back next year.
Walt & Vicki were great hosts; very friendly and communicated well about our stay. We loved watching the King Tides from the wide open living & Dining room windows. The hosts do mention the noise from the neighboring Chinese Restaurant & bar. They mention a 6 foot buffer that reduces noise. However, if you're not a bar / karaoke fan late into the night (midnight -1am) then I'd look elsewhere as it's right out of the bedroom window and above any buffer that may be there. Otherwise GREAT location.
Beautiful property and location. Looking directly out at the north end of Depoe Bay with windows across the wall, and a short walk down to the shops. Fully equipped with electronics, telescope, etc. Books and games. Great kitchen. Nice bathroom. Three bedrooms, with one on the main floor. SteepIsh stairs to the other two. The beds are soft and cuddly. We loved it and would rent it again!
I hate to be negative about this VRBO because the place is fine and the views are terrific. But, it's next door to a restaurant that has Karaoki nights at the weekend and the boisterous singing goes on until 11pm ... right under the master bedroom window
What a great week. Our wonderful little house had a terrific view although it was partially blocked by a restaurant but we were still able to get a look at the visiting whales every day. And the restaurant, Tidal Raves, was terrific. We had our 57th anniversary dinner there. We both had something we’d never had before and it was delicious. We ate the Chinese restaurant next door on our first night . The menu was limited but the portions we huge and delicious. The restaurant and bar is right across from the bedroom window. It gets a little noisy and Smokey but that wasn’t a problem for us. We would definitely go back again.
I booked this home because a reviewer said they watched whales from the window with the provided telescope. Not only was this totally true the home also had two sets of binoculars. I watched whales every morning, afternoon and evening unless we made other plans. The location allowed us to walk to town and view whales and seals from the sea wall and sun set walks to north point. We didn't use upstairs but the rest of the house was well equipped and decorated all seaside Gramma-core. I want to stay here every year for the rest of my life!!!!
Every morning we sat with our coffees and whale watched. The Zodiac boats would come out of the harbor and guide you right to the whale spouting. There is a telescope there and we could watch the whales and see the sea-loins sitting on the bouys in the inlet. View and location were the highlights for us.
The unit is very spacious. It is a little tired and needs some PM and a little TLC. The king bed is ready for an update.
We feel you could not get a better view anywhere like we had considering we were not directly on the ocean front.
The unit had everything we needed for our week in Oregon. Walt was available and immediately attended to our needs when we asked for something.
We had a great time here and if you have a large family that would be a great place for you to stay. It does only have one bathroom but you can work out the logistics when needed.
We only touched a little of the Oregon coast hopefully we can come back again.
This condo/house was so comfortable we felt we were at home. We didn't lack for anything during our stay. Usually there are things we think "it would be nice if there was...."That thought never came up once in the week. The sofa and loveseat were cushy, bed downstairs perfect (we didn't use the upstairs bedrooms), bathroom
was well lit with a ten bulb light bar!! There were two recliners which was unusual and greatly appreciated. They had binoculars available to use to search the ocean for whales. There was a bbq and Blackstone grill conveniently right outside the door with a bench and chairs so you could eat outside if desired. We also appreciated having a carport for the car. There are windows across the whole front of the unit and with all the mini blinds open the view was beautiful and the space was really bright. A new washer and dryer which we did not use is available. The place is filled with entertainment options such as games, puzzles, dvds.
WiFi was ok.There is a one bedroom apartment downstairs for rent on the property too. All in all a great stay.
