First off, the house was clean. Like you could tell a cleaning company had been there clean which in my mind deserves 5 stars alone. The hot tub was clean and hot and the jets were wonderful. The hot tub area has curtains to make it more private and keep out the wind. The kitchen was well stocked and had a coffee pot, water filter in the fridge and new dishwasher. Laundry was easy to start as well with provided pods which was amazing.
Very nicely decorated. Clean and comfortable. Having the garage was nice. We didn’t travel with a dog but we appreciated that the home had pet covers for furnishings because it meant there wasn’t dog hair from previous visitors.
We had a short stay at this property. It was nice, close to whale watching and shops. The hot tub was wonderful and the top floor master suite was beautiful with an amazing view.
The home is beautiful,well stocked and very clean! Only downside is the view of the Travelodge right next door, but otherwise stunning views from the master bedroom. We had an amazing time and will be back again!

The property is very high end and wonderful to stay in. The views are incredible and the hot tub was a real stress reliever! Highly recommended! Comfortable beds and ample kitchen! Loved the Mezzuzah at the door! Great vibes!
Everything for this place was amazing! The response times for anything we needed was quick as well! The house was beautiful & very clean! We will definitely be keeping this house in mind for future bookings!
Lovely home, cozy and comfortable. Can’t beat the views! Walking distance to Depoe Bay downtown and easy drive to the rest. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!
My brother-inlaw & his friend were visiting… they have strict vegan diets… so having a good kitchen was a must… My husband & I love seafood so being two blocks from Tidal-Raves kept us happy… great food & cocktails and brother coukd munch on twigs & nuts to his delight!
Our girlfriend’s trip to the Pacific Northwest was only made better by our beautiful accommodations. It’s clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The hot tub was the cherry on top. We will definitely return.
Excellent location. Near restaurants, coffee, shops, etc
Lovely home with all important amenities. Master bedroom has a gorgeous view of the ocean.
We used the grill to prepare dinner and the propane ran out mid cooking. I contacted owners and they were at our door within 7 minutes with a replacement tank.
We will definitely stay again.
The ocean view was incredible, particularly the sunsets! Although there's a Travelodge behind the house, at night the house is quiet and dark. The house is just a few blocks from whale-watching spots, and you can stroll along the waterfront. If you use the hot tub and have dogs, be aware that the hot tub area has a corner that is unsecured, so dogs will need to be leashed and attached to something so they don't go exploring in the neighborhood. Had a wonderful time.

We booked, according to the map on VRBO, although i didn't look at the address til we were going there that day. Aparently, the map shows the location of the office. it was in a different locations and thats why we booked it. It wasn't where we thought, but the view from the top floor was pretty good. House was very clean.
Kitchen had all tools for cooking except things like oil, flour, sugar. Never been in a vrbo without all those things. Over all happy except the location.
The townhouse is fully equipped with everything necessary for a great experience. Clean, safe neighborhood and located within minutes of the coast and all there is to do.The beach view is nice although the best view is from the upstairs master bedroom!
Well appointed kitchen. Only needed coffee filters and firm spatula for serving my homemade lasagne. Awesome views! Telescope available to see the whales.
