About this property

The Whales are migrating! Watch from our deck! Walk to everything!

If you truly want the view, Ocean Bay Cottage is your spot. This great little cabin with southern exposure and a big deck is situated with perfect views of the ocean, and mouth of the Yachats River. Relax on the deck while enjoying the sunrise/sunset. Views change every six hours because you're sitting right at the tide line. At low tide you will see life unfold before you on the beach, including resident eagles, herons, and seals. At high tide the same view will provide breaking waves as well as the migration of hump back whales during the spring and fall months.

This CLASSIC beach cabin has two bedrooms and one bath.

Amenities include a fully furnished kitchen, ocean view living room and dining room, HDTV/ DVD Player, Wifi, FM tuner with iPod cable. Be sure to check out our latest addition: a recently added mural painted by Oregon muralist Corie Hinton. It is a visual treat waiting for you when you open the kitchen door.

Ocean Bay Cottage is right in town so you can walk everywhere, including at least four different eateries that are less than three blocks away, as well as groceries, fun shops and the Yachats Commons. The Yachats Area Chamber of Commerce/Visitor Center is right next to the grocery store, so stop in for a chat about local attractions. The Yachats area is plentiful with scenic areas and hiking trails to enjoy.

PLEASE NOTE: WE PROVIDE FREDDY'S (UNSCENTED) LAUNDRY DETERGENT SHEETS FOR THE WASHING MACHINE.  PLEASE DO NOT BRING  YOUR OWN LIQUID LAUNDRY DETERGENT AND INSTEAD USE WHAT IS PROVIDED. THE AREA THAT THE WASHING MACHINE IS IN IS CARPETED AND WE HAVE HAD SPILLS WITH LIQIUD DETERGENT THAT HAS BLEACHED THE CARPET IN THE PAST THEREFORE WE HAD TO REPLACE THE CARPET.  ALSO, NO BLEACH IS ALLOWED IN THE COTTAGE.

We had a fantastic stay in Yachats. Loved the view from both inside (during rainy weather) and outside (when it was clear.) So fun to watch the tide go in and out and the fog come and go. The house was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. We really did walk everywhere! Stores, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. - incredibly convenient. We would love to stay there again.

Great location. Great deck. We had everything we needed to have a great stay in Yachats! Be aware that neighbors' decks on both sides are very close. In other words, the deck is not very private. But great ocean viewing and people watching.

We had a wonderful stay here! The cottage is comfortable and cozy with a nicely redone kitchen and bathroom. The location is amazing: close to stores and restaurants in Yachats and right on the 804 trail. Cape Perpetua is only a very short drive away. And, as the pictures show, the views are outstanding! We hope to stay here again!

We had a fantastic stay here. The view is beautiful and the location is great to walk to the shops. The house did have a musty smell when we got there, but it was fine after airing it out. The bedrooms are very small without any room to walk around in. The kitchen is well equipped and the living room is comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
