About this property

Historic Waterfront Home with Ocean Views Great Location Dogs OK

Summary:

Whale Vista



The Space:

This spectacular oceanfront home has a wonderful historic style, a dog-friendly attitude, amazing location on a clifftop in Depoe Bay, and some of the best whale-watching opportunities you could hope to find! Combined with all the comforts of home and enough space for as many as eight guests, this is the perfect place to plan your next coastal vacation.



Nestled on a hill just on the south side of Depoe Bay, this home is close to the town's charming restaurants, souvenir shops, Whale Watching Center, and the world's smallest bay. From the harbor you can launch your own boat or book a spot on one of the whale-watching or deep-sea fishing tours that leave from Depoe Bay. The easiest beach access is less than five minutes north by car at Fogarty Creek, though you could also drive 10 minutes south to the breathtaking Devils Punch Bowl or north 10 minutes to Lincoln Beach and Gleneden Beach. You could even go a little farther north (about 15 minutes) into Lincoln City or take an equally short drive south into Newport.



With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this home has plenty of space for up to eight guests (six adults maximum, please), and up to two dogs are even welcome with a small nightly fee. Inside, you will find antiques that complement the historic style of this 1930's house, as well as plenty of windows that allow gorgeous views of the ocean - look carefully and you can see harbor seals, sea lions, and even an occasional whale!



The main level of the house has a cozy living room with a TV and gas fireplace, a well-stocked full kitchen, a dining area, and a bathroom with a laundry area. One of the bedrooms is also on this level (featuring a queen-size bed) and a sofabed in the living room folds out into extra sleeping space at night.



Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a bathroom with a walk-in shower that is accessible both from the hallway and the master bedroom. The first bedroom offers a soft and comfortable queen-size bed, a television, and a lovely balcony that overlooks the town and the ocean. In the master room is a king-size bed, yet another TV, and windows with jaw-dropping views of the sea. If the weather doesn't cooperate as much as you had hoped, you can always enjoy a nice evening in and take advantage of the many entertainment options provided, including cable TV, a DVD player and selection of movies, WiFi access, board games, and a huge variety of books.



This home is a fantastic place to bring your friends or family and enjoy a vacation spent watching for whales, strolling around charming Depoe Bay, and enjoying each other's company. In the small town you will find just about everything you may need, though you could also drive up or down the coast to find more activities, state parks, dining options, and much more, so don't be afraid to explore!



Come stay in this amazing oceanfront home and enjoy a much-deserved relaxing coastal getaway!

Great place! Oh my word the ocean views during a storm were excellent! Got to watch the CG practice maneuvers into the harbor during choppy seas too. Kitchen’s a bit small but who cares with that view. We’ll go back for sure!

. Views and location were gorgeous! I don’t believe the dishwasher actually works. Washed two loads. Never put first load away, just added and tried again. Laundry room was great! The blinds in the living room need replaced. Could not lower one set once raised. Beautiful home but broken blinds we had to fight with was a pain. The room downstairs needs a curtain or blind on the door leading out to deck. Had to hang a sheet for privacy. All that being said…we would definitely stay again!

The views from this rental are spectacular! The house is stuffed with interesting antiques and art. The furniture is quite worn. The kitchen had no workable fry pan so we bought one. The host was responsive when we said the last guest’s dog had pooped every where outside (which we inadvertently stepped in). In/out instructions, which we weren’t given, should include the expectation that people clean up after their pets. Otherwise, housekeeping should check for dog messes.

We loved this home. The view is spectacular. The location--walking distance to Depoe Bay--is great. The furnishings are very nice. The back deck is an amazing place to spend time, even in the winter! We will definitely return.

What a quaint Craftsman style home with amazing views. We loved waking up with the ocean views and within walking distance to the shops and harbor. I wish we saw whales though as that would make it epic.

Great location and a way cool place with great views and just a short walk to pretty much everything Depoe Bay has to offer. The ocean is at your back door and you can throw a rock and hit the best Thai food restaurant I’ve been too in years!! Only issue we ran into was a dishwasher that didn’t work. Management responded quickly and was very apologetic but they were unable to address it during our stay but it was the weekend so that’s understandable and was not an issue. I only mention it as reassurance to future guests that management is quick to respond to messages and that’s a plus. The living room TV uses a Roku but requires the use of 2 remotes to operate. It can be confusing and it would be nice if management invested a little money in an upgraded unit using just one remote for both Roku AND TV. Last but not least is my recommendation that guests bring their own TP. What’s furnished is just cheap single-ply and that can…..shall we say….leave something that’s not to be desired. All in all I highly recommend Whale Vista. I know we will be back!!

Great views and wonderful for dogs.

An amazing place for a great price. Perfect for small to medium dogs. Yard is small but very well fenced. Beautiful views. Beds are comfy with plenty of spare blankets. The upstairs bathroom is wonderful and there are lots of fluffy towels. My one hope is that the downstairs bathroom gets some loving soon. Plenty of dishes for cooking and eating. We had a wonderful time and plan on coming back to this property in the Fall.
