This house was all about the view! We were lucky enough to see a few whales. It was comfortable although a bit dated and musty smelling upon arrival. It was great to be able to have my friend’s dog with us and have our own rooms.

Loved our stay at Depoe Bay. We really enjoyed the location, it was so easy to get in and out to go explore the coast. The place was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed.
House was nice, neighborhood was quiet, which made the time even better. No beach access, stove needs repaired or replaced. One burner was a fire hazard. And the toilet seemed as if someone had forgotten to flush as soon as we arrived.
We loved our stay. As said in other reviews, there’s no cell service, but I found this refreshing. WiFi and Netflix worked great during our stay.
Was a well equipped kitchen, beautiful view and very beautiful fireplace.
Great view of the ocean and good spot to see whales. House is old but comfortable and unique. It’s located in an out the way spot. Would definitely consider staying again.
This is a perfect, simple little vacation house for a family of four. Good access to all the local sights and great whale watching out the front windows while drinking our coffee each morning. Very clean throughout the house. Loved walking the neighborhood every morning and made full use of the local free bookshelf!
You could see whales from the front windows! Very comfortable house. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, and the beds were comfortable. The location in Depoe Bay was excellent, you can go up and down the coast because you are halfway down it already
They had toys for our kids, the doors were solid and kept the noise out so they could sleep better, nice big kitchen and easy access to lots of oceanside activities.
Apparently this year has had few whales even in Depoe bay, we did manage to see to see one right outside the window!
This house was a great little spot for our family. We saw whales spouting and loved the location for visiting lots of the nearby beaches. The bedrooms and kitchen were stocked with everything we needed. The washer and dryer are in a back closet in the garage under the house which was a little hard to find at first.

Quiet and peaceful
Only complaint is we ran out of trash bags. Other than that the stay was an awesome weekend getaway. Love the retro style!!
The location is amazing! Simply amazing! The property is old and quaint. Needs some updating, a lick of painted and a good cleaning. Some simple instructions for tv and shower would be helpful. Did I mention that the location was amazing!!
