During high water, up to 5 waterfalls can flow 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 apartment was in a great location and just a quick walk to the strip in Depoe Bay. Our only complaint was we could smell cigarette if we ran the bathroom fan and the smell of pot was overwhelming at night in bedroom. We understand in Oregon it is legal, but do not enjoy the smell at all. No windows or doors were open as it is winter so not sure why the smell would come so strong into the bedroom. Otherwise it was a nice stay.

Another nice stay

We've stayed at this property and the 3 br unit on the upper floor several times before, and, as usual, the unit was clean and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. If we needed anything all we had to do is let Walt know and he would take care if it quickly. Great view of the bay and the best restaurant for miles is directly across the street. recommend this and the upper unit to anyone.

Across the street from the bay

We enjoyed our stay even though we had doubts about the apartment being next to Highway 101. Thankfully, because of the double pane windows, traffic sounds were kept to a minimum. The bedroom is at the back of the home with a comfortable bed. There is a nice kitchen with most everything you need for cooking and a gas barbecue set up outside. We especially liked the location and being able to watch grey whales in Depoe Bay. Recommended!

Amazing location & Two Delicious restaurants next doir

My mom and I loved our week here. The view of the ocean was huge and way beyond the description! This rental in small, but perfect! All of the needs and supplies from home. There is a fantastic Chinese restaurant literally next door and a delicious high quality restaurant right across the street! Neither of which you would even notice, but you will thoroughly enjoy! We were surprised to watch the whales from the front room window, and the enclosed patio was over the top! The patio was an enclosed area right out of the front door that included a 4-6 person seating space with a table and a swinging veranda chair- highlight was the full enclosure from rain, but a beautiful view of the ocean! Bring a few groceries and enjoy a home away from home! Loved every moment!

The view was the best thing about it. The daylight basement apartment set my allergies going the moment we walked through the door. The place was full of clutter and Knick knacks, blankets and pillows everywhere. Despite this we were enjoying the great view and interesting photos on the walls while doing what we went to the beach to do. The person who let us in was very kind and responsive. Thursday evening he gave my husband permission to use the hose bib to wash his boat motors. The next morning I found a voice mail from Walt, who was not the person who gave permission for the water use. Walt left a very grumpy message about NOT using the water and how much money it's costing him. This pretty much spoiled the weekend for me. He was obviously keeping an eye on our every move and didn't check in with his manager before leaving the message. I was also shocked when their directions for taking our leave of the place included vacuuming and cleaning to leave the place as we found it, this despite the fact that we paid for a cleaning service via our VRBO reservation. I won't be returning to this location.

Location perfect/owner not so much

We lived our time in Depoe Bay! This was very close to ocean beautiful view. I however booked this 2/3 months in advance for an extended stay with my husband as this was our vacation. So property owners were aware of the length of stay ( 9 days) when arrived everything looked good.. upon further inspection we noticed that there was no broom ( and when asked caretaker for one he simply said we have the bottoms but no handles). Part of the toaster didn’t work, no proper utensils, only 1 big pot to cook in, 1 coffee filter, no extra paper towels etc, we’ve been to enough vrbos to know that yes sometimes they are short on somethings, but not like this, so we had to buy quite a bit to just fuction for 9 days. The fridge was dirty, the house its self was dirty ( cobwebs every where you turned). Ants were a problem from the beginning but chalked it off due to being so close to the ocean etc… but then they were crawling on myself and husband on the couch etc.. we ended up leaving 2 days early ( lost over 300.00 because of that) when messaged the owner told him why we left, he said we should have told caretaker… we did.. I offered some advice for the next couple who stays there and what should be there, I didn’t expect anything back ( meaning money etc..) what I got back was you used cologne and now I don’t know how to get it out? We didn’t use anything except what was provided for cleaning and using spray in the restroom. He has continued to harass me about this. Do not recommend

Vacation

The property was fairly easy to find, passed it the first drive by because the buildings are all so close to each other. There were a lot of homey things to choose from while relaxing after a long day of sight seeing; books, music, tv with DVD's. The couch though was VERY uncomfortable, after an hour or so my butt hurt like crazy. The bed was amazingly comfortable tho. It wasn't as clean as I would have liked and expected and then they expected you to do the end of stay housekeeping; sweeping, mopping, cleaning shower, bathroom, stripping the beds, etc. I paid for a host fee and a nightly fee to stay there, I don't expect to have to clean the house, they should have someone to do this. Overall, we had a great time seeing the ocean for the first time. Thank you.

We won’t be coming back

I’ll start by saying this is my husband and mine’s second time staying here but first time in the lower unit. A few years back, we stayed in the larger upper unit and really enjoyed our stay. It’s an older place but everything was clean and well-maintained. I wish I could say the same for our visit this time in the downstairs unit. I’ll just go with pros and cons and let you make your own decisions. Pros: 1. The property is in a great location and is walkable. 2. The price is very affordable. (Book somewhere else in advance and it’ll be nicer.) 3. It has everything you need but nothing more. 4. Shower head is tall and has good pressure. 5. Quiet. Most of the area is though. 6. Windows in the bedroom open to keep it cool for sleeping. Cons: We didn’t reach out to the host for any issues. There were several and we just decided to not spend our vacation time contacting the host with multiple issues. 1. The main living space has a great view but gets very warm. (Stayed in August) There are many windows but nothing opens! 2. Killed multiple spiders and there were ants all over. 3. The outdoor patio is adorable but is covered in webs and the spiders to go with them. 4. The house wasn’t clean. I’m the clean freak and my husband said something first. I had to wipe down the bathroom before we could use it. We wore socks always as things stuck to our feet otherwise. This was definitely the worst part. Cleanliness would go a long ways everywhere here and eliminate the pests.

About the host

Hosted by Walt Bone

Host profile image
Vicki & I were lucky to find this property with it's wonderful unique Ocean View and City Center location. With determination and hard work, we managed to develop this property into a place that is always complimented and enjoyed by our many return Guests.

Why they chose this property

We were very fortunate to have found this unique Ocean view, City Center property. Walt has retired from his Real Estate business & we are now concentrating on these wonderful Vacation Rentals.

What makes this property unique

Our Ocean View is unique to the Oregon coast, with its large unusual naturally formed rock formations and ever-changing wave action. We have at least 2 usually 3 waves, all moving in different directions, then they meet, crashing together, 50 feet in the air. Of course, the wave action is much more entertaining during the winter months.

During very low tides, we enjoy our own Marine Garden View. The Apartment includes a Covered, Ocean View, Old Growth Alaskan Cedar, Wind Protected Patio. With a very unexpected Ocean View This cozy home away from home is one of the very best values on the coast.
