About this house rental
Gardner Family House #1
If you’re wishing for time to watch the ocean crash on rock, pelicans and seabirds fish and whales roll through the swell, Gardner Family House’s upstairs unit will give you the perfect perch over the south shore of Depoe Bay. You can overlook
boats braving the surge and surf as they motor in and out of Depoe Bay harbor. The kelp beds just off your backyard are attractive to seals, birds and the occasional whale, and you’re likely to see lots of spouting from whales around and beyond the bay. You’ll love the big picture windows looking north and west in the living room, and you’ll be very comfortable in the reclining chairs and the sofa, which folds out to a queen sleeper. A TV/DVD and wood-burning fireplace will keep you cozy and
entertained after the brilliant sunset fades in the west. You really can’t escape the stunning view: the dining room has a west-facing picture window, you can watch whales in two directions from the fully equipped kitchen and you can sit in bed and
watch the gulls wheeling in the morning light from either bedroom. Walk across the harbor bridge to the breakfront, enjoy investigating the row of Depoe Bay’s interesting shops or catch a Zodiac whale-watching boat across the street. There’s
Thai food across the highway or seafood at the Spouting Horn or Tidal Raves. Everything you need for a great vacation is within walking distance and you’re a half hour from Newport or Lincoln City by car. Don’t miss the unforgettable magic of this
wonderful location—book today!

Overall the property and the stay was excellent. The only think that it needed is that the blinds in the bedroom were in need of repair. They didn't close.

This house was absolutely everything!! Who doesn’t love an amazing ocean view when eating dinner, enjoying the fire place or even doing the dishes! During our stay the weather was horrible and all of our plans were cancelled but, we made the most of Depoe Bay staying here was exactly what we needed! Will definitely be booking again!

My wife and I stayed with her sister and husband.
It was a working vacation for me, but a true vacation for the rest of the family.
We absolutely love this location and have been there three times over the last couple of years. There has recently been some great upgrades to the kitchen and bathroom.
Being pet friendly is a great add!

The ocean views from this house are awesome!! Parking can be a little tricky during busy times but not enough of an issue to worry about once you kick back in one of the recliners and enjoy the view

This property was in a picture-perfect location. Enjoyed looking out at the ocean and looking for whales that may appear. The unit appeared to be in the process of being updated, hopefully the carpeting will be updated soon.

This was a beautiful location to bring mother and mother-in-law. Would love to return during stormy weather to watch the waves.

A friend and I stayed in this beautiful home. We spent hours sitting in the recliners watching boats go in and out of the harbor, whales spouting & breaching, seals playing in the surf, people fishing below, and waves pounding the rock below. It was such a wonderful and relaxing time. Highly recommend!

Great job on the remodel and adding a half bath! Great addition. Shower a bit challenging to not be blasted with cold water at start and keeping the water from getting outside the shower area, but very pretty and improvement over what was there before.

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at the Gardner House property. The house was immaculate and had all that we needed for a cozy stay. 1 block walk to town shops. View of the ocean was spectacular with the sound of the waves ever present in the home. We all enjoyed our stay!

House is within walking distance to downtown Depoe Bay. The view is wonderful. We were able to view the opening of the channel to the harbor. Good for boat watching! We will come stay here again.

We loved the view in just about every room!! The house was old and needs some work but it was so cute and we loved it!! It felt like a home and not just some rental. We will definitely try to rent this home again.

Check in was very easy. Home was clean and has a relaxing vibe that makes you feel right at home. The views were incredible. We were able to watch the whale right from the home. Location was great with easy access to great restaurants and coffee shops. Would recommend this home to any family looking for a relaxing time. Beach access was a short drive. Great memories were made!

It was an amazing view and the beds were really comfortable. The recliners are a little outdated and not that comfortable but we really enjoyed our stay.. It’s a close walk to the little shops.

Beautiful ocean views
The views are stunning and the proximity to town is a perfect afternoon walk. Plus walking around the neighborhood was pleasant. There were plenty of kitchen supplies for cooking meals, although the stove and fridge and microwave are a little antiquated. Sometimes the burners didnt work, but the kitchen and bath had a charming vintage feel to it.
the only complaint i would have is the dirty carpets. They charged us $90 to bring our 2 dogs and from the looks of it, almost everyone brings their dogs. There were 15-20 dark pet stains throughout the home. you would think with the amount they charge to stay and bring our pets they could shampoo the carpets so they are fresh when the next guest arrive. Heck I bought a carpet cleaner for $100 for my home. So technically they could purchase one with our pet deposit we just paid and clean the carpets between guests.
The gals through the service were very nice and pleasant to work with. We would stay there again because of the views and location. But maybe inquire if the carpet have been shampooed recently.

We loved it
This property has fantastic views that you can watch the boats coming in and out of the Depoe Bay harbor. Cleanliness is super important to us and this rental met our standards. The kitchen and bathroom are definitely dated but clean and that’s what matters. The property manager was quick to respond when we couldn’t figure out the door lockbox and checked to see if everything was going well. Very attentive. We would definitely recommend this rental and stay here again!

The view that can't be beat.
This home is the nearest home to the Depoe Bay channel. It's viewing angles are such that you can see the boats come and go almost up to the underneath opening of the bridge. And, it is only a short block away from viewing the harbor. Also, as whales travel through the ocean-bay, they can be just a matter of yards away from the property. Our stay resulted in hundreds of photos, and provided a truly amazing experience for all of us.

This place was perfect for a getaway! The views are spectacular and even better than the pictures.
My family and dogs just stayed at this place and it was perfect for us. We saw lots of whales and ships going in and out of the ocean. The only thing I would recommend is to bring your own binoculars. This was a perfect place to stay. The owners we very responsive.

House with great view!
The house was pretty nice overall. The view is fabulous! The only thing missing was a bit of attention to the details. (No batteries in the bedroom remote, no light bulb in the bathroom, no dishwasher soap.). The carpet could have used a better vacuuming since we had a baby with us and she kept getting dog hair on her toys. But overall it was older but nice.

Amazing view
It was the perfect location to bring my mother in law who just celebrated her 86th birthday. The views were amazing and she got to see whales.

Great view, comfortable and easy to locate
Was perfect, the lazy boy chairs are something I'll never forget so comfortable in front of a amazing view! Out side is a great bench to hang out with your dog which we did. We worried about the carpets being so white but nope, our puppy did great. When on vacation with your dog you usually walk your dog allot anyway so that helped. Quite and great location, even with people time to time to come check out the view. No issues at all, all good times for us!

A wonderful property. Convenient location, clean and comfortable. The view is great, with whales right in front of the windows all day long. Communication with the Property manager was problematic. We had concerns related to the various COVID restrictions and how they may impact our trip and we attempted to reach out to the property manager as suggested by the VRBO. We received emails indicating an opportunity to extend our visit which we promptly responded to. However, in the first case we never heard back from the management staff and in the 2nd case we didn't hear back until it was too late to take advantage of the offer. We stay often at the coast and often with this property management company and previously never had this kind of problem. While the property and our experience were outstanding, we are disappointed with the responsiveness of the Meredith Lodging.

Perfect view
The property was an older home and a duplex. The views are magnificent and I appreciated they let us bring our dog. It was unfortunate that the house was not clean. The soap in the kitchen was watered down, there was mold around the bathroom sink drain, 2 rolls of T.P. for 3 people , 3 days, foot prints on window. With Covid this made me nervous and the reason why we rented a house, the company that manages the home did offer to clean it again. But we declined since I cleaned what we needed and didnt want the intrusion. The home does need attention to some small upkeep items, like replacing the broken fan, no screens on windows, new kitchen sink installation incomplete. Shampoo carpet. But I do want to stress the view is awesome.

Depoe Bay View
I'd like to tell you that this place is terrible, and no one would want to rent it leaving it all to us anytime we want, But actually we have stayed at this place over 15 times in the past 12 years. This place feels like home to us. The view is fantastic, , more often than not whales galore, boats going in and out the bay. Could just sit in that chair in the corner all day.

Great Location in Depoe Bay!
This home was very clean and comfortable. Easy walk to anywhere in town. Since the house appears to be built in the late 50's or early 60's, some amenities are a bit dated, but the location and views were magnificent. Large updated picture windows throughout the living area overlooking the bay. Saw many whales, seals, etc. Wonderful spot.

You can’t beat the view!
Perfect haven for my elderly mom who can no longer get down to the beach. We loved all the whale sightings!
