About this house rental

Whale Vista

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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!

What a beautiful view and great location. It has so much potential to be a 5 star experience. It was a clean place, but many things were out of service including the fireplace, washing machine, broken blinds, missing curtains, floor boards coming up, and an ant problem. With an extended 5 day stay we had counted on being able to do laundry, it would behoove the host to be transparent about the status of the home. It was a great location and the views are incredible, a great outdoor viewing area. I would not stay in this specific spot again, the host was communicative and did give us a small compensation (8% percent of the total cost). Yet the host was unable to mitigate or fix anything during the stay. If you are looking for a cabin like experience that is cozy this home is up your alley. Overall, it could use some TLC yet I understand why owners wouldn’t want to invest in a short term rental property.

We loved how eclectic the house was - with antique furniture and interesting lamps, glass doorknobs, etc. While it is definitely an older house, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The views from Whale Vista are absolutely stunning! I would highly recommend this home just for the breathtaking views alone. The couches and beds are very comfortable, the water is hot with good pressure, and the kitchen is fully equipped for preparing simple meals. I would definitely stay here again! Check-in is straightforward, and parking is convenient.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Kitchen is a bit small but adequate for our needs. If you're cooking, bring your own storage containers, foil and saran wrap. We made due with one roll of paper towels. Bring your own spices. View is phenomenal, and all bedrooms have an ocean view. We experienced a sugar ant invasion in the upstairs and downstairs southern bedrooms, which was gross. Downstairs tub and kitchen sink drip. There are stairs that must be climbed to access the front door. Except for deck area, outside not well maintained but may be time of year with winter storms just in rearview mirror: long grass/weeds, dead tree in pot, broken statuary, siding missing in back, debris on front patio and path. Furniture is an eclectic mix, some with obvious wear and tear but home was comfortable (please note, due to its height, the King bed needs limber folks to climb in). We had fun playing games, sharing meals and exploring the area. Fenced backyard for dogs is great but our little dog enjoys a good safari, and she found her way under the deck. Being completely honest, could due with a little refresh but somewhat expected due to price and age of home.
