Whale Vista

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!

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.

Lovely home and location
We enjoyed this older home for its location and wonderful views. It was perfect for three of us for a birthday weekend get away. There were some quirks and some things were a bit dated but we would definitely go back!

Older house but enjoyable
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 are Really THAT Good!
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.

Happy guests!
Loved the views of course! Comfortable home! The Christmas light show across the street made it fun! The fenced in yard was great for the puppers. We would definitely return to this home if possible.

Cozy Cottage Getaway
This house was so perfect we didn't leave our entire vacation. The views of the ocean were beyond amazing. The cleanliness was top notch and the home well maintained. All we wanted to do was sit around the fireplace and watch the stormy ocean. We will be back!

Lovely home
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.
