As seen on HGTV's Beach Bargain Hunt

The name 'Whale of a View' says it all! This unique and very charming, two-story getaway provides amazing 180-degree views of the Pacific from the upper and lower decks, as well as from inside the home. You will also find a roomy kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, plus a dining area and living space warmed by a gas fireplace. This is truly a home where you're sure to make great vacation memories with your family, friends, and even the family dog.

Miles of beach, all waiting to be explored, can be accessed just down the street from this home. The Boiler Bay Scenic Viewpoint and Fogarty Creek State Recreation Area are both great places to visit, just south of this home. Depoe Bay is only three miles south on Highway 101 and offers fun shops and restaurants. It is also home to the “World’s Smallest Harbor.” Spend a day exploring the town, take a whale-watching tour, or jump aboard a charter for some deep-sea fishing.

Beautiful View!
The view was perfect. Beach access was a short walk. Nice neighborhood. Kitchen had EVERYTHING a cook would need. Communication with the owner was friendly and quick. The only negative was it was HOT due to no AC and did not cool off at night. Of course, weather is no fault of anyone but just so you are informed...bring fans! We would stay here again.

Great views!
Fantastic view and great piece of property with an easy walk to the beach through a cute neighborhood. 6 of us stayed comfortably with enough dishes, chairs, couches, towels, toiletries, etc for everyone. Dog friendly, thankfully, because we brought our dog, but it didn't smell like dogs had been there, nor did we see any dog hair on any furniture, so it was very clean. It is outdated, which could put some people off, but the furniture and decor were very beachy, which was a fun vibe, and I think it was very well priced for the view and location. All 6 of us had a great stay and would happily stay again!

Amazing View
Loved the amazing panoramic view of the ocean. You could hear the waves. Easy access to the beach (as long as you can walk down a steep slop to the beach). Short drive to town. Beds were very comfortable. Nicely decorated with an interesting design (kind of like a lighthouse).

This is a unique house and provides a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The views are amazing. If you have trouble with stairs, the spiral stairs might be challenging.

Great view w some issues
Pros - - Great view, short walk to be beach access Cons - Downstairs heat did not work at all. It was freezing. This was a known issue that we were not informed of. - The downstairs is unusable as the cold water does not work so it is scolding. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. This was also a known issue that we were not informed of. - Dirty bedding on downstairs bed including makeup on pillowcases - Missing simple kitchen amenities like a cutting board (not the wooden one no one should be using these days) - Lack of lights in the house Overall, you’re paying for the location. The house is cute but needs some attention badly. Disappointing.

Paradise destination
Overall, our experience here was AMAZING! Sure, it's a bit older and could use some sprucing, but THAT VIEW, it's worth EVERY PENNY! The location is not only beautiful, but it's so close to the local grocery store and conveniently located in between Lincoln City and our favorite, Depoe Bay! If I could live in this house, I WOULD! Management is so responsive and checked in several times to make sure we were comfortable. Can't wait to come back!

A Time With Friends
The house is perfect for 3 singles or 3 couples. Plenty of space. Incredible views of the ocean and easy access to the beach. It is well equipped and clean. Our only challenge was getting in with the current lockbox. It should be replaced with a newer/different lock. We needed help with the local contact to get in.

A great stay!
What a cozy spot. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could need for cooking, plenty of comfy seating, and 2 wonderful decks. We loved spending the mornings and evenings on the upper deck, perfect for whale watching (we saw several) and ocean gazing with a cup of coffee or glass of wine! So close to beach access which was perfect for my 2 year old. The home was very clean when we arrived apart from the carpet which is pretty badly stained in several spots. The Icky carpets were a disappointment upon arrival and the reason for leaving a 4 star review. Otherwise everything else was great and the Vacasa team was wonderful about checking in on us and were easy to communicate with. I would still recommend this spot to others and would stay again.

Family emergency on drive to rental
Overall we didn’t get to enjoy this place as we were driving their To meet family for the weekend we got a call that my dad was in ambulance due to a stroke so we had to change course and head to eugene hospital. I called VRBO to let them know figuring I lost the daily rental rate but would get the cleaning deposit back since they need to clean but they said no to all of it. Very disappointing as we’ve used Vrbo a lot and due to a compassionate situation I would have thought they would have at least gave me my cleaning deposit back. Big disappointment.

Average with great views
The views were amazing and I can see why they named this property A Whale of a View. The property was just as expected with the pictures. However, this was not a toddler friendly place. As soon as we walked in the carpet was soaked. I can tell they just shampoo the carpet given the chairs upstairs were put up on the table. Which i appreciate the extra cleanliness, but it would have been nice to not have to walk around and go up the stairs with wet carpet during our stay. Additionally, hazardous chemicals were within reach of a toddler and left down below such as: dishsoap, dishwasher tablets, etc. There was a broken light bulb outside on the upper deck which the broken glass is still on the light string. We hung it out of the way. There was also rusted nails by the front entrance next to the outlet.

The location can’t be beat
View is amazing, the sound of the the waves can be heard from the home, the neighborhood is quiet, and the beds are comfy. We saw whales and seals from the upstairs deck, it was incredible! Unfortunately, though, especially for this price point, unless the flooring is updated we won’t be staying here again. When we entered we were instructed to remove shoes by a sign. We did so and then proceeded to walk through wet carpet stains. The upstairs smelled as though there may have been urine in the carpet. Even the dry part of the carpet was really stained and gross looking. When I mentioned this on the cleaning survey the following day, a maintenance person contacted me but at that point there wasn’t anything to be done. The customer service was great, so no complaints there. We chose to eat out for most of our meals and when I did use the kitchen toward the end of our stay, I noticed all but one of the large frying pans have deeply scratched Teflon surfaces, so they definitely need replacement. The interior staircase is spiral, and our dog refused to use it, so we spent a lot of time downstairs. There is an exterior staircase that hugs the outside of the building, so she was able to go upstairs but it wasn’t as convenient. The downstairs recliners are pretty beat up and torn in some areas, but still comfortable. Between the 2 first aid kits in the house, they were empty other than some gauze, we were looking for a bandaid. Aside from the carpet, the place is quirky but great.

The View!
It was stormy all weekend and the view of the "angry" ocean was fabulous! We enjoyed quilting and watching the waves.
