Castaway Cove is in picturesque Waldport, located where the forest and our tidal inlet off the Alsea River meet the Alsea Bay. We have installed a keypad lock which opens with a pin number you choose yourself for safety and convenience.

Our SEVEN FREE KAYAKS -two tandems, four singles & a youth kayak, & a 15 1/2 FT CANOE (for seasoned canoers), and life jackets in all sizes are available to take out every day at high tide right from our bank. The design of the kayaks provides great stability, making them extremely safe and easy to use for even novice kayakers, whether fishing or kayaking. The canoe maneuvers easily and you can launch right from our property when the tide is in!

When the tide is out, wildlife visitors can often be seen, depending on the time of year. Most common are blue herons, egrets, grebes, mallards, eagles and we have had many pairs of mated Canada geese nesting right by our property.

You also are welcome to use our crab traps and clamming gear. Or you can borrow our beach chairs, beach towels, large beach umbrella, and portable propane barbecue, and take in the beauty of any of the gorgeous, unspoiled beaches minutes away that stretch for miles. Go explore the tide pools or go beachcombing for seashells and agates. Or take in some amazing storm watching, depending on the weather. Both the sea wall and the whale observation deck in nearby Depoe Bay offer spectacular views! You might even be surprised by the sight of a whale passing through any time of year!

We are easy to find with Hwy 101 a mile and a half away, and there is ample room for parking.

INSIDE: Well-equipped small galley kitchen has a countertop oven that will cook a 12 pizza or 9x13 pan, 2 cooktop burners, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, French press & a 7.5 cu ft fridge. 12 other appliances for your use are on shelves in the laundry room -a large air fryer, blender, electric skillet, big electric griddle, 2 crock pots, Instant Pot, waffle irons (inclosing a Mickey Mouse one), rice cooker, pizzelle maker, breadmaker & hand mixer.

There are three flat screen TVs with Dish & Netflix that operate separately so different programs can be watched, Blu-ray DVD players for movies, Wi-Fi, 4-drawer dresser, luggage rack, hangers, plush spa robes, blow dryer and more... Outlets throughout the apartment suite have USB outlets for your various devices.

The laundry room is free to use at your convenience, and includes basic laundry supplies, iron and ironing board. We will refresh your sheets and towels as you wish!

LOCATION: Perfect for vacation, right in the middle of everything on the beautiful Oregon Coast with Newport and its historic Bayfront on one side, and Yachats (listed by travel guru Arthur Frommer as one of his Top Ten favorite travel destinations in the world) on the other.

Waldport where the forest meets the sea as Alsea Bay greets the Pacific Ocean, is home to unique shops and some great restaurants. You can clam in the bay, crab off the dock, fish in the river, and walk the many gorgeous beaches.

The towns north and south offer great restaurants, shops, museums, lighthouses, charter fishing, whale watching boat tours, and more.

The famous Sea Lion Cave is 30 minutes south, and Depoe Bay, with its spectacular whale watching (right from the sea wall or out on a tour boat) is 40 minutes north.

Waldport is in the middle of it all!

Let us know what your interests are and we will suggest restaurants, parks, attractions, and other activities to help you make great memories.

    The Host listed many things to do while we were there. Very quaint and cute rental. The Amenities In the home were so nice. I would rent it again when I go to the Coast. Can’t forget to say it was very clean.

    We had the best time staying at Castaway Cove. Ellie and Kelly are wonderful hosts who have thought of absolutely everything. They know all the best places to have the quintessential Oregon Coast experience from agate hunting to tasty restaurants and tourists activities and everything in between. My 8 and 12 year olds said their favorite parts to staying at Castaway Cove were the cozy bunk beds and fun decorations as well as the great location. The property is right next to the Alsea River and it is amazing to see the tidal impact each day. We thoroughly recommend this wonderful place and can't wait to stay again.

    Kellie and Ellie really make an effort to make you feel at home! This wonderfully decorated place had everything we needed for crabbing and beach days which really took the stress out of having to locate or source other items while on our trip. Perfectly situated between Yachats and Newport, our stay in Waldport provided an experience of a lifetime and one we will soon be planning again in the near future.

    I have never had a stay with so many extras. The owners were great and included so many thoughtful extras. It was cold during our stay but the kids were still able to enjoy the kayaks and all the beautiful scenery. We had a large group which was perfect all being able to stay at the same location but still have our own space. I would highly recommend this property.

    Our two grandsons ages 10 and 8 were so excited about our accommodations. We visited the aquarium in Newport and did local hikes but they couldn't wait to return to our Castaway Cove each day. The boats and crabtraps were a favorite. Thank you for the memorable trip.

    The property was as advertised. The hosts were in good communication to make sure we got there safe and wouldn't have issues finding the place. Our kids thought it was the coolest! Beds were super comfy. We had everything we needed and the hosts took the time to make sure we were all set; even though we didn't want for anything else. They also gave recommendations that we were happy we took them up on. Thanks for making our stay pleasant!

    This place is absolutely magical!! The love and attention to detail that Kelly and Ellie have put into this space is phenomenal. There were fresh baked cookies on the table for us when we arrived!! ? Literally the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on, and the canopy captain’s bed was absolutely dreamy! The kids loved their bunks, with individual lights, charging stations and even little fans! Many great board games and DVD’s available. I was worried about cooking in the limited kitchen since my husband has food allergies and we can’t eat out, but the hot plates and toaster oven were more than sufficient! And there were other cooking appliances we didn’t take advantage of. All the little helpful instructions posted about the rental are even in pirate’s jargon! And the hosts were available at a moment’s notice when we needed anything! They even provided tide tables, along with a TON of info about things to do in the surrounding area. We look forward to our next visit to Castaway Cove!
