Historic Waterfront Home with Ocean Views Great Location Dogs OK

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.

Wonderful location. Very special views. Everything was just lovely.

We've stayed here before and loved. This trip the property wasn't as well maintained as before. Needs some TLC.

Great

Great place! Oh my word the ocean views during a storm were excellent! Got to watch the CG practice maneuvers into the harbor during choppy seas too. Kitchen’s a bit small but who cares with that view. We’ll go back for sure!

Yes. Fabulous

Great location and a way cool place with great views and just a short walk to pretty much everything Depoe Bay has to offer. The ocean is at your back door and you can throw a rock and hit the best Thai food restaurant I’ve been too in years!! Only issue we ran into was a dishwasher that didn’t work. Management responded quickly and was very apologetic but they were unable to address it during our stay but it was the weekend so that’s understandable and was not an issue. I only mention it as reassurance to future guests that management is quick to respond to messages and that’s a plus. The living room TV uses a Roku but requires the use of 2 remotes to operate. It can be confusing and it would be nice if management invested a little money in an upgraded unit using just one remote for both Roku AND TV. Last but not least is my recommendation that guests bring their own TP. What’s furnished is just cheap single-ply and that can…..shall we say….leave something that’s not to be desired. All in all I highly recommend Whale Vista. I know we will be back!!

. Views and location were gorgeous! I don’t believe the dishwasher actually works. Washed two loads. Never put first load away, just added and tried again. Laundry room was great! The blinds in the living room need replaced. Could not lower one set once raised. Beautiful home but broken blinds we had to fight with was a pain. The room downstairs needs a curtain or blind on the door leading out to deck. Had to hang a sheet for privacy. All that being said…we would definitely stay again!

The views from this rental are spectacular! The house is stuffed with interesting antiques and art. The furniture is quite worn. The kitchen had no workable fry pan so we bought one. The host was responsive when we said the last guest’s dog had pooped every where outside (which we inadvertently stepped in). In/out instructions, which we weren’t given, should include the expectation that people clean up after their pets. Otherwise, housekeeping should check for dog messes.

Very nice small kitchen but great views

Nice home...beautiful view Could use some removations

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.
