Lincoln City, Oregon
The Blue Whale is a 3,300 sqft home that is perfect for your next family gathering, reunion, church retreat, corporate meeting, or anyone just wanting to get away from it all. With 5 bedrooms (3 en suite), 4.5 baths, a formal dining area, breakfast bar, and two living room areas, this home opens its doors to you and your group, inviting a weekend of relaxation and reconnection. The property has two beach access points depending on if you prefer to hit the beach quickly (3 minute walk with steps) or leisurely (5 minute walk with sloped grade to the sand.) If your group intends to spend the whole day on the beach with lots of gear, then the recommended route is to load up your rig and drive down to the beach, as one very unique aspect of this home is that parking on the beach is just two miles away!

place was great and the owner was super responsive. would stay again.
Jessica provided us with comfortable and beautiful accommodations! Perfect for our family of 13. We had fun games to play, a relaxing hot tub, comfortable rooms; everyone was happy with our location as well. We’d love to stay again given the opportunity. Thank you Jessica!
This is the Gold Standard of VRBO experiences!
The home was beautiful and well appointed but had too many stairs for a return visit. Too far from actual beach.
Great big, clean house. Short walk to the beach.
We had little ones under 6 and their parents and two old folks. Plenty to do. The men had shuffleboard competitions every night. Well stocked games and puzzles. We had a new puzzle going every night and the little ones had a three story house to play hide n seek or arcade games ect. The beach was very close. Quick easy walk for even the little ones with lots of tide pools to explore. Well stocked kitchen and Tregor was nice to have. Plenty of space for everyone. Kylos one of our favorite restaurants was an easy stroll down the beach or 5 minute car ride. Definitely recommend this house
I rented the Bluewhale for my 80th birthday/Fathers' Day. It was a perfect home for me and my wife, my children , and my grandchildren. The kitchen and dining room were perfect for a group of 10 which allowed for fabulous meals. We had a wonderful game of Trivial Pursuit and the grands loved the video games and shuffleboard, as well as ping pong. All the bedrooms were very satisfactory and there was no problem getting a good night's sleep. This is the perfect house for a family group.
Home was beautiful well appointed. accommodated all our needs and purposes. We were there for our annual Kingdom of God marriages ministry retreat. We had 5 couples.
Overall a very nice home , clean and comfortable. Kitchen was nicely stocked and the layout of the home was great. And plenty of towels blankets and other necessities which was great. We all enjoyed the blue whale.
This house was very nice and had so much room for the whole family to come together and stay. There was so much to do for the kids and adults in the house we never got bored. The shuffleboard and video games were a highlight for the kids. The kitchen was nicely stocked and so much room at the tables to eat and play games. The hot tub was a bit off colored which made most of us avoid it during the trip but other than that everything was perfect.
The house is beautiful and we appreciate the layout and the space in this house. Warm, cozy and fun! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
The Blue Whale is a beautiful house with lots of space and sleeping areas. The kitchen was very well supplied with cooking and serving items. The baths had soaps, shampoos, and lotions but could have used a few more towels being available without having to wash each time. The house is beautifully located in mid Lincoln City on a fairly quiet street.
We had a great experience here-great time and location. The host was very responsive and helpful. Rooms 4 & 5 appeared much smaller than pictured, but we still had a great time and made it work for our large group.
As advertised.
This property was amazing and the owner was absolutely fantastic. The only downside to our stay and it had nothing to do with the property was the drive down to the beach area was closed. Everything else was perfect!
Kitchen well stocked with everything you would need. Beds very comfortable, plenty of towels and linens. Arcade game and shuffleboard provides great fun for all ages. Short walk to beach. Hot tub was used and appreciated by the adults.
We had a wonderful time with our family, my only complaints were there was sand in the hot tub and the steps to get in were moldy. Also the windows for our view of the ocean were dirty and had large amount of bird poop on them. Other than this we would definitely stay again.
Thank you so much!
We absolutely loved staying at this house! It is very nice and when we arrived it was very clean. Having 5 bathrooms was wonderful, especially for our two big families. Everything in the house seemed to be well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We were all very sad to leave.
Clean house and great for families. Super fun!
Our family time at The Blue Whale was outstanding. This beautiful home was very clean and comfortable. Every need was provided for, the beds and furniture very comfortable. The ocean view was beautiful and restful. It was a most memorable stay and we are all grateful to the owners and for Tonya's help in making a smooth booking and stay.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was well stocked but there were some small maintenance issues. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room for all 11 of us. We were disappointed that the only real view is from the master bedroom. Most of us crowded into that room to view sunsets. Overall a good experience.
We got there, and the home was broken into which was not the fault of the owner - but we were left without much reassurance the rest of the time there. The wi-fi was broken due to the break in, no tv's were useable and the hot tub was not working. Otherwise it was a great stay - lots of other activities and walking distance to the beach.
The house has an amazing view of the ocean. The layout of the house is nice.
Our weekend stay could not have been more comfortable and relaxing. The house was very clean, and everything was in working order. Check in was super easy and communication with property manager was very good. I would highly recommend this home.
The house was everything we were hoping for. We will be back April 2023. The ladies and I spend the weekend every year in Lincoln City. We have decided this is our house of choice from now on. Thank you for the comfortable, relaxing stay.
This is a great place for families. Plenty of room for everyone. It was close to the beach, just a couple of blocks walk. Everything was neat and clean. We had a great time!
