About this property

This lovely, modest, well-maintained home reflects simple elegance, for a restful vacation with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. Eat dinner on the balcony, or in the dining room that views the sea. Walls of windows grace both levels, and the sound of the sea is close enough to soothe your sleep each night. A circular floor plan on the main level allows for easy movement through the well-designed kitchen and living room areas. There is enough room to dance or do yoga, with a modest media center for music. The two upstairs bedrooms feature comfortably firm queen beds. The downstairs bedroom is setup with bunk beds for adults or children, in a roomy space with sea vistas and sea sounds. The downstairs family room, with a keyboard, books, games and puzzles allows teens to have a space to themselves, if desired. There are sometimes harbor seals on the beach at low tide, near the mouth of the Alsea Bay, within walking distance from the beach entry at Bayshore. The Alsea Bay is popular for crabbing and fishing and there are boats and crab pots to rent at the local marina. There is a stunning amount of bird life on the beaches, with sightings of pelicans, eagles, marbled murrelets, willets, great blue herons, sandpipers, plovers, cormorants, oystercatchers, terns, gulls, swallows, hummingbirds, cedar waxwings and more. Beautiful songbird calls are present mornings and evenings in spring and summer at Whales Wonder. Owner offers a compendium of interesting places to visit, once your vacation is booked. Natural simplicity is embraced at our "home away from home" and we hope all of our guests enjoy the ambiance. If you can please make an "inquiry" with your chosen dates, rather than an immediate "booking", it will enhance the Vrbo process with this attractive beach home.

Great weekend getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this home. We had two teens, my mother-in-law, me and my husband, and there was plenty of room for all of us to gather when we wanted to or spread out and get our space. The view of the ocean is great (although blocked by some trees). I loved opening the windows and slider to hear the waves crashing throughout the day. The beach is just a short drive or a walk away, which isn't bad at all, and I love that you have access to the club if you want it. All amenities are provided, so we didn't really need anything (except maybe some larger/taller glasses--maybe we missed them somewhere?? we had to use small glasses and mugs and do dishes a lot because of it--easily fixed tho!) The beds are definitely firm. That was probably our biggest struggle. We are NOT firm mattress sleepers, so my husband and I struggled. Nobody else complained about their beds, however. The laundry is a huge plus, and we loved having an ice maker in the freezer. That isn't something you often find in rentals. :) Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and have no complaints (other than the mattress... haha)!!

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Hi Folks. Here is my scoop as a Vrbo host. My home at the beach is a short term vacation rental (STR). I hold a license to rent it; there are licensing agreements and policies that I must adhere to, so that I can share the place with vacationers. I will be asking each person who inquires, to read short .pdf files I send, so you (the guest) knows what the expectations are in this beach community, as well as the regulations that govern the county.

My home is in unincorporated Lincoln County, Oregon. A very popular area! My home is in a quiet, rural location with less traffic, less noise (except the sea and gulls) and less lighting. All the local residents like it this way and tolerate guests who are considerate of the ambiance. Thus I ask for a written response, from all inquirers, that they have read my short and straightforward "rules" and will honor them when visiting. They are not hard to follow. No partying, no extra people, no extra cars, no excess noise, no smoking, no cooking crab in the house, no pets, no blocking mailboxes, etc, etc. Once you have read the files I send, and respond that you have read them, I can finalize your reservation. Be sure to read the rental agreement. A bit redundant of the .pdf files, but captures a few other issues.

Why they chose this property

Of note, and fairly important: I sometimes vacation off the grid. So I am occasionally unable to respond within the 24 hour window Vrbo is pushing hosts to accomplish. This means I will NEVER be a premier host, as I would need to be responding in the 24 hour time frame. (Maybe wealthy owners can hire personal assists to answer calls when they are traveling. I cannot.)

And I am going off the grid several times every summer month, May thru October. I camp, I backpack, I road trip. There is no cell service in many of the areas I love. So if you make an inquiry, be patient. I usually am not off the grid for more than four days. I WILL get back to you as soon as I am able. If you are in a hurry, I am sorry. I do have to take some time off and I like to be outdoors where my phone does not always work.

For 2023 I know for certain I will be off the grid these dates:
May 4-9
May 30-June 1
June 28-30

I will do my best to add other dates as I expand my travel times. Thanks for understanding.

Whales Wonder is an awesome home in a beautiful area! I hope you get the opportunity to visit.....
