About this property

The Whale's Edge, Oceanfront Cottage with view

An oceanfront cottage with stunning ocean views in a convenient yet peaceful and quiet setting awaits any Newport vacationer anxious to see Oregon's beautiful Beverly Beach. Whales can often be seen through the windows or from the deck. We are right between the Yaquina Lighthouse and Moolack Beach with
beach access shared with nearby cottages just north of the cottage. There is an easy beach access point to drive to nearby.
Please reach out for questions or schedule and day adjustments.

A quaint cottage with million dollar views of the ocean. From the bluff one can see the Yaquina lighthouse to Cape Foulweather and Otter Rock. The cottage sits on the ocean bluff, about 120 feet above the beach with spectacular views.
You will be amazed by the ocean roar and smells!
Bring binoculars! You may find it alluring to just sit watching for whales and the occasional bald eagle from the cottage and large deck, especially on sunny days.
The Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area boasts a permanent population of many grey and migrating whales, which come very close to the coastline due to a reef (about a quarter mile out).
The location is quiet and private, with a rural feel, yet just a few minutes by car to all the attractions, restaurants, and services. US hi-way 101 is just a few hundred feet away.
The home is very clean, well furnished and maintained, with a complete kitchen, washer, and dryer. There is a shower/bath combination. The cottage has been nearly fully renovated recently. There is a large deck to relax in the sun on and watch spectacular sunsets.
You will enjoy just gazing out the large picture windows for hours while having your morning coffee or tea.
Tea, coffee, water, and a few snacks are provided for your convenience.
*This is a 30 day or more rental. *Please reach out to us for questions regarding length of stay. Please message or call with any booking questions or scheduling inquiries. We are flexible for special requests of checkin days for extra guests depending on when owner, family and friends stay.
While at our cottage, we require housekeeping weekly if our home is occupied fully, with more than a single individual; Guests will be charged 90.00 per cleaning.
If there is a single guest or part-time added guest staying over 1 or 2 months the fee is 125.00 every 2 weeks. This will also require an owner rental agreement for long stays. Guest parking is near the front door and north side of our cottage. There is a short staircase (4-5 steps) up to the house and front door.
There is a private beach access by way of a path north of the homes. Please be aware you must be fairly sure footed and agile to take the path. It is great fun and takes a few minutes. It is accessible in good weather. Several other access points are a short drive away or walk away.
We do have room for a midsized boat next to the home.
All garbage bins must be placed out on Thursday eve for Friday am. They will go out 15 feet from the front of the east edge of the home.

The home is located on the north end of the city of Newport, in a rural beach setting, just a few minutes to anything needed.

Cars are the best form of transportation but the city bus line runs just south of the property about a half mile. There is room to ride your bike along the paved shoulder of Highway 101 too. Highway 101 is a busy two lane highway.

Newport is a great destination point and central place to venture from to see so much of the Oregon Coast.
Devil's Punchbowl is just a few miles north, several lighthouses are within about 30 minutes drive, including the Yaquina Lighthouse that you can see from the deck and can tour and climb, which is the tallest in Oregon. The Water Front; Nye Beach stores, pubs and restaurants; the aquarium, museums, breweries, fishing, crabbing, and the beach are a few of the fun activities.
Depoe Bay is only about 10 minutes north and the water front the same south. We are so centrally located.
We are happy to make suggestions of the many restaurants and things to do.


No Smoking of any kind in or on our property. 150.00 extra charge will apply if finds of odor or smoking waste left behind.
- A rental agreement is required over one months stay.
-Avoid wearing shoes throughout the home, house shoes are appreciated.

What A Gem!

What can get any better than gazing out at the ocean?!? This home was clean, kitchen well organized, plenty of bath towels. Even though Highway 101is close by, it's very quiet. The owner was quick to answer any questions. Plenty of shopping close by and many places to dine in the area.
