Great location on Depoe bay. Was able to view Gray whales from the balcony. Very nice unit and close to harbor that we used for our fishing trips. Well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies. We would highly recommend this unit.

The description & photos were exactly as described. My family of 5 had the best time exploring this area. The condo was in a great location & we loved walking to grab a coffee at Bigfoot's Beach House. This is our 1st time in OR & we were blown away by how beautiful the coast is. There's so much to see that we didn't spend any time in the condo except showering & sleeping. My kids enjoyed the legos - nice touch :) Our last night we got to watch the most amazing sunset from the deck & saw so many whales! If we ever make our way back - I will definitely book here again!

THE VIEWS! We saw whales everyday we were there, it was amazing! The balcony was perfect for afternoon cocktails and whale watching. Depoe Bay is very walkable so we wandered around the town, the weather was so lovely compared to the heat and humidity of the south. The condo was perfect for our family of 4, although we could have easily fit 3 more kids in the mix. Our 19 and 22 year old each had their own rooms which made for a more peaceful vacation. We loved Tidal Raves and The Horn, both within a 2 minute walk from the condo. The kitchen was well stocked but I do my best to not cook while on vacation. We would absolutely stay again at this condo if we get back to the Oregon coast!

The place was wonderful and the views of the ocean from both inside and from the balcony were outstanding. We saw so many whales just from there. Easy walking to shops and restaurants. And, with all of us staying there being from Wisconsin, we appreciated the Green Bay Packers puzzles and glasses. Would definitely stay again.
