Nice House Near Depoe Bay
This is a nice house. The heat can be a little difficult to manage but, overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Average with great views
The views were amazing and I can see why they named this property A Whale of a View. The property was just as expected with the pictures. However, this was not a toddler friendly place. As soon as we walked in the carpet was soaked. I can tell they just shampoo the carpet given the chairs upstairs were put up on the table. Which i appreciate the extra cleanliness, but it would have been nice to not have to walk around and go up the stairs with wet carpet during our stay. Additionally, hazardous chemicals were within reach of a toddler and left down below such as: dishsoap, dishwasher tablets, etc. There was a broken light bulb outside on the upper deck which the broken glass is still on the light string. We hung it out of the way. There was also rusted nails by the front entrance next to the outlet.

The location can’t be beat
View is amazing, the sound of the the waves can be heard from the home, the neighborhood is quiet, and the beds are comfy. We saw whales and seals from the upstairs deck, it was incredible! Unfortunately, though, especially for this price point, unless the flooring is updated we won’t be staying here again. When we entered we were instructed to remove shoes by a sign. We did so and then proceeded to walk through wet carpet stains. The upstairs smelled as though there may have been urine in the carpet. Even the dry part of the carpet was really stained and gross looking. When I mentioned this on the cleaning survey the following day, a maintenance person contacted me but at that point there wasn’t anything to be done. The customer service was great, so no complaints there. We chose to eat out for most of our meals and when I did use the kitchen toward the end of our stay, I noticed all but one of the large frying pans have deeply scratched Teflon surfaces, so they definitely need replacement. The interior staircase is spiral, and our dog refused to use it, so we spent a lot of time downstairs. There is an exterior staircase that hugs the outside of the building, so she was able to go upstairs but it wasn’t as convenient. The downstairs recliners are pretty beat up and torn in some areas, but still comfortable. Between the 2 first aid kits in the house, they were empty other than some gauze, we were looking for a bandaid. Aside from the carpet, the place is quirky but great.

Family emergency on drive to rental
Overall we didn’t get to enjoy this place as we were driving their To meet family for the weekend we got a call that my dad was in ambulance due to a stroke so we had to change course and head to eugene hospital. I called VRBO to let them know figuring I lost the daily rental rate but would get the cleaning deposit back since they need to clean but they said no to all of it. Very disappointing as we’ve used Vrbo a lot and due to a compassionate situation I would have thought they would have at least gave me my cleaning deposit back. Big disappointment.

Paradise destination
Overall, our experience here was AMAZING! Sure, it's a bit older and could use some sprucing, but THAT VIEW, it's worth EVERY PENNY! The location is not only beautiful, but it's so close to the local grocery store and conveniently located in between Lincoln City and our favorite, Depoe Bay! If I could live in this house, I WOULD! Management is so responsive and checked in several times to make sure we were comfortable. Can't wait to come back!

Great home and location
I reviewed once but forgot to mention that the listing says it sleeps 8 but there are only beds for 6. There aren’t extra sheets, blankets or pillows for the extra two people.

Beautiful property, well maintained, super clean and comfy. Lots of seating which was so nice. Only quibble is make sure to get toilet paper for longer stays as we ran out towards the end.

Outstanding views. Wonderful beach.
This property was exactly as pictured. Its strength are in the views and beach. Be aware that the beach access is steep for anyone with walking challenges. We would definitely stay again. Kitchen is small for families that like to cook but the 6 of us managed. Hopefully the management company is addressing the upstairs bathroom sink not working.

Loved the view. House needs work
Pros: Amazing view. Nice stretch of beach Cons: 1st floor had musty smell and the carpet has small stains scattered throughout. Many of the pillowcases and blankets had visible stains on them. The remote for the heater on the 2nd floor did not work. Dining room chair seats were falling apart. There was no water pressure in the bathroom sink on the 2nd floor. The fluorescent light in one of the first floor bedrooms was blinking, and the little lamp did not have a working light bulb. The check out time of 10 am is unreasonable; the past homes we have stayed at have had checkout times of 11 am or later. Overall we had a great time. The view was great, and the beach was clean and not crowded. The house however needs some better cleaning and maintenance.
