The views were absolutely incredible, we could have just sat in front of the window all day. The house was great too, kitchen was a little small for folks that like to cook and the fridge is incredibly small … not ideal for longer stays unless you plan on eating out most days (unfortunate because the views are so amazing ) :) we will definitely be back!!

We can't say enough about the amazing view from every window in this property. Loved sitting on the deck and just looking out on the water. The loft area has plenty of games, dvds, etc. Comfortable beds and plenty of room.

The house was completely funky with very little room. The kitchen is very small with a dwarf refer. It was advertised as 2 bedrooms and the second bed was in an open area with no privacy and a bathroom far away. Terrible!

Using the lock box was tricky. The house was adequate but you can not tell by the photos how awkwardly it is set up, House allows dogs which is one reason we chose it, but there are many stains on the carpets. Absolutely stunning views!

Wonderful retreat with incredible view

Cozy, comfortable, clean unit and right in line with description. Incredible weather, wave, bird, and WHALE watching throughout our 3-day stay. Will definitely plan to return and would recommend to anyone. Was especially great to have our sweet little old lady dog along. Would not recommend for larger active canines.

One day into our vacation, we noticed a propane leak at our rental. We contacted property management, and they immediately moved us to another location within minutes.The new rental was just as good, if not better! We had a nice peaceful time in Depoe Bay.
