About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Whales are migrating! Watch from our deck! Walk to everything!

If you truly want the view, Ocean Bay Cottage is your spot. This great little cabin with southern exposure and a big deck is situated with perfect views of the ocean, and mouth of the Yachats River. Relax on the deck while enjoying the sunrise/sunset. Views change every six hours because you're sitting right at the tide line. At low tide you will see life unfold before you on the beach, including resident eagles, herons, and seals. At high tide the same view will provide breaking waves as well as the migration of hump back whales during the spring and fall months.

This CLASSIC beach cabin has two bedrooms and one bath.

Amenities include a fully furnished kitchen, ocean view living room and dining room, HDTV/ DVD Player, Wifi, FM tuner with iPod cable. Be sure to check out our latest addition: a recently added mural painted by Oregon muralist Corie Hinton. It is a visual treat waiting for you when you open the kitchen door.

Ocean Bay Cottage is right in town so you can walk everywhere, including at least four different eateries that are less than three blocks away, as well as groceries, fun shops and the Yachats Commons. The Yachats Area Chamber of Commerce/Visitor Center is right next to the grocery store, so stop in for a chat about local attractions. The Yachats area is plentiful with scenic areas and hiking trails to enjoy.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Can’t Beat the View

The view from the front windows and deck of this property were nothing short of spectacular! We loved getting up in the morning and watching the waves lap on the shore. The amenities of the house were fine. It was rustic. The kitchen is nice and redone with new appliances. The oven did smell like fish had previously been cooked in it when we used it and the bedrooms were basic and a bit cramped, especially in the bedroom with the washer and dryer in it. But, overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Upon arrival to this quaint house we were happy to be able to park right in the property. Easy access into the house and we were greeted with a clean, nice smelling home. The kitchen was upgraded and information about the rules and property were easy to find. Rooms were lovely. The view was so stunning it took our breath away. What a beautiful home. It created amazing memories!!

Love this place!

This is our 4th or 5th time staying here and the location never disappoints. Whether the sky is blue and ocean is calm or there is a huge storm, the view is always incredible! And they've updated the kitchen to add a dishwasher, making this place perfect!

Cozy location on a cold, rainy and windy weekend.

This property provided us a perfect, relaxing weekend. Very clean and well-appointed house. Perfect location for restaurants, shops and trails. Highly recommend the Drift-Inn for dinner and breakfast. The house location is just a short walk from the 804 trail. Very cool watching the waves and tidal changes at the mouth of the Yachats River.

Stellar, with one exception

We loved location and house, which was clean and well equipped. The only problem was that we were notified by voicemail that the washer/dryer didn’t work. (Quite a disappointment at a beach location!). No apology, no effort to offset inconvenience with discount or other laundry access. They didn’t make the unit break, but they certainly could have handled it with more consideration.

Great space

This is my second stay in this unique two bedroom home that is perfectly located so that once I arrive my car never moves again. Perfect spot to walk to restaurants or down to the park to watch the sunset or continue on the 804.The views from the front room and deck are amazing. The couch in the front room perfectly placed so that when reading, knitting, etc..one only needs to look up and out to see the river and ocean. The small kitchen reminds me of my childhood, no frills but everything I need. Plus the right size coffee mugs. This house is well maintained and cared for. I look forward to a third visit.

This place was so cute and very close to anything you might want to walk to. Loved the view and comfy couch too! The kitchen is pretty dated but we found everything we needed. It was really hard to find at night as no light was on and you can only see the address with the light so I suggest trying to check in before it gets dark
