Dog-friendly cottage with amazing ocean views, whale watching

Whale - Watcher's Perch

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This oceanside vacation rental boasts wonderful ocean views and a massive deck overlooking the sea. With art deco lighting, a cozy fireplace, and an unbeatable location for whale watching, this dog-friendly home is ready-made for Oregon Coast family reunions or group getaways.

What's nearby:
Located just south of Depoe Bay, you'll find yourself perched right between Cape Foulweather and the Ben Jones Bridge viewpoint. This part of the coast is a rocky cliff, but sandy beach access points are within a quick drive in either direction - Beverly Beach to the south is a great place to look for fossils or take the kids to run, and Fogarty Creek to the north is one of the best spots for tide pool searching and agate hunting. You can find great shopping and dining options to the north in Depoe Bay, or venture south to Newport for whale watching excursions, frequent events, and beautiful bays and beaches.

Full kitchen (no dishwasher)

When Accommodates Does Not Equal Sleeping Arrangements
Listing on VRBO was used as an excuse by Vacasa to explain that the property sleeps 4 comfortably and caused me to have extra expense to house others planning to stay with me elsewhere.

Relaxing weekend
I enjoyed the old ocean front cabin. I slept great in the bed. Kind of a bummer there is no beach access being that close though. Neighbors seemed to hate living in that area. Fortunately I didn't have to talk to any of them. Don't book vacasa through VRBO. They charge yet another ridiculous fee just to book. Normally I would have booked direct through vacasa, but it was a costly oversite on my part.

Cozy and cute costal cabin! Perfect for a group of friends celebrating the new year. It is an older cabin, with a bit of wear and tear, so if that bothers you, I’d find something more modern. Views were great, quiet neighborhood, and great amenities! It was fun exploring apart of the coast we don’t normally spend time at/have access to.

Quaint, whale-watching perch
Big windows to the water made whale watching and sunsets spectacular. Saw several whales visit the kelp bed behind the house across the street - so awesome! The home is vintage or retro. The neighborhood is quiet. No kitchen towels or sponges made cleaning challenging, especially when we found some pans and the stove needing some extra cleaning. Loved being able to have our pup with us too!

The location is amazing! Simply amazing! The property is old and quaint. Needs some updating, a lick of painted and a good cleaning. Some simple instructions for tv and shower would be helpful. Did I mention that the location was amazing!!

Wonderful for viewing whales
September is a great time to view resident whales. We saw whales everyday during our stay. The house was what was advertised. Small problem with plumbing but it resolved itself.

Beautiful weekend on coast
House was nice, in a cool location and close enough to Newport for shopping and food, but far enough to feel private and quiet. We did have an issue checking in as the deadbolt was locked so our code didn’t open the door, but the Vacasa support was able to get us into the building and we avoided a crisis. The house was lacking some small things like basic cooking seasonings(Salt/Pepper and Oil) but not a big deal. Just bring your own. Outside of that, had a great stay and loved the dog friendly aspect. They even had towel and dog bowls for use which was cute

Cute house. Good location.
Cute place but not very clean. I paid a cleaning deposit but the house wasn’t clean when we arrived. Part of the problem was the age of the property, but there were several places that should have been cleaned.

Great location, but NOT clean
Typically don’t write reviews unless it’s AMAZING 5 stars, or I have a genuine concern. First I’ll start with the positives. The location was absolutely incredible! Quiet street, with amazing views. We were able to see several whales, which made staying there worth it. We found most everything we needed in the kitchen, and appreciated the tv with Netflix for evenings. The place is quite outdated, but that did not bother us one but, other than the disgusting pillows. I removed the sheets and pillowcases to wash them myself, and the pillows were old, and stained with miscellaneous colors…. Not acceptable for a rental. The counter tops were clean, although the floors were not. There was dirt and an unusual amount of animal hair on the floors… I dropped something behind the cabinet and reached under to grab it and grabbed someone else’s brush along with dead spiders. Down in the garage is where the washer and dryer is located. On the shelves and floor were mouse droppings. I tried to keep my mom out of there or she would of wanted to leave. The key the door broke in the knob. I texted the account who messaged me regarding check in, and did not get a response. FORTUNATELY we left a window cracked, that we were able to crawl through, which we died the remainder of the trip in order to secure the house. Without these extreme cleanliness concerns, I would of given a 4-5* review.

Cozy cottage
Nice older, cozy little cottage. The beds are very comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed to cook our meals. We had our dogs with us and it was occomidating for them. It would have been better if part of the yard was fenced so they could have been off leash outside. It would be helpful if the five remotes were labeled what they were for, instructions to pull down on the ring on the faucet to switch to the shower, and include the laundrey is in a backroom in the garage, when asking us to start a load of towels. We figured the laundry was in the garage since it wasn't in the house but, we had to google how to work the shower. We were looking forward to a nice fire after a day of getting soaked by rain but, there was no firewood cut up. We would stay again.

Great view and cute house
This house was a great little spot for our family. We saw whales spouting and loved the location for visiting lots of the nearby beaches. The bedrooms and kitchen were stocked with everything we needed. The washer and dryer are in a back closet in the garage under the house which was a little hard to find at first.
