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.

Things to know:
Full kitchen (no dishwasher)
Nightly pet fee applies
Free Wifi

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.

Our go to spot for Depot Bay

Wow! We loved this cottage! Loved the vintage charm and the view was so much better then what the photos show online. We saw several whales and it's location is perfect to get to Newport or Lincoln City. Definitely coming back and telling all our friends!

A little shabby, but still cozy.

This was a nice little house in a very quiet area. The house was a bit musty and a bit run down, but the beds were comfy and the antique furniture was lovely.

Nice spot!

They had toys for our kids, the doors were solid and kept the noise out so they could sleep better, nice big kitchen and easy access to lots of oceanside activities. Apparently this year has had few whales even in Depoe bay, we did manage to see to see one right outside the window!

Nice clean home with ok views, no beach access access.

Great little older comfortable home for the price can't beat it! Make sure to bring your own coffee mugs if you like your coffee, and extra kitchen towels for cleaning up or doing dishes. No dishwasher.

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!!

Perfect getaway

We had the most incredible stay at the Whale Watcher's Perch. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views of the ocean. The house itself was not only adorable but also impeccably clean and well-maintained. We especially enjoyed sipping morning coffee on the deck, taking in the fresh sea breeze. I can't recommend this charming little house enough. It's a little piece of heaven by the sea, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable escape.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Whales were seen

Aptly named as we saw grey whales actively feeding, but we had to walk across a neighbor’s property to see, no beach access us main drawback. The home needs repairs, deck has bent boards, paint is peeling, plumbing gurgles, Between bathroom and kitchen, nasty cabinets behind a stove where pots are kept, nice neighborhood w friendly people .

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
