About this property

The Whale Watcher- 3rd story Condo with Ocean Views & Private Beach Access!

Get away from it all or stay connected to it all in this wonderful condo. This condo is great for a romantic getaway or a fun-filled family vacation. Enjoy the view of the waves washing up on the beach or the white water washing over the offshore rocks. Watch otters, whales, seagulls, pelicans, fishing boats, and the occasional surfers.

This is a great home base for all that the Southern Oregon Coast has to offer. You can jump right onto the coast hiking trail from the condo for hours of hiking exploration. Rent kayaks for a river or ocean trip.

Charter a boat for a great fishing experience with a local guide, or try your hand for Surf Perch right from the beach. There are days worth of hiking and beach trails all within 20 min from home.

When you are ready to come in from the great outdoors this condo greets you with superior amenities. Stay connected with high-speed Wi-Fi (bring your own laptop). Enjoy your favorite TV shows, sports teams, and movies on the high-definition flat-screen TV located in the living room. Light a toasty fire and grab a good book or a loved one and snuggle up for a quiet evening.

There is a great jetted tub to soak road or trail weary bones. Books, puzzles, and great views are all available for your pleasure. Of course, this home is stocked with all the necessities of a functioning home. Linens, beach towels, cookware, etc. are all ready for your use.

Absolutely amazing views

Our family loved this property. The views are unbeatable. Our kids loved exploring the beach at low tide. It is clean and comfortable. Well-equipped. Very close to Samuel Boardman, and very easy to explore the area from this rental.The check-in instructions could use editing for inconsistencies and inaccuracies, but our questions were answered by the friendly rental company team.

3rd Time a Charm.

Our 3rd time at the Whale Watcher was as good as the first. Well stocked kitchen, great cleaning job by Paragon, and what a view! We had a small snafu with the WIFI which was straightened out the next day. Comfy beds. We can't wait to come back. THANK YOU!

Comfortable, relaxing, with fabulous views

This is our second time staying at this property in the last five years. We love the views and comfort of this suite. We were very happy with the amenities provided and that they all worked. We had one small problem with the wi-fi which management quickly fixed (outdated info for sign in in the "Welcome" information).

Beautiful views and quiet beach

Spacious condo with beautiful views. The path to the beach is steep but manageable in sandals. Kitchen and baths were dated but functional. Short distance from town. The wifi and tv didn't work, but after speaking with the property manager they provided us a discount. Wish there were more games or cards to play in the evenings since the tv didn't work. The one deck of cards provided was missing the 8 of diamonds. Would stay here again.

Beautiful view and great location!

We stayed at the Whale Watcher for 5 nights and the condo was tastefully decorated and located within an easy drive to the Oregon Redwoods. The condo is closer to a road than we thought it would be from the pictures so there was road noise we hadn’t expected but it was a minor issue for us as we could still hear the waves and the noise wasn’t noticeable at night. We are already planning to come back to this property!

Fabulous Views!

Lovely condo! Well equipped and appointed, with the most incredible views of the ocean. Clean, and ready and good communication. Great location, close to Brookings. It is a third floor WALKUP, and the trail to the beach is Not for the faint of heart or anyone with difficulty hiking. We were two women in mid-70’s, who made it down and up once! But chose to drive to the beach after that! But the Cave and Rainbow Rock, on the very private beach, made it worth the trip down (an up, up, up).

Spectacular Views

This condo offered spectacular views and a long path down to a private beach. The cave at Rainbow Rock was amazing, but check for low tides before exploring. Condo was as described. Bathrooms were clean and the bed in the MB was very comfy. The living room and lookout areas were great, especially since it started raining the minute we arrived! Plenty of games and books to choose from - we played a lot of chess while waiting for the rain to pass. Kitchen was well-stocked but missing the essential tools for eating the wonderful Dungeness crabs that are available fresh from the harbor. Our only real disappointment was that the kitchen cabinets, which have no handles and are spring-loaded to open, were quite dirty with lots of greasy finger prints. All-in-all, it was a GREAT weekend!

Spectacular views of the ocean are its best feature. We were a little disappointed that the accessible beach area was small and mostly large rocks and logs. But, the location is close to many other nice walking beachs. Also, disappointed in the fireplace because the only fuel was 1 duralog. A gas fueled fireplace would have been much more useful.

Only cons about property is the shower head in bathrooms are set up for someone who is 4 feet tall and shoots a hard stream of water out of nozzzle…….with amount owner charges you would think that kind of upgrade would be affordable…….

About the host

Hosted by Holly Hatch

Host profile image
Hello! We are Lonnie and Lori. We love the ocean and have always dreamed about having a place to get-away and relax. We are really excited to share our home with you and hope that your stay will be very memorable.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

The view is our favorite part of our home. We can sit for hours and watch the water and there is always something changing. Of course we are always on the look out for whales, but watching the surfers at the end of the beach and even the fisherman has become quite entertaining. At night we crack open the sliding door and listen to the soothing sound of the ocean. During crabbing season there are a lot of boats out at night that have big lights and you can see the crew working. Vacations are meant to be relaxing and replenishing so we tried to capture the sprit of that in our home and it feels great to us. We furnished it with comfortable but modern furnishings, left clutter to a minimum, and let the view take center stage. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.
