Property details

Gardner Family House #1 - the property manager If you’re wishing for time to watch the ocean crash on rock, pelicans and seabirds fish and whales roll through the swell, Gardner Family House’s upstairs unit will give you the perfect perch over the south shore of Depoe Bay. You can overlook boats braving the surge and surf as they motor in and out of Depoe Bay harbor. The kelp beds just off your backyard are attractive to seals, birds, and the occasional whale, and you’re likely to see lots of spouting from whales around and beyond the bay. You’ll love the big picture windows looking north and west in the living room, and you’ll be very comfortable in the reclining chairs and the sofa, which folds out to a queen sleeper. A TV/DVD and wood-burning fireplace will keep you cozy and entertained after the brilliant sunset fades in the west. You really can’t escape the stunning view: the dining room has a west-facing picture window, you can watch whales in two directions from the fully equipped kitchen, and you can sit in bed and watch the gulls wheeling in the morning light from either bedroom. Walk across the harbor bridge to the breakfront, enjoy investigating the row of Depoe Bay’s interesting shops, or catch a Zodiac whale-watching boat across the street. There’s Thai food across the highway or seafood at the Spouting Horn or Tidal Raves. Everything you need for a great vacation is within walking distance, and you’re a half hour from Newport or Lincoln City by car. Don’t miss the unforgettable magic of this wonderful location—book today!

View from living room was amazing. The issue we had was the blinds in the bedroom didn’t work so we didn’t get to enjoy the view. Also made the bedroom warm since we couldn’t get fresh air. The king size sheets were very scratchy and pilled . Meredith promised to send someone to fix the issue the next day. Never came.
