Great views and close walk to the Main Street! We saw many whales while sitting on the comfortable recliners! We did enjoy the views but did find the beds to not be the most comfortable, a weird odor in the kitchen that wouldn’t go away and some stains in the living room. That being said there are many pros like free parking, amazing views and a few thoughtful touches like binoculars.

You can’t find a better view for the price—where you have a fireplace and a kitchen. The place is clean, spacious for two, a small outdoor (non fenced) grass patch for dog’s early hour “needs”, and a wonderfully walkable location to neighborhoods AND to the main drag of Depot Bay. We will be back. Loved it!

We had such a nice stay:)A cozy home with a gorgeous view, and the host Meredith was the best!Even with stormy weather and rain, it was nice to relax in front of the big bay window and watch the fishing boats and could watch the blow hole splash 20 feet in the air.One night we intensely watched the Coast Gaurd waiting for the violent waves to calm enough to make it through channel.Good restaurants and food everywhere!

We've stayed at this rental twice now, and we enjoy the location and proximity to town. This stay, though, there were several disappointing things happen. When we arrived, there was no toilet paper in the house, only one bath towel, and a bunch of used dog poop bags left by the front door. Not the best welcome to the house. While our contact was apologetic, I had to go out and buy toilet paper.... which is really expensive in a small coastal town. Towels came the next morning. Small details were missed, and I understand mistakes happen, but our stay would have been better had we not had to deal with all that. The location is beautiful though, which is why we stayed here a second time.
