About this property

Whales and Outstanding Rocky Surf Views from this Depoe Bay Oceanfront Perch!

Gardner Family House #1

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!

Amazing home, not the best customer service.
Communication with host (Meredith Lodging) was prompt, but curt. We had a family emergency and couldn’t check in until Sat (rental began Friday). I didn’t expect a refund for Friday, but maybe some sort of consolation or at least a late check out for our 25th anniversary trip (which was denied….despite the fact that they knew that we were celebrating this milestone).. Check out was 10 am (which is definitely on the early side). I guess that’s what you get with a larger management company. The home was amazing, but don’t expect warm customer service or any flexibility.

Amazing views throughout the house
This house is well situated on Depoe Bay. There were amazing views of waves from every room. The light on the harbor entrance allowed you to see the waves even at night. It was very comfortable and nicely remodeled. Convenient to the shops and restaurants. A great stay!

Great View
The view was amazing. We saw humpback whales just below our window. The newly remodeled kitchen and bathrooms were very nice. You might want to invest in some new bedding and get rid of the tired old sheets and coverlet. Also suggest a new set a knives that are actually sharp.

Overall the property and the stay was excellent. The only think that it needed is that the blinds in the bedroom were in need of repair. They didn't close.

This house was absolutely everything!! Who doesn’t love an amazing ocean view when eating dinner, enjoying the fire place or even doing the dishes! During our stay the weather was horrible and all of our plans were cancelled but, we made the most of Depoe Bay staying here was exactly what we needed! Will definitely be booking again!

Excellent Property - Great View and Location
My wife and I stayed with her sister and husband. It was a working vacation for me, but a true vacation for the rest of the family. We absolutely love this location and have been there three times over the last couple of years. There has recently been some great upgrades to the kitchen and bathroom. Being pet friendly is a great add!

The ocean views from this house are awesome!! Parking can be a little tricky during busy times but not enough of an issue to worry about once you kick back in one of the recliners and enjoy the view

Amazing Views of Depoe Bay & Harbor Access
A friend and I stayed in this beautiful home. We spent hours sitting in the recliners watching boats go in and out of the harbor, whales spouting & breaching, seals playing in the surf, people fishing below, and waves pounding the rock below. It was such a wonderful and relaxing time. Highly recommend!

Still love the Gardner House!
Great job on the remodel and adding a half bath! Great addition. Shower a bit challenging to not be blasted with cold water at start and keeping the water from getting outside the shower area, but very pretty and improvement over what was there before.

Magical location
We enjoyed a 3 night stay at the Gardner House property. The house was immaculate and had all that we needed for a cozy stay. 1 block walk to town shops. View of the ocean was spectacular with the sound of the waves ever present in the home. We all enjoyed our stay!

Outstanding view with a very relaxing vibe.
Check in was very easy. Home was clean and has a relaxing vibe that makes you feel right at home. The views were incredible. We were able to watch the whale right from the home. Location was great with easy access to great restaurants and coffee shops. Would recommend this home to any family looking for a relaxing time. Beach access was a short drive. Great memories were made!
