Watch Whales From Your Living Room! King Primary Suite, Sauna, and Hot Tub!

Whale Watch Lookout - Meredith Lodging


Tucked into a secluded neighborhood, Whale Watch Lookout is aptly named—from the living room, dining room and kitchen you have unobstructed views down to rocky Boiler Bay, an area frequented by gray whales feeding along the shore. Beautifully landscaped with an ocean-view deck that spans the back of the home, Whale Watch Lookout provides brilliant outdoor space for dining and taking in the view with family and friends.

The vaulted great room has windows and skylights for plenty of Pacific light, and you’ll enjoy relaxing on the sectional sofa near the pellet stove and huge wall-mounted TV. An ocean-view dining table seats 8, and three can sit at the granite breakfast bar, elevated so you can whale watch as you enjoy your morning coffee. The large, fully equipped galley kitchen has beautiful granite counters, tile floors, a double oven, wine chiller, and walk-in pantry, plus skylights to brighten your work. Two main-level bedrooms have king beds; one has a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Another king bedroom shares space downstairs with a media room full of plush sofas and a flat-screen TV, not to mention a built-in sauna and ping pong table. Walk outdoors to the hot tub tucked alongside the two-car garage. Dining and shopping in delightful Depoe Bay are less than a mile away; it’s also an easy drive to Salishan and Lincoln City to the north or Newport to the south, making this home an excellent base of operations for a wonderful stay at the coast. Add the wonder of watching whales frolic, the pleasure of a glass of wine on your deck as the sun sets and the luxury of a sauna or hot tub soak to your next Central Coast adventure!

Beautiful View
Overall, my stay was great. However, there were a few things that left a little to be desired. Half of the lights in the kitchen did not work, none of the lights out on the deck worked, the fridge/freezer leaked water, the washing machine leaked water, there was no cold water at the kitchen sink, and every water source tasted like salt water. Individually, none of these things are a huge deal, but when added up, it does become a little annoying and makes you feel like there is lack of attention to detail. When you pay close to 1000 for a weekend, there are just certain things you expect to work. Also, i tried very hard to get early check in. It took several messages, but we were finally able to get it. When i got there, the pin i was given for the key pad did not work and we had to call. They lady was very nice and got it switched over right away. Again, not a huge deal. despite these few minor inconveniences, we enjoyed the stay, but will likely try somewhere different next time.

Decent
Overall great time but has its issues - the master shower head is AWFUL. No pressure. - upstairs guest toilet lid is broken and sharp - couch upstairs has holes and is falling apart everywhere! Hot tub was NOT clean. Definitely disappointing in some aspects but with a few small fixes this house would be 5 stars..

Beautiful view
This home is on a private road, tucked away with beautiful natural surroundings. The views were amazing! We enjoyed our stay, the house is great for groups or maybe 2 Families with the 3 bed/3 bath. The downstairs has a great room for kids/teens to hang out. Some personal attention is needed. We arrived at night, there were no working lights outside which made it sort of uncomfortable and difficult to enter a strange house. There are a LOT of various light switches which is confusing trying to figure out what switch is what light. Some are labeled, some aren’t. One of the upstairs bathrooms had a broken toilet lid…like broke in half! no closing the lid here! In the same bathroom, there is a bath/shower combo with a shower head but no bypass to turn it on. The hot tub was great and warm, might be nice to have some extra towels to use for the hot tub instead of the regular bath towels. Overall this is a great house with beautiful grounds, it just needs a bit of upkeep to make it great!

Smelled and somethings were broken.
As you come into the door you smell a musty odor, the bedding smelled of this too. So we practically had one day of cleaning sheets and towels. The chairs around the dining table were extremely uncomfortable as were the couches. We didn’t know how to use the shower upstairs in the hallway (and should have had instructions). The couch near the kitchen was broken, the couch in the garage looked broken, and the closet door was broken ( in the bedroom to your right upstairs). The garage should have been cleaner. The refrigerator was too close to the wall so it made it hard to put anything in it. Other than that we had a good time. I was with my family so that made things better.

Great time at the beach
We had a great time staying at this home. It is conveniently located between Newport and Lincoln City, so we could easily see other places after exploring Depoe Bay. It’s a nice quiet neighborhood. We especially enjoyed the view of the ocean out the wall of windows.

It was a great place to spend a week, comfortable beds, just wish there wasn't a highway between the house and the ocean, couldn't hear the waves. But a great view.

Visit at the Beach with Family
Wonderful house, with lots of space for a large family. We had 8 people and there was plenty of room for all of us. We had three vehicles and there was no issues with parking. We really enjoyed the open upstairs level as it had a wide open kitchen space with an excellent viewing of the ocean. If it’s a clear morning / day you will wake up with a beautiful view. There is restaurants and grocery store within 5 minutes from the house. You will enjoy your stay as we have. Enjoy.

Not Worth It!!! Don’t stay anywhere this property management takes care of!
We are very disappointed 😔 in the house at The Whales watch house on VRBO. Although the view and landscaping are beautiful, we might as well have pitched a tent in the driveway for all the amenities we didn’t have… a dishwasher, washing machine, 1 shower & sauna didn’t work. Including countless minor issues like disgusting pans to cook with & cheap bbq was so filthy we had to flatten cans to cook our food on the bbq. Hot tub cover is so heavy you can’t lift. Meridith Lodging Co. emailed me 4 days before our check in date to tell us only about the broken dishwasher (since April) & washing machine. So we were unable to cancel without a paying a fee. Meridith lodging management company were extremely rude is when we tried to call with issues of the house. We are never ever renting a property from the VRBO Meridith Lodging company ever again!

Relaxing Getaway
We had a wonderful time at Boiler bay and really enjoyed the property. They had several extras like the sauna, hot tub, and ping pong table. Plenty of room for adults and kids to have their own space. The only down side was the well water tasted very salty and we needed to purchase water. That really wasn't a big deal and plan to stay here again!

Property is lovely. House is very clean. Please fix the dishwasher, salt water RO system for drinking water. Also, the sofa in the upstairs requires replacement due to age and fraying. Otherwise, very enjoyable home.

Amazing property! Location was perfect, views from the deck were stunning! Perfect amount of space for our group! Only issue was the drinking water. Water from the tap & filtered both tasted extremely salty. Would recommend to anyone booking this place to bring bottled water!

Annual family beach trip
My family of 10 stayed, the view was fabulous and the home was big enough for us all, we chose this home because it had a large kitchen, unfortunately the dishwasher wasn't working which was communicated the day before our arrival. Also, all the bedrooms had king beds. The Internet was a little hit and miss. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would rent again.
