About this property

Covered,enclosed,Patio, CityCenter, Directv, Wi-Fi, Gas Fire. Off-Street Parking

"By The Bay" is a responsible, adults-only establishment. We are not a party house. We have a lot of Regular Guests who enjoy a quiet place to stay. We require at least a four-day stay.
"By The Bay" shares one of the most spectacular, ever-changing, Ocean Views on the entire coast with "Tidal Raves", one of the most popular Ocean Front Restaurants. The Wave Action is different every day. Unique, Exciting, and therapeutic, especially during Frequent Winter Storms. Don't forget the ever-changing sky also! We also enjoy a Marine Garden View during low tides. The Charter Boats come into our view as they find the Whales. Enjoy the Hanging, Wicker Chair, located in the covered, wind-protected Patio with a full Ocean view. It is quite an unexpected pleasure. With a 30-day stay, there is no tax required.

Lovely and Peaceful

Overall the home was perfect for us without a real complaint to have! We even saw whales spouting from the house! My only suggestion is cleaning the spiderwebs from the ceiling of the patio would have made a more comfortable spot to sit as it was so lovely.

Fantastic cozy place with a great view

This place is super cute, comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well stocked, there is a washer and dryer and is comfortably furnished. The view of the beach is an added perk, it’s great couples getaway, it’s quiet and easy to get to.

Across the street from the bay

We enjoyed our stay even though we had doubts about the apartment being next to Highway 101. Thankfully, because of the double pane windows, traffic sounds were kept to a minimum. The bedroom is at the back of the home with a comfortable bed. There is a nice kitchen with most everything you need for cooking and a gas barbecue set up outside. We especially liked the location and being able to watch grey whales in Depoe Bay. Recommended!

Relaxing Stay!

Accommodations were very nice! There were lots of nice amenities such as USB ports in the bedroom lamps, CD’s with a Bose stereo - music of all genres, wonderful view of the ocean, walking distance to lovely shops, nice protected patio with BBQ, excellent parking area. The full kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. It was lovely to meet Walt as well. We felt at home.

Perfect for whale watching

It had everything we could need with plenty of room, even 2 sets of binoculars. Comfortable bed and a great shower head. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of cleaning supplies. Tidal Raves across the street is our favorite restaurant in Depoe Bay. It’s also close to plenty of other restaurants and the cliff trail.

Perfect Getaway

We loved this little vacation rental! So easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and activities, and a short drive to Taft and Lincoln City for anything we couldn’t find in Depoe Bay! No cleaning fee was a BIG draw, and the checkout expectations were no more than what we would normally do! So grateful for a simple spot to enjoy our time away without breaking the bank. Thank you!

Directly across the street from Tidal Raves restaurant which is spectacular and easy walk to all of the town. Ocean view is awesome. Owner was very responsive when we couldn’t figure out the TV the first afternoon and made sure it was working when we got back from a day trip the following afternoon. Too much “stuff” (decorations & knick-knacks) for my personal taste. But I’m a minimalist so your mileage may vary! Windows facing the ocean didn’t open so we had to open the front door to hear the waves and get a cross breeze, but there was no screen door so we didn’t leave it open. We book ocean front exclusively to be able to hear the waves and get the cross breeze so that was disappointing.

Cute, quiet, & great location

We really enjoyed our time in depoe bay. The house was within walking distance to all the shops and several restaurants. The decor in the house was interesting and mismatched but that didn’t matter to us too much! This is the first place I’ve stayed where we had to do the cleaning ourselves but you don’t have to pay a cleaning fee so it works out well. The owner Walt is friendly and responsive to messages. I thought the listing said the bed was a Queen but it was definitely a full so that was a bummer. Overall we would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Walt

Vicki & I were lucky to find this property with it's wonderful unique Ocean View and City Center location. With determination and hard work, we managed to develop this property into a place that is always complimented and enjoyed by our many return Guests.

Why they chose this property

We were very fortunate to have found this unique Ocean view, City Center property. Walt has retired from his Real Estate business & we are now concentrating on these wonderful Vacation Rentals.

What makes this property unique

Our Ocean View is unique to the Oregon coast, with its large unusual naturally formed rock formations and ever-changing wave action. We have at least 2 usually 3 waves, all moving in different directions, then they meet, crashing together, 50 feet in the air. Of course, the wave action is much more entertaining during the winter months.

During very low tides, we enjoy our own Marine Garden View. The Apartment includes a Covered, Ocean View, Old Growth Alaskan Cedar, Wind Protected Patio. With a very unexpected Ocean View This cozy home away from home is one of the very best values on the coast.
