NO CLEANING FEE! Castaway Cove-Launch Free Kayaks&Canoe from bank-Near Beach too
NO CLEANING FEES - Castaway Cove, with its cool shipwreck theme, is a great fantasy getaway for a weekend or the perfect place for a family vacation! Private keypad entrance to an entire floor all to yourself.
Right off the Alsea River, 5 minutes from stunning beaches and incredible whale watching nearby. Comfy beds, cozy robes, Wi-Fi, 3 flat screen TVs w/ Dish and Netflix, Blu-ray DVD players, games, books. Full galley kitchen and all you need for cooking. Free kayaks, canoe and super fun pedal boat! Launch right from our property at high tide! Free laundry, and many other unexpected amenities.
Please read our = 5-STAR REVIEWS= for our other listing here, A Little Bit of Heaven. Also, we are Super Hosts on Airbnb, with hundreds of 5-star reviews for both Castaway Cove and A Little Bit of Heaven. Please check us out! Our goal is to provide you with all the amenities, plus the personal attention needed to help you put together the perfect vacation stay.
Castaway Cove adventure suite is in the center of the gorgeous Oregon coast, right on a tidal inlet of the beautiful Alsea River. The perfect location for a fabulous vacation.
=== *PLEASE NOTE* For the rare 1-night bookings available, a total of only 2 guests are allowed, including children and infants. PLEASE do not book more than 2 guests total WHEN IT'S A ONE NIGHT STAY as it will require a cancellation. A maximum of 2 guests total does not apply to any other booking. ===
Authentic driftwood queen-size bed with a canopy of lights overhead, cave walls that look like they came right out of Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland, a ship deck that creaks like the real thing when you walk on it, a cabin porthole door, and much more makes Castaway Cove AN ADVENTURE instead of just another place to stay! 540 sq ft of fun, with everything you might need for your stay.
Note: Both our listings are on our property in different buildings. Each has its own private entrance, and is completely separate from our home. If you have family coming for a reunion or a group for some other event, booking both places would be a great way to go!
In addition to the queen driftwood bed, there is an ultra-comfortable fold-down memory foam sofa bed, two plush, double-decker ship's berth single beds with individual lights, fans and privacy curtains, as well as a tri-fold memory foam floor mattresses for additional family or guests.
[*Please note* - 4 guests are included in the booking price with no per guest fee. You may have a total of up to 6 guests if you wish, for $25 a night per guest after the first 4 guests. This is =regardless of age= with the exception of INFANTS 8 MONTHS AND YOUNGER.]
Castaway Cove is in picturesque Waldport, located where the forest and our tidal inlet off the Alsea River meet the Alsea Bay. We have installed a keypad lock which opens with a pin number you choose yourself for safety and convenience.
Our SEVEN FREE KAYAKS -two tandems, four singles & a youth kayak, & a 15 1/2 FT CANOE (for seasoned canoers), and life jackets in all sizes are available to take out every day at high tide right from our bank. The design of the kayaks provides great stability, making them extremely safe and easy to use for even novice kayakers, whether fishing or kayaking. The canoe maneuvers easily and you can launch right from our property when the tide is in!
When the tide is out, wildlife visitors can often be seen, depending on the time of year. Most common are blue herons, egrets, grebes, mallards, eagles and we have had many pairs of mated Canada geese nesting right by our property.
You also are welcome to use our crab traps and clamming gear. Or you can borrow our beach chairs, beach towels, large beach umbrella, and portable propane barbecue, and take in the beauty of any of the gorgeous, unspoiled beaches minutes away that stretch for miles. Go explore the tide pools or go beachcombing for seashells and agates. Or take in some amazing storm watching, depending on the weather. Both the sea wall and the whale observation deck in nearby Depoe Bay offer spectacular views! You might even be surprised by the sight of a whale passing through any time of year!
We are easy to find with Hwy 101 a mile and a half away, and there is ample room for parking.
INSIDE: Well-equipped small galley kitchen has a countertop oven that will cook a 12" pizza or 9"x13" pan, 2 cooktop burners, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, French press & a 7.5 cu ft fridge. 12 other appliances for your use are on shelves in the laundry room -a large air fryer, blender, electric skillet, big electric griddle, 2 crock pots, Instant Pot, waffle irons (inclosing a Mickey Mouse one), rice cooker, pizzelle maker, breadmaker & hand mixer.
There are three flat screen TVs with Dish & Netflix that operate separately so different programs can be watched, Blu-ray DVD players for movies, Wi-Fi, 4-drawer dresser, luggage rack, hangers, plush spa robes, blow dryer and more... Outlets throughout the apartment suite have USB outlets for your various devices.
The laundry room is free to use at your convenience, and includes basic laundry supplies, iron and ironing board. We will refresh your sheets and towels as you wish!
LOCATION: Perfect for vacation, right in the middle of everything on the beautiful Oregon Coast with Newport and its historic Bayfront on one side, and Yachats (listed by travel guru Arthur Frommer as one of his Top Ten favorite travel destinations in the world) on the other.
Waldport "where the forest meets the sea" as Alsea Bay greets the Pacific Ocean, is home to unique shops and some great restaurants. You can clam in the bay, crab off the dock, fish in the river, and walk the many gorgeous beaches.
The towns north and south offer great restaurants, shops, museums, lighthouses, charter fishing, whale watching boat tours, and more.
The famous Sea Lion Cave is 30 minutes south, and Depoe Bay, with its spectacular whale watching (right from the sea wall or out on a tour boat) is 40 minutes north.
Waldport is in the middle of it all!
Let us know what your interests are and we will suggest restaurants, parks, attractions, and other activities to help you make great memories.

About the host
Hosted by Kelly and Ellie
We love living here on the beautiful Oregon coast. Every day we look around and say, "We live in a vacation!"
We also so enjoy being able to share it all with our guests in A Little Bit of Heaven and Castaway Cove, both here on the property we live on, right on an inlet to the Alsea River, and five minutes from stunning beaches.
Our goal is to have everything that our guests may want during their stay already there. We always ask departing guests for a wish list of additional items we could add to whichever place they stayed, and if something happens to be mentioned, we then provide it for our future guests. We love what we get to do!
