About this property

The Whale Watcher- 3rd story Condo with Ocean Views & Private Beach Access!

Get away from it all or stay connected to it all in this wonderful condo. This condo is great for a romantic getaway or a fun-filled family vacation. Enjoy the view of the waves washing up on the beach or the white water washing over the offshore rocks. Watch otters, whales, seagulls, pelicans, fishing boats, and the occasional surfers.

This is a great home base for all that the Southern Oregon Coast has to offer. You can jump right onto the coast hiking trail from the condo for hours of hiking exploration. Rent kayaks for a river or ocean trip.

Charter a boat for a great fishing experience with a local guide, or try your hand for Surf Perch right from the beach. There are days worth of hiking and beach trails all within 20 min from home.

When you are ready to come in from the great outdoors this condo greets you with superior amenities. Stay connected with high-speed Wi-Fi (bring your own laptop). Enjoy your favorite TV shows, sports teams, and movies on the high-definition flat-screen TV located in the living room. Light a toasty fire and grab a good book or a loved one and snuggle up for a quiet evening.

There is a great jetted tub to soak road or trail weary bones. Books, puzzles, and great views are all available for your pleasure. Of course, this home is stocked with all the necessities of a functioning home. Linens, beach towels, cookware, etc. are all ready for your use.

Quiet and remote with amazing ocean views - yet only a few miles from Brookings

Roomy and comfortable condo with an absolutely amazing view of Rainbow Rock beach. The place was quiet and felt kind of remote even though in reality you were only a few minutes' drive into Brookings and all the stores and restaurants. The only downside was the decor is a bit dated. Everything is clean and well kept, but the decor, bathrooms and kitchen appliances could all do with an update.

Unbeatable View!

This condo was the perfect home base for our adventures. It was comfy- from the beds, to the couches, and the little deck! The private beach was a highlight- tide pools, sand, and beautiful sunsets.

June 2025 Whale Watcher Condo

We had a lovely, two-night stay at the Whale Watcher Condo. The location was convenient and easy to find. It was outside of town, but close enough to get to stores and restaurants. It was an easy commute to the Redwoods! The view from the third floor was AMAZING! It was quiet, clean and had everything we needed. We loved having beach access and also being able to sit on the balcony at night to listen to the waves and watch the stars come out. We hope to come back someday.

Oregon coast July 2025

We really enjoyed our stay here. The thing we liked best is the view, which is fantastic (unless the fog rolls in). As advertised it's a couple miles from town. The complex is adjacent to the Samuel Boardman scenic corridor, which is probably the most beautiful coastal stretch anywhere. You can even hike right from the condo! The furnishings were nice and the bed comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, and the appliances were all good. The only snag we encountered was that the check-in instructions included an obsolete gate code (the correct code is in the Access Information section).

Beautiful view and great location!

We stayed at the Whale Watcher for 5 nights and the condo was tastefully decorated and located within an easy drive to the Oregon Redwoods. The condo is closer to a road than we thought it would be from the pictures so there was road noise we hadn’t expected but it was a minor issue for us as we could still hear the waves and the noise wasn’t noticeable at night. We are already planning to come back to this property!

Perfect location with beautiful view

This condo is at a perfect location for experiencing the best of the the Oregon Coast. Rainbow Rock beach below the condo is awesome, with a walk through cave and great tide pools with rainbow rock that washes up on the beach at low tide. And the condo view of Rainbow Rock beach is gorgeous. Also nearby Sam Boardman scenic park has the best views and hikes of anywhere in Oregon. We were also pleasantly surprised by the Brookings dining, Chetco River, and the nearby Redwood Forest grove hike.

Our favorite part of family vacation💕

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here during our family vacation. So peaceful and quiet! The view of the ocean is breathtaking. A very nice and unexpected surprise was all the privacy on the beach. We walked the lovely trail down to the beach every day and marveled at the rock formations, trees, flowers, vast expanse of sky and ocean, and sound of the waves. Beds were super comfortable although we didn’t use the fireplace, it was so nice to have that option available. Just the peace and relaxation that we needed!

Only cons about property is the shower head in bathrooms are set up for someone who is 4 feet tall and shoots a hard stream of water out of nozzzle…….with amount owner charges you would think that kind of upgrade would be affordable…….

Fabulous Views!

Lovely condo! Well equipped and appointed, with the most incredible views of the ocean. Clean, and ready and good communication. Great location, close to Brookings. It is a third floor WALKUP, and the trail to the beach is Not for the faint of heart or anyone with difficulty hiking. We were two women in mid-70’s, who made it down and up once! But chose to drive to the beach after that! But the Cave and Rainbow Rock, on the very private beach, made it worth the trip down (an up, up, up).

Fine condo with view, but Traffic Noise!

The Rainbow Rock condo was fine; spacious living area and kitchen, 2 bathrooms and bedrooms. It was equipped with all the basic needs. The view was stupendous. However, the unit we had wasin the first building and the traffic noise was practically unbearable during the day. It was not pleasant to sit on the little balcony because of the noise to enjoy the view. We will not return to this condo.

We have been to this property 3 times and have always enjoyed our stay. We found the road noise a little more bothersome this time for some reason, but the property is very nice with nice views and ocean beach. One of the best things is walking through the woods on the trail to Samuel Boardman beach/park.

About the host

Hosted by Holly Hatch

Host profile image
Hello! We are Lonnie and Lori. We love the ocean and have always dreamed about having a place to get-away and relax. We are really excited to share our home with you and hope that your stay will be very memorable.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

The view is our favorite part of our home. We can sit for hours and watch the water and there is always something changing. Of course we are always on the look out for whales, but watching the surfers at the end of the beach and even the fisherman has become quite entertaining. At night we crack open the sliding door and listen to the soothing sound of the ocean. During crabbing season there are a lot of boats out at night that have big lights and you can see the crew working. Vacations are meant to be relaxing and replenishing so we tried to capture the sprit of that in our home and it feels great to us. We furnished it with comfortable but modern furnishings, left clutter to a minimum, and let the view take center stage. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.
