About this property
Walk Out Your Door to a Spectacular, Panoramic Oceanfront View of Depoe Bay!
Gardner Family House #2 - Meredith Lodging
This lower-floor unit of a sweet family home has astounding views of Depoe Bay—step out the door onto the grassy lawn and you’ll find yourself on a low, rocky cliff above the ocean strewn with kelp and foam. Seabirds, seals, and whales may be fishing in the surf below you, and scanning the horizon can reward you with the sight of blasts of whale spouts. Inside you’ll enjoy a dining table with ocean views, a cozy, fully equipped kitchen, and a living room with a wood fireplace and TV/DVD/VCR. The queen bedroom has a TV and an adorable short twin bed perfect for kids.
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 at the Whale and Shark Museum. 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—you’ll immediately understand why locals and visitors alike flock to this point for the best views of the bay!

Phenomenal view, whales to be seen daily, home is cozy and comfortable. Only complaint is there is no way to sit outdoors unless you bring your own chairs. The bench shown in the photos is a public one and heavily used.

The view is great! We spent most of our time outside watching whales, birds, boats. The unit was clean but the rugs had spots. there are people upstairs and this was not clear in the description. bring ear plugs. It was nice to bring the dog but there were several piles of poop in the back yard. a little overpriced for one bedroom.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the views and time outdoors, and that you got to bring your dog along on the adventure. Thank you for noting what went well.
I'm sorry about the stained rugs — housekeeping will deep-clean and we’ll evaluate replacements if needed. I also apologize for the noise from the upstairs unit; we do state on the listing that this is the lower unit in a two-unit rental, but will work to clarify that for future guests. The backyard should have been cleared before arrival — we’ve reminded our team to inspect the yard during each clean.
Thank you for taking the time to share these comments, we will use them to improve.

Spectacular views. Awesome whale watching from the house. Parking was good. Location was excellentd, walking distance to most everything. Trouble at check in with the lock. When we arrived, the door was open and the bolt extended. Keyless entry was faulty, difficult to operate. Later service call (very good response) cleaned the keypad and corrected the problem. Couch and living room carpet stunk of urine. Suggested upgrade: replace the showerhead.

Thank you for the review. I'm so glad the views, whale watching from the house, convenient walking location, and parking worked well for you.
I'm very sorry about the check-in issue with the lock. Our team will continue to keep an eye on this and confirm their fix is holding. The odor on the couch and living room carpet is unacceptable — we've scheduled a professional deep cleaning and will evaluate replacement if needed. Thank you for the shower head suggestion, too. We'll look into it!
We appreciate the feedback and hope to welcome you back.
One of our best trips ever! Saw 15-20 whales in 1 day and many seals! So nice to be able to see everything from the living room! So many cool beaches in close proximity !

Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad you had one of your best trips and saw so many whales and seals. It's great the living room views and nearby beaches added to the experience. We appreciate you choosing Meredith Lodging and hope to host you again.
Amazing views and easy walking distance to the local shops. The whales were migrating south, we saw 14 different whale spots. Place was perfect for my family of four. 20 minutes either direction for supplies. Would stay here again in the future.

Hi Kathleen! Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We loved hosting you and hope you will book with us again!
Nice place to stay, it was clean and friendly. All the photos are from the upper apartment, we had the lower apartment, still has good views of the ocean, but not quite what we expected. Also had no shower soap, and no coffee. had to make a run to the store. I would suggest at least having a. single coffee pot pod available!

Thank you for staying with us and for the feedback. I’m glad you found the unit clean and friendly, and I’m sorry the lower apartment wasn’t what you expected — the current photos on the listing are of Unit #2, they are an accurate reflection of what guests will experience when staying here.
I passed your notes to housekeeping about the missing shower soap, as they are supposed to be placing that as part of our guest soap starter kit. If you’d like to share any more details, please message us through the Vrbo app. We appreciate the input and hope to host you again.
My partner and I enjoyed watching massive waves, beautiful sunsets, and even saw a whale. Wonderful experience

The view is amazing!!!! My only feedback would be to upgrade the mattress' (both twin and queen) as they were very soft, and not the most comfortable.

Overall, our stay was pleasant. Location is amazing, great view and close to everything in Depoe Bay. A couple of cons, uncomfortable beds and people can be heard walking around in the upstairs unit. Despite the cons, we would stay here again.
