About this property
Whales and Outstanding Rocky Surf Views from this Depoe Bay Oceanfront Perch!
Gardner Family House #1 - Meredith Lodging
If you’re wishing for time to watch the ocean crash on rock, pelicans and seabirds fish and whales roll through the swell, Gardner Family House’s upstairs unit will give you the perfect perch over the south shore of Depoe Bay. You can overlook boats braving the surge and surf as they motor in and out of Depoe Bay harbor. The kelp beds just off your backyard are attractive to seals, birds, and the occasional whale, and you’re likely to see lots of spouting from whales around and beyond the bay. You’ll love the big picture windows looking north and west in the living room, and you’ll be very comfortable in the reclining chairs and the sofa, which folds out to a queen sleeper. A TV/DVD and wood-burning fireplace will keep you cozy and entertained after the brilliant sunset fades in the west. You really can’t escape the stunning view: the dining room has a west-facing picture window, you can watch whales in two directions from the fully equipped kitchen, and you can sit in bed and watch the gulls wheeling in the morning light from either bedroom. 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. 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—book today!

Overall the space was great. The shag carpet made it feel a little outdated but the views from the kitchen and living can't be beat!

Stunning view of the ocean and it was awesome to hear the waves crash against the rocks. Great location as it is close to everything. I would give a 5 star if the floor was tile or anything but shag throughout.

Hi Jan! Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so glad you had an enjoyable stay. We agree ... the location is hard to beat. We loved hosting you, and hope you will book with us again!
Such an incredible home in an amazing location. We’re so grateful for the opportunity to stay here. Easy walking distance to Depoe Bay. Bring a spotting scope and enjoy the show! The only complaint was that the combination of being pet friendly, along with having older carpet, gave the house a strong odor that is almost overpowering. Bigfoot’s Beach House has a great selection of candles that were clutch.

Thank you for the 5-star review! I'm glad you enjoyed the home's location and whale watching — great tip about the spotting scope. I appreciate the feedback about the odor from older carpet and pets; I’ll share this with our cleaning team so they can look into deep-cleaning ASAP. We appreciate you choosing Meredith Lodging and hope to host you again.
Can't beat the view! Watched whales right outside the windows all week. House was clean but had a very musty smell. I don't think the washer works very well so many of the white towels still had stains on them. Parking was also a bit tricky. There were often cars parked in front of the house so we had to park further up the street and walk down. There weren't any washcloths in the house when we arrived but I sent a message and some were delivered quickly. But other than those things it was a wonderful place to stay.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the ocean views and had the chance to see whales. How special! And thank you for noting the cleanliness as well.
I’m sorry about the musty odor and the issues with the towels and washer. I’ll share your observations with housekeeping and maintenance so they can perform a thorough cleaning, inspect for a smell, replace or properly launder stained towels, and inspect the washer.
Thank you for the helpful feedback and for staying with us; we appreciate it and hope to host you again.
We enjoyed our stay in Depoe Bay. The view was fantastic. The location made exploring the local sites and area very easy.

It was an amazing view and the beds were really comfortable. The recliners are a little outdated and not that comfortable but we really enjoyed our stay.. It’s a close walk to the little shops.
