Make Depoe Bay your next getaway

For a small town, Depoe Bay certainly has a mighty big reputation. This little village has become known as the "Whale Watching Capital of the Oregon Coast", and indeed, it draws a large number of visitors during peak weeks to the state's official Whale Watching Center downtown. An Oregon Coast vacation rental in Depoe Bay is still certainly quieter than Lincoln City to the north and Newport to the south, but thanks to its whale-watching fame, has more dining and shopping options available than many similarly-sized coast towns.

Recent Depoe Bay guest reviews

I absolutely loved this house! It's set back from the street (and up some stairs) for privacy, but easily walkable to the downtown area/restaurants in Depoe Bay. The furnishings have so much character (the lamps, oh my God the lamps!), and the king bed upstairs was very comfortable, however, if you're a shorter person you may have trouble getting into the king size bed upstairs. I'm 6'3 and sitting on the edge of the bed my feet couldn't touch the ground. Water pressure could be better, but this is a house from the 30s - you should know what you're getting. The deck is the best part of the house by far. Yes, it's right next to the other houses on each side, but left is blocked by the shape of the house, and the house on the right is set below the level of the deck, so nobody can see you when you're in the Adirondack chairs outside. I will absolutely book here again.

My family of 4 and our friends family of 3 rented this house over this past weekend and at first when we pulled up to the home we were slightly concerned by the looks of the outside, but once we walked through the front door, we were ecstatic. The views were immaculate The home was beautiful, the couches and floor had some ware, but that’s to be expected w a pet friendly home. The beds were so very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with pans and dishes so well that we were able to make home meals which was awesome! It’s located so central in Depoe bay you can walk and explore with ease!

In addition to her whale watching status, the town is also home to the world's smallest (and very photogenic) navigable harbor, underwater geyser-like basalt formations that spout water dozens of feet into the air, and a veritable fleet of charter boats from operators like Dockside Charters, ready to whisk curious visitors out on deep-sea fishing adventures and sightseeing tours.

After having their fill of whale-watching, visitors could spend days exploring the scenic picnic spots, sandy beaches, and hidden coves located just outside Depoe Bay. South of town, the winding Otter Crest Loop guides drivers past jaw-dropping views and state recreation sites at Fogarty Creek, Boiler Bay, Rocky Creek, and Otter Crest, with its cheerfully named Cape Foulweather.

And while a Depoe Bay vacation rental offers all the usual suspects in the way of local businesses (saltwater taffy, art galleries, and souvenir shops), there are definitely some better-than-average restaurant options in town, along with the award-winning Pirate Coffee Company. If you don't feel like preparing meals in your beach cottage's full kitchen, lucky diners can choose from four-star farm-to-table cuisine at Restaurant Beck, the insanely popular seafood spot Tidal Raves, or the Friday night seafood buffet at The Sea Hag, just to name a few.

Depoe Bay is an excellent choice for visitors wanting to explore the busier, more bustling destinations of Newport and Lincoln City while still experiencing the charm and laid-back atmosphere of a smaller home base. Newport's famous aquarium, historic waterfront, and Rogue Brewing are only 20 minutes south; to the north, Lincoln City offers miles of sandy beaches, a lively nightlife scene, an outlet mall, and a casino. Portland can be reached in just under two and a half hours, while Salem and Corvallis are an hour and a half away.

Don't overlook a Depoe Bay vacation rental; this little coastal town packs a big punch.
