About this property

The Whales are migrating! Watch from our deck! Walk to everything!

If you truly want the view, Ocean Bay Cottage is your spot. This great little cabin with southern exposure and a big deck is situated with perfect views of the ocean, and mouth of the Yachats River. Relax on the deck while enjoying the sunrise/sunset. Views change every six hours because you're sitting right at the tide line. At low tide you will see life unfold before you on the beach, including resident eagles, herons, and seals. At high tide the same view will provide breaking waves as well as the migration of hump back whales during the spring and fall months.

This CLASSIC beach cabin has two bedrooms and one bath.

Amenities include a fully furnished kitchen, ocean view living room and dining room, HDTV/ DVD Player, Wifi, FM tuner with iPod cable. Be sure to check out our latest addition: a recently added mural painted by Oregon muralist Corie Hinton. It is a visual treat waiting for you when you open the kitchen door.

Ocean Bay Cottage is right in town so you can walk everywhere, including at least four different eateries that are less than three blocks away, as well as groceries, fun shops and the Yachats Commons. The Yachats Area Chamber of Commerce/Visitor Center is right next to the grocery store, so stop in for a chat about local attractions. The Yachats area is plentiful with scenic areas and hiking trails to enjoy.

Great space
This is my second stay in this unique two bedroom home that is perfectly located so that once I arrive my car never moves again. Perfect spot to walk to restaurants or down to the park to watch the sunset or continue on the 804.The views from the front room and deck are amazing. The couch in the front room perfectly placed so that when reading, knitting, etc..one only needs to look up and out to see the river and ocean. The small kitchen reminds me of my childhood, no frills but everything I need. Plus the right size coffee mugs. This house is well maintained and cared for. I look forward to a third visit.

Great place
This place was so cute and very close to anything you might want to walk to. Loved the view and comfy couch too! The kitchen is pretty dated but we found everything we needed. It was really hard to find at night as no light was on and you can only see the address with the light so I suggest trying to check in before it gets dark

Loved the view
Thr location and view were great-- We were able to walk to the 894 trail and all the local amenities, so just left our vehicle in the driveway the whole time.

Just as great as before
This is our 4th or 5th time time to stay at this location, we love it so much. It only has 2 bedrooms so its not for all travellers, and has two short sets of stairs to get to the porch/front door (5-7 steps each). But the windows have a fantastic view of the bay, it is only 2 blocks to a great small park with rock/ocean interactions, and only a few blocks from at least 5 great restaurant options. Try the BBQ place, it is fantastic!
