What a hidden little gem. We stayed in unit 2, it was more beautiful and peaceful than I could have imagined. The interior captured the spirit of the beach beautifully. So tastefully done, like walking into a pottery barn magazine.  The furniture was comfortable and inviting, almost tempting us to stay inside the entire time. The views and sounds of the ocean are breathtaking, you can't get any closer to the water than this. I hesitated leaving a review at all so that I would never have to worry about vacancy. Sadly, that would be a total disservice to this property. It deserves to fill the hearts and souls of many with its charm. If I could give it 10 stars I would!

You'll never want to leave

This is a great place to stay on the Oregon Coast. Clean, updated, and central location.  Best part is you can walk right to the beach from the unit or to the restaurants and bars which were about 2 blocks away. We will definitely be back. Wish we would have stayed longer. My wife and I spent New Years weekend here and are already planning on it next year if available.

Great location, beach front in Rockaway!

We can’t wait to come back to the Whale Watchers Inn! Right on the beach, with beach access. A location you cannot beat. All the rooms seemed recently remodeled, very clean and comfortable. I loved that the units have kitchens, that include all the essentials to cook in the unit and enjoy a relaxing stay. I will miss sitting on the back deck watching the waves come in! 

Can’t wait to come back!

First of all the view of the Ocean right off the deck is incredible.  You can walk right off the deck and onto the Beach.  Our unit looked to be recently upgraded with new appliances and furniture.  It was very clean and cozy.  Bedding was clean and the bed very comfortable.  It was nice to be able to walk to restaurants and bars in very close proximity to the rental.  Also a short walk to a really nice coffee shop/Bakery.  This place is awesome for the money due to the location and amenities.

Cozy beach front hidden gem

If you are looking for a relaxing, cozy space with a beautiful ocean view… this is your place!!! So beautifully decorated and very clean. We didn’t want to leave to go anywhere else! Highly recommend; we will definitely stay here again. 

Cozy, intimate, relaxing stay! Right on the Ocean

Property is recently refurnished and breathtaking views of the ocean. Rooms are all remodeled. Meredith was great working with. November has king tides and was amazing to watch for those who are storm enthusiasts.

Ocean Front

Not worth what they charge!!!
Does not sleep 6 as stated on TripAdvisor description or 4 listed on Meredith Lodging Site! Nothing at all like picture shown on website! No pull out sofa bed -a pull out sofa “trundle” that would work for a toddler… sofa well beyond need for replacement yet counted as bed for 2. Only one extra blanket and sheet set, door to deck impossible to open and didn’t lock, water damage (mold) in bathroom, cheap plastic seats on deck, filthy fan,  couldn’t event get a matching set of silverware for that price $$$.  Furniture set up with fireplace gave less than 2 foot passage way between fireplace base and sofa.  Less than helpful staff who didn’t seem to think any of our concerns were an issue…

Beware of “as is”/dealbreaker!!!

RENTER BEWARE  RE: Meredith Lodging Vacation Rentals are rented “AS IS WHERE IS” meaning if you rent a vacation home from Meredith Lodging based on what you see in the photos or description and the Vacation Home is in disrepair & in very different condition than what was advertised in the photos you will have no recourse and ML will not compensate you.  

Whale Watchers has an amazing view, but furniture is/was in disrepair such that it dramatically reduced the value of our rental & the overall enjoyment of our holiday. Independent of the furniture, “Whale Watcher’s Condo” is a fourplex and an old building with very thin walls and ceilings. On the nights when there were people in the unit above us we could hear them walking, moving and talking.   I would not recommend this unit if you are looking for peace and tranquility as there are far better options in the area.
Upon our arrival we found that some of the key advertised furniture was either destroyed, severely rusted or collapsing to a point where it was no longer comfortable or usable.  On the patio, the frame of the wicker sofa was rusted through and had collapsed. When I sat in one of the wicker chairs the rusted bottom frame collapsed (FYI - I am 200 lbs) making the chair unusable. The remaining metal bistro set and table were covered in rust and dilapidated.  The interior sofa looked cosmetically nice but as soon as we sat on the cushions we sank deep into the sofa well past the frame. No refund offered, told AS IS WHERE IS. 

RENTER BEWARE: Photos can not be trusted and if inaccurate no compensation will be offerred

Stayed here for my birthday get away, Stunning views, quiet clean beach and clean room.  The room was fully remodeled and very nice.  My only suggestion would to the owners to update linen as well.  Other than that we had an amazing weekend and we will return.  Management was awesome as well.

Wonderful Relaxing stay

Our family escaped the recent heat wave in the city at Whale Watcher Inn. When we first stepped into our unit, we were welcomed with an amazing ocean view. The porch off the kitchen was perfect to view the beautiful sunsets. Our unit was clean and recently remodeled with a new kitchen, bathroom and hardwood floors. There are good food options within walking distance from the inn (Off Shore Grill, Beach Bakeshop). Much of our stay was spent on the beach but there’s a train for the kids to ride and evenings are best spent fireside at the beach. Wood is sold at the store down the street. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the Whale Watcher Inn.
