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 location!

We really enjoyed this beautiful little town! The home sits right on the water as pictured! Just a short walk down the street is the Yachats park that you can check out starfish and other beautiful creatures at low tide. Walking distance to restaurants and stores! Loved our stay!

Amazing view and great location. Only small issue is that the parking spot is a bit small so it is a tight fit for larger vehicles.

The location of this property was amazing. And maybe the best part was the neighbors to the west, who gave us all kinds of helpful tips for the area. It was very spacious and just awesome

Stellar, with one exception

We loved location and house, which was clean and well equipped. The only problem was that we were notified by voicemail that the washer/dryer didn’t work. (Quite a disappointment at a beach location!). No apology, no effort to offset inconvenience with discount or other laundry access. They didn’t make the unit break, but they certainly could have handled it with more consideration.

While being quite dated (as openly admitted in the listing), this property is comfortable and provides everything one needs. The great ocean/river mouth view supplies ever-changing views of wildlife and the magnificence of the ocean.

Great view of river and bay

We took turns laying in the long seat by the window, watching the river and waves of the bay. Kitchen had all the tools we needed, but there are several great restaurants in the area too.

Wonderful view and comfortable cottage

We always enjoy our stay at this cottage. We come to Yachats for about a week in the summer and love the view , the proximity to town, the serenity and the house itself. This year, the floors, linens, kitchen supplies, washer/dryer and furniture were updated which makes it even nicer. The combination of water views and convenience to town is exceptional.

Eclipse Get Away

We made a trip to Yachats to watch the eclipse. Unfortunately the Oregon weather didn’t cooperate; however, all was not lost. Our stay here was very relaxing and a great getaway. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Plus it was walking distance to everything in town.
