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.

Love this place!

This is our 4th or 5th time staying here and the location never disappoints. Whether the sky is blue and ocean is calm or there is a huge storm, the view is always incredible! And they've updated the kitchen to add a dishwasher, making this place perfect!

Cozy location on a cold, rainy and windy weekend.

This property provided us a perfect, relaxing weekend. Very clean and well-appointed house. Perfect location for restaurants, shops and trails. Highly recommend the Drift-Inn for dinner and breakfast. The house location is just a short walk from the 804 trail. Very cool watching the waves and tidal changes at the mouth of the Yachats River.

Clean and Gorgeous view

Upon arrival to this quaint house we were happy to be able to park right in the property. Easy access into the house and we were greeted with a clean, nice smelling home. The kitchen was upgraded and information about the rules and property were easy to find. Rooms were lovely. The view was so stunning it took our breath away. What a beautiful home. It created amazing memories!!

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.

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.
