The Whale Watcher- 3rd story Condo with Ocean Views & Private Beach Access!

Get away from it all or stay connected to it all in this wonderful condo. This condo is great for a romantic getaway or a fun-filled family vacation. Enjoy the view of the waves washing up on the beach or the white water washing over the offshore rocks. Watch otters, whales, seagulls, pelicans, fishing boats, and the occasional surfers.

This is a great home base for all that the Southern Oregon Coast has to offer. You can jump right onto the coast hiking trail from the condo for hours of hiking exploration. Rent kayaks for a river or ocean trip.

Charter a boat for a great fishing experience with a local guide, or try your hand for Surf Perch right from the beach. There are days worth of hiking and beach trails all within 20 min from home.

When you are ready to come in from the great outdoors this condo greets you with superior amenities. Stay connected with high-speed Wi-Fi (bring your own laptop). Enjoy your favorite TV shows, sports teams, and movies on the high-definition flat-screen TV located in the living room. Light a toasty fire and grab a good book or a loved one and snuggle up for a quiet evening.

There is a great jetted tub to soak road or trail weary bones. Books, puzzles, and great views are all available for your pleasure. Of course, this home is stocked with all the necessities of a functioning home. Linens, beach towels, cookware, etc. are all ready for your use.

This condo was the perfect home base for our adventures. It was comfy- from the beds, to the couches, and the little deck! The private beach was a highlight- tide pools, sand, and beautiful sunsets.

Beautiful views and quiet beach
Spacious condo with beautiful views. The path to the beach is steep but manageable in sandals. Kitchen and baths were dated but functional. Short distance from town. The wifi and tv didn't work, but after speaking with the property manager they provided us a discount. Wish there were more games or cards to play in the evenings since the tv didn't work. The one deck of cards provided was missing the 8 of diamonds. Would stay here again.

Beautiful view and great location!
We stayed at the Whale Watcher for 5 nights and the condo was tastefully decorated and located within an easy drive to the Oregon Redwoods. The condo is closer to a road than we thought it would be from the pictures so there was road noise we hadn’t expected but it was a minor issue for us as we could still hear the waves and the noise wasn’t noticeable at night. We are already planning to come back to this property!

Fabulous Views!
Lovely condo! Well equipped and appointed, with the most incredible views of the ocean. Clean, and ready and good communication. Great location, close to Brookings. It is a third floor WALKUP, and the trail to the beach is Not for the faint of heart or anyone with difficulty hiking. We were two women in mid-70’s, who made it down and up once! But chose to drive to the beach after that! But the Cave and Rainbow Rock, on the very private beach, made it worth the trip down (an up, up, up).

Spectacular Views
This condo offered spectacular views and a long path down to a private beach. The cave at Rainbow Rock was amazing, but check for low tides before exploring. Condo was as described. Bathrooms were clean and the bed in the MB was very comfy. The living room and lookout areas were great, especially since it started raining the minute we arrived! Plenty of games and books to choose from - we played a lot of chess while waiting for the rain to pass. Kitchen was well-stocked but missing the essential tools for eating the wonderful Dungeness crabs that are available fresh from the harbor. Our only real disappointment was that the kitchen cabinets, which have no handles and are spring-loaded to open, were quite dirty with lots of greasy finger prints. All-in-all, it was a GREAT weekend!

Spectacular views of the ocean are its best feature. We were a little disappointed that the accessible beach area was small and mostly large rocks and logs. But, the location is close to many other nice walking beachs. Also, disappointed in the fireplace because the only fuel was 1 duralog. A gas fueled fireplace would have been much more useful.

Only cons about property is the shower head in bathrooms are set up for someone who is 4 feet tall and shoots a hard stream of water out of nozzzle…….with amount owner charges you would think that kind of upgrade would be affordable…….

We were here before in 2019 and came back. Like it. You can walk to the beach (Lone Ranch Beach) to the north through the trail by the bench area on the north side of the parking lot or from the marker for the trailhead on Hwy 101 outside the gate. In our opinion, that is the best beach and park for many miles in both directions.

Our favorite part of family vacation💕
We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here during our family vacation. So peaceful and quiet! The view of the ocean is breathtaking. A very nice and unexpected surprise was all the privacy on the beach. We walked the lovely trail down to the beach every day and marveled at the rock formations, trees, flowers, vast expanse of sky and ocean, and sound of the waves. Beds were super comfortable although we didn’t use the fireplace, it was so nice to have that option available. Just the peace and relaxation that we needed!
