About this house rental
Gardner Family House #2 - Meredith Lodging
This lower-floor unit of a sweet family home has astounding views of Depoe
Bay—step out the door onto the grassy lawn and you’ll find yourself on a low, rocky
cliff above the ocean strewn with kelp and foam. Seabirds, seals, and whales may be
fishing in the surf below you, and scanning the horizon can reward you with the
sight of blasts of whale spouts. Inside you’ll enjoy a dining table with ocean views, a
cozy, fully equipped kitchen, and a living room with a wood fireplace and
TV/DVD/VCR. The queen bedroom has a TV and an adorable short twin bed perfect
for kids.
Walk across the harbor bridge to the breakfront, enjoy
investigating the row of Depoe Bay’s interesting shops, or catch a Zodiac whale-
watching boat across the street at the Whale and Shark Museum. There’s Thai food
across the highway or seafood at the Spouting Horn or Tidal Raves. Everything you
need for a great vacation is within walking distance and you’re a half hour from
Newport or Lincoln City by car. Don’t miss the unforgettable magic of this wonderful
location—you’ll immediately understand why locals and visitors alike flock to this
point for the best views of the bay!

Amazing views and easy walking distance to the local shops. The whales were migrating south, we saw 14 different whale spots. Place was perfect for my family of four. 20 minutes either direction for supplies. Would stay here again in the future.

This unit is right on the boat entrance to the harbor. Years ago I lived in Depoe Bay and spent time on the docks. Staying here brings back a lot of good memories. The unit is clean and very functional, but nothing fancy. It could use several things to make it more guest friendly. A coat rack near the door, an umbrella stand, a box of Kleenex, a charging station to charge and set phones, iPads, etc on. The shower head in the tub needs to be fixed as it just shots out a heavy stream of water no matter what setting it is turned too. As I said, the unit is functional and I enjoy staying there, but there are amenities that could be added to bring up the rating.

We enjoyed our stay in the Gardner Family House number 2. I would recommend looking into the bathroom fan. I believe it needs to be cleaned or replaced. Pretty noisy and I'm pretty sure that's the issue. Others left comments about the ledge at the bottom of the window in the bathroom. It isn't designed well and I can guarantee water is slowly getting into the wall from the shower head. I would suggest looking into repairing it before it dry rots the wall. The directions left by Meredith are pretty generic. You can't start a load of laundry because there isn't a washer or dryer. You can't start a load of dishes because there isn't a dish washer. It didn't bother us but the instructions don't follow what amenities are available in the Gardner house. We didn't use the fireplace but read about complaints about it. I would recommend putting a cover plate over the fireplace or maybe change it to an electric one. People don't know how to use fireplaces anymore and I wouldn't take the risk personally of having guests starting fires. You don't need the heat. Maybe convert it to an electric or something but there is plenty of electric heat in the house. I posted about our stay on Facebook and quickly realized one of my co-workers Jean Nichols was a relative who used to celebrate many holidays in the house when she was growing up. Small world. We enjoyed our stay and these are just suggestions if I was the owner of the home. We plan on staying here again. I really enjoy Depoe Bay!

Nice place to stay, it was clean and friendly. All the photos are from the upper apartment, we had the lower apartment, still has good views of the ocean, but not quite what we expected. Also had no shower soap, and no coffee. had to make a run to the store. I would suggest at least having a. single coffee pot pod available!
