Which Depoe Bay condo should I rent?

One of the questions we get asked often is “Which condo should I book in Depoe Bay?” Keystone Vacation Rentals manages condos at the Village at North Pointe complex, as well as two independently owned condos. Which condo is best for you depends on your needs and desires.

All condos in Depoe Bay have some fabulous standard amenities, like gas fireplaces, free wireless internet, and in-unit laundry facilities.

Guests at our Snuggle Inn and Snuggle Up properties have fabulous ocean views and the privacy that comes from being a few blocks from the beach.

Guests at the Village at North Pointe have access to a clubhouse with a community hot tub, pool, fitness facility and 19-seat movie theater. All condos at the Village at North Pointe also feature large oceanfront decks or patios.

The primary differences between Depoe Bay condos are:

  • Oceanfront or ocean view

  • Condo size

  • Floor level

Ocean Front vs Ocean View

The Village at North Pointe condos are all oceanfront, while the Snuggle Inn and Snuggle up are located a few blocks from the beach on the east side of Highway 101. Beach access from both properties is approximately a mile down the highway.

Hot tip: You can preview the view from each unit in the pictures on each vacation rental listing.

Condo size

The Village at North Pointe has one, two and three bedroom condos available. The Snuggle properties are both two bedrooms, two bathrooms. Properties range in size from 837 square feet to over 1700 square feet. The size variance between our Depoe Bay condos means that there are units perfect for couples seeking privacy, families with children, and getaways with friends.

Floor Level

The Village at North Pointe has an elevator to all floor levels, with exception of a private top floor condo that requires walking one flight of stairs. The Snuggle Inn and Snuggle Up are accessible by stairs. All condos have excellent views, and floor level is primarily a personal preference.

Which condo should I book at Pacific Winds?

One of the questions we get asked often is “Which condo should I book at the Pacific Winds in Lincoln City?” With multiple condos to choose from in the same complex, this is an excellent question. And the answer varies depending on your needs and desires.

All condos at the Pacific Winds complex in Lincoln City have some fabulous standard amenities, like river rock gas fireplaces, patios and balconies with private hot tubs, free wi-fi, an indoor heated pool, and fitness facility, covered garage parking, elevator access and more.

The primary differences between units are:

  • Floor level
  • Floor plan
  • Furnishings

Floor Level

Since Pacific Winds is located on a bluff approximately 50 feet above sea level, all four floors have great views and privacy from the patio or balcony. Guests with young children may be more comfortable on the ground floor, so they don’t have to worry about the noise of young ones running around. With all floor elevator access, accessibility isn’t an issue.

Floor Plan

There are three standard floor plans:

  • Master ocean view, which features a narrower living room so that both the living room and master bedroom are ocean front.
  • Living room ocean view, which features a wider living room with broader windows.
  • Corner unit, which features a living room ocean view with windows on two walls.

All units, regardless of layout, are 1100 square feet.

Fun idea: We have some guests who pick a different unit floor level and floor plan each stay for their first few stays to determine if they have a favorite.

Furnishings

Furniture is the most subjective criteria. Units vary between king, queen and twin beds. Some units sleep 6 with the addition of a Murphy bed or sofa sleeper in the living room. Couches, recliners, chairs, and decorations also distinguish between the look and feel of each unit.

Planning Tip: The details page for each condo goes into more detail on bed types, the number of guests each unit sleeps and extra-special amenities. All pictures are current and can give a good indication of whether or not the furniture will suit your needs.
