NO CLEANING FEE! Castaway Cove- Free Kayaks, Canoe & FUN PEDAL BOAT- Near Beach!

NO CLEANING FEES - Castaway Cove, with its cool shipwreck theme, is a great fantasy getaway for a weekend or the perfect place for a family vacation! Private keypad entrance to an entire floor all to yourself.

Right off the Alsea River, 5 minutes from stunning beaches and incredible whale watching nearby. Comfy beds, cozy robes, Wi-Fi, 2 flat screen TVs w/ Dish and Netflix, Blu-ray DVD players, games, books. Full galley kitchen and all you need for cooking. Free kayaks, canoe and super fun pedal boat! Launch right from our property at high tide! Free laundry, and many other unexpected amenities.

Please read our = 5-STAR REVIEWS= for our other listing here, A Little Bit of Heaven. Also, we are Super Hosts on Airbnb, with hundreds of 5-star reviews for both Castaway Cove and A Little Bit of Heaven. Please check us out! Our goal is to provide you with all the amenities, plus the personal attention needed to help you put together the perfect vacation stay.

Castaway Cove adventure suite is in the center of the gorgeous Oregon coast, right on a tidal inlet of the beautiful Alsea River. The perfect location for a fabulous vacation.

=== *PLEASE NOTE* For the rare 1-night bookings available, a total of only 2 guests are allowed, including children and infants. PLEASE do not book more than 2 guests total WHEN IT'S A ONE NIGHT STAY as it will require a cancellation. A maximum of 2 guests total does not apply to any other booking. ===

Authentic driftwood queen-size bed with a canopy of lights overhead, cave walls that look like they came right out of Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland, a ship deck that creaks like the real thing when you walk on it, a cabin porthole door, and much more makes Castaway Cove AN ADVENTURE instead of just another place to stay! 420 sq ft of fun, with everything you might need for your stay.

Note: Both our listings are on our property in different buildings. Each has its own private entrance, and is completely separate from our home. If you have family coming for a reunion or a group for some other event, booking both places would be a great way to go!

In addition to the queen driftwood bed, there is an ultra-comfortable fold-down memory foam sofa bed, two plush, double-decker ship's berth single beds with individual lights, fans and privacy curtains, as well as a tri-fold memory foam floor mattresses for additional family or guests.

[*Please note* - 4 guests are included in the booking price with no per guest fee. You may have a total of up to 6 guests if you wish, for $25 a night per guest after the first 4 guests. This is =regardless of age= with the exception of INFANTS 8 MONTHS AND YOUNGER.]

Castaway Cove is in picturesque Waldport, located where the forest and our tidal inlet off the Alsea River meet the Alsea Bay. We have installed a keypad lock which opens with a pin number you choose yourself for safety and convenience.

Our SEVEN FREE KAYAKS -two tandems, four singles & a youth kayak a 15 1/2 FT CANOE, for seasoned canoers, plus a SUPER FUN PEDAL BOAT (and life jackets in all sizes) are available to take out every day at high tide. The design of the kayaks provides great stability, making them extremely safe and easy to use for even novice kayakers, whether fishing or kayaking. The canoe maneuvers easily, and has both youth and adult paddles. Launch right from our property when the tide is in!

When the tide is out, wildlife visitors can often be seen, depending on the time of year. Most common are blue herons, egrets, grebes, mallards, eagles and we had many pairs of mated Canada geese nesting right by our property.

You also are welcome to use our crab traps and clamming gear. Or you can borrow our beach chairs, beach towels, large beach umbrella, and portable propane barbecue, and take in the beauty of any of the gorgeous, unspoiled beaches minutes away that stretch for miles. Go explore the tide pools or go beachcombing for seashells and agates. Or take in some amazing storm watching, depending on the weather. Both the sea wall and the whale observation deck in nearby Depoe Bay offer spectacular views! You might even be surprised by the sight of a whale passing through any time of year!

We are easy to find with Hwy 101 a mile and a half away, and there is ample room for parking.

INSIDE: Well-equipped small galley kitchen has a countertop oven that will cook a 12" pizza or 9"x13" pan, 2 cooktop burners, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, French press & a 7.5 cu ft fridge. 12 other appliances for your use are on shelves in the laundry room -a large air fryer, blender, electric skillet, big electric griddle, 2 crock pots, Instant Pot, waffle irons (inclosing a Mickey Mouse one), rice cooker, pizzelle maker, breadmaker & hand mixer.

There are two flat screen TVs with Dish & Netflix that operate separately so different programs can be watched, Blu-ray DVD players for movies, Wi-Fi, 4-drawer dresser, luggage rack, hangers, plush spa robes, blow dryer and more... Outlets throughout the apartment suite have USB outlets for your various devices.

The laundry room is free to use at your convenience, and includes basic laundry supplies, iron and ironing board. We will refresh your sheets and towels as you wish!

LOCATION: Perfect for vacation, right in the middle of everything on the beautiful Oregon Coast with Newport and its historic Bayfront on one side, and Yachats (listed by travel guru Arthur Frommer as one of his Top Ten favorite travel destinations in the world) on the other.

Waldport "where the forest meets the sea" as Alsea Bay greets the Pacific Ocean, is home to unique shops and some great restaurants. You can clam in the bay, crab off the dock, fish in the river, and walk the many gorgeous beaches.

The towns north and south offer great restaurants, shops, museums, lighthouses, charter fishing, whale watching boat tours, and more.

The famous Sea Lion Cave is 30 minutes south, and Depoe Bay, with its spectacular whale watching (right from the sea wall or out on a tour boat) is 40 minutes north.

Waldport is in the middle of it all!

Let us know what your interests are and we will suggest restaurants, parks, attractions, and other activities to help you make great memories.

Great for Grands!
Our two grandsons ages 10 and 8 were so excited about our accommodations. We visited the aquarium in Newport and did local hikes but they couldn't wait to return to our Castaway Cove each day. The boats and crabtraps were a favorite. Thank you for the memorable trip.

Super cute and had everything we needed
The property was as advertised. The hosts were in good communication to make sure we got there safe and wouldn't have issues finding the place. Our kids thought it was the coolest! Beds were super comfy. We had everything we needed and the hosts took the time to make sure we were all set; even though we didn't want for anything else. They also gave recommendations that we were happy we took them up on. Thanks for making our stay pleasant!

EXCELLENT!!
This place is absolutely magical!! The love and attention to detail that Kelly and Ellie have put into this space is phenomenal. There were fresh baked cookies on the table for us when we arrived!! 😍 Literally the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on, and the canopy captain’s bed was absolutely dreamy! The kids loved their bunks, with individual lights, charging stations and even little fans! Many great board games and DVD’s available. I was worried about cooking in the limited kitchen since my husband has food allergies and we can’t eat out, but the hot plates and toaster oven were more than sufficient! And there were other cooking appliances we didn’t take advantage of. All the little helpful instructions posted about the rental are even in pirate’s jargon! And the hosts were available at a moment’s notice when we needed anything! They even provided tide tables, along with a TON of info about things to do in the surrounding area. We look forward to our next visit to Castaway Cove!

Quick Family Getaway
Kelly and Ellie really made our stay amazing. They were so helpful with things to do and places to eat. Their knowledge of the local area and things to do was impressive. The room did not disappoint. The attention to detail to really make it feel like more than just a suite, it was 5 star. Our kids loved the cave theme. The separation of space is wonderful as well, it feels so much bigger than the pictures show. The view of the inlet was gorgeous, we saw several different types of birds. We will be booking again for sure, so we can do some kayaking.

Magical!
Great hosts, probably the best service we've ever encountered, and so clean! This place was immaculate and very well thought out in the decor and styling. Such a fun place for our family to stay during this trip to the Oregon Coast! The place was also stocked with a few breakfast essentials to get us by the first morning after checking in before we made it to the store. There are more than enough cooking appliances to prepare simple meals, probably even a little more complicated that what we chose to do as we wanted to spend our time exploring the many things to do and see on the property as well as nearby. We would definitely stay again next time we're in the area, and I will recommend to all of my friends heading that way as well.

A hidden gem on the Oregon coast.
Our family stayed here for 10 days on our trip to the Oregon coast. We wanted a location that was centrally located so we could use it as a home base for our trips up and down the coast. The location was perfect but more than that the place was perfect. Kelly and Ellie have created an amazing and charming place to stay. Everything, and I mean everything, fits with the Castaway Cove theme they have created. The place is charming, the beds are cozy, the location is perfect. The way they have gone above and beyond is what makes this place extra special - robes for everyone, special face cloths to use for taking off make up, extra lighting in the bathroom for doing your make up, fans and usb ports in the bunks so the teenagers could keep their devices charged and so much more. Kelly and Ellie really are super hosts. They greeted us when we arrived and showed us all around our home away from home as well as the rest of the property. They even offered to help carry in our stuff! They were easy to communicate with and responded promptly if we did have a question. They are warm and welcoming and easy to get along with. We wish we lived closer so we could stay there more often.

Great little space to spend time with our family of five- kids aren't littles- all taller than me, but they had the space they needed to enjoy themselves. Really enjoyed the big mix of games available to play- we fell in love with Phase 10! Hosts were very gracious and welcoming- welcome cookies was a great touch! I'm an amateur birder, but forgot my binoculars- they immediately lent us two- along with an Oregon bird book! We brought those everywhere and I got quite a lot of life birds! So nice to have access to laundry- and no need for detergent and very quick cycles! Could not recommend these amazing hosts enough! Thank you for a great visit!

Sweet 16 Girls Trip!
We stayed here for my daughters 16th birthday. When I say that it was above and beyond what we could have expected that it putting it lightly! This place was GREAT!!! From the amenities, to the robes and fuzzy socks, FUZZY SOCKS!!!!, to the personal touches such as all our names on a chalk board with the weather report, so many games, cookies, breakfast & snack food, condiments in the fridge, chilled water bottles, and did I mention the fuzzy socks?! We ended up having an extra person and Kelly immediately grabbed extra cookies, a water bottle, an extra robe and a chair for the table. It was truly an amazing experience and made for awesome sweet 16th birthday memories for my daughter. 10 out of 10 WOULD RECCOMEND!!

Amazing themed stay!
Kelly and Ellie were amazing hosts. They have put an outstanding amount of effort into every detail of the room. Absolutely everything including the bathroom sink and down to the kitchen crockery is themed. Even extras like treasure chests on kids beds for their treasures during the stay. Our 6 and 8 year old boys absolutely loved it. We admittedly didn't use too much of all the extra things available to us but they should be mentioned - kayaks, pedal boats, waffle makers, air fryers. Though being able to get some washing done last minute was handy as we had last minute changes to our next destination! Only thing bed was exceedingly soft so not ideal for everyone, but that's personal preference. It feels wonderful to sink into it but the back can feel it next day. Communication great too. So much information beforehand and very flexible to your arrival time but onhand to show you everything. I would absolutely recommend an amazing experience and I hope we get back there on another visit to family in Oregon sometime - thank you so much for all your efforts - it's fantastic!

Family-friendly great place to stay
Stayed 4 nights in Castaway Cove, and was very impressed with the amenities and attention to detail. We were staying with our 2 young kids, and Kelly and Ellie helped every step of the way. They were so helpful in getting items to help manage kids. The included games, movies, and netflix were a huge hit. The kayaks were fun and easy to use. There was laundry on-site, which was definitely useful. Would definitely stay again when we travel to the Oregon Coast.
