Beachfront vacation rentals in Bay City

This was our second trip to The Rocky Whale in the last six months. We love it here. For us, the location is incredible. We spend as much time on the beach possible and being able to cross the street to the dune path and be at the ocean in less than 5 minutes is incredible. Low-tide tide pools? Check. Entire groups of seals? Check. Eagles? Check. Milky Way on a clear night? Also check! We are grateful for the ability to bring our dogs and the big open space downstairs to be able to house their crates. The bed/bath/kitchen has always been clean and comfortable and when the storms come through being able to hang out in the big living space upstairs and keep ourselves entertained (tv… storm… games.. etc) has come in handy. The kitchen is well appointed. We eat in when we stay here and there is nothing we haven’t been able to handle (sometimes a little improvisation is needed!) We were never able to find the tv remote on our second trip… but there is an app for that.

We enjoyed our stay at Janell's place, it is 5 minutes or less from the beach and has beautiful views right from the windows. The house is extremely clean and well-furnished and the neighborhood is quiet and walkable. We went to Rockaway which is about 5 minutes away by car - Tillamook is about 10 minutes away also, so there is plenty to do if you want to check out a city, see stores and restaurants, grab a drink etc. We are nature people but we also like to see local cities. The weather gods graced us with perfect spring days and it was a relaxing and refreshing stay. Thank you!

Great little house on the beach. Very clean, updated but still has the vintage vibe. Beach access from the home is down the large rip rap Boulder wall, it was easy for us agile folks and our 3 yo navigated it well. Beautiful views from the porch and large picture windows. Great for 4 adults and 1 child. Thanks for hosting!

Carol was an amazing host, very responsive and offered early check-in! The home was super comfy and housed our 8 woman book club well. Really loved the quiet, the hot tub, and the short walk onto the beach. Would definitely stay again!!

Pros: Easy entrance Host’s response time was quick House was clean and free of clutter House was well stocked with soap and such Nice fenced in back yard for the dog Hardwood floors in all main living areas Nice cute bedrooms Quick easy walk to beach Beautiful ocean view from the main living area Cons: No kitchen scissors Kitchen table tips if you lean on it, but it’s a nice big table with comfy chairs, so it’s fair trade

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! The location alone was outstanding. The house was so well thought out, it had everything you could have needed or wanted. It was very clean and very cozy! I will definitely be staying here again!

Terri’s beach house was across the highway from the beach. It was very easy to walk to a beautiful beach location. There were shops and other amenities within walking distance. The house was very clean and well appointed. We were able to cook Thanksgiving dinner using all necessary and available cooking equipment! The house has a lot of stairs, so it was a little challenging for my elderly parents. The bonus room was great for my kids who are both in college, but be aware that this room is in the back of the garage and not close to a bathroom. The primary bedroom was beautiful!

By far, this was the best place we have stayed at. Easy to find. Loved walking the beach and the neighborhood. Very welcoming for us and our dog. The snacks were great after traveling all day. We appreciated the wine. Very personable and loved how the house was decorated. The extra personal supplies came in handy since my daughter forgot her toothbrush. We absolutely just loved looking out at the ocean. Thank you. We will be back.

Thank you Lisa! We had a lovely stay at “The Hemingway”!

Our stay at Matthew’s was lovely. Olivia beach is a great area and we had a great time hiking God’s thumb!

This is a great place, I’ve stayed twice. Love the onsite parking, hot tub on the balcony, kitchen with everything needed. It’s very close walk to the beach, about a block away. Activity room only has a pool table and TV, would be cool to see another pool table or shuffle board added.

Stay was enjoyable and comfortable, Hot tub was great. After walk on beach and so was the fire place. Didn't find any floats on the beach, might have come try again. Thanks for all the great communication Tim.

Great walkable location, you will hear noise from the pool and street depending on your location. This is located in a timeshare property so expect to be asked to attend a presentation - we declined and weren’t bothered further. Rooms are nice, but tight for 8 people. There were bags of laundry and sheets piled in the room when we checked in, called the Front Desk and they sent someone to remove them quickly. Appreciate unit being stocked with pool towels. There was body wash, shampoo and conditioner on the tubs/shower. Had a great stay.

The home we stayed in was beautiful and had more then enough room for everyone in our party. Any questions we had were answered immediately . Brandon was a wonderful Host we will defiantly recommend this place to anyone !!!! super close to the beach and A cute little park. Happy Beach vacationers, The Dunham's

Amazing view and sunset. Decorated so cute. Had everything we needed. loved the fact the beach was so close, I could sit on the comfort of the living room and watchbthe kids play in the sand. Definitely going to go back.

We had such a wonderful stay! The condo was so cute, relaxing, well equipped and clean. The ocean view was great! Being able to open the balcony door and listen to the ocean as we relaxed on the couch was perfect! The kitchen had everything we needed and the bed was so comfortable! Check in and out was so easy. Close to great restaurants. We definitely would recommend staying here!

This home provided a perfect space to enjoy a weekend at the beach. The living space is comfortable, modern, and suits the surroundings. It was great to enjoy the sound of the ocean from the couch (as well as the hot tub). Everything is available within a short drive - Great food, grocery, etc.

We had a wonderful time, the beach access is unmatched, endless entertainment for the kids. Compared to most airbnb’s, very clean, comfortable beds, and also appreciated the amenities. Host was nice enough to accommodate check in time too. Would definitely stay again in the future, highly recommend!

My friends and I visited from Portland for the weekend, and we had a wonderful time at Max's place! The location is fantastic - easy to find and a quick two minute walk to the beach - and the house itself is charming and cozy. The fireplace was a hit, especially in the chilly evenings or after taking a dip in the freezing ocean. It warmed up the top level and we were comfortable the whole time. Check in was easy, there was plenty of space for our party of four, and we loved it. I absolutely recommend staying at Max's place!

If you are looking for a place to stay along the Oregon Coast- this is it! Breathtaking view of Oceanside Beach and located such that you are short drives from all the Tillamook area has to offer-scenic drives, the Three Capes, fantastic hiking, and don't miss Tunnel Beach (at low tide) one mile away! Beds were comfy, super clean and a well stocked kitchen (extra points for that!) Make sure you read Chrystie's description about the hike to the beach-it is a hike- but we loved it! Grateful for a great weekend with friends at Captains Quarters.

Had a great stay at Dee’s place for Easter with family from Wisconsin. Cozy home with breathtaking views.

We loved our stay here - super cozy & comfortable. Bed was so warm & cozy. Amazing location, super quick walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved spending time at the Sand Gate! You can't beat the location, with direct beach access. We could watch the sunset while on the beach, or view it directly from the house! Unbelievable views of the ocean! We also loved the hot tub after a day of playing outside. The house itself is old, and a bit quirky, but we had a great time nevertheless. Lori was great to communicate with when a small issue arose, and it was quickly fixed.

We had such a wonderful annual girls weekend at the coast. Wonderful view from most of the house. Easy access to the beach. The house was beautiful with everything we could have wanted in a home.
