The space
Castaway Cove Adventure Suite has an authentic driftwood bed with drop-down canopy curtains for privacy and tiny 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 beautiful sink made from a giant clam shell (realistic artisan replica), and much more, making Castaway Cove AN ADVENTURE instead of just another place to stay! 520 sq ft of fun, with everything you might need for your stay. Our goal is to provide you with all the amenities, plus the personal attention needed to help you put together the perfect vacation stay.

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. We have installed a keypad lock which opens with a pin number you choose yourself for safety and convenience.

7 FREE KAYAKS (3 tandems, 3 singles, & 1 youth kayak), a 15 1/2' canoe, along with life jackets in all sizes are here for you to have a fabulous experience out on the water! Every day you can launch right from our property at high tide. Guests sometimes see seals who swim along with them nearby, or follow watching curiously, in addition to other wildlife. Enjoy the beautiful Alsea River and Bay, creating memories you will never forget!

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, and we had many pairs of mated Canada geese nesting right by our property. Eagles nest in a nearby tree, and are seen and heard flying overhead almost every day.

Castaway Cove is in picturesque Waldport, located where the forest and our tidal inlet off the Alsea River meet the Alsea Bay.

Note: We also have another listing on our property, A Little Bit of Heaven, in a different building, which also 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!

We have several baby items available for our guests to use, so they don't have to bring a ton of things from home:
= Pack n Play with sleeping mattress (or not)
= high chair
= booster seat
= diaper genie
= bed bumpers
= disposable waterproof sleeping pads

You are welcome to use our crab traps and clamming gear. Or you can borrow our beach chairs, beach towels, sand toys, large beach umbrella, and portable propane barbecue and/or our portable fire pit, both with all BBQ cooking tools, 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!

We are easy to find with Hwy 101 a mile and a half away, and there is ample room for parking. Please note that sometimes during the day, road noise might be able to be heard.

Neighborhood highlights

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, go on wonderful top-rated nature hikes, and stroll the many gorgeous beaches.

The towns north and south also offer great restaurants, shops, museums and more. Beautiful Florence, 50 minutes south, has its dunes with exciting dune buggy tours, as well as its wonderful seaport town charm. 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!

Although Castaway Cove isn't right next to the road, sometimes in the day there may be some sound from the road.

Lives in Waldport, Oregon
We love living here on the beautiful Oregon coast. Every day we look around and say, "We live in a vacation!" We also so enjoy being able to share it all with our guests in A Little Bit of Heaven and Castaway Cove, both here on the property we live on, right on an inlet to the Alsea River, and five minutes from stunning beaches. Our goal is to have everything that our guests may want during their stay already there. We always ask departing guests for a wish list of additional items we could add to whichever place they stayed, and if something happens to be mentioned, we then provide it for our future guests. We love what we get to do! Kelly & Ellie
