Whaleshead Beach Resort

We stayed in ov3 for the weekend. We had a nice weekend exploring the beautiful beaches in the area and other interesting places. Stefanie’s restaurant has the best breakfast anywhere!!! The cabin was “meh” it was weirdly laid out and decorated. We found heavily soiled pillows and blankets in the closets. The bedspread was soiled and many of the dishes in the cupboard were dirty. Old milk in the fridge. Torn screens on the windows were taped up with clear tape! Bathtub was filthy used body wash left in shower. Do not use signs on w/d. hot tub was kinda gross. The cover is shot and totally saturated making it very heavy to take off and worse to put back on. No cover lift! Two weird jets above water line that annoyingly and loudly spray into the air, no way to shut them off! Deck overlooks 101 and you can definitely hear and see cars racing by! Keep in mind that each cabin is individually owned so it’s the owners responsibility to maintain the property, but you would think that the management would have some rules in place where owners must abide by certain criteria. For the money we spent we were kinda disappointed. Probably will not stay there again unless we could inspect the cabin beforehand and decline without being charged! Only in an alternate world would that be possible!! ;)

This resort got a rating of 2 instead of 1 only because the front desk people were friendly, & the bed was comfortable. It’s our first & last stay there. The house is a crazy layout, stained couch, dirty dishes & silverware. A small outbuilding by the hot tub had a broken window & appeared very unkept. The main large windows had a view of the hot tub & this outbuilding. Finding the OV at OV11 took some searching. So disappointing.

Our group of seven rented a 3- bedroom (I-7). What a crazy layout. The master BR enters via the laundry room, or via a narrow kitchen hallway. How narrow? You have to turn sideways to get by the refrigerator. (Unless the fridge door is open, then you can’t get through. ) The second BR has bunk beds shoehorned in. No free space to be had. The third BR has been carved from the garage. Separate entrance and no bath. Those lucky folks get to use the master bath, by going outside and reentering at the laundry room. On the plus side, all the appliances worked.

Beautiful ocean view cottages. The resort is charming. We stayed in unit U7 - it was clean, nicely decorated and every worked and was up to date. The units are individually owned so there are some inconsistencies between the units. Unit U7 was perfect - have already booked our next visit. Brookings is definitely a jewel of the Oregon Coast.
