Secluded beach access makes this place a gem!
Cozy and situated near the beach with a private trail! Was great for staying with pets and going on walks. Great value for the price.

Location... Location...Location
My favorite aspect of this property was the location just a very short distance outside of the center of Depoe Bay. This makes the location ideal. All the amenities of Depot Bay are very close and convenient but you get to avoid the noise and congestion of being downtown. Also, access to the beach is PERFECT! A pleasant 1 minute walk from your door with private, grassy areas/picnic tables and BBQ along the way. When you arrive on the beach you are centrally located with miles of wide and open beach both north and south of your location. We look forward to going back. This will be our number one choice for lodging when we do!

Great location/Amenities need updating
Good location for anyone wanting a place away from the crowds but close enough of a drive if you want to check out Newport or Depoe bay. Only cons I had is the fridge never got cold so all the food we had bought for our stay got spoiled and had to be tossed out so that was waste of $100 in the trash. The toilet needs replaced, after you flush you have to make sure the seal in the tank closes otherwise the water keeps running I had to lift the lid on the tank to ensured it sealed correctly multiple times. And just need a bigger tv. Pros: great location and a great price and also quiet area no drive through traffic.

Ocean view?
We were very disappointed to find that the above Vacasa listing that showed ocean views wastotally overgrown with absolutely no glimpse of the ocean. We took pictures if you would like to see them. We contacted vacasa through their contact and 2 different agents said that they would get back to us right away. A week has passed and we still have had no contact. Perhaps you could follow up on the service they are providing.

Mark - thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your stay. The listing has been updated to remove the ocean view from the description and the amenities page a while back to help better set guest expectations. We hope to have an opportunity to host and impress you in the future.

Misleading listing
We thought we rented a chalet type bungalow but we actually got a downstairs apartment. The people above us were really loud but we were gone most of the time. We loved the Oregon coast and had a wonderful vacation. The drapes and blinds should be upgraded to cover the entire window, other than that it was clean and worked for our needs. It would be great if you could open the windows or if there was a screen on the sliding door to air it out and help with humidity.

This property is wonderful for its location, proximity to a beautiful beach, and value. One thing to note is that it does not have an ocean view because the shrubs have grown up to cover the view. We were disappointed by this, given the description here. However, the studio was more like a one-bedroom apartment, and was surprisingly spacious. Although it looks like it hasn't been renovated since the 1970s, it's clean and well-maintained. Definite "vintage" vibe, but I chose it because it is pet friendly. They maintain a beautiful trail down to the ocean with plenty of grassy space, and the trees are beautiful. However, the Expedia description made no mention of the pet fee which is per pet and per night. I wasn't informed of this until I received an email a month after booking, and because the email came from Vrbo and Vacasa, and not Expedia, I assumed it was spam. The pet fee should be made clear instead of simply stating "dogs welcome" and the emails should come from Expedia when booking on Expedia, not another company entirely. Communication was therefore not great, although once I established that the Vacasa emails were indeed legitimate, those people were responsive.

Good location and fair price
Although the property and furniture was older, I was impressed with the cleanliness and presentation. I felt that the price was fair and I liked how the location was not right in Newport but only a short 10 minute drive from there. Overall 8/10 rating.

Very Pleasant Stay
Comfortable, cute apartment. Onsite property manager of grounds was very welcoming and helpful. It was well kept up, and quiet. The apartment and other units were off the street, so quiet. There is a private walk to the baech with nice grounds.We had a large group above us that had dogs and were a bit noisy, but they obeyed the noise rules. The unit has a comfortable bed, with great linens and basics for cooking in the kitchenette. The sofa is old and not comfortable. There is not any view sitting on the balcony and property manager is working on a solution to improving the view. This was a great location for us and beaches with streams for rock hunting.

The room was perfect for a couple. Cozy, full amenities, perfect location.
The property was fantastic. Right on the coast, barely minutes from the Devil's Punchbowl (which is an incredible sight, make sure to take the short hike down to the beach at low tide). 10 minutes from Depoe Bay (whale watching, charter fishing, quaint town) and Newport (sea lions on the pier, Oregon Aquarium, larger town for shopping needs), not to mention all the amazing places to stop on the coast, like the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, and countless little turn offs for amazing views. Between Depoe and Newport, there's at least 4 unique beaches: sand, rocky, black sand, and dunes. Each is different and all within about a 30 mile stretch. It's an incredible place to visit for a week, and will make you want to stay forever.

Disapointed with rental and customer service
First, Alpine Chalet's rental for me was not a chalet at all. It was the lower floor of a four until, outdated square building. Coupled with the noise upstairs visitors, this made for a disappointing rental experience. When I contacted Vacasa to let them know I was cutting my trip short and requested a refund for Saturday night, I never - and still not have - received a response. Be sure to not rent Units 1 or 2, as they are not chalets. On the plus side, the beach access is incredible. My dogs and I were virtually alone on the beach all morning each day that I did stay there. There's a lovely picnic area that's reserved for guests. If I'd been able to stay in an actual stand alone chalet (which is why I use VRBO; if I wanted a hotel, I'd book a hotel), this would probably be a three or four star review. But the actual unit, and the lack of customer service, are too important for more than 1 star.
