Welcome to Ocean Cove Inn

... in the Heart of Yachats Village

 

The Ocean Cove Inn is a small, charming motel situated on the south end of Yachats Village on the Central Oregon Coast. We offer eight individually decorated guest rooms and the gracious services of our hosts, Charlie Lawson and Claudia Price, who look forward to making your stay a memorable one.

The Ocean Cove Inn is a no-pet, no-smoking motel. Each of our guest rooms accommodates one or two guests. If you are looking for Yachats lodging that accommodates pets, in-room smoking, or more than two guests per room, we encourage you to check the Yachats Area Chamber of Commerce/Lodging web page for local hotels and motels that meet your needs.

Our eight guest rooms are located in two unique buildings:

Upper Building —The Upper Building is the site of the original Ocean Cove Inn, which has been in operation for almost 20 years. The Upper Building, which includes four guest rooms, the office, and the managers’ quarters, sits on the southwest slope of a small hill facing the Pacific Ocean. The rooms are accessible by exterior stairs or a ramp. Each room (Sunset, Alsea, Shell, and Perpetua) has sliding French doors that open onto a common deck with individual seating areas so you can relax and enjoy the view.

Lower Building — The Lower Building is nestled between the Upper Building and Whale Park, a tiny public park that is home to a one-of-a-kind spouting whale art sculpture. The Lower Building, which is the former site of the Ocean Cove Retail Shops, was converted to four guest rooms in Spring 2011. Each room (Agate, Beachcomber, Driftwood, and Tidewater) faces Whale Park and the ocean. Outdoor seating is available in front of and on the east side of the Lower Building.

Here’s an overview of how our guest rooms are furnished:

Alsea, Perpetua, Shell, and Sunset — Queen bed, loveseat, rocking chair, dresser, and desk or small table.

Agate — Queen bed, club chair, eating area, and kitchenette with dishes, cookware, and a stovetop.

Beachcomber — King bed, club chair, love seat, and dresser.

Driftwood — King bed, rocking chair, love seat, dresser, and small table.

Tidewater — Two queen beds, Queen Anne-style recliner, rocking chair, dresser, and small table.

Each guest room includes a full bath, hair dryer, flat-screen television, microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot, wine glasses and corkscrew. Click here to see our rooms and rates.

The Ocean Cove Inn’s location is excellent for exploring Yachats on foot. When you stay with us, you are within a five-minute walk of restaurants, coffee shops, wine bars, stores, post office, picnic areas … and, of course, the magnificent Yachats Bay beach. Other activities such as golfing, hiking, horseback riding, dune buggy riding, fishing, and whale watching are available within easy driving distance. Click here for links to local activities.

The Ocean Cove Inn attracts a wonderful variety of guests—from couples looking for a romantic getaway to tourists who come here to enjoy our many local arts and cultural events such as our Fourth of July fireworks spectacular, the Kite Festival in September and the Mushroom Fest in October. During the winter season, you can watch Yachats’ spectacular storms—complete with wind-whipped waves as high as 46 feet—from the cozy comfort of your room. In addition, winter is the prime time for whale watching, either from the inn’s deck, the beach, or a whale-watching charter boat. Whatever your reason for visiting Yachats, we welcome you to our beautiful village!
