Luxury, elegance, comfort and romance have a new address on
the Oregon coast-and its name is Whale Crossing! This "Absolute Oceanfront"
condo offering by Skyshine LLC is what vacationing on the
central Oregon coast is all about. It's a whopping 1800 square feet of
elegant furnishings, scintillating fabrics, and evocative colors, blended by
Brent Stephenson, Senior Designer at Wildflower Design Interiors, one of the
Pacific coast's finest interior designers, to completely captivate and charm
while showcasing, in panoramic style, the stunning vistas of the rugged Depoe
Bay area central Oregon coast. |
|
|
Just imagine, from anywhere in the family-sized
living, kitchen and dining areas, or from the warm and romantic
master bedroom suite, you can watch waves, whales, seals, and all
that the Pacific oceanfront offers. The spacious ocean-side deck
is the perfect place to sit and visit, to whale watch, or just
stare in awe at some of the most wondrous sunsets mankind has
ever seen. With a five-person hot tub on your private deck you
can do it all in the soothing, rejuvenating waters of your Marquis
Mirage spa. |
|
|
Even the superb pictures above cannot fully capture
the comfort, romance-and the pure sweet fun-of this very special
vacation rental. But take the tour anyway, you'll get the idea! |

Living Area |
|
|
The living area of your
oceanfront rental has room to spare, and comfort and elegance to
match. From the minute you walk in the front door, you'll feel the
magic, a whole new level of vacation rental excellence. We urge
you to take your shoes off and really relax (and enjoy the
under-the-floor hot water heating when it's cool outside).
Whale Crossing is tasteful and elegant, in a tone-on-tone décor,
but it won't put you to sleep! From the zebra rug on the living
room floor to the
42-inch plasma TV mounted on the bright red
wall-that's right, a red wall!-you'll be re-energized by the
comfort and beauty of the furnishings. Pampering amenities such
as the chaise lounge in the sectional, the beautiful river rock
gas fireplace, the DVD/VCR, wet bar, and carefully selected,
beautiful artworks, will have you feeling like a movie star of a
more elegant age. |
|
|
Of course, no expense has been spared
to provide all the modern amenities that today's living demands: plug-ins
for your computer games, high-speed broadband internet access, digital
cable offerings that include "The Starz" movie package and nearly
40 music channels, a CD player, and more. Bring or rent your own DVDs/videos,
or watch some from our house collection. No other vacation rental
on the Oregon coast caters so completely to your entertainment and
total enjoyment.. |

|
Kitchen and Dining |
|
|
The kitchen and dining areas of
Whale Crossing raise the bar for all other luxury vacation rentals.
This luxury condo is so well furnished you need bring only your
own food and drink. The kitchen is large, and fun to cook in,
with
granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A
full complement of cooking utensils, pots and pans, countertop
appliances will bring out the master chef in you, and beautiful
tableware will enhance all your mealtime experiences. |
|
|
Whether for a cozy getaway for
two, or a big get-together for eight, Whale Crossing's dining area
will make every mealtime special. This is the place for long
leisurely mealtimes with family and friends, as you relax and
grow closer, away from the hurry-up, fast food world back home.
Whale Crossing's dining area will make this a pleasure, with the
sounds and sights of the ocean the perfect accompaniment for
every meal. |
|
|
Three Bedrooms |
|
|
Whale Crossing will accommodate
eight for restful seaside slumber. |
|
|
The sectional in the living
area hides a Queen-sized sofa sleeper, but it's so comfortable,
you'd never guess it contains a sofa sleeper. |
|
|
Our third bedroom is like a
quiet island paradise, and boasts a Queen bed and furnishings
chosen to be restful and enjoyable, including a ceiling fan.
It's the smallest of the three bedrooms, but beautifully decorated
for your comfort and enjoyment. |
|
|
The second bedroom offers a
supremely comfortable King bed, and a pass-through door to the
second (full) bathroom. The décor hearkens back to a more
leisurely time, in the manner of a French garden retreat. It's
bright and cheery with a bay window. |
|
|
You'll feel like royalty in the
expansive ocean-side master bedroom suite, with floor-to-ceiling,
wall-to-wall windows looking right out over the ocean. You can lie
in bed and watch the waves or the stars. From the spacious and
comfortable King bed, under the chandelier/ceiling fan, you can
watch the play of the early morning light across the ocean as the
sun rises, or, in the late evenings, bask in the most romantic of
Pacific sunsets. The sitting area in front of a granite-faced
fireplace makes a cozy getaway to read, or enjoy your morning
coffee. Winter nights with storms raging, waves crashing, and
the fire in the fireplace (so cozy)-or-summer nights with the warm
breezes wafting through, with the ceiling fan turning and the
susurrus of the summer waves breaking softly (and sometimes not so softly) outside your windows-How to choose? Oh well, come at both times! |
|
|
The master bath is spacious and
beautifully furnished, with a Jacuzzi tub for two, two sinks
(what a blessing!), and a shower. |
|
|
The walk-in closet is huge, and
will easily hold your traveling wardrobe. |
|
|
From the master bedroom suite,
you can step directly onto your spacious private oceanfront deck.
And about that deck.. |
|
|
The Deck |
|
|
The private, oceanfront deck at
Whale Crossing is huge, with a five-person
Marquis Mirage hot tub,
and still room for deck chairs galore. Because this single-level
condo is on the ground floor, the deck offers direct access to the
grounds of the Village at North Pointe. You can walk directly from
the deck to the ocean's edge in just a few steps. |
|
|
Guests at Whale Crossing find
themselves irresistibly drawn to the deck, and why not? As the
day begins, the soft light grows and the air feels, smells, and
tastes so good.
Sitting on the deck or in the hot tub you can
savor the early morning hours as never before. Breakfasts on
the deck are an unforgettable part of your visit to the Oregon
coast. |
|
|
As the sun moves west and the
day warms, the deck is the perfect place for long, lazy
conversations between lovers, families, and friends. And all the
while, the ocean continues to perform for your pleasure.
Just watching the play of the breaking waves is fascinating, but
the Pacific Ocean at Depoe Bay has much more to offer. Depoe Bay
is the home of a pod of grey whales, which are here 11 months of
the year; that's why Depoe Bay is called "The Whale Watching
Capital." So whale watching is a prime activity at Whale Crossing,
and whale sightings are often an everyday occurrence. We once saw
25 whales in one weekend. Because Whale Crossing is "Absolute
Oceanfront" (the ocean's edge is just a few feet from your deck),
you may have a closer view of the whales than the folks in the
whale watching charter boats! In the afternoons, on even the
coolest winter days, the sun often warms the deck enough to make
it a sunbathers haven. Take a book, a snack, and a beverage, and
watch the time fly away. |
|
|
But the best part of the day may
be the evenings. The sun starts its descent into the western
horizon, and paints the sky with colors no painter's palate could
match. It's a time of wonder and beauty, made even more special
by the waves crashing, the whales spouting, pelicans skimming the
waves in close-ordered formations, and other seabirds hurrying to
finish their daily activities. Open up the hot tub, and enjoy all
the evening spectacular as you experience the ultimate in relaxation
in the jets of soothing water. As the sky darkens, the stars come
out to play, presenting a night sky that is truly breathtaking.
It's no wonder that some of our guests never watch the TV. How
could any TV program hope to match this natural entertainment? |

Utilitarian Things |
|
|
Whale Crossing has a fully
furnished utility room with a large capacity washer and dryer,
iron and ironing board for any laundry needs you may have while
visiting. |
|
|
Activities |
|
|
Whale Crossing is conveniently located, just a
short walk from the quaint shops and great restaurants of Depoe Bay, and only
one mile from the sandy beach at Fogarty Creek State Park. A beautiful 15
minute drive will take you to the Factory Outlet mall and Chinook Winds Casino
in Lincoln City, or to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. |
|
|
The Village and Beach Club |
|
|
 |
|
As a guest at Whale Crossing you will
have access to the Beach Club , with its 20' X 40' indoor swimming pool,
an 8 person hot tub, exercise facility, pool table, darts, game tables,
and 19 seat surround-sound theater with real theater seats. There's also a kitchen so you can
prepare snacks. |
