Event Calendars and our Favorites Restaurants


One of the main reasons that we love Waldport is its central location. It takes less than 15 minutes to get to Yachats or Newport and is also relatively close to Depoe Bay, Florence and Lincoln City. Here's a map if you are not familiar with the area. So, why not stay at one of those locations? For us, we look forward to the days spent on the beach behind the home; playing in the sand with the kids, collecting seashells, comparing the contours of the dunes to weeks past and watching the waves roll in and out. This is where we believe Bella Vista and Waldport is head and shoulders above the others. Waldport is truly unique in that the residential housing development where Bella Vista is found lies right on a beautiful soft, sandy beach. In fact, the beach behind Bella Vista stretches for miles and miles and is not frequented by an overabundance of visitors. We are often told by guests how much they truly appreciate not only the luxurious interior of Bella Vista, but also the quiet and majestic beauty found as you step off the back deck and gaze at the Pacific Ocean and forested coastline. This is also the reason many of our guests quickly book their next visit after having experienced something so unique and enjoyable. And so, we believe Bella Vista offers the best of both worlds: Luxury and unparalled beach access plus proximity to some of the best sights the Oregon Coast has to offer.
