Common Questions about our Vacation Rentals

Your reservation/rental agreement is a binding legal document. Blue Pacific Vacation Rentals is also bound by state and local laws and our contracts with the property owners. As much as we might like to make exceptions to the rules, we cannot for these reasons. We ask and encourage all guests to please be sure to fully read and understand your rental agreement and our policies/expectations.

We ask that you remember that our vacation rental properties are private homes and condominiums, with many full time residents as neighbors. Please respect the ambience of your surroundings by not having loud noise and music, excessive running, etc. Quiet hours are from 10:00 PM until 8:00 AM. These hours are strictly enforced.

Blue Pacific has a strict no animal policy in ALL of our properties. Many of the complex have strict HOA set no animal policies our rentals must abide by. There are no animals allowed in the property or on the premises at any time. Animals in non-animal homes are strictly forbidden and guests will be asked to leave without refund and fees will apply.

Need a pet sitter?

You can find "local pet-sitters" on Rover.com in the local Oregon Coast area with almost many sitters to choose from: CLICK HERE

Need animal boarding information?

We have strict maximum occupancy limits in all of our properties in effect 24 hours a day. Any children over 24 months at the time of the stay do count towards occupancy, regardless of where they will sleep in the home. (See Maximum Occupancy.)

We are glad to meet new guests through these sites, however we want to ensure for their future stays, our guests receive the best rates and reservation experience. 

The services fees alone through these sites will on average cost you an additional 11-14% more on your reservation with no difference to the property you're booking!

A representative will review the reservation and contact you to address any scheduling issues, prior to confirming the reservation. In certain seasons, dead nights will not be accommodated (i.e., peak and holiday seasons).

Saturday arrivals or departures may be subject to scheduling approval/review in our Coast Properties (peak and off-peak season), and during the off-peak/ski Season in Sunriver. A representative will review the reservation and contact you to address any scheduling issues, prior to confirming the reservation. All reservations are pending and subject to review of our staff prior to finalizing.

We are happy to review requests received for a “same day arrival” when a reservation request is received. However, requests must be submitted during regular office hours. Check-in times may be adjusted to accommodate the same day request. An email notifying the guest of “Pending Approval” will automatically be issued, this is not a confirmation of the reservation. Reservation requests received outside office hours have not been charged at the time of booking and cannot be accommodated.

Our Sunriver kitchens are incredibly well equipped, but we do not monitor spices and oils in the homes as they vary. All houses have a basic spice set and then an area where guests leave spices and cooking basics to share with other guests, but we do not track those items. If you have specific spices or oils you need, we recommend bringing them with you or checking out the house and then shopping for them locally at one of the grocery stores in Sunriver.

Anywhere on Lincoln City’s seven miles of beach, from Road’s End to Cutler City. Floats are hidden above the high tide line and below the beach embankment, during daylight hours only and every day, rain or shine.

The general answer is: yes, you can swim in the Oregon coast's Pacific Ocean. However cold waters, rough conditions, sneaker waves, and rip currents are just part of the reasons we stress our guests be ever cautious. Even in the summer, the ocean rarely gets above 58 degrees. Please always be careful.

Our beautiful oceanfront condos at The Village at North Pointe in Depoe Bay give you a front row seat right from your condo! You can also visit the Whale Watch Center in Depoe Bay and reserve a whale-watching tour to get right up close: CLICK HERE

Roads End – Some of the best tidepools are near Roads End State Park, a corner of the coast that offers a gorgeous display of intertidal life. From the park, walk a quarter mile north along the beach. This area is mostly flat with stunning views of northern headlands—Cascade Head and The Thumb.

NW 15th Street – The most accessible tidepool location in Lincoln City is at the 15th Street beach access. These tidepools are located at the ocean edge, a straight shot from the beach access. There is ample street parking as well as a public parking lot nearby. Parking on the beach within a permitted area is allowed—just keep an eye on ocean conditions before driving down.

Forgarty Creek Beach - This state park is one oddball beach, especially on the northern cove end. Some bizarre caves and striking, ancient skeletons embedded in the rocks abound here. Some tide pools can be found at certain conditions.

Yes! Our homes offer SHARC passes which provide guests access to the Sunriver marina boat launch.
- Sunriver also offers rental options: CLICK HERE

All of our Sunriver properties offer bikes for guest use during the Spring, Summer, and Fall Seasons. The bikes are locked during the Winter due to liability issues and concern for the safety of our guests. The winters are unpredictable in Sunriver when we cannot foresee snow and guests cannot always see icy paths. (Of note, our seasonal bike availability mirrors the rental season at The Village for bike rentals, which are also not available in winter.)

There are no open flames, such as fireworks and fire pits, allowed within Sunriver.

The Sunriver Marina is very convenient for drop in float trips. The Sunriver Resort Boathouse rents inner tubes, canoes, kayaks, rafts and paddle boards onsite. Rentals include parking, life vests, and shuttle service. (A shuttle runs every 10-15 minutes.)
