Inside the oyster

House is very well equipped. Toys for the beach were available for our grandson. Even though this is a dog friendly rental, there was no animal sign. Large yard. The BBQ was an added plus. The bedrooms were at opposite ends of the house, which seemed more private. We were a short walk to the beach. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A bit off the beaten track which enhanced the quiet location. For a family, it would be great but Seal Rock does not have many close amenities available other than access to the beach.

Hazardous entry to N bedroom

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Front stairs are concrete, uneven and tilted, entry to bedroom by bathroom is NOT LABELLED as hazardous and should be. Repeated entry down to that room continues to offer unsteadiness. A lawsuit is in the future, and probably really injuring some klutz like me! PLEASE go look at the situation before someone gets really hurt.Photos of the entry to bedroom by bathroom are available, not sure I sent to you today? This is a serious risk there, that you cannot see coming, and also the from stairs. Someone is going to be hurt more than I already was. Kathryn

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage suited our needs very well! It was well supplied with everything we needed. The laundry machines were especially helpful. The only problem we had was with the lockbox. It was difficult to open initially and we couldn't make it work at all on departure. We left the key inside the house and texted the management about the problem. Overall, the cottage was a pleasure; so much more so than a motel or hotel would have been.

Cozy Life

Just the right size for us and dog. Great yard, 5 minute drive to several beaches, covered porch so we could sit outside in the rain, close to everything going on in several towns up the coast. Property manager answered right away when I had a question, just all around cozy cottage. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful little two bedroom house with a nice Hollowell family connection. Short walk to Seal Rock beach and local shops cafes. Especially nice is Karl's wood bear carvings. Could use a picnic table in the yard but otherwise perfect!

Cozy Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a small cabin that was fine for just two of us but I would hesitate to book it for a larger group. The single bathroom is super small and would benefit from an exhausting fan. We kept the window open to reduce the mugginess of the home. The beds were just ok, we didn't get a great nights sleep, but it was fine. It's a cute place but in need of a remodel/refresh/update and better ventilation. There was not easy access to the beach from the home but the very large yard was a nice amenity.

Quaint Cozy Cottage Near the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Heron Beach Cottage was just right for the two of us. We chose to use only one of the two bedrooms. Comfortable bed. Small and clean bathroom with plenty of towels. Kitchen was well stocked, including a good variety of utensils, pots and pans, and tableware. Stable wi-fi. The beach was within walking distance, even for us seniors, though the weather this time was quite unpredictable and dramatic - from sun to rain to hail and back to sun! We loved it! The staff at Ocean Odyssey Vacation Rentals provided all the necessary details as needed. We would stay here the next time we visit the Oregon coast.

recommendations

Loved it. Dirt road, no neighbors no traffic. No directions that the neighbor would be taking out the trash, until she walked up while I was on the porch and met her. Trash can under the kitchen sink needs to be larger. No extra garbage bags (we left a new box). Garbage under the sink was left with garbage from the last tenant. (obviously an oversight but it was gross). You need reflective tape going into the back bedroom. Two steps down from the hallway is the bedroom. Room was dark I didn't realize I had to take two steps down. I almost fell. Maybe a night light near the doorway or something reflective of the drop off. Lovely place. Very cozy. Not comfortable with more than 2 ppl.personally speaking. The outdoor patio chairs were already locked up-weather was beautiful! We could have used them. Thanks for a relaxing 4 days. :)

I'd buy this house if I could.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We use to live in Newport so old, small cottages are something we appreciate. The cottage had everything we needed and it was in a beautiful location. Thankfully we reserved this location before the upstairs was prohibited and my girls absolutely loved it. If fact they loved it so much that they moved into one room once we got home. Internet was tricky but my son is a tech wiz so he reset it and it worked fine after that. This vacation definitely rekindled our love for this place and the tight living space reminded us how much space we could live without. Thanks for a memorable and AFFORDABLE experience. We'd definitely rent this house again.

Home away from home!

This home was fantastic! If you are looking for a family home to stay in, look no further. It’s homey and family oriented. It would be an amazing home to bring kids with as the upstairs is an amazing playroom and bedroom. The yard is also incredible and large! A very short drive to seal rock state park with has AMAZING tide pools. Would definitely recommend this home.

Heron House

Great! Great location, short walk to beach. Not too close to the hustle of town (Newport). If you want luxury, and push-button automaticity, maybe this isn’t for you. If you want reality, originality, and quiet, this is it….it was perfect for us. Loved the porch area with gas grill, and it’s a dog-friendly house. I hope the owners never sell it. I would rent again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall this was a great rental. It was clean and comfortable and in a good location. The kitchen was very well stocked. Our only complaint was the very steep narrow stairs up to the room that had the twin beds. Some of the older folks in our party decided against staying in that room once we saw how odd the stairs were.

We’d come back!

We loved staying at Seal Rock! The location was perfect for meandering down the coast to the dunes and up the coast to Newport and even Lincoln City. And the tide pools just across 101 were incredible during the minus tide while we were there! I was a little frustrated at the beginning of the booking process-the management company didn’t answer their phones. In the end everything worked fine from billing to check-in. Just be patient-We booked through VRBO, and paid a fee to VRBO and then the rest was billed through the management company closer to check-in. We received several emails with good instructions-it just took me a bit to catch on to their system. Now for the house itself…It worked for our family of 6, but the house is really better suited for 4 people in terms of table seating and living room seating. The owners generously give their guests access to camp and beach chairs along with sand toys and a few balls/frisbees. There was an ample supply of paper products, towels, and soaps as well as spices and oils in the kitchen. We appreciated the heads up about the dryer burning clothes and air dried our nicer things. We definitely had a few items in every load stained - some came out with treatment after we returned home. Based on finding one item stuck between the rotating drum and the side of the dryer, it seemed to us to be a mechanical issue rather than the dryer running too hot. The stairs were very steep and needed caution even for our active teens, however, it was well worth it for the extra beds! We loved our time here and appreciated the owners making their beach cottage available and budget friendly! We’d definitely come back!

Great place to stay on the coast!

This place was awesome! Our kids loved that they had there own place upstairs and the bedrooms were perfect for what we needed. This place is a stones throw away from some of the best tide pools on the Oregon coast. The house was clean and had all that we needed to enjoy our vacation.
