OK with some reservations

Appropriately priced for size, condition/age of property.Steps into bedroom need a handrail or bright tape/paint to avoid stumbles, like we had.OK for two people but overall smallish.Quiet neighborhood.Can't recommend for seniors (70).

Small cottage about 10 minutes walk from Seal Rock. Large grassy yard for dog to run around in and porch for outdoor eating. Kitchen has no dishwasher but lots of cooking implements. The bedrooms have no place to hang up clothes. The large step down into the master bedroom needs to be re-engineered into two steps that meet code. The chairs for the kitchen dining table are extremely uncomfortable and need to be replaced with chairs that have some cushioning. Plenty of beach paraphernalia, including towels, chairs, toys, etc. There are lots of kids games, books, etc for hanging out in the house. Don’t go on July: it was foggy the entire time and blowing on the beach 10-20 mph continuously . Wait until AugSept. Had to wear multiple layers and jacket to enjoy walking on beaches.

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.

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!

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. :)

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.

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.

This property is in a great location. However it definitely needs some TLC and a little upgrading. New mattresses for sure but it will fit two couples OK and it is priced for the age.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Upon arrival we had to vacuum and clean surfaces because the house was not very clean.

Leading up to this trip the rental company was uncommunicative and did not charge my credit card for weeks causing worry that our reservation was in jeopardy. I tried calling and emailing multiple times and never got a real person on the phone to address this, just automated emails. They finally charged my card about a week before our stay despite reserving and attempting to pay nearly two months in advance. Upon arrival to the property, we had to vacuum and clean surfaces because they were dirty and dusty which was very disappointing since we came to relax, celebrate a birthday, and enjoy being with our 6 month old baby. This also put into question the cleanliness of the entire place such as linens and other areas. The place was dirty despite a hefty cleaning fee. The front bay windows have a nice view but it’s obstructed because two of the three windows have leaks between the double window panes and moisture and grime prevent you from seeing anything clearly.

Decent but could be better

Pros: Well stocked with kitchen essentials, plenty of warm blankets and nice towels, quiet neighborhood, big yard Cons: Garbage/Recycling bins were not marked, Dryer burns clothes, no dishwasher, stairs are dangerous for small children, Overall for the price it was ok, however we probably would not stay there again. The house is very very small, sleeps 6 but not comfortably. For a family of 6-with teenagers it was just too tight, especially on stormy days.

Cute Cozy Comfortable Coast House

The Heron Beach Cottage is a cute, cozy, comfortable place to stay near Seal Rock beach which is a fun beach for tide-pooling and bird-watching. The house was very clean and well-stocked. The only thing that was less than cozy was the lack of heat in the bathroom. We initially had problems communicating with the property manager, Ocean Odyssey Vacation Rentals, because they did not answer the phone number listed by VRBO or return messages left at that number or respond to messages left through the VRBO website. However, when we called VRBO, we were given another phone number for Ocean Odyssey and the contact we dealt with at that number was very friendly and helpful. Hopefully this difficulty was just a temporary one.
