Great quiet location for stargazing!

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 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!

Delightful and great value

Wonderful little home equipped with (almost) everything one might need and a great value. (I couldn't find an ironing board.)

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.

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

Family Get together

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. 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.

Adorable Cottage with All the Essentials!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our party of 3 had a fabulous time at this little cottage for our week-long stay in Seal Rock. The cottage is cozy and kitchen well-equipped for cooking at home. There was plenty of space for us - we didn't even use the upstairs area, which would be perfect for kids. But keep in mind, the stairs are quite steep, which you can sort of see in the pictures (so, the upstairs area may not be the best for older folks/those with limited mobility). For those with bad backs, the master bedroom mattress is quite soft, but my mom slept there just fine! Our dog also loved having a yard to play fetch. Perhaps the only downside worth mentioning is the roughly 10 minute walk to the beach. It's along a short stretch of highway, but there's not much of a shoulder, but that wasn't a huge problem. (Of course, you could always drive and park in the beach parking lot!) All in all, we loved our stay and may make it a tradition of coming back every summer!

Great place--challenging getting check-in details

First off, the property: it's a cute house with a fully stocked kitchen and a mammoth yard that was popular with Steller's jays and juvenile robins during the mornings. It gets very dark at night and you can see so many stars! There's a swing, four plastic Adirondack chairs, a nice deck, and a grill (which we didn't use but it looked gigantic under its cover). The street is very quiet, as is the whole neighborhood. There's beach access about 50 yards south on 101 (look for a path with stairs by the RV Cove sign on the west side of the road). The living room is small with no coffee table, but plenty of seating (I loved the window seat--so warm and cozy in the afternoon) and the tv (one of three in the house!) is quite large, at least by our standards. The DVD system baffled us, but maybe those with more experience with such things would have no trouble with it. The bed in the main bedroom (the only one we used) is a little soft but still functional. The bathroom is on the small side but, again, functional. The main bedroom has a screen in the window but the second bedroom on the main floor does not. (In general, most of the windows don't open and there's no screen door--a little annoying for a fresh air addict.) The twin beds are in a converted attic space--the room up there is large enough (though the ceilings slant), but the stairs to get there are very steep and also narrow. I banged my shin on the stairs, and my partner worried about smashing his head on the descent. If I had agile short children who regularly climbed trees and ladders, I wouldn't worry about them sleeping up there (though I bet it's hot in the height of summer), but I'd never opt to sleep there myself, nor would I put any clumsy or distracted children up there. It was challenging to get the key code or any sort of assurance that my second payment had been received by Ocean Odyssey. I emailed and called about half a dozen times before I finally connected to someone in the office there who, happily, had no trouble giving me the code and confirming payment. Admittedly, the voicemail wasn't working on my phone, but I had given my email address several times over. That bit of uncertainty was a little bit of pre-vacation stress I could have done without. But we're all stressed these days and, it all worked out in the end. Let me add one star to that "communication" item. The beach at Seal Beach was better than expected--look for pelicans on the rocks!

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.

For a family, it would be great but Seal Rock does not have many close amenities available other than access to the beach.

Heron Beach Hideway

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 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.

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.
