Overall this place was great! Beach access, amazing views from the hot tub, and all very clean. The pictures are accurate, there is a new dining table that seats 6.
We would book it again!

Great little old school beach house with a spectacular view. Cozy and clean, but kitchen could use some more food prep and serving dishes. The hot tub on the deck was the best idea ever. There is beach access but only if you're comfortable climbing up and down some steep hillside. Luckily there are a few lovely parks and beach access points within minutes of the house. Would definitely book again!

The view at this house is stunning! The hot tub was wonderful and the beach access was a plus, although a little difficult if you have someone in your group that is physically limited as some steps are quite steep. We can’t speak to the guest house section as we didn’t use it, but the main house was clean and cozy. The house is located right off 101 but it’s tucked back enough so it doesn’t feel right on the highway. The only downfall for us was that there wasn’t much in the kitchen. I would suggest to anyone who wants to cook their food to bring your own pan and utensils. The only items they have available are Teflon pans and plastic cooking utensils. There are no ziploc bags or foil or even spices, so be sure to bring all that if you need. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to others.

This is a decent house with incredible views of one of the most scenic areas on the coast.
However, there are a number of issues that need to be addressed, for the safety of your guests as well as your civil liability. These have been reported in prior reviews and have not been fixed.
The property is not safe for children, seniors, the disabled or anyone who is not paying attention. There are no grab bars nor non-skid surface in the main bathroom nor are there handrails down the stairs into the living room nor from the back door to the deck, which is extremely slippery when wet.
Worse, the “fence” at the foot of the yard, the warning sign partially hidden by grass, and the stairs that descend to the beach are extremely hazardous. The fence consists of a few boards, one of which is partially fallen down, that stands at the edge of the rapidly eroding bluff. I can easily imagine an excited child climbing the fence to get a better look, and taking a dangerous tumble straight down to the beach 50 - 60 feet below. Ditto the stairs. It is definitely *not* an easy walk to the beach as your description suggests.
There are a number of other problems that I reported to Vacasa on 10/21/23 but have had no response. This house could be exceptional with some work. Why not invest some money into it now, before someone is seriously injured and you’re forced by the courts to pay?
Yes, I would stay here again for the view and because I love Seal Rock, but it won’t be my first choice.

Spectacular view from the home as well as from the Hot Tub. During our stay it was very secluded and quiet. Newport is a 10 minute drive away for groceries and shopping. The beach access is quite precarious. The home is dog friendly, however the property does not have a fenced area. The interior of the home was clean and accommodating.

Cute house with stairs to the beach. At low tide it was fun to walk out to the rocks and look at the tide pools.

We loved the house and property but the beach access was treacherous - not for the faint of heart - steps about 2/3 down, then a rope and rocks! Only the dog has an easy time with it and our seniors didn’t even try!

Some some issues with the place the fan in bathroom didn’t work the fire pit outside didn’t look safe so we didn’t use it the access to the beach was about 40 steep steps with no rail there needs to be a small rail to get in to the living room as well as a rail in the bathroom to get into the slippery shower there was pack of dust on the wooden beam in the living room that’s been there for awhile as well as no fireplace working should be mentioned in the add assumed we could use it but couldn’t
Other than those few things it was clean and enjoyable the view was worth the price!

The main house was as we expected, didn't use the 'cottage'. Access to the beach as we expected - adequate, but a bit hazardous when wet (but far better than no access). Finding the driveway entrance off the main highway (87) is tricky in fog or in the dark. The beach, once reached, was great. Kitchen, bedding, towels were fine. We were surprised at the lack of some amenities we've come to expect at vacation rentals - books (coffee table stuff, fun reading, maps, travel, or anything), notes about local restaurants/activities, library of DVDs (or a means of showing them), receiver/amp/speakers for having music in the house, working hot tub (it did not work), working indoor lights (some didn't), extra light bulbs, operating wood stove (no wood). Broken down futon couch not a real problem, but the rear corner of the living room where the TV was situated made the futon couch the only place to sit. Having the 2nd bathroom (commode/sink) in the main house laundry room is a bit funky.
With so many choices on the coast, we wouldn't strongly recommend or won't return ourselves.
But, we're very appreciative of Vacasa response to inquiries, especially handling of a small, important item we left behind -- returned to us, Thank you. Wish the information provided about the hot tub had made it work.

The property was clean, updated and had specatular view of the ocean. The 'short walk to the sand' is a 100 ft drop on an old stair/ladder with warning sign 'unstable ground: use at own risk'
So if you want to run your dogs you have to drive somewhere else. Theirceasy access to the beach was one of the main reasons we booked there. The code entry is tricky, we left for an outing and locked the door, at least I heard it ingage. When we got back the door was ajar. Then there were the ants and animals getting in the garbage can over night leaving a pile of the previous renter's cracked crab and oyster shells mixed in with the rest of the garbage that we had to pick up because the note inside says garbage pu is Wednesday, there can be no separate garbage on the ground. So the cleaners do not take away the garbage and the cans they leave for it are not secured from critters. Oh and the TV is behind the couch :~/ Also be aware the 3 bathrooms are in separate buildings. There is a small, musty studio cottage that is part of the rental whether you use it or not. And last but perhaps most importantly the driveway is difficult to see until you're right on it. There is no identifying marker that could make it less dangerous.
We went with the flow and had a great time but I would not stay here again. Rated 'okay'

Located on gorgeous beach with wonderful views from inside and outside of property and direct access to beach. House small but very comfortable. Stairs to beach steep but doable for couple in 60's. Only suggestion for improvement would be better equipped kitchen.

Great location and fantastic views from the bluff! Beach access right from the house! Awesome beach and interesting tide pools when the tide was out. Two bedrooms in the house were large with comfortable king beds! We had a fantastic time and the only down side was the jacuzzi stopped working on the second evening there. When it was working, it was awesome! Will definately be going back to this house again!

Super private beach house with a great ocean view. Parts of house the house are older some more modern. House had everything that we needed. Separate studio had a bit of a musty smell but we didn’t need to use it so it wasn’t an issue for us. Private stairs to beach was nice, some great tide pools right below, however the stairs would be difficult for some. Would definitely go back.

The house was so much better than expected. The hot tub looks out over the ocean and at sunset it’s unreal. Lots of bedding available, kitchen has most of what you need but pretty minimal. The included extra studio is nice if you have multiple families/couples. It’s small but is good for two. The foot of the studio bed stares at the ocean. I was told the pull out couch was very comfortable. It’s one of the only houses near that has its own private stairs to the beach below. The beach was usually sparse and at low tide you can go see tide pools. We will be back! The only suggestion I’d provide for the owners is to put in more hooks as there is no where to dry your swimsuits or towels from the beach/hot tub!

It was clean and cozy. The late arrival and early check out are a bummer though. But, other than that. Beautiful.

The house is well-situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The steps down to the beach, while steep, are useful. The hot tub worked perfectly. It was nice to sit in it while it was sprinkling. It was also relaxing to sit by the fire pit (wood is on the side of the second house). The houses were clean. Every room has it's own heater. It was a restful stay with three adults, two kids, and a small dog. Thank you!
