Luxury, oceanfront beach home with private hot tub - dogs OK!

We rented this property for a 50th birthday party. The living room has incredible views of a wildlife refuge that is between the house and the beach. There was plenty of space for cooking in the kitchen and the open layout was great for socializing while preparing and eating meals, playing board games or just relaxing.<br />

The downstairs would be a great area to keep the kids out of the way but we had plenty of space for 10 adults upstairs, gathered around the 2 large kitchen tables.<br />

The walk down to the beach is a great way to stretch your legs. Bring tennis shoes, though, as the trail is a little steep for sandals or flip flops.

If you are flexible and don’t mind some things broken or not working, or not quite as advertised, then you can enjoy the great view, beach, towns, and plenty of space in the house. But if you’re a little more picky and want things to be right, as advertised, cozy and comfortable, you will be frustrated. Our group was split about 50/50. It wouldn’t take a lot of money or energy to significantly improve the guest experience in this house, and we sent a list to Vacasa.

Our family uses Vacation rental houses a lot! The house was very spacious and comfortable. Views from every room. Better than I’d expected. The natural surfaces on the stairs were “slick” but only because we are used to having a runner of carpet in stairs. The beds were very good as were the sheets. Each bathroom was fully stocked with towels and extra sets of towels. Each bathroom had extra rolls of TP. The kitchen was fully stocked and clearly labeled. The ice maker in the fridge had been disabled with an “ice flow” but there were a couple of ice trays and we bought a bag of ice in Neskowin. Large clean fridge PLUS a second in the laundry room! I was not able to figure out the AV system but I have had that issue at other rentals so we brought our laptop and plugged it in via an already existing cable (which we returned to its original position of course). The HOA rules seem pretty strict on water but our group has rentaled in the neighborhood for years and never had an issue with over-use fines. We are pretty water conscious people at home too. The pool table provided much entertainment but if you have your own Sticks you should bring them (and chalk) as the existing had no pads...but that became it’s own extreme challenge especially for the good players in the family. We enjoyed the walkable beach access. You do need a sturdy shoe for the trail when it’s damp—no clogs or flip flops. We had a great time just sitting in the main room with the windows cracked open to hear the waves crash; watch Bald Eagles snack on a seal carcas; see Harbor Seals bobbing around; I love sand or I’d say there was no need to go anywhere to have an A+ day. Thank you for sharing your home!

House size and view is nice.

This home was perfect for our family gathering of 10 adults. We loved the fact that all bedrooms had their own bathrooms. The layout which highlighted the ocean view was exceptional and easily accommodated everyone. The kitchen was well stocked and laid out well. Having bedroom on all three floors allowed peace and quiet for everyone. Heating is through the floors and fortunately we did not have to use this on our perfect 75 degree stay. The property manager was easily accessible and with one call she helped us with a brand new grill in which we used twice. The home is over 20 years old, but in my opinion is in great shape. I would give the condition of the home a 9.5. The trail down to the ocean takes about 5-10 minutes and has one 100 yard stretch that has a moderate grade. We were literally the only ones on the beach for our stay. The hot tub was great for viewing stars late at night. I would recommend this place and property manager without hesitation.
