Beautiful views from the large deck!!!
The house itself is a fun 50's or 60's style beach house with one bedroom, kitchen, dining room, laundry, bathroom, and living room on the main floor. The lower level includes a second sitting room and a bedroom with a really comfortable queen bed and bunkbeds. The kitchen was very functional with everything one would need for most kinds of cooking and probably more than is necessary. The countertop burners are situated looking out of the adorable breakfast nook with vintage Formica table, making the act of slaving over a stove pretty magical since the entire time cooking one can stare out at the ocean. The washer and dryer are nice to have when visiting the beach for more than a few days. The living room has very comfortable couches and a nice television, but we mostly turned our eyes out through the wall of windows to see the view.
Probably the most impressive part of this rental is the deck. It is a newer deck with new and solid framing and clean, new composite decking. We were here in July, so the house got just a little warm in the day, but it was easy to cool it off by opening windows to allow the ocean breeze through. From the deck, there is an amazing panoramic view of the Oceanside beach straight ahead, Netarts bay to the south, and Storm Rock slightly to the north--if standing at one edge of the deck one can even see Seal Rock and Finley Rock. We had one morning with a bit of rain, but the roof covers about a third of the deck, making it still enjoyable to sit out even with a little rain. The bonus with the rain is that the gutter system from the roof pours water down a little Rube Goldberg machine that spins wheels and directs the water through a series of traps.
We didn't hike down into town, but it is very doable if one doesn't mind the hill. Honestly, once we settled in, it was hard to want to do anything other than rest in one of the provided chairs on the deck and just look out at the ocean while sipping a coffee in the morning and a double hazy IPA in the afternoon.
For the more active, I saw a whole stack of body boards in the garage for guests to use to go surfing on the beach, and there was ample amounts of firewood for a beach fire (no need for wood in the house as the upstairs fireplace uses gas and the downstairs "fireplace" is electric).
The house was well cleaned when we arrived and there were ample bedding, towels, etc. The wifi was very stable and very fast. As an older house, there is a bit of thirty year old cigarette smell which is common in older homes. It didn't bother us and wasn't symptomatic of any problems with cleaning, but I know that some people are very sensitive to that smell, so I'm mentioning it.
It is an older place and it isn't fancy, but it is incredibly comfortable. It felt a little like staying at grandma's house, and I mean that in the best possible sense (if grandma had a house with an incredible ocean view).
We've already booked it again for an anniversary trip.
