Ocean Front Hot Tub, South Beach, Newport, Dog Friendly!

Come one, come all! Trade in your clown shoes for flip flops at this fabulous 3-story central Oregon coast vacation home! The Dancing Seal is a multi-level home with amazing unobstructed ocean views from the third floor "Dancing Seal Lounge". After a full day of fun enjoying the pure magic of the Oregon coast, the third floor lounge is the perfect spot to unwind and watch the ever changing Pacific Ocean. With a living room with flat screen TV on each floor, and 5 bedrooms, this home is a perfect place to bring the entire family or a group of friends looking to escape to the beach and spend time together.

Feel the enchantment as you enter on the ground floor where you will find a bedroom, living area and bathroom, along with a wet bar, perfect for setting up your favorite drinks on the way out to the oceanfront hot tub. On the second floor, you will be drawn to the ocean views and the large deck where you can watch for whales and perhaps catch some seals dancing in the waves! The well appointed kitchen, dining space with a decorative gas fireplace, and large living room, will be the gathering places while the cooks are in the kitchen. There are three bedrooms on this level, one king ensuite, plus a king and a queen bedroom that share a bath in the hallway. Come to the big top, the third floor, where you will be able to enjoy the Dancing Seal Lounge, a mixologist's delight with a bar and pub tables, expansive ocean views and another living room. The primary bedroom is the ring master's spectacular finish, with ocean views all the way to Yaquina Head Lighthouse, a cozy window seat cantilevered out over the ocean, a gas fireplace for romantic ambiance and a large ensuite bath with a soaking tub and a tiled walk in shower with double shower heads.

Fun for all ages, this is a home where you'll enjoy good times together! Dancing Seal is close to lighthouses, both Yaquina Head nearby and Heceta Head to the south of Yachats, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, shopping in Nye Beach, the historic Newport bayfront, galleries, restaurants and many other beautiful scenic areas along our central coast. The private beach access is a seasonal access for guests. The stairs tend to wash away during the winter months so are not available for use. Beach access stairs unavailable as of 11/07/2024 for the season. Just south of the house is Ona Beach and is a great place to explore!

Amazing Home!

We love this place. It is the second time staying here and we will be back. It is perfect for a couple sets of grandparents and our son. Everyone has something to do and it is an easy walk to the beach. Our only negative was the Arcade was not in the house this time around but still advertised on the website. That was something our son remembered and was looking forward to but overall this house gets a 5+ every time!

Well maintained. We were an extended family group of 10. The house was more than ample and everyone had a good time. Kitchen was well equipped, but a few more basics like oil and spices would have been nice.

Response of staff

Our multi-generational family thoroughly enjoyed staying at Dancing Seal. It was especially great to be able to bring our dogs. The staff quickly came to the rescue when we needed glass beads for the shuffle board so we could resume our competition. We will be back!!

Perfect for our family

Everyone loved the Dancing Seal. The home, as well as, the view were beautiful. The home has everything a person would need. Our 18-month-old found the stairs; so, that kept us a little busy. If we stay again, we would bring a baby fence. People need to be careful going down the steps to the beach. One of the family members slipped off the bottom step. We enjoyed Brian Park which was only about 1 mile South. The home is close to Newport and to Nye Beach which the family enjoyed.

Perfect house for a group of 10 creative friends over a rainy weekend!

Plenty of room for 10 adults to gather together comfortably and engage in a range of activities from cooking elaborate, multi-course gourmet meals, decorating Ukrainian Easter eggs, enjoying an adult Easter egg hunt to a mindfulness/ meditation session overlooking the ocean, and a table read of a play complete with props! The third floor cocktail lounge, with spectacular views, provided the ideal space to enjoy creative libations and tasty hors d’oeuvres at the end of each day. We found a large, 8-foot folding table in the garage, placed it on the third floor and set up a crafting area where people could spend time working on their Ukrainian eggs throughout our 4-day stay. The kitchen was better stocked than most vacation rental homes including: An electric hand-mixer, large stock pot for making soups, knife block with knives, many Pyrex baking dishes, serving bowls and platters. If you are a serious cook, definitely bring your own knives and special equipment. The bar has a variety of glasses for wine, beer, etc. but if you are particular about your stemware, and/or serving some special drinks, bring your own. Also, bring ice. The bar is truly a bar including a glass mat, wells for fruit slices, etc. There’s even a cocktail recipe book. We brought our own puzzle that we set up on the living room table, however, there was a good collection of puzzles, and games (including Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit) in the downstairs game area. Though we didn’t use them, there is a ping pong table, air hockey table, and foosball table in the garage. We didn’t use those because it was too cold and not a nicely finished space to hang out in. Unfortunately, three of the drawers in the kitchen were broken and there was a roof leak in the living room. We reported this to management and it all should be repaired. Brianna, the property manager is very friendly. Overall, we had a fantastic time even though it was cold and rainy, and we spent 3 of our 4 days indoors. A great vacation rental house.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

-The property has a beautiful view, but it is very close to 101 (within 6 car lengths). Three of bedrooms are on front side and our kids unable to open windows due to noise from road. I'd be very nervous having kids so close to this highway with 55 mph speed limit and an essentially blind curve.-As a company, they misrepresented the property (no grill or furniture on deck as in photos). Their response: "furnishings can change anytime too much weather for grill on deck". The grill also ran out of propane with minimal use on a holiday Their response: "We provide a starter amount of propane...customer may need to supplement." When called on these basic issues, they come pack with some technicality. They were snippy, unapologetic and unhelpful. Spend your money elsewhere. Spent a lot of our vacation dealing with disappointment.

Great on the beach home

The home was lovely, and right on the ocean shoreline. Beds were supper comfy, but the stairs were a challenge to navigate. We are in our 70's and had we realized that to access the homes main rooms and master suite it would take all of these stairs, we would have booked elsewhere. If you are young and strong and like a great view of crashing waves and far off whales and fishing boats, this is the home for your vacation.

Family Beachfront Weekend

The Dancing Seal was the perfect location for our family group including great grandparents, toddlers, and dogs! We loved being beach front and the access ramp worked perfectly. If you have mobility concerns or safety with little ones, know that there are a lot of stairs in the house. The kitchen was well stocked and everything worked great! We will definitely book this home again!

Our beach house experiene,

We expected the house was a gorgeous place with its 2 floors of large windows facing the ocean, spectacular third floor bar and primary suite and fully equipped. That’s why it was so disappointing that we found the house was in shabby condition. Apart from the living room sofa being tattered and sagging, and the furniture looking as if it were from a bargain basement store, (especially the 2nd floor bedroom metal cabinet-like furniture) there were some safety concerns. In the kitchen, there was a drawer without hinges which fell when opened. The dishwasher was so old that the bottoms on the utensil holder bins were broken, the silverware fell to the bottom, and the door hinges weren’t working causing it to suddenly fall down, unexpectedly. In order to clean the dishes, we had to run the dishwasher twice. Although the third floor was spacious, with a bar and breathtaking views, the mattress in the primary suite was in such poor condition - it was so concave in the center - that it was impossible for one of our family to sleep on it. The video game setups weren’t working. Several techies in our group were unable to connect the games. And, the walkway to the beach, was overgrown and needs maintenance. In summary, a house in a beautiful setting but not worth the money.

This is a very lovely place with a lot of space. Our family enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and ready for us on time. For future guests - Don't expect any spices or cooking staples in the home. There was only salt and vegetable oil. Make sure you take what you may need. Don't expect internet unless they get their problem fixed. I don't say this to complain; just want people to know. I would stay here again.

Incredible views and great beach access

The home was very clean upon arrival. Great layout with bedrooms and bathrooms on all three floors. Our family was able to spread out and get some 'quiet time' and have some great time together in the kitchen and living room to cook and enjoy time together. The kitchen and bar are very well stocked - plenty of glassware, dinnerware, flatware, utensils, bakeware and pans. The hot tub, with spa towels, was an added bonus. The view from all three floors is amazing and access to the beach was very easy right from the property (no one in our group had mobility issues). This property is right off Hwy 101 and the traffic noise was a bit noticeable during the early morning hours. A white noise machine to cover up this noise while sleeping would be helpful. All in all, this is a great property and we would definitely stay there again.
