There are many positives about this property. As you can see from the photos, the back of the home is right on the ocean, so the view is great and you have that constant ocean noise, and can enjoy it with the hot tub. However, even in late June, it was too cold to be on the deck, and unfortunately a mudslide had recently eliminated the direct walkway to the beach, which would have been nice. Also, the location really is perfect for seeing many of the Redwood groves nearby, which are spectacular. We found a couple of nice breweries in town. The nearby golf course was very nice and not busy. The kitchen is also well-equipped, and we cooked most of our meals in the home. It's a nice location if you're traveling down the coast - we were on our way from Cannon Beach to San Fran.
Although the property advertises that it fits 16 people, that would be very difficult to do so - maybe okay with small children who could easily sleep together on uncomfortable futons/sofabeds. We had 12, and even then we still didn't fit quite right, partly because there are only 4 bedrooms. In addition, we had great difficulty finding sheets and clean comforters/blankets for the futons (and ended up washing comforters before using them as they were not clean, and not using any sheets). In addition, we did not have enough towels for the 12 of us. When I contacted Vacasa, they were less than helpful.
Future renters should also be aware that the quality of the linens, and especially the pillows, is poor. In addition, no hair dryers were available in any of the bathrooms. At this price point, we would have expected more.
The home is also very noisy (e.g., if you are trying to sleep in the basement bedroom, you can hear much/most of the noise from the floor above.) In addition, the layout of the home does not accommodate a common area for a large family (we had to split off between the various rooms when spending time together).
Having said all that, we did enjoy our stay in Brookings. This home is for sale so may not be available for rent too much longer!
