Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We loved our stay at Briesta! The location is the best; quiet, amazing ocean views, north-facing sunshine and private and quiet.The kitchen while old is perfectly supplied with all the cooking items we needed including modern oven and cook top.Comfy beds and lots of blankets.My tip for the owners/managers would be to supply an outside umbrella for the deck (my guess is guests have damaged them in the past, but I’ll bring my own next time!).We hope Seal Rocks stays quiet forever and escape the developers gaze. Thank you for keeping the house quaint and original!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3110db79-d5bd-4464-bcd1-30e4bbc2547e-1755034085838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d7439fcc-adba-4f5b-8880-dd98d88b7f63-1755034084907.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Melissa C.
