Thank you, Dawn! We're so happy to hear you loved the location and enjoyed the convenience of walking right out to the beach. We’d love to have you stay again anytime!
We loved the proximity to the beach. When a storm was coming in it was wonderful to sit in the warm dry house and look out at the sea.

Having three ocean facing balconies at three different levels was an extra treat! The townhouse was clean, well stocked, and felt like home. We enjoyed our stay!

We appreciate you detailing the review of your stay, Tamara! It is always a pleasure to hear that our guests had an amazing stay at one of our properties.
The place was exactly described in the website. Perfectly ocean front and rooms are clean and well maintained. The Rockaway town is not as touristy as Cannon Beach so we really enjoyed staying here for cozy and private feels. Thank you!

Thank you, Mitchell! We're so happy to hear that the property lived up to your expectations and that you enjoyed the oceanfront location. It’s great to know you appreciated the more relaxed, cozy vibe of Rockaway compared to the more touristy areas. We’re glad you had a private and peaceful stay, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! Thank you for choosing our place!
Great location, on the beach. There were 8 of us and the space allowed for us being together when we wanted and private without noise intrusion when we wanted. We all loved it.

The location was perfect and right on the beach. Several balconies to sit and watch the waves. Great location within town. My kids loved the train and the ice cream shops right nearby. There is also a central market across the street where you can get some groceries. We have 3 kids -7, 4, and under 1- and we had plenty of room and games to play. The location on the beach just can't be beat. It's also a good central location for nearby hikes and visit to the Tillamook creamery. House was clean and comfortable. Fireplace was very easy to use.

Thanks, Debra! It’s wonderful to hear that the location worked so well for your family and that everyone—from the little ones to the adults—had a great time. We're glad you enjoyed the beach access, nearby shops, and cozy touches, such as the fireplace. We’d love to welcome you all back anytime!
Great time here. Lived in Oregon for 17 years but never came to Rockaway Beach. Unit was clean and very well equipped to make our stay very enjoyable. Unit is right on the beach. Close to shops and ice cream !! The only downside is the 3 flights of stairs.

Hi, Robert! Thank you for taking the time to review. We're glad to hear you had a great time overall. Rest assured, we'll take all your comments into consideration and we'll do our best to provide even better service for the next time. We look forward to hosting you again.
My husband's parents, and our family (me, hubby, and our two year old) had an amazing time! The home is beach front and a great location. An easy walk to town for food and souvenirs. The beach access is an easy stroll from the downstairs bedroom. The home was packed with movies, games, music, and all the kitchen equipment youd ever need. Garage had tons of beach gear. Home had all the blankets and towels your family would ever need. We will stay again in this home next time we're in Rockaway. Highly recommend!

We take pride in ensuring our guests have everything they need for a memorable stay, from entertainment options to well-equipped kitchens and beach gear. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we can't wait to welcome you back on your next visit to Rockaway.
The property is ideally located, with great views and great access to the beach and to the little there is in Rock Beach. Also the property was spacious, clean and well equipped. I was disappointed though in how worn some things were though, especially the mattresses. Most were quite uncomfortable so it was difficult to get a good night's sleep. Anyway, it was an overall Ok experience but I definitely will not return to that property.
disappointed though

Had a great time but kitchen on the third floor made carrying groceries difficult!

Thanks for sharing your review with us and the other travelers, Geri!. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our property overall. We appreciate your feedback and will use your criticism to provide even better service.
Actually, truly sits beachside / beachfront, a few paces from the sand and a few more paces to waves. Newer construction, elegantly furnished, extremely clean, well equipped. Sleeps 7 comfortably on three queens and a daybed split between two separate bedrooms and a groundfloor dayroom area. Three and a half baths are highly convenient for larger families- Full bath on ground floor, 2 on second floor and a halfbath on the top floor living space with kitchen, dining and living room. Two gas fireplaces warm you at the flick of a switch. Tons of nice little touches like boardgames, firewood for beach events, CDs and a radio, beach toys, kites and such for kiddoes in the garage. (I left a couple more folding chairs from a local garage sale) I have never had a better communicating property manager than Donna (pronounced Don-ya). She was genuinely interested in my family's happiness and ease of stay. 24 hour minimart with grocery essentials across the street, plenty of quirky and cute shops nearby, as well as plenty of cafe options. The sound of the pounding surf is pervasive and delightful, as is the sweet/salty sea air. I guess the best testament I can give is that within hour of our arrival I was checking this place on Zillow to get an idea of potential sale price if I wanted to make an offer. Oh, and wife was very pleased with my lodging selection. Standing on one of the 5 balconies, watching the surf roll in, I got a Giant hug and a Thank you, Thank you! (After 25 years together a husband can use all of those he can get!) Only concern some might have- LOTS of stairs in this place. This is a 3.5 story, shotgun-style architecture, front to back, with great views of mountainside and surf, but you will be climbing up and down stairs a good bit in your visit. This is a great place to vacation!

Thank you for the thoughtful review, Colin! We strive to ensure our guests experience a luxurious stay, and we are happy to hear you all enjoyed it. Come back soon!
Beautiful unit with amazing view on the ocean! We had a great stay and would recommend it to anyone who does not have mobility issues as there are a lot of pretty steep stairs. Also the bedroom at the ground floor is right on the beach but does not offer much privacy since it's the only way to access the beach.

Hi, Sara! Thank you for the positive review - we would love to host you again!
I recommend this property for a great beach vacation. Easy to get to. Not too far from restaurants, stores. If I had two minor complaints, one would be the beds are so high that elderly people can't get up in them. We had to remove the box spring for my aunt. And the skylights, while beautiful really don't lend themselves to daytime movie/tv watching. There should be a TV in each room. The living room can't be darkened. Not too big of a deal as it was sunny and beautiful outside.
