The house was cute and lots of kitchen and dining space. The outdoor space, deck, and seating areas were a good aspect.

Great to hear The Cottage by the Sea offered the space to cook, gather, and unwind. The deck and seating areas are meant for lingering over coffee or catching the sunset, so it's wonderful those parts added to your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope the cottage will be your choice the next time you want a relaxed coastal getaway.

Extremely cute cottage. A piece of Oregon history! Decorated with old family photos & antique quilts, this is a unique old family beach house. We loved the maximalist decor & knickknacks. Kitchen & bath remodeled to 21st century standards, Well equipped kitchen for cooking up delicious local seafood. Super close to the beach!

We’re so glad The Cottage by the Sea resonated with you. Knowing the antiques, family photos and quilts helped create a genuine family-seaside feeling means a lot to our team. It’s wonderful the updated kitchen and bath let you relax and cook local seafood, and that the beach was so easy to reach. That blend of history and comfort is exactly what we hope guests experience — we’d love to host you again.

Great spot and location, responsive team for property management in the area it seems like. They were helpful with some questions we had. My only room for improvement is that the house was a bit older so there was a couple cleanliness things that I felt could’ve been improved. Would stay again

Nice and cozy, pet-friendly. There were some issues with cleanliness - dirt, hair, and stained sheets on one of the beds. Also, there was no grill which was disappointing as it said there was a grill in the amenities. The cottage was adorable and comfortable and the location can’t be beat. The kitchen was well stocked but almost too cluttered and full of too many disorganized tools and utensils. Lots of expired spices in the cabinet too. I’d stay here again but hopefully with better cleaning in the future.

Thank you for staying at The Cottage by the Sea and for sharing your observations. We’re glad the cottage felt cozy and that the location and pet-friendly setup worked well for your visit. We regret the cleaning and linen standards did not meet expectations; we are addressing this with our housekeeping team, replacing stained sheets, and doing a deeper clean. We will also audit the kitchen, remove expired spices, streamline and organize utensils, and correct the grill listing. We’d welcome the chance to host you again and provide a spotless stay.

Great Little Place

The rooms were small but so much charm. If you don't hear the ocean, you hear the frogs in the pond. The access to the beach was a blessing. Great value in this place.

July stay

The house was clean and well kept. It is a short walk from the house to the beach and a nice walk into town. The neighborhood is quiet. Just what two moms wanting a weekend away needed.

Welcome to Rockaway

This was the perfect little cottage for catching up and hanging out with family. Close enough to hear the ocean and a short walk to the beach and Twin Rocks literally greets you - what a beautiful sunset! I could imagine staying at Cottage by the Sea for weeks and being perfectly content.

Quaint, homey, very comfortable, quiet and close to the beach

Lots of family history in this little bungalow. I could not get enough of the landscaping: huge hydrangea, honeysuckle, and more. The bath and kitchen have been updated and there are plenty of utensils and cookware, all of which is great shape which is not always the case at some rentals. Mattresses were very comfy. Thank you—I wish I was there today

I enjoyed my stay. The house is very comfortable. Well set up and nicely furnished. The kitchen and fireplace are great. The location is great with easy access to the beach with Twin Rocks right there in front of you. Beautiful. I would recomend this to anyone wanting a beach vacation. I love Rockaway and this is a perfect house to enjoy the best of the beach. I recommend this house. We will be back.
