Family stay

Easy beach and nature preserve access house was just what we needed plenty of space a back patio for bird watching and simple easy check in/out. We spent most of our time out of house but had a ton of movies available. Kitchen allowed us to make breakfasts really easily. Great stay.

Rockaway Beach

The house was great. The walk to the beach was short, and it was great having a crossing light on Hwy 101. The young girls enjoyed the beach. We were not there much. We were tourists going between Tillamook and Astoria. Met some nice locals who helped us determine what to see. Had an awesome time. Hated to leave the area. But hope to be back soon.

Insects, driveway ditch

Quiet neighborhood, good location. There were little ants, lots of spider webs, and a ditch at the end of the driveway that when we back out it hit the bottom of the front bumper really hard driving out. The beds are awful and noisy with bad bedding.

Wonderful stay for Rockaway Beach

We stayed here over the July 4th holiday, and loved the location and property. This is further south than the rest of the town, so if you want to walk to shops, it's a longer hike, but still doable. There's plenty to do and see in the area, and the beach is so close and beautiful. The house was comfortable for the four of us, and we're excited to return someday soon!

Great beach get away

This cottage is just a couple of blocks from the beach. Not crowded, not much else to do. This was great for taking the kids for a beach weekend and collecting all the shells they could carry.

I would like to own the house

I really liked staying at the property. It was easy to get to only two blocks off of the main highway. The house was laid out nicely there was plenty of room and we had everything that we needed and it even had a 65 inch TV I was impressed. I have been to Rockaway Beach before and stayed at other places and the location of this house was perfect for me to go to all my favorite places. I would love to stay at this place again.

Quiet area!

We all enjoyed the house rental! We would like to see that a new mattress be replaced in the master bedroom. Also, having Wi-Fi for the teenagers & young adults would make life smoother...! (Wi-Fi is their lifeline to connections with friends even on vacay)!

Perfect vacation

Rockaway Beach is a gem along the Oregon Coast. Friendly people, not a lot of people. Great food. House was neat and clean. Check out instructions not really clear but we did our best. Definitely a top candidate for a return visit. Thank you.

Fair Price for the great location and nothing fancy house

We were happy with the cleanliness of this little house. It was the accommodation we needed to enjoy the coast affordably. Nothing fancy but there were loads of movies. We spent most of the time walking the beach and the nature boardwalk. Unfortunately the house is struggling with ants—I only saw a few while we were there but they got into our clothing bags in the bedroom and we brought some home.

Rockaway Beach

Comfortable and clean, however we have been charged $150.00 cleaning fee but we were instructed, ‘for the safety of the cleaning staff’ to strip the beds and wash and dry the bedding (including the blankets) before departure and to run any dishes through the dishwasher. I am pretty sure $150.00 would cover the cost of the cleaning staff to complete this task.

Checked out early

I booked a quick get away for my 2 teens and myself for spring break. We booked for 2 nights, arrived after dark Monday night to a very hot musty smelling house, and feeling like I stepped into the 60's as far as the furniture. I turned off the heat and opened all windows for circulation. I was hoping with the alleged short walk to the beach to head out quickly while boys were sleeping. It's 2 blocks to main intersection then 2 blocks over. Arrived back at house, turn on lights and notice ants. Not only were they trailing up the wall to the window in the family room, they were on the bedside table in master and a few had hopped onto the bed, and also in the other bedroom. Between the ants and no functioning microwave, (I got away from home to rest and not cook) we left a day early. Now, I'm attempting to get partially reimbursed for the night we did not stay, VRBO is telling me the host told VRBO their cleaning lady gave me ant traps and spray. I don't think any more words are needed to summarize the hassle booking with this host has caused me. Our quick 2 night get away ended after one night and back to Portland it was. I have occasional ants in my own property, weather dependent and extra rain pushed them in.. but in my sheets? That's how bad they were. We would not recommend staying in this dated musty not the cleanest property

Garbage needed emptied.Toliet wouldn't flush very well, and broken towel rack, besides funky shower to get water. They need some decent furniture, bed springs on the twin poke through.Front room recliner chair is a joke,and couch has a broken back. Upgrading needing. Extra fees charged are ridiculous.

Great location for our purpose

Stayed 3 nights. Needed a central location for hiking south and north. Near the main "strip" (my daughter and I walked to it one evening) and beach. Beautiful beach. The house was comfortable. It's a beach house so make sure you come well stocked. There was very little in the fridge in terms of staples as well as dry goods. We have stayed at many VRBOs and this was the most limited. As well as bathroom staples. It was just a minor thing but note that.Unfortunately, it was not the cleanest VRBO on arrival (and we stay at a lot). There was hair in the tub and it just didn't seem like a cleaning crew came through. We are very low maintenance so it was no big deal. Overall, I would recommend the property
