Escape from it all at this 1 acre beachfront getaway
Make this a vacation to remember and immerse yourself in this tranquil grotto by the sea. Enjoy the sweeping, tree-edged lawn with plenty of room to play and relax. Watch fish in the sparkling creek and deer in the mini forest. A large fire pit, picnic tables, hammock trees, and adjacent sand pile, complete with sand toys, await.
Your safety, comfort, and peace of mind during your stay are our top priority. We want you to relax and enjoy every moment. We take great care to ensure our home is clean and sanitized. Details are included at the end of the property description.*
The beach here is broad and delightfully uncrowded - perfect for beach combing, leisurely walks, wave watching, and sunset celebrations. The peaceful sound of the ocean is your constant companion at this cabin, just 250 paces from the sand. Wildlife lovers will enjoy the kaleidoscopic array of birds, and the chipmunks, squirrels, and other critters that share our little piece of paradise. Habitat is being restored and many native plants are being added to invite even more of our native wildlife. Stocked bird feeders bring the action close for your enjoyment even on drizzly days. We provide extra bird food for your stay. A warm fire is ready at the touch of a button with the propane fireplace installed spring of 2021.
Railway enthusiasts will delight as the vintage steam engine passes just behind the cabin on her regular rounds, transporting visitors back in time and to nearby beach towns, making for magical memories. (check schedule for dates). Fishing and crabbing, long walks on the beach ,gorgeous nearby hikes, and exploring the charming town of Rockaway are favorite things to do during your stay. Our "Welcome" book provides even more ideas for outings and activities, along with menus and info on the local shops, and descriptions of many native plants.
The cabin welcomes you with three uniquely decorated bedrooms, each with a comfortable queen-sized bed, providing sleeping for six. While there are three bedrooms, the house is cozy, compact, and ideally suited to up to four guests. A roomy balcony and deck will extend your outdoor relaxation space. The kitchen is well equipped with dishware, pots, pans, teas and coffee, spices etc.. Enjoy our gift of S'mores fixings to add to a magical evening. There is a well-stocked beach bag, roasting sticks, bocci ball, books, board games, movies, even a portable artists' studio and more to make this an unforgettable holiday.
The cabin is perched atop a slope with 24 steps to the lower grounds which we share with the matching house to the south.

Hosts made a warm and wonderful weekend with their little gem on the coast. Thanks so much for allowing us to experience this time and place. So many birds we added to our list and so many laughs spent together with good friends.
This is such a lovely and comfortable house. The walk to the beach is so pretty with the flowers and the trees. It is very private even though there are other houses close. The beds were super comfortable and everything was very clean. I contacted the owners about some questions and they were so responsive and kind. We really enjoyed our time at the beach and we were close to the different coast cities so getting around was super easy and convenient.
We loved the grounds and the location. The attention to cleanliness was very appreciated. Well stocked with basic kitchen and linens. Would certainly stay here again.
Unique, comfortable, accurately priced for the summer season. Three adult women were a perfect sized party. The property itself is truly special. We walked on an empty beach every morning and evening. The trail to the beach was easy enough and somewhat magical. I hope to return.
Our family had the best time! Location was great; quiet driveway but just close enough to Tillamook and downtown Rockaway in case we needed anything. Best part was the property and private trail to the beach. The house had everything we needed! We hope to stay here again in the future.
Lovely property with a short little walk over a sweet bridge, through a magical forest, past a great fire pit next to a picnic table, to the ocean in front of the iconic Twin Rocks. The home was extremely comfortable (the beds too!) My daughter, SIL, 8 year old grandson and I had a wonderful time making memories. The chipmunk was especially a hit with the grandson - as well as a deer that wandered onto the property.
Just an absolute gem of a location. Quiet, cozy home in a fantastic setting. The access to the grounds, firepit and beach make this an amazing draw.
The owners were great to work with. This is well worth it for anyone who is looking for a chill getaway at the coast.
The rental had everything we needed for a rainy beach visit in November. Great location and the condo was comfortable and the birds were very entertaining. Would recommend for all ages.
This impeccable little beach home feels like staying at a friends cabin. It is cozy, super clean, and charming. Great thought has been paid to every possible need of guests. The yard and b
My family and I came up to visit my sister who has moved to Rockaway. This was a perfect central location to be able to go and check out so many locations. The home was a quaint little cottage and worked out very well for our stay. And talk about an incredible location! Just moments to a fairly quiet beach. I'm missing Oregon already and would definitely stay here again.
This home had literally anything we needed aside from a washer and dryer. Not sure how I missed that but it was fine. The home was clean and well thought out. We loved the memories we created here for our sons 8th birthday. Thank you, we'll remember it forever.
A smaller house by the beach. We had a nice garden lot behind the house, the owners had lots of notes about local flora and fauna. An easy drive to Rockaway (3-5min). Owners were very responsive. Kitchen had the std things you’d need for basic meal prep.
We had a lovely weekend with our daughter and her family, including two small grandchildren. It was the perfect spot! The kids loved watching birds and finding slugs—they enjoyed the property almost as much as the beach (which was conveniently very close).
The adults enjoyed all that too, as well as a well-equipped vacation kitchen, comfortable beds, and a cozy living room to hang out in for games and reading…
Location was nice. Walk outdoors down the short path to the 7 mile uncrowded beach. Beds were little firm. They provided bird seed and had multiple varieties of birds and chipmunks out the back door. The house was large enough for our family of 4. Close to everything less than an hour drive to cannon beach and state parks. Creamery down the road. Bunnies at Cannon beach. Best tidepooling 3 minutes south of house below the railroad tracks. Sliding glass doors need work and screens on back door.
This was our 2nd visit. The property is lovely, beautifully landscaped and easy, quick access to the beautiful wide beach. The house was very clean and the kitchen was nicely stocked. Sounds from the highway died down at night leaving only ocean sounds. Loved the variety of birds and adorable chipmunks that visited. Owners are always responsive and helpful.
My friend and I had such a lovely stay at this warm, welcoming home! The house had everything we needed, and a few things we didn't realize we needed until we arrived (jigsaw puzzles! bird identification guides!), and is surrounded by the most beautiful, mostly native garden. It's a short walk to the beach, which we had mostly to ourselves every time we visited, and when we returned to the house, it was so nice to sit on the deck and watch all the birds and chipmunks frolic while we sorted our beach treasures. Highly recommend this spot, and will definitely return in the future if they continue to rent it out. Thank you so much, Neal and Ida, for sharing your lovely home with us!
This property has three distinct zones between the cabin and the water. There is a yard and gardens, a woodland with a camp fire pit and then the beautiful beach. You stroll through all three zones on your way. It was nice to be able to come off the beach, walk through the trees, the gardens, spray off in the yard and relax on the porch. We really enjoyed all the bird, deer and chipmunk activity. Morning coffee sitting on the logs on the top of the dune before the beach each morning was a plus. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time. The kitchen is equipped with the necessary cooking utensils for meal prep with a full sized oven and refrigerator. The whole family definitely enjoyed the stay. The owners were very helpful and provided extra travel instructions and tips on activities. We would stay at The Cabin on Strawberry Lane again. Thanks for the great week.

We are delighted you had an enjoyable time and appreciated all the things that make this such a special place.
Thank you for being great guests and so respectful of our home. We look forward to you visiting again.
We had a great time together, and the house added to the fun. It was a cozy and comfortable place. It had everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, utensils, etc. The bedrooms were comfortable, everything was clean and accessible.
The view was lovely. Access to the beach was close and easy. The back garden was pleasant and green. We loved watching the birds and chipmunks check out the feeder right there by the living room.
Our only issue was the wi-fi. Our devices wouldn't connect. We don't know if the wi-fi wasn't connected or we didn't enter the password correctly. We tried multiple times. It wasn't that important to us, so we didn't press it.
I highly recommend this house. Very enjoyable. We hope to get to stay there again.

About the host
Your host
Neal and Ida are both native Oregonains and have always had a connection to the Oregon coast. We are delighted to share our little piece of Paradise with you. Ida, a retired art teacher, is working to re-establish native flora and increase the biodiversity of the property, inviting birds, bees, butterflies and more. We divide our time between Portland and the coast.
Why they chose this property
We could look out across the meadow and woods all day and be content but the beach beckons us a few steps further. We love that the beach is so unpopulated; often we are the only people on the sand.
What makes this property unique
Peaceful, green, tucked away, but within easy reach of dining, shopping, and more. Mini forest, creek, bridge, hammock trees, large fire pit, gardens, friendly wildlife.
