Was locked out for 45 minutes upon arrival because apparently the maintenance crew changed the lockbox code without informing office, so there was alot of frustration after getting off work and driving 3 hours and being tired and needing to use a restroom. But after entry, the view is beautiful and the home is cute. There are not bunks anymore as shown, they are separate beds. The wifi signal is very weak. Didnt bother me, but some were bothered. Not even enough silverware for even 8 people...washing alot or bring plasticware. Definitely not as stocked as most rentals we have been to. Ended up being a fun time with a beautiful weekend though. Never long enough.
The location away from the busy highway 101 was nice. The only complaint we had was comfort of the beds being way too springy. Overall we enjoyed staying with a nice view.
The view was great but it was so bright inside with no shades you had to wear sunglasses inside. That was the only issue but it was big with early sunrise and late sunset.
We picked this place for the views and it didn’t disappoint. While some decor is a tad dated, and our dog was incessantly interested in the rug smells, we had a nice stay and good enough weather to enjoy the balcony. Also chilly enough nights to enjoy the tub and fireplace. Props to having no less than three coffee making options! Would be a great place for a family holiday with the space and double ovens.

Would definitely stay there again if we need a place in Rockaway. Lovely, well insulated (never felt cold even with so many windows) and it was very comfortable on all three levels even though it was a chilly, rainy weekend. Our family plans had gotten canceled (wedding) but my husband and I kept the reservation and stayed there alone and it was peaceful and relaxing! The ocean views were perfect.

Best 40th anniversary, father's day, birthday place ever.
Love this house and everything about it. So lovely, best views of the ocean imaginable, super comfortable sofa & recliners to relax by the fire and watch the sunset from the living room. Great space for a couple of our adult kids and their wives to visit and hang out one evening for food and games and birthday gifts (and father's day fun). Best weekend ever - perfect place to spend it! Thank you so much!

Reviewer Comments:
This is a very nice home. Spacious with plenty of room to spread out. Views of the ocean are amazing. Just note: the jacuzzi jets in the tub don't work. Still a nice place for a bath, but no jets.
This was a beautiful home to stay in. The view from all floors was spectacular. The house was clean and well stocked with kitchen essentials (bring your own spices if you plan on doing alot of cooking). The rental company, Oregon Beach Vacations included personalized touches that elevated our weekend stay. My only critiques of the house itself are: not all of the windows have coverings, and at night it can feel a bit fish-bowl like. Not everyone gets weirded out by the thought of neighbors watching you cook or eat dinner. I'm high-strung. I'm the problem. The beautiful master bathroom does not have a door. So, if your significant other happens to be lounging in bed and the morning caffeine hits aggressively, might I suggest going to a different bathroom, unless sounds and smells of that nature are your partner's jam. I'm not here to judge, just inform. The beds are very firm. My husband adored them. I prefer something less firm, so I did a bit of hobbling around in the morning. Staying here felt as if you are exhaling from a deep stress-relieving breath. No matter if the weather is good or bad, this home allows for the ultimate PNW coastal getaway. I strongly recommend this location.

This wonderful home has amazing views...the view of the ocean can be seen from the deck, the living area, lower level & lower deck. You can open the patio doors to feel the cool breeze & hear the sound of the ocean waves as you enjoy the view! The house is well equipped and has everything needed to enjoy your stay. The location is also great. Tillamook was only a short drive to the south. We also drove north along the Pacific highway to Astoria for a day trip. We will definitely return to this house in the future!!

The house, view, and location is exactly as described. The pictures of the view are honest -- absolutely gorgeous! (I can't always say that about vrbo homes.) The lay-out was perfect for our family gathering of 10. Each of our smaller family units had their own space with 2 common areas and a deck. We had a problem with the dishwasher and within 24 hours, 2 people from maintenance responded and fixed the problem. All beds were very comfortable. We would have no hesitation staying here again.

Downstairs toilet ran so we turned off water to it. Beds were very uncomfortable w/springs. Couldn't find coffee pot so used other container. Later learned dishwasher was full of dishes & coffee pot. Barb-a-que took 20 minutes to clean as bottom was full of grease and unsafe to use due to fire hazard. $800 for two nights for house that was not perfect was too much. Beautiful house & location.

Hello Cindy, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at The Lighthouse. We would have loved to send maintenance out to the home to resolve some of these issues for you. We hope to have you stay with us again soon on the Oregon coast.
The house itself it fantastic: unique, function layout and killer views. Unfortunately, Oregon Beach Vacations is running it on a bare bones budget, which is very frustrating for a place that cost us $600+/night. A few of the issues:
- sheets and towels are old, rough, and cheap
- single ply toilet paper
- hard beds
- very limited consumables (TP, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher pods, etc)
- there was pink algae around the bathroom sink drains and black mold in the shower
- no deck chairs
- BBQ propane tank rusted shut
- no screens on most windows and sliding doors
Looking at the previous reviews going back over a year it's clear OBV is aware of these issues but refuses to correct them. I'll be avoiding their properties in the future.

Our family had a great vacation at the Lighthouse. The house was very clean and lots of space for everyone to spread out, and space to hang out together. The walk to the beach was about a mile, with part being uphill, but that just helps walk off some of that vacation food. The views were incredible. We will definitely make another reservation here if it opens up again. For the conveniences in the house - There was only one small roll of paper towels - no paper napkins or extra roll. Had to buy more. Also the coffee maker lid is not secure and the pot was stained. Maybe a new coffee maker is in order. Other than those minor items everything was clean and convenient.

Hello Adrienne, Thank you for your review. We are glad to see that you and your family enjoyed your stay at The Lighthouse. It sounds like the home had everything you needed to enjoy your trip. We are sorry to hear that you did not have enough paper towels during your stay. We provide each of our homes with a starter pack of supplies, akin to those of our competitors, and we list this for all of our guests on our check out page as well as our FAQ page. We will look into purchasing a new coffee maker for this home. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have you stay with us again in the near future. Thank you again for your review.
Don’t get me wrong, this place is GORGEOUS. However, the beds are extremely uncomfortable. No one slept well and one member in our party had to drive 30 mins to buy a blow up mattress - yes it was that bad. The sheets are like plastic sandpaper and literally stick to your skin and the mattresses in every room are SO uncomfortable. The bathtub in the master bedroom also had red drips of something in the bottom and residue. No one used it for this reason. The kitchen was well stocked and it was decorated really cute, but we won’t be back just because everyone was achey and tired. Being able to sleep is really important on vacation. Also, when getting in the house the last number on the lock box sticks really bad and we almost couldn’t get the keys to go in. It is very beautiful and the location is amazing. But I wouldn’t recommend it, pick somewhere else.

Reviewer Comments:
Our 3 day stay included a major coastal storm with strong 25+ mph winds and very heavy rains. It truly felt like we were in a real lighthouse up high on the hillside with those great windows. It was spectacular. Even when we briefly lost power, we had the gas fireplaces and the gas stove top. The wind blew down the BBQ unit and moved it around some. And the wind blew the screens on all three sliders, which were ceaselessly flapping loudly, metal parts and magnets banging and crashing on the glass. There was no way to tie them down. It was really the only fly in the ointment, but I have to mention it! We all would have slept so much better without that disturbing noise. Perhaps for winter now you could remove those truly irritating, useless screens?! Future guests will appreciate it, believe me! And if that were fixed, we'd sure like to stay in the Lighthouse again during a storm!

Cleanliness Issues
The property is not well-maintained. The towels and sheets are low quality and thin and scratchy.
The house was a little dirty when we arrived. One of the beds had a lot of sand and hair in it as if the sheets had not been changed. There are weird stains in the primary bedroom tub. It needed to be vacuumed. I reported it to property management and it was cleaned again. It was better.
The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. I tried to run it. It did not work. I reported it to property management who opened up a work ticket. After a day, the washer was still broken so I called again. At that point, I was told that the work order was canceled because the owner was going to replace the dishwasher. At no point prior to my arrival was I told that the dishwasher was broken. And I had to call to learn that they wouldn't be fixing it. Moreover, we kept finding dirty dishes that had been put back on the shelves dirty. DISGUSTING!
Property management sent me a complaint form to complete which had a "be reviewed" by someone before they can do anything for us.
I informed them that we would be leaving all the dirty dishes for then to deal with. I DONT DO OTHER PEOPLE'S DISHES BY HAND ON MY VACATION!
The views are amazing. If I owned this house, I would maintain it better. Overall, it's kind of shabby.

Birthday Shenanigans
This home has amazing views. The house is set up nicely for multi-family groups. However, from the moment we walked through the door we were disappointed with the lack of cleanliness. I contacted the "property management" and Shelley apologized for the inconvenience saying she would have the housekeeper (Pam, as indicated on the card) come back to clean. We left to pick up food and were gone no more than 75 minutes. When we returned, we did not notice any change in presentation. I waited a few hours before calling back. Again Shelley was the person I spoke with. She told me the house was clean and had the audacity to argue with me. I sent pictures to her email of feces on the toilet seat, human hair on the washcloth laid out on the counter, what appeared to be dried blood on the tub (later to be determined a stain of unknown origin), obvious spilled fluid on sticky floors, and food on the stairs. I never heard back from anyone before checking out two days later. I looked for cleaning products to be able to disinfect surfaces but there were not any available to guests. All of this and still charged hundreds of dollars (had to revise review) cleaning fee. It is regrettable that the owners are either unaware of the lack of responsiveness from the "management company" that I am guessing they are paying a premium to ensure their guests are satisfied with the quality of the product, or they are okay with charging a cleaning fee for "enhanced cleaning" while leaving guests to feel disgusted as soon as they walk through the door. I did send the property owner an email to convey my concerns privately, but no response to date. I just wish I knew how to post the video!

Could have been better, changed since last year.
This is the second Christmas holiday we’ve stayed here but we will be looking elsewhere next year. The propane fireplaces and the cook top did not work (out of propane, not checked before our check in). Two cadet heaters downstairs did not work; one of them was in the bedrooms. The mattresses were not comfortable at all. One of our kids had to sleep on the pullout sofa and it was really uncomfortable.

We took the grandkids here and they loved it. They were able to have the lower level as their "place to stay". They spent the rainy days down there playing and having a great time.3 issues I would bring up, these did not overly distract from the overall experience.The grill was small and old, it was quite rusted out it didn't work. The jacuzzi tub was inoperable. The last is that the hand railing on the deck was loose with only a small piece of red tape stating to be careful. We had to block access to the deck with furniture to make sure the kids did not go out because, what is the first thing kids want to do? They want to run over to the rail and see how far down it is to the ground.Our family still had a wonderful time here. We went to the Jetty Marina and bought fresh crab. All the amenities were here at the home to crack and prepare the crab. We had plenty of utensils, dishes, etc.Everything as well kept
