About this property

Charming, lg beach home 5 blocks to sand/town, HOT TUB, firepit,TV.Dog ok.

Come enjoy our perfectly charming, large and lovely comfortable home just 5 blocks to the sand and city center with a HOT TUB, huge kitchen, large & cozy great room and 8' dining room table. You’ll be overlooking a beautiful city park and field with mountain views. Huge firepit outside and big stone fireplace inside mean chilly nights after a day in the sun are more than toasty.
With 3+ bedrooms, everyone in the house has a super comfortable place to sleep. Remodeled bathrooms and kitchen provide the nicest touch of luxury. The 6-minute walk to the 7-mile white, sandy beach and downtown means the joys of beach life with the chance to retreat from the crowds to a spacious yard and home.
The great room features a large stone gas fireplace, huge couch and 65" Smart TV. The big front yard includes Adirondack-like chairs around the large firepit and a picnic table while the back yard is fully enclosed with a bubling hot tub. Fencing and gates ensure safety for pets. Gas BBQ included.
The wide galley kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to whip up a feast for your family. You’ll love the mix and match beachy dishware and serving pieces. Better yet, get takeout from either the Old Oregon Smokehouse or Upper Crust Pizza and eat by a raging fire in the sunken firepit of the front yard.
This one-story ranch house measures 1700 square feet and has only one step inside. It is ideal for families young and old or groups of up to 6 adults and 2 kids. We are dog friendly. With 2 parking spots.
What really sets us apart from other rentals is the cleanliness and charming atmosphere (that is what our guests tell us, at least).You will be welcomed with a personal note from the owner who will share all the details you will need for an easy entry and exit. The owner is also happy to discuss your trip by phone prior and give you tips for the best vacation on the Coast. We also have an onsite contact on the same street to deal with any issue that arises.
This house is the best of all worlds – centrally located on the North Central Coast. Head 20 minutes north to find Manzanita with its outstanding Laneda Street for shopping and art galleries. Just 20 minutes further north and you will land at the world-famous Cannon Beach. If the Tillamook Cheese Factory is on your list, it is an easy 20-minute drive south on the 101 from the house. From there, another 20 minutes you’ll hit Netarts and past that, Pacific City.

Come for a safe and fun, perfect summer experience!

Fantastic House

This house is everything advertised, and more. We walked a short 5 blocks to the beach. We had easy access to the cool little town of Rockaway, everything you need is right there (most important, ice cream and fudge). The beach is lovely. The house has everything you need. We wanted to stay longer, but it was booked! We hope to return again, and will definately stay at the Cox beach house.

Weekend getaway

Our stay was fabulous! Communication with Nancy was great- she responded quickly and was very nice. The house was really clean, well-stocked, and beds were comfy. The kitchen was roomy and had LOTS of counter space! We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and on the back deck. The walk to the beach and local stores is very short, but we felt like we were off the beaten path. We look forward to coming back!

A perfect getaway

We had not been to the coast in 12 years and when we found this place to be so close to the beach & town, we were excited. The house had plenty of space for our family. It was comfortable and had a very homey feel to it. We brought laundry soap and were able to pack lightly due to having a washer and dryer, that was AMAZING! The outside seating areas were very nice to relax and have your morning coffee. Nancy was very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you for allowing our family to create memories in your space.

Excellent Beach Getaway

This was one of the most relaxing vacations we have taken in years. Nancy was awesome and replied to all messages and questions quickly. The house was perfect for the fours of us and a little dog. The house is perfectly located and only a short walk to the beach and town. This is the cleanest house we have stayed in. The hot tub was great as well as the nice patio area. plenty of room to spread out. Everything was suppled and we found we were not wanting for anything. If you're looking for a great place to relax and enjoy your time then this house is a must. We will be going back.

Family Vacation

The house was perfect for our stay. Large living room, dining area, and kitchen. It was very spacious and great for a dog and a baby. Short walk to the small town and the beach. We made use of the fire pit and the hot tub. Check-in was easy and the host was very quick to respond to questions. Everything was exactly as described.

The house was great. A short walk down to the shops or the beach and far enough to be quiet from all the hustle and bustle. The back porch area and hot tub was nice for the kids and keeping them contained. The house had some nice things there to use for the kids also. We will consider staying again if we make it back to Rockaway!

Our family came out for the 4th of July, and couldn't have found a better location. Walkable to the beach and close to the parade route without being on a noisy main street. We were able to enjoy the fireworks show from the front yard by the fire pit. Which was great this year as it was pretty chilly! Huge kitchen with everything we could possibly need. This will be at the top of our list for future visits!

The house is in excellent location to the beach and downtown but still a quiet location. The kitchen is fabulous and accommodated our family. We enjoyed the hot tub and having an enclosed area for the dog. The dining and living room area was large enough for everyone to stretch out and communication with the host was excellent!

Our stay at the Cox’s beach house was wonderful. Lots of family relaxation and fun. The house is bright, cute, and comfortable. The kitchen is modern and well-stocked. The open dining area and living room are enjoyable, happy places to come together after a day exploring. The perfect walking distance from downtown and the beach, but far enough away that you can enjoy the quiet of the neighborhood. After we had an issue with the washer, Nancy was incredibly responsive, coming to take care of the problem herself. We had a fabulous time.

Great Family Vacation

Nancy’s home is just a few blocks from the beach. It was a quick 5 min walk. Easy to come back to the house for meals and return to the beach or stores. Very quaint and quiet neighborhood. Several parks within walking distance. Small town, big, spacious beach. The house was comfortable for the six of us plus our dog. Loved the beach decor and the window seat! Dragon kite provided flew like magic! We had everything we needed. Thanks for providing a beautiful place for us to call home during our family beach vacation.

The house is extremely clean and well cared for. The place is well stocked with just about everything you would need for an extended stay.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Cox

Host profile image
I retired from Intel about 8 years and now enjoy my days with my grandchildren and hanging out with my wonderful friends.

Why they chose this property

I literally stumbled upon this property as I drove from a friend's new cabin there. I wasn't even in the market! It was For Sale by Owner so I walked around and looked in all the windows. The house needed some warming up and the yard needed an overhaul but I made an offer quickly as I could see the potential. My family and friends love coming here. The house was originally built in 1949 and then remodeled many time over the years (hence the fun layout). We think it is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature.

What makes this property unique

The layout means folks in back 2 rooms can sleep in peace while the rest of the group can make noise in the great room. The outdoor space is amazing and the quick walk to the beach makes it perfect.
