Charming dog friendly waterfront beach home with lovely patio

Summary:

Sand Castle 2



The Space:

When you plan your next trip to the Oregon Coast, consider amplifying the experience by actually living on the beach! With its quaint charm, beach-y decor, and modern amenities, this Rockaway Beach vacation rental will offer you amazing views of the water, easy access to the sand, and enough distance to have some peace and quiet - but not miss out on local activities.



Only two miles north of Rockaway Beach proper, Sand Castle Villa is one of the many locations that offer some of the best views of the Oregon Coast you'll get while driving - or walking, or biking, or whatever! Rockaway Beach is an exemplary Oregon Coast town, with cute eateries and trinket shops, plus beautiful parks and long stretches of sand for ultimate beach time.



This section of Sand Castle Villa is a three bedroom, three bathroom apartment; the upper floor includes the living space and a bedroom/bathroom combo. Downstairs are the two other bedrooms and bathrooms. The soft white walls catch most of the natural light, creating a sense of airiness; the decor is ocean themed, with soft pink and purple tones that create a quirky, homey feel. Downstairs is a primary bedroom with a king-sized bed and access to an outdoor patio, and a second bedroom with a twin-over-double bunk.



Upstairs, the second primary suite offers plenty of space to spread out, a mounted TV, and a king-sized bed with a private bathroom. The gem of this condo? The wall of full windows looking over the beach. There's also a patio for you to go sit out on - any time of day, with someone or alone, the beach is right there for your admiration.



The dining alcove is perfect for family style meals or an early breakfast alone. Enjoy the cozy sitting area with a couch and a big reading chair done in soft pinks. There's flat screen TV with cable mounted into the wall, and Wi-Fi for your convenience.



Enjoy a fully-stocked kitchen with plenty of counter space - including an eating island with bar stools - white appliances, including a dishwasher, and a double oven for extra cooking space. You even have a food mixer for baking bread, cakes, or cookies on stormy days while your friends and family lounge around you. You can cook and store your vacation's worth of food without any difficulty! There's also a washer/dryer for those mid-vacation loads of laundry. This duplex has a garage and plenty of on-street parking.



The beach is there for your enjoyment, either from your deck or patio, from the weather-beaten benches, or from the road as you drive to your next destination. Poke around tide pools or fly kites; take long sandy runs or find a good spot on a hill for whale watching. Take a little road trip up to the Manhattan Beach State Park, or head to Rockaway Beach for bike and paddle boat rentals. Dogs -welcome for a small nightly fee - will love the great outdoors!



The Sand Castle Villa's purpose is to keep you comfortable during your Oregon Coast vacation - you enjoy yourself, bond with your family, laugh with your friends, and we'll take care of the rest!

The home was very clean. Had all the amenities we needed for a great weekend. The hot tub is a nice added feature to look out early in the morning and late evenings for beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Stunning view and well stocked with anything you could need. However, the property could use some upgrades. The big stuff like furniture is fine, but small things like towels, waste baskets, etc. could be replaced for a more positive experience.

We did have a great relaxing time. The house was well stocked in all rooms. Loved the labels on the kitchen cupboards and drawers. There were a few things not so great, several items for preparing and cooking food were dirty. A couple items had dried food stuck on them. One of the cupboards had food scraps in it. Yuck! Several stained towels. Animal hair on several things. I guess I didn’t read it was animal friendly. My fault. Pillows on window bench had stains. Up stairs shower sprayed out all over the top. All in all it is a very nice comfortable house. Just wanted to point out a few things that you can address. Thank you!!

Family getaway

Nice place. Two bedrooms down stairs each with a door outside. Main living area and third bedroom up stairs. One thing didn't see from other reviews I might have missed it is that there is rock steps down to the beach this made is easy to take the kids down.

Perfect beach getaway for families

This was a perfect getaway on the coast for our family and grandparents. Great location, loved the view from the dining room and balcony and really appreciated having a bathroom for each bedroom. I would definitely recommend this place.

Such a cute house with the best view. Not much to do in Rockaway beach but the house is worth driving the extra miles to Cannon Beach or Seaside for the day. Will stay here again.

Best pet friendly beach access ever. Comfortable for about 5 or 6 plus dogs. Not perfect, you definitely pay for that beach access, but we'll probably be back.

Great Spot for Family

This location was perfect, situated directly on the beach. The apartment was spacious and very welcoming, a super cute vibe. Lots of puzzles and board games to hang inside when it was raining and the owner provided extra details around the place to make you feel cared for. Ex. Extra soaps, towels, laundry baskets, a good amount of utensils and spices in the kitchen, and some beach gear. It was very considerate and we will definitely be renting this again!

Perfect location on the beach

Overall a great stay with perfect view and location. There isn’t a great area for lounging on the couch As the living room is very small. but that’s about it for faults. It’s a we’ll stocked kitchen, great view, easy beach access and dog friendly.

Beautiful location!

The property is in a great location for families and pets. We found the kitchen to be well stocked and clean. I would have given 5 stars, but the couches desperately need to be replaced or have new foam put in them and the bunk bed room needed a deep cleaning. There's really only room for 5 people to hang out on a crummy day and watch movies (the place sleeps 8). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

Great beach front location

The location of the house is excellent, just a few steps to the beach, and tons of ocean facing windows inside. The kitchen is well stocked, and while the living room is a bit cramped for a group of people we really liked that each bedroom had its own bathroom. While the property is a bit more of a walk from town center than we are used to this is more than made up for by the excellent restaurant/bar around the corner. The one weird thing is that the only access to the back deck is through the two downstairs bedrooms, but this was not a big issue for us.

Nice

Kitchen was well outfitted. Living room too small for 7 people, good beach access, not enough dinner plates for 7 people, could have used chairs for downstairs deck area. Need to check light switches and replace burned out lights.

Right on the beach!!!

Loved hearing the waves from every room in the house..well stocked in kitchen and linens and towels. So convenient to have a full bathroom for every bedroom. We had neighbors next to us and they had kids, but we didn’t hear them at all.. I am 65 and had a total hip, and had no problem going down the rock steps to the beach. Also in the garage, they had a lot of beach toys, which our grandchildren loved.. there was a hose hooked up by the back door, which made it nice to clean up from the beach before coming in the house..loved ♥️ Our stay..

Great view

We were mesmerized by the view. The decor was bright and cheerful, and the layout of the house was comfortable. We knew it was a pet friendly home, but were admittedly surprised by the amount of hair still left on all the furniture. The house could use a much needed deep clean. We did find the listing slightly misleading with the images of the hot tub, as there was no hot tub. Because of the slightly misleading marketing and the cleanliness of the house I feel it was overpriced with all the additional fees. Over all it was a nice getaway that we used to accomplish a couple big work projects that required deep concentration with no distractions.
