We had a mixed experience: the location is excellent, close enough to the beach, short walk to a boardwalk to a really old cedar tree, quiet neighborhood. The place was clean and tidy. The large bed was comfortable. One issue that may not be the fault of the owners: On entering the driveway, you go over a culvert, and there's a bad dip in the gravel on each side of the culvert, causing the bottom of the car to scrape every time. We enjoy reading, but lighting is a challenge. There are no lights in the comfy-seating area, so at night the recliner and other chair are in relative darkness. The kitchen is well-lighted by a fluorescent fixture that comes on only if one flicks the light switch just right. Both bedrooms and the bathroom were missing some bulbs. There is a wood stove, kindling and wood provided, but no matches. Kitchen appliances, for example glass-top range, were fine, although the microwave was tricky: it has to be unplugged or it won't let the door open. There are literally hundreds of DVDs and videotapes, but the instructions provided are wrong, and we never were able to watch any of them, even though I'm a pretty good tech guy and spent over an hour trying. (I've asked the hosts to update the instructions.) There were no books or magazines to read, other than tourist guides.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Needs new furniture, but nice neighborhood and close to the beach.

This house is fine if you know what you're getting. We stayed with our family of 5 looking for somewhere close to the beach and central enough for day trips. The good: It's a short walk to the beach. We took advantage of this several times. Rockaway beach is a cute town with restaurants and grocery stores. Overall it's pretty clean and in a quiet neighborhood. They have a good selection of movies and games for if you get a rainy day during your trip The bad: The furniture is terrible. The couch has no back support at all. It needs to be replaced. The beds in the second bedroom are old and uncomfortable. If you only have kids sleeping there it will be ok. I slept in the bed because the kids got scared at night and it was bad. Every time you move the bed cracks and creaks.

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!
