This upscale townhouse in Rockaway Beach is just a few steps from the beach, is dog-friendly, and has space for a large group of 10 people!

Located right next to the sand and easily walkable to a few restaurants and cafes in town, this house is a great place to take a beach-focused vacation spend exploring the coastline, building sandcastles, flying kites, and watching the majestic ocean. Within Rockaway Beach you will find eateries and small shops, and you could easily drive 20 minutes to Tillamook to visit its famous cheese factory and larger variety of shops and restaurants.

With two bedrooms (one has a king and a twin-over-twin bunk, and the second has a queen and a full-over-full bunk), a futon, and a sofabed, up to 10 guests will stay comfortably in this lovely home. You are welcome to bring your small and medium dogs with you (under 40 pounds, please), though a nightly fee does apply.

You and your guests will love sitting in the large living room, staring out at the ocean, gazing at the cozy wood fireplace, or watching cable TV or DVDs together. A full kitchen has all the tools you may need to cook up meals during your stay, which you can enjoy at the dining room table, breakfast bar, or even outside on the patio!

With Internet access and a laundry area, you will have all the comforts of home here. Head outside to the patio to find a gas grill and seating where you can relax and watch the sun set over the horizon, or strike up a game of Ping-Pong in the garage.

This comfortable home is a fantastic place to bring your family or friends to enjoy a beach getaway together. Rockaway Beach is not a large coastal town, but it has no shortage of charm. If you want to visit a larger coastal city, drive north about 45 minutes to reach Seaside, or south just 20 minutes to Tillamook.

Enjoy a truly beachfront location when you stay at this welcoming and comfortable vacation home in lovely Rockaway Beach!

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.

A happy gathering

We loved the views and private beach access. So great for the children and all of us to just step out the door and onto the beach! We loved the house, which was great for all our needs. A lovely comfortable home. It was also walking distance to the town.

Great location!!

We could not have gotten a better location! We have rented homes up and down the Oregon coast ( this was the first condo) and we were very pleased! I would rate it among my favorites! The check in was flawless, property management kept in contact for updates, and quickly responded to any questions we had. We have a great experience ALL the way around!

Nice home close to beach

It’s a beautiful home and has many wonderful touches. Best beach access I’ve ever had at a rental. The carpeting needs to be deep cleaned. It looks like many dogs have had a few accidents on it.

Perfection

Once we entered the home we were in full vacation mode. It’s very homey and the view is everything you could ask for. It also offers easy access to the beach. Allowing us to run out to the beach on a total whim. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook in house, but also had bear by restaurants that I would totally recommend and I’m a restaurant snob. I would totally rebook this home.

Fantastic storm watching even with awful weather!

My sister comes out every February as we go stir crazy, out to the Coast. We always get an ocean view home, so that in case the weather is awful we can still storm watch. The weather WAS awful and the house was fabulous. My brother and sister in law came as well, and it was perfect for us and the 3 dogs; we had a marvelous stay. We had not stayed at Rockaway before, and off season it was marvelously quiet and just what we wanted. The view from the master is so great we hung out in there for sunsets and watching the big waves some of the time! Would be happy to stay there again.

Great stay at Rockaway

Had a great stay at this perfect location on the beach. Comfortable beds, clean & well stocked, this townhome is perfectly located with great views & immediate beach access. The Rockaway area is a quiet family location with close proximity to other beautiful areas such as Manzanita & Cannon Beach. There was 1 issue of outside trash containers overflowing with trash from previous renters due to the lack of removal on trash day. The Property Management was notified but not concerned. Other than that had a great time & would consider coming back! Kathy G.

Surf’s Edge

We enjoyed our stay at Surf’s Edge in Rockaway Beach. Mostly the home met or exceeded our expectations. However, there are some areas that could be improved. Access to beach could be improved by trimming back the shrubs lining the path. One of the steps was very high and is difficult for children and the elderly. A hand rail would be a welcome improvement. The window blinds are mounted 7/8 way up the window. This leaves an opening at the top each window allowing sunlight to fill the rooms early in the morning. Please consider re-mounting the blinds at the top of the windows (especially in the bedrooms). The rear door at the back of the home is installed incorrectly with the hinges on the outside of the home. Anyone with a screwdriver can simply remove the hinges and access the home. Considering the rental fees, one would expect the home to be supplied with facial tissue (Kleenex), as well as something better than commercial grade single ply toilet paper (cheap, cheap, cheap!). The digital lock on the front door was convenient the FIRST time. Please provide a physical key to make exiting / entering the home easier. As the home is pet friendly, some small grassy area off the front or back door would have been nice. Overall the home was clean, but I think the windows have not been cleaned in a long time. Cobwebs can be found behind the blinds and most of the windows were hazy.

Beautiful, Clean, Beach Home

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. The house was clean and had everything we needed. I never know what to expect at a VRBO so we picked up soaps, paper towels, toilet paper, coffee filters, salt and pepper. Everything was already provided! The house was situated steps from the ocean and had gorgeous views from both inside and out. I would return to this property. The only “issue” we had was communication. I tired twice through VRBO and once through Vacasa of Oregon Coast to send messages right after we booked the house and they all went unanswered. A week before our trip I finally called Vacasa of Oregon Coast because I was nervous about the lack of communication and not having a confirmation email a week out. I finally did get in touch with someone who confirmed we were all set but that was about it. He couldn’t answer my questions and said we’d get an email the day before our arrival. After traveling from Colorado to Oregon this was anxiety inducing to say the least. In the end it worked out okay and the property was gorgeous but the lack of communication made the overall experience less than desirable.

Gross and unsanitary carpet and incompetent and unresponsive local Vacasa management

When we first checked in I saw that the carpet on the stairs and upstairs was gross and covered with many animal excrement stains. I immediately contacted Vacasa and asked for someone to come and promptly clean the carpet.Despite promises to do it twice, they never came. I was there for a 10 day stay, so they had plenty of time. After a week when it was clear they would not be coming to clean the carpet I asked for a $50/day refund for having to pay full price to live with gross disgusting carpet including in the master bedroom. Once again, despite multiple promises that the Vacasa person would talk with local management and get back to me they never did. This was on top of the property not being cleaned and ready to move in on our day of arrival until 6 pm even when a 4 pm check in was promised. Plus, the unit is long in the tooth and needs multiple repairs and updating. Cleaning the thick dust off of the fake plants, the oven and the inside of the kitchen cabinets and getting rid of the innumerable old nik naks would also be good. As would having folding beach chairs. Since when do you rent a beach house without beach chairs etc. Sadly, this place could be great. The location is fantastic. And hanging out in the family/dining room with the ocean views is great. But the place is not healthy or comfortable to live in with the gross carpet. And Vacasa couldn’t manage their way out of a paper bag. I rent a lot of vacation rentals. This was my worst experience by far.

We stayed in this rental ten years ago and loved it so much we always hoped to return. The views and beach access can’t be beat. This rental has stood the test of time, and while there are a lot of carpet stains from pets over the years, the trade off is that I got to have my little old dog with me for what might have been our last trip together. But seriously, the carpet could use some attention. Also, Lysol wipes or just some basic cleaning products would be helpful. I like to be extra careful when I stay in rentals, especially during cold/flu season. The more guests can keep it clean, the less work for the cleaning crew. Love this place though and would definitely stay again.

Great stay but…

It was a great stay, but our comforter and linens were dirty. :( The comforter smelled dirty and our linens had stains. Thank goodness for DG we went to purchase laundry detergent. The master bedroom definitely needs a new bed frame. The one it has is really squeaky and the mattress is lumpy, but overall the house has a beautiful view to the ocean. I still can’t figure out why there’s ALOT of stuffed animals in all rooms and living room. We will definitely visit again and hopefully the master bedroom has a more comfortable mattress.
