About this property

Forested Coastal Paradise With Views, Epic Game Room, Shuffle Board, Ping Pong, 1/2 Mile to Ocean

Tranquil by the Pond is the perfect escape. Sitting just a half mile up from the beach you have your own wooded enclave, complete with pond, views, movie room, and epic game room.



Upon arriving you will enjoy the ample parking at the roundabout at the home overlooking the hills and valley below. As you enter this incredible home you are greeted with foyer that opens up into an enormous open floor plans with the living, dining, and kitchen together. Just beyond is an expansive 600 square foot porch with forest and skyline views. Every piece of décor inside and out was curated for our quests to find the perfect blend of comfort and style.



This main level also has a spacious primary bedroom with attached bath and walk-in closet. The closet does have a crib for the families travelling with little ones. For those that need, there is laundry available on this floor as well. Upstairs there are another two bedrooms and full bathroom as well.



One of the jewels of this home is the bottom level game room. It is truly epic. The American Shuffle Board game is always a highlight and playable by all ages. There is a ping pong table with spectator seating. If you want to chill and game a bit there is a poker table for you to try your luck at, and a sauna if you need to steam away any losses. For family time, take a break and watch a show in the theater style room with the whole group. There are almost too many amenities to list here!



If all of that wasn't enough, there is an additional two bedrooms, and a kitchen within the detached dwelling unit. This helps provide ultimate flexibility for families and groups and options for sleeping arrangements.



It is virtually impossible to find any other home in the region with so much to offer that sits barely a one minute drive to the beach as well as downtown Rockaway Beach. There are numerous options for groceries, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment just a mile or two away. Please reach out if you have any questions at all. Tranquil by the Pond is an experience unlike any other.

We had an amazing stay! We LOVED the house, the kids especially loved the yard and the game room. Only giving it 4 stars because the beds were not very comfortable and there were a number of things that didn’t work: shuffle board table, game room fridge, coffee maker, Wii, garage door and one of the burners in the stove. (To be fair I did accidentally break a framed picture, so we might be even)

20 Stars!

Some of the comments from my fellow travelers were: “Excellent!” “Five plus five plus five plus five stars!” Tranquil by the pond is just that. Our quilting group had a phenomenal time relaxing and sewing. I can’t say enough about the homeowners who shared their home. Every little detail was very evident. There was so much to do. We were able to watch the deer by day and the frogs sang us to sleep every night. We highly recommend this home and will definitely be back!

This was the perfect space for our friend reunion! Lots of space to sprawl out and have moments of quiet. The game room was so fun to use and we really enjoyed everything the property had to offer. Cooking was a breeze with a fully stocked spacious kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very clean and homey. 10/10 would recommend this place! Easy walk to the beach and such lovely forest wildlife (deer) in the mornings :)

Fabulous vacation rental

We can’t see enough good things about this home we stayed at!! Very clean, practical things to use. The decor was very nice. We felt we were staying in a high class home. We have a new baby in the family and the crib area was perfect for them to sleep in. Absolutely love the game room. It was downstairs and very quiet while the younger crew wanted to play shuffleboard and watch movies. It was perfect for our family. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful beach trip with lots of good memories. 🧡♥️💜

50th Anniversary Family Trip

Sibling fun

This is a nice quiet location. We saw deer on morning walks to the beach. Enjoyed the Tillamook factory and had a great crab melt at Old Oregon Smokehouse. The old forest walk is beautiful! The train ride was fun and informative.

Fantastic rental

The house was perfect for our beach weekend. We stayed in most of the time and had plenty of space to relax and enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare several meals. The game room was fun and the deer in the yard was an added bonus. It was a short walk to the beach and downtown shops.

Great games, lovely home

We loved staying at this house! It was perfect for our family of 5 adults and their friends. The shuffleboard, ping pong and poker table were a great hit. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed making a good many of our meals throughout our stay. Beaches are within easy walking distance. Would recommend this house for family gatherings. Plenty of choices of fun activities at the house and in the area.

Multigenerational Getaway

We had a wonderful four night stay at Tranquil By the Pond. The home is light and spacious with luxurious amenities including a top notch crib and changing table. From the gourmet kitchen to the sauna to the theatre game room, it had something for everyone. It was great to have ample parking on the large property. We really appreciated the low-key,welcoming check-in and easy check-out process which made it feel like a true vacation. We hope to return again in the future!

What a great place to stay!

We have an annual trip guys that we take to the Oregon coast to golf and hangout, this house was perfect! It is easy to get to and in a perfect location in town. Just off the main strip but still have access to things you may need or want to do. It has many things to do (Shuffleboard, Ping Pong, Poker Table, large yard (brought cornhole setup down), Theater room, wide open main area for relaxing and a great deck for dinner and drinks. All rooms were good, beds comfy, and the house was plenty stocked with necessities for eating and sleeping. At the end of each trip we chat about if we liked it and maybe book again for next year, everyone enjoyed the house!

Beautiful house

We enjoyed our stay, in the game room aka shuffleboard where we spent most of our time as it was raining. The outside light was tricky on the stairs but we managed. The bed we're great. The outside apartment had a bad smell all I did before my friends showed was add some plug-ins and closed the laundry room door. All in all, it was a good stay.

I liked that this property was far enough from all the tourists but close enough to everything. kids loved that this property had probably an acre or two to run around. The movie theater was a plus. Overal we liked the property and the amenities it was offering. the only con thing i can think about is the main kitchen had propane as a cooking source. so it took a while to heat up the soup for our group.

Rockaway Treasure

What an incredible house. We have been staying in Rockaway for over 40 years and renting houses out each year. This by far has been our favorite. We could not have asked for a better place. the parking was great. The cleanliness of the house was outstanding Everything we needed was available to us. The beach was a short walk also into town. We will for sure rent this house again. FIVE STARS! The Olin Clan

Perfect Coastal Stay

We loved our stay here! Great main house with huge kitchen and lounging area. We enjoyed meals on the deck and the open living room/kitchen was a great place for the 11 of us to hang out. There are only three bedrooms in the main house, and two rooms (minus a door) plus a pull-out in the 'annex'. The annex felt a lot like summer camp with limited privacy so heads up if you're traveling in a group utilizing all of the beds. The beach is a short walk and we appreciated all of the towels provided. The company was quick to respond via text with any of our questions. Would recommend!

Nice

Great location, beautiful house, thoughtful touches, all the cooking supplies you could need, cozy, good temperature control in the smaller “house”. Our only complaints are the beds were hard and uncomfortable even though the bedding itself is nice. Also, the WiFi wouldn’t work in the second building, but there was a strong signal for a locked WiFi named “tranquil”. Surprisingly was the WiFi offered. Overall would recommend for sure. 4.5 stars would be more accurate.

Everything was great except there was dirty dishes left in the dresser of the master bedroom.

Stove cooktop doesn’t get hot enough. Takes forever to cook on. Plumbing problems. Wonderful home but not worth the money for the problems.

Main House is Amazing

This house is in a great spot in Rockaway. Walkable to the beach, and with lots of space for multiple families. The main house with the three bedrooms is awesome- great spaces for groups, well-equipped kitchen, fun ping pong table and shuffle board. The bonus house with the extra two bedrooms was not as great. The beds were uncomfortable and there was definitely a mold issue that was not new (I counted 6 air fresheners in the small space). I would give the main house 10 stars, and my family loved it, unfortunately as the reviewer, I stayed in the bonus house and definitely had a different experience.
