Lifesaver - Meredith Lodging
If you need a vacation like your life depends on it, grab some friends and head over to Lifesaver, a spacious two-story oceanfront home in Rockaway Beach ideal for sharing with another family. Not only does it boast living space on both floors, but it also has separate entrances for each floor, two ocean-view decks, and bedrooms and baths on each floor. But don’t worry both floors have living spaces large enough to get the whole gang, whether that’s family or friends, together for enjoying your time at the beach!
The gorgeous upper-level great room has a soaring, golden beam-and-plank vaulted ceiling with a double set of windows for ocean views through beautiful shore pines. Lots of comfy seating, a wall-mounted TV, a wood stove, and access to the deck make this room extra inviting. A large dining table and extra seats at the breakfast bar mean you can accommodate all your guests for meals together. The kitchen has lots of updated counter space, so there’s no excuse not to have helpers with meal prep. One queen bedroom on this level has access to the deck; another has its own bath; the third has an extra twin bunk, perfect for a family to stay together.
The lower level has its own living space, a big open room with a wall of windows to the sea, a TV, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. Supplemented by three bedrooms, one with its own bath and one with its own deck, this floor has all a family needs for a completely separate living space. A patio out the back door has a picnic table, and a path through beach grass will take you to the surf in minutes. You’ll find miles of level sand, views of Twin Rocks, and plenty of sea and sand. Downtown Rockaway Beach is minutes away by car, and you’ll enjoy day trips galore to Tillamook and the North Oregon Coast from this Lifesaver of a home. Enjoy privacy and convivial company in equal doses on your next visit to the coast!

You are paying for the view and the location at this property. Older home with broken and aged appliances (dishwasher down stairs falls out of place when racks roll out; refrigerator ice/water dispenser broken; toaster broken). Visible wear and tear inside and out. Great view from upstairs. If renting the entire house, the only way to get upstairs is by going outside, no access inside.
We enjoyed the two floors for our family reunion. It was great to have two kitchens, two family rooms and enough bedrooms for each family members. The two minute walk to the beach was great. It felt like we had a private beach area. We loved waving to the train that came by during the day. A great place for our time together.

Hi Dorothea! We are so glad you had an enjoyable and comfortable stay. We loved hosting your family gathering and hope you will book with us again!
There was enough bedroom and hang out space for a big family. The outdoor area and porches were awesome too. A short walk to the ocean enabled us to see the sunset everyday.

This was ideal for a family celebration of life. Easy walk to the beach for all ability levels. Well stocked with essentials with room for all to meet together or have private time. This is a very comfortable home-away-from-home

Great location with a walking path to the beach. Open areas for everyone to gather and enjoy meals together. Good space to accommodate everyone with an upper and lower level. Great view from the upper level. We'd stay here again!

Hi Poppy! Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so glad you had an enjoyable stay. We loved hosting your family at Lifesaver, and look forward to your return!
It was perfect for our large group. We had everything we needed and plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. For that I give the experience a 5* review. Location so nice next to the beach. Loved sitting on the deck for morning coffee. I would have appreciated bush trimming for the ocean view... We experienced rain and fog but the deck provided shelter and comfort. -1 star because of the view obstruction.

Hi Colleen! We’re so glad the home worked well for your group and that you enjoyed the location, space, and mornings on the deck. We appreciate your note about the bushes and will share this with our local team so the view can be better enjoyed in the future. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay soon!
We enjoyed our stay very much! It was perfect for a large party however I do wish that some of the kitchen ware was updated as a lot of the things in the kitchen seemed old.
thanks for a great stay anyway.

A two story duplex on the beach but with limited ocean views. Both kitchens are well equipped. Lots of dining and living seating.

Had a great time staying at Lifesaver. Great location. Didn't realize the only access to both stories is outside. This is an issue in the rain. Needs a lot more coat hooks in both levels. No closet space. The internet was very flaky.

Please note that the internet can be spotty at times on the Oregon Coast, but apologize for any inconvenience. We loved hosting your family and hope you will book with us again!
This home is perfectly located in Rockaway, a quaint little town that worked out beautiful.
I recommend the entire house for multi family use.
The owners representative was kind, the home was clean and it was a peaceful spot.
I recommend the train ride from Rockaway to Garibaldi - it was informative and fun and we saw two bald eagles. I’d use this home again.

Hi Lisa! Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We loved hosting your family getaway to Rockaway and hope you will return!
The house was set up really well with complete setups on both floors. They each had three bedrooms, two baths, and full kitchen living and dining rooms. Each floor was big enough to host dinner for eleven people. The top floor had a bit of an ocean view. You can tell the house has been well used as there is some wear and tear on furniture and flooring. But nothing that takes away from the space. We were lucky and had great weather all weekend and the town was fun to walk through. We enjoyed our reunion there.

Hi Michelle! Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Lifesaver is a popular rental with general wear and tear, but we appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with our local property team. We loved hosting you and hope you will return!
This property was a God-send! This was a family reunion for 13 (7 adults and 6 kids under 9) and 2 dogs for 10 days at the beach and I thought for sure it was ruined when we got news that the initial property we had reserved was taken off the market at the last minute. The initial properties offered in exchange were not acceptable and I was in despair when this property was made available. It was perfect! On 2 separate basically identical levels, it was ideal for our family - Kids and grandkids upstairs, grandparents, single adult and dogs downstairs (allowing for a little peace and quiet when the old folks needed it.) It was an absolutely beautiful location, easy walking access to the beach, nice back yard for the dogs. (We brought our own portable fencing). Lots of room for everyone, comfortable, and clean. It was wonderful! Everyone loved it and hopefully we'll be back soon!

Hi Pamela. We’re so happy that this home turned out to be the perfect fit for your special family reunion—especially after the unexpected change in plans. It means a lot to know the layout, location, and space worked so well for your group (and your pups!). We're so glad the home could provide both comfort and flexibility for all generations to relax and connect. It sounds like beautiful memories were made, and we’d be honored to welcome you back anytime. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!

On the plus side, the living arrangement worked out perfectly for the family as it allowed us to keep separate the small children from the dog they somewhat fear. The house sits a short walk to the beach, which was very nice, and one has a view of the ocean from the house. The open main living layout was great and felt roomy. The children did like it when they heard the train whistle several times a day and were able to see the train go by in front of the house. Inside, it was not as loud as one would expect for how close it is.For minuses, this house is very outdated, the refrigerator is very cheap where the drawers don’t connect to anything, there is no garbage disposal, only two of the four burners on the stove function, and it was not as clean as one would expect as there were multiple areas with cobwebs, including the shower. The toilet in the upstairs primary bath initially wouldn’t flush and we needed to fix that issue, which we did.Overall, I give this home three stars.

First impressions are important
Pulled up to cleaning crew waiting for laundry and to finish and taking pictures of over full garbage can. The house needed some one to think about how guests would use it. There is no where to hang your coat when you come in and a funky odor in the laundry room. The microwave is not working and no closet in main bedroom. We had a great time and enjoyed the beach and beautiful sunsets.

We appreciate your honest feedback, and will share your comments with our local property team to review.

Property was not as advertised
When we booked this house, it looked to be nicely appointed and was supposed to be located in Manzanita. Neither was true. The house was in Rockaway, not Manzanita! Moreover, it was 2 separate residences. The stairs were outside, not inside, so we had to traipse outside to access the upstairs and the stairs were a bit treacherous for some of the guests. (Luckily the weather was ok.) We had to request towels immediately after arriving. There were no coat hangers in the closets. We do not feel we received a good value for this rental.We would not stay there again.
If you value cleanliness, honesty, or basic hospitality—do not book this property. Meredith Properties failed to turn over the home and lied that it was ready. We arrived to filth, were told to “go to dinner,” and returned four hours later to find the upper unit untouched from the last renters and the lower unit still dirty. Beds had reused, unwashed sheets. From then on, management ignored our calls. We spent two days buying basics, cleaning, and trying to get help—while being gaslit the entire trip. The photos are misleading, the home is outdated and dirty, and the management is dishonest and unresponsive. Avoid at all costs.

Hi Peggy. We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing rental experience and understand how frustrating this must have been, especially at the start of your stay. While we did provide compensation for the issues with housekeeping, we recognize that this did not make up for the inconvenience you faced and we sincerely empathize with your disappointment. This is not the standard we strive to deliver, and your feedback has been shared with our team to ensure better preparation and communication going forward. We can only hope we have the opportunity to host you again in the future and provide the experience you expected and deserve.
An enjoyable experience overall, with some exceptions*. Well supplied kitchens (house is on two separate levels with stairs outside), comfortable beds, wonderful view over dunes to ocean from upstairs living area, pet friendly, quiet (except when tourist train rolls by every few hours). Worked great for our family Father's Day gathering.
Exceptions*: microwave in upstairs kitchen non-functioning, which we were notified about several days before arrival, but how long should it take to go out and buy a new plug-in microwave? Upstairs coffee maker also non-functioning, and when we sent a message to the management company, got no reply back for several days, so ended up using the downstairs microwave and coffee maker during our 5-day stay. Also no instructions from the management company about what departure expectations were, so we did a general cleanup and the cleaning fee can cover the deep cleaning. And you pay a hefty "booking fee" charge when you reserve (presumably for the management services), so overall, we expected a bit more value than what we felt we got.
