Exceptional, Updated Two-Bedroom Cottage is Steps to Miles of Beach in Rockaway!
Driftwood - Meredith Lodging
Sweetly retro on the outside, this beach-side cottage has been fully updated for beauty and convenience inside, making it a cosy, rejuvenating space for enjoying time at the beach just steps away from the ocean. With two bedrooms, Driftwood is an excellent spot for a small family or group of friends to gather. With thoughtful updates designed for comfort, this historic cottage has all-new flooring and exquisite tongue-in-groove planked and vaulted ceilings, Smart TVs in the living room and bedrooms, and dining space alongside the kitchenette. A picnic table outside extends your dining space. Two cosy queen bedrooms, one with a vaulted wood ceiling, share a bath.
If you want to invite more friends or family, three other cottages, Beach Bliss, King Tide, and Ocean Break, are available right next door—all with the same fantastic updates. Look up King Crab if you’d like to rent all four for a special reunion of friends and family. All are just steps to miles of level sand at Rockaway Beach. Beachcomb to your heart’s content, try crabbing from the jetty, do some freshwater fishing on Lake Lytle, or just soak in the sun, wind and sky. A trip into town will reward you with whimsical shopping and delicious dining. The Oregon Coast Scenic Railway travels along the coast from Rockaway Beach to Garibaldi with open-air cars drawn by a steam engine, a unique and delightful way to see this rugged stretch of coastline. Access easy day trips to the North and Central Coast’s towns, hikes, and beaches from this sweet, fully updated cottage.

The internet was awful. We stayed until some repairs were done on our house so we thought we could stay and do a little work which required the internet. If you rely on the internet like (tv, school, work related) Don't think this is the place for you. Other than that it was pleasant and comfy.
Trouble with internet for TV kept disconnecting Shower stopped draining after 2 people showered Location was greatCute and cozy

Thank you for the review and for noting the convenient location and cozy atmosphere. I'm sorry you experienced intermittent Wi‑Fi/TV connectivity and a clogged shower drain after use. We've had a technician review the internet and TV setup to improve streaming reliability, and a plumber has cleared and inspected the drain so this shouldn't recur. We appreciate the feedback — it helps us improve. Thank you for staying with us.

Pet friendly and for the most part updated. Locks gave us issues and the shower curtain was moldy and filthy. The property was I available the first night and that caused us issues.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry you experienced issues with the locks and encountered an unclean shower curtain. Maintenance will inspect and repair the locks and the housekeeping team will either deep clean or replace the shower curtain promptly. Thank you for sharing this and know that we are using it to improve.
Driftwood was in a perfect location for what we wanted to do, it was very clean, and comfortable, and communication with the host was excellent. Our biggest frustration was that the WiFi was very inconsistent, especially while trying to watch tv. Also, the only hooks or place to hang clothes were the 3 small hooks in the kitchen.

Thank you for your review. I'm happy the location worked well for your plans and that you found the home clean and comfortable. I'm sorry the WiFi was inconsistent and interrupted your streaming — we will speak with the provider about what can be done to improve the connectivity. Thank you, too, for the note about the hooks. Thank very much for the helpful feedback.
The place was clean and as advertised. I couldn't get ahold of any real person.The roku only allowed us to watch tv channels. When I complained to host I believed I got a text from a virtual host. It told me how to possibly fix the system (not connected to internet) but my husband used his phone and I used by computer. Usually I can talk to real person and get things worked out fairly quckly. It felt very impersonal and not concerned with my needs. For the price I paid each night I should have received better service. I saw Kevin's phone number on a sign by entrybut it was too late being that we were leaving after 3 day visit.
Smaller than expected but nice. Some good f the furniture was broken (chest of drawers) on arrival. Access to the beach was fabulous and worth booking in and of itself. I will note that if you plan to cook meals this isn’t the ideal spot. The kitchen was poorly stocked in terms of basic cooking essentials (no salt, pepper, olive oil) and dishes. The fridge is tiny so I’m glad we didn’t do a grocery shop on our way in. Overall it was perfect for what we needed this weekend and would be nice for maximum of three people (even though it does technically sleep 6).

Thank you for highlighting the beach access — I'm happy that was a key part of your stay. I'm sorry the broken chest of drawers and the kitchen supply took away from an otherwise great stay. The maintenance team is replacing the drawer pull and we will be working with the owner to improve the kitchen inventory. Thank you very much for the feedback.
This was a cute little place. I wish I noticed there was no washer / dryer however. There is a laundromat down the road but we didn’t have much time for that. The place is a quick walk / access to the beach and loved the flooring for sand cakes pups. I did purchase a broom to keep up on the sand. The little vacuum wasn’t cutting it. Bedrooms were a decent size and beds cozy. Decor was giving the beach cottage vibes. Close to all amenities as well.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm happy the coastal decor, cozy beds, and the easy beach walk all contributed to a pleasant stay. I will notify the housekeeping team that the vacuum needs serviced or replaced, thank you so much for purchasing a new broom in the meantime. That was beyond kind!
Really enjoyed the stay, the cabin was sweet. The kitchen could be better stocked, made cooking a little difficult. Extra blankets would be nice too. Would definitely return.

The property was nice and close to the beach with easy access. Very pet friendly with wood floors and was nice and clean. It would be nice to have enough coffee and/or tea for a day or two. Nice place! I'd say again!

Our family had a great time. This simple small cottage was perfect for our weekend getaway with our family. It is just a short walk to get to the beach, which was amazing. The weather that weekend was great so it made it all the better.

None of the outlets in one of bedrooms worked at all so no tv, lamp or charging ports. Was very inconvenient

Thank you for staying with us and for the review. I’m sorry your stay didn’t earn five stars.
I apologize the outlets in one bedroom weren’t working — that should not have happened and I understand how inconvenient that was. We checked on this the day you checked out and determined it was a tripped GFCI outlet causing the issues. We got that reset and everything is working as it should be.
Please message us through the Vrbo app with any additional details you’d like to share. Thank you again for the feedback.
We found the place to be just what we were expecting from the photos! A cute little cottage near the ocean with easy access to the beach. It was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a great stay. When there was a minor issue with the door access keypad during our stay, the owner responded within minutes to ensure it was resolved as quickly as possible. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice place and convenient location. Very close to the beach which was really nice! The fridge was a little small but it worked for us since we were only
There for 1 night. Called the number listed in confirmation email because our key code didn’t work and they were very responsive and got us in quickly.

We had two wonderful nights for our anniversary. Loved the space it was clean and wonderful as pictures showed. Only bad thing was birds had left a big mess right when you step up to the front door.

Thank you for your 5-star review and choosing to spend your anniversary with us! We are so glad you had an enjoyable stay - minus the bird mess. We loved hosting you at Driftwood, and hope you will return!
The location is perfect with that small town feel and soft sandy beach..our vrbo was quant and pleasing but the floors were dirty when we got there, made our socks brown, needs to be mopped and the couch was incredibly hard and uncomfortable which was disappointing after a lot of hiking.

Hi Angela! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Driftwood. We appreciate your feedback, and will share your comments with our local team to review. We loved hosting you, and hope you will book with us again!
We loved how close it was to the beach! House was cute and small. Everything was clean and nice. Quiet area. Only things that were inconvenient was:-Being close to the beach sand gets tracked in and there was no broom to sweep (only a dustpan) and a vacuum that didn’t work to suck up the sand. -There is an oven but not a single pan of any type to use in it! We wanted to make nachos but no pans (minus one that was like 3x3 inches - much too small to use). -No cheese shredder-With how small the bedrooms and bathroom are, with hardly any floor space it would be really nice to have some hooks on the walls or doors to hang stuff on.
