We completed building our brand new 2 level vacation house in Twin Rocks a few years ago. Twin Rocks is just South of Rockaway Beach (about 15 miles north of Tillamook) - just 90 scenic minutes from Portland.
Our house is a 2 Bedroom 2 Bath very comfortably furnished house with a full kitchen. There is a 2 level large patio (one covered) with a lovely view of the mountains and has a charcoal BBQ and patio furniture.
****SEE LINK (near first calendar below) FOR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS****
Our comfortable house is less than a one minute walk to the beach. - one road away from the beach front- just steps away from the pristine quiet clean 7.5 mile Twin Rocks beach.
It is a perfect get away, a comfortable retreat, for a family or a romantic getaway in a quiet serene atmosphere. You will enjoy the secluded, peaceful & beautiful Twin Rocks Beach and the spectacular sunsets. Near Shopping, dining & beach & yet still secluded.
This is our vacation house, our family's pride – not a professional vacation rental.
Sleeps maximum 6 adults (includes 2 adults in sofa-bed) plus 2 loft beds (1 Twin; 1 Double/Full) suitable for 2-3 older children;

Why the Owner Chose Rockaway Beach
We fell in love with the serenity of the Twin Rocks beach - it truly is a hidden gem - away from the 'tourist' beaches - but yet very accessible to nearby townships and a large city (Tillamook). The beach is clean and with few very friendly people - the Twin Rocks Island with its spectacular sunsets is just in front. Feed the birds - build castles, take a relaxing walk, Excellent Kite flying in gentle wind and for the young at heart - marshmallows over bonfires on the beach at night.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Every now and then we just have to take a break from our routine - and we always return from the beach house so very refreshed. Since our house is just a minutes walk to the beach - it is very convenient to make several trips during the day - a brisk morning walk with the birds, Coming back for brunch then a walk after tea - returning after Sunset. In summer there is the Coastal Railway which goes from Rockaway Beach to Gharibaldi & Back - the kids (and adults)just enjoy the scenery from open air cabooses - with the tracks at the edge of the sea - the scenery is beautiful and the kids love waiving to pedestrians walking on the roads. There are tide pools to wonder at , Deep Sea Fishing ,Golf, Air Museum in the famous Gas Dirigibles Hanger; Tillamook Cheese Factory Tours; Wine Tasting - so much so close. Our house is just minutes from downtown Rockaway Beach with its restaurants, Library, Ice Cream Parlors and fantastic smoked fish; New Orleans Ribs and British Fish/Chips ( no chains )!

Our family age 1 to 70 spent 3 nights & enjoyed the well-equipped accommodations. The access to the beach was excellent and the hose with sprayer at the front entrance really limited the need to clean up sand in the entryway. We plan to return when we have an opportunity.

Everything about our brief stay here, and the arrangements to do so, were excellent. We contacted the owner with relatively short notice, but had no problems finalizing the details and all went smoothly. The proximity to the beach was great, neighbors were friendly, and the home was well-organized and kid-friendly. Our kids (ages 8, 5 and 2) enjoyed staying here and we will definitely be back!

My family recently stayed at this property and were very pleased with the house and the location. We were only a block or so from the beach, which made it very easy to go back and forth with our kids. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. My kids loved the loft! I would very much recommend this home to others.

My family and I enjoyed staying at the house. So nice to have a kitchen and laundry. Very quiet area. A quick walk to an uncrowded and beautiful beach. Loved nearby tidepools, seafood at Bay City Pacific Seafood and Garibaldi docks. Oceanside on the cape is a quaint and beautiful short trip. Rockaway is a cute town. Very helpul and responsive owner. Nice house. Would recommend to anyone.

From the moment that we arrived we were in a state of bliss. The house was more then we could ever ask for and the kids absolutely loved the loft beds (to them it was a fort to play in). The kitchen was fully stocked and made all the meals a simple task, I was even able to make homemade peanut butter fudge. Every morning we were able to walk to the beach to search for treasures (we found two star fish, tons, of shells and believe it or not a chicken). Each night we had a fire on the beach with marshmallows and new friends and during the day we flew kites, built sand castles, laid in the sun, and boogied the waves. It was great! On the off day that rain came for a little while there were tons of activities to do either north or south of the house. My family had a great time and we are already pulling out our calendars to plan to return next year. Thank you so much.

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 3yr old, 1yr old) just had an excellent labor day stay. The house is very well equiped for families- from toys, games, beach gear, portable crib, the list goes on. Our son absolutley loved the "secret" double loft area where he would hide out to play. The house was very clean, the kitkitchen was well stocked, and there was a nice deck with gas BBQ. Even better, it's just a block away from an excellent beach that was failry empty even on a sunny holidy weekend; absolutley nothing like the major beach areas on the coast. We'll be back.

We had such a good time at your beach house -- we couldn't think of another thing we would possibly need. It is amazingly well stocked for a second home and all of your instructions from our initial reservation through our arrival were very complete and so helpful! We loved the location so close to the beach as it was an easy walk for our 2 year old grandson, and our 13 year old granddaughter loved sleeping in the "loft". What a nice surprise to find children's books and DVD's on the bookshelf. We went into town briefly and saw how busy the "city" beach is, making us feel very fortunate to be staying at your home where such a short walk took us to a nearly deserted beach. We made sand castles, played in the surf, flew kites, and enjoyed nearly 90 degree weather one day--what a wonderful get away! Thanks so much for everything; hopefully we can return again.
