Summary:

Sand Castle 2



The Space:

When you plan your next trip to the Oregon Coast, consider amplifying the experience by actually living on the beach! With its quaint charm, beach-y decor, and modern amenities, this Rockaway Beach vacation rental will offer you amazing views of the water, easy access to the sand, and enough distance to have some peace and quiet - but not miss out on local activities.



Only two miles north of Rockaway Beach proper, Sand Castle Villa is one of the many locations that offer some of the best views of the Oregon Coast you'll get while driving - or walking, or biking, or whatever! Rockaway Beach is an exemplary Oregon Coast town, with cute eateries and trinket shops, plus beautiful parks and long stretches of sand for ultimate beach time.



This section of Sand Castle Villa is a three bedroom, three bathroom apartment; the upper floor includes the living space and a bedroom/bathroom combo. Downstairs are the two other bedrooms and bathrooms. The soft white walls catch most of the natural light, creating a sense of airiness; the decor is ocean themed, with soft pink and purple tones that create a quirky, homey feel. Downstairs is a primary bedroom with a king-sized bed and access to an outdoor patio, and a second bedroom with a twin-over-double bunk.



Upstairs, the second primary suite offers plenty of space to spread out, a mounted TV, and a king-sized bed with a private bathroom. The gem of this condo? The wall of full windows looking over the beach. There's also a patio for you to go sit out on - any time of day, with someone or alone, the beach is right there for your admiration.



The dining alcove is perfect for family style meals or an early breakfast alone. Enjoy the cozy sitting area with a couch and a big reading chair done in soft pinks. There's flat screen TV with cable mounted into the wall, and Wi-Fi for your convenience.



Enjoy a fully-stocked kitchen with plenty of counter space - including an eating island with bar stools - white appliances, including a dishwasher, and a double oven for extra cooking space. You even have a food mixer for baking bread, cakes, or cookies on stormy days while your friends and family lounge around you. You can cook and store your vacation's worth of food without any difficulty! There's also a washer/dryer for those mid-vacation loads of laundry. This duplex has a garage and plenty of on-street parking.



The beach is there for your enjoyment, either from your deck or patio, from the weather-beaten benches, or from the road as you drive to your next destination. Poke around tide pools or fly kites; take long sandy runs or find a good spot on a hill for whale watching. Take a little road trip up to the Manhattan Beach State Park, or head to Rockaway Beach for bike and paddle boat rentals. Dogs -welcome for a small nightly fee - will love the great outdoors!



The Sand Castle Villa's purpose is to keep you comfortable during your Oregon Coast vacation - you enjoy yourself, bond with your family, laugh with your friends, and we'll take care of the rest!

This place is amazing, right on the beach and a short walk to town if you don't want to drive. Kids enjoyed the hot tub. We love being able to bring our pups on vacation and this place made that possible. Clean place, plenty of towels and cooking necessities.

Our stay at the house was so very nice.One thing to know is that this unit is a part of a duplex. We had neighbors on the other side of the wall. They really didn't bother us but we could hear them. I didn't notice this was a duplex until we arrived, Lesson learned...review all the photos before I book.It was a nice stay and gorgeous view of the ocean, we could see the Arches from the window. Nice hot tub, Nicely setup, the living area furniture could have been more comfortable. The property could use some updates and the beach has taken a toll on some of the house. The horizontal blinds for the sliding doors access to the deck need replacing one was not operational and the other was a head banger. Vertical blinds would be much better, We had plenty of towels and the kitchen worked for all of our needs. I would stay here again. But would probably try to rent both halves of the duplex.

We had a very bad experience the last night of our reservation. The fire alarm by the two downstairs bedrooms began beeping loudly. We changed the 9v battery and unplugged the alarm from the wiring harness. We tried muffling it, but nothing worked.I spent three hours (6:00-9:00 pm) trying to make contact with the host to resolve the issue and this accomplished nothing. The alarm beeped every 45 seconds all night long!!! I am currently seeking a refund for the night. Unless this is satisfactorily resolved I will never work with this company again.

View and close proximity to the beach was great, but small things add up to create a distraction to how great the location is.Hot tub not hot the first night (water must have been changed but we were not informed about the possibility of not getting to use the hot tub for half of our stay).Pans still dirty when my wife went to cook the first night. Full chunks of food cleaned out of dishes before use. Ants found all over the island of the kitchen. Other than that we had a good time.

Overall, we had a great stay and really enjoyed this property. The location is hard to beat—the views are beautiful, the beach access is incredible, and we loved spending time on the back deck. The bedrooms were a good size, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.There are a few maintenance items that weren’t mentioned in the listing or previous reviews that future guests, especially those with young children, may want to be aware of. The bunk room has a large open hole in the ceiling that appears to be from previous water damage or a removed light fixture, and the hot tub did not have a lock or other safety measure despite references to hot tub security. Those were the two things that gave us the most pause while traveling with small kids.The home could also benefit from some general upkeep. We noticed sticky window seals that made windows difficult to open, doorknobs that tended to stick, closet doors coming off their tracks, and some missing kitchen trim. Upon arrival, we also found a loaf of bread left in one of the cupboards, along with a few other small items that appeared to have been missed during cleaning.One other thing to note is that the main living area has a small, firm couch, so seating can feel limited if you’re traveling with more than four people.Overall, this home has so much potential. The location alone makes it a wonderful place to stay, and with a little additional maintenance and attention to detail, it would be ideal!

Stunning view and well stocked with anything you could need. However, the property could use some upgrades. The big stuff like furniture is fine, but small things like towels, waste baskets, etc. could be replaced for a more positive experience.

Nice place. Two bedrooms down stairs each with a door outside. Main living area and third bedroom up stairs. One thing didn't see from other reviews I might have missed it is that there is rock steps down to the beach this made is easy to take the kids down.

Perfect location on the beach

Overall a great stay with perfect view and location. There isn’t a great area for lounging on the couch As the living room is very small. but that’s about it for faults. It’s a we’ll stocked kitchen, great view, easy beach access and dog friendly.

Beautiful location!

The property is in a great location for families and pets. We found the kitchen to be well stocked and clean. I would have given 5 stars, but the couches desperately need to be replaced or have new foam put in them and the bunk bed room needed a deep cleaning. There's really only room for 5 people to hang out on a crummy day and watch movies (the place sleeps 8). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!
