Summary:

Cedar Creek Retreat



The Space:

Explore all of Rockaway Beach, including the town's wide, sandy shores and quaint downtown area along Highway 101, from this dog-friendly home with room for up to six guests.



This home resides in a quiet neighborhood on the northeast side of town and is only a half-mile walk from beach and souvenir shops, eclectic eateries, and attractions like the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad.



Step inside to feel stress melt away in the home's comfortable interior, which features plush furnishings, modern conveniences, and thoughtful decor that conveys a sense of peace. Enjoy updates like WiFi, cable- and DVD-equipped television (also includes a DVD library), plus modern kitchen appliances for quick and easy meal prep.



Whip up homemade breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the full kitchen with all the cooking necessities. Share group meals at the nearby four-seat table, at the breakfast bar, or dine with coastal views from the outdoor deck. Just down some stairs from the deck, you'll find the outdoor firepit.



Up to six guests will find the perfect end of the day accommodations in two bedrooms. The master suite has a king bed, the guest bedroom has a queen bed, and the living area has a sofabed. Your dogs are welcome to come along, though please note the nightly pet fee.



Some fun day trip adventures include crabbing in Nehalem Bay, taking the steam-powered Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad train to Garibaldi, and visiting the International Police Museum (admission is free!). If you've come during the summer, make sure to check out Lake Lytle one mile north for stand-up paddleboarding, fishing, kayaking, and other lake sports.

Great home with a great location. Saw deer in the neighborhood. The Rockaway Beach is a big stretch of beach, very family friendly beach with sand washing station. Fun little shops downtown. There is a train you can take too. The Tillamook Factory is a must do in the area (grab lunch, take the self guided tour and then get an ice cream treat; I recommend the Marion berry Pie flavor, and they also have a 3 scoop flight option). Echols State Park is a nice option, we saw a moose crossing the road. Oswald West State Park is nice too, at Short Sands Beach we saw lots of surfers and some neat tide pooling. The house fills bigger than it is, and the beds are comfortable. The front and back porches are very relaxing. Lots of kitchen amenities and supplies. There were games and puzzles too. We were a family of 6 traveling (three generations).

Thanks for sharing your lovely stay at Cedar Creek Retreat. We’re so happy your three-generation family of six found the home comfortable—the roomy feel, comfy beds, and relaxing front and back porches sound like the perfect spots to unwind. It made our day to hear about the deer and moose sightings and that you enjoyed Rockaway Beach, Oswald West, tide pooling, and the Tillamook Factory (great Marionberry Pie tip!). We’d be glad to welcome you back for another coast visit.

It was a clean and relaxing home with comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen. The only thing that I would say is that the gas grill needs to be replaced with a new one or one that it is better condition. Thank you!

Perfect retreat

Loved this cozy house. It was just off the beaten path and in a quiet neighborhood, but close enough to hop on 101 easily or check out the beach and town of Rockaway. Awesome stay.

Great location in Rockaway

Staying several blocks off the main drag was perfect for us. The neighborhood is very quiet, a nice relief from the 101 traffic. The house is lovely, with all the amenities we needed.

Great Place to Stay

Stayed here for business a few nights, and was pleased with the accommodations. It was a bit difficult to get into the lock-box after dark (couldn't see the 'open' writing on the top of the box), but other than that it was great.
