About this property

Steps to the beach from this cozy, updated home w/ an oceanview, WiFi, fireplace

Relax in our private vacation home! Our Rockaway Beach vacation rental has a partial ocean view and is just a few steps across the street to the sand! This house has been owned by our family for over 40 years. The ranch style house has been recently updated with a new kitchen, fresh carpet and paint, new sofa with recliners, and recently updated bath. The house is comfortable and well-maintained. We have a big living room with 2 couches and a large-screen TV which has Spectrum cable and the home now has WiFi. Enjoy the oceanview while eating at the large dining table. The house will comfortably hold 6 people. We have 2 bedrooms: each with a queen bed and a twin. We also have 2 twin roll-away beds in storage closets in the living room. The kitchen has been newly remodeled with a DISHWASHER, garbage disposal and real vent/fan over the stove! The house also has a laundry room with washer & dryer. The deck wraps around the front of the house, side and half the back. There is a Weber kettle BBQ. Restrictions are no smoking, no pets. Rockaway Beach is a quick drive from Portland and a quiet town with ice cream & candy shops, restaurants, antique shops and a lake nearby to take your family trout fishing.

We had the most wonderful and relaxing vacation this past week! Thank you for providing a clean, cozy, and welcoming home for our stay! We watched the sunset from the front window each evening and took advantage of the easy beach access to either side of the house! The home was well stocked and had all we needed! Thanks again for a great time and we hope to stay again next Summer!

The property is in a fantastic location. The beach is accessible in either direction. The house has a nice activity/game closet for kids and they also provided cable TV. All of the best spots in Rockaway Beach are walkable from this location as well. The kitchen was outfitted nicely and the washer/dryer worked well. Overall we had a great stay and would love to stay there again.

This place was so perfect for us! Great location, excellent communication and info from property owner, and so comfortable! The house was so equipped with everything we could have needed that it got to be a joke "I bet they have toothpicks, scissors, griddle, etc. "! Everything was very clean (bedding, couches, floors). Cannot say good enough about this place, we loved our stay!

Great Spot

The house was clean, beds were comfortable. Instructions for key and WiFi instructions were easy to follow. There were fun games and puzzles, even a step stool for our 4 year old! It was within walking distance to the beach and to town. Would definitely stay again.

Rockaway Beach Dream

Another great stay at Teresa’s beach house - my 8th I believe. She got a new fridge since last years stay and it works great. As usual, everything about the rental is exactly as described on line. Took Teresa’s advice and had lunch one day at Riverside Fish & Chips in Nehalem - really good stuff. And if you like smoked fish, check out Neahkahnie Smokehouse in Wheeler. Fabulous stuff including smoked Black Cod.

Thanks, Connie! Yes, being able to cross the street and be right on the sand and next to the Pacific ocean is a plus! I bet you had great weather too! August and September are usually good weather months at the Oregon coast. I hope you will consider another getaway at our beach house!
