Overall the property was great. The ocean view was incredible! While we didn't cook in the condo the kitchen was very well stocked and everything in the condo worked as needed. Two suggestions but neither of these distracted from the condo being a great place to stay. The pictures on line of the condo gives the impression you have access to both a downstairs and upstairs deck, but there is only the downstairs deck available in unit #1. Second is maybe a ceiling fan in the bedroom would be good. Thanks for a great stay, and the Oregon coast is absolutely beautiful.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm so glad the view stood out and that you found everything you needed in the condo for a smooth stay. We appreciate the note about the photos and deck access — we'll update the listing to clearly show that this unit has only the lower deck. And I’ll absolutely pass your suggestion to add a ceiling fan along to our maintenance team for consideration. Thanks again for the helpful feedback and for choosing to stay with us.

Travelers beware!! Bedroom is upstairs and the only bathroom is downstairs …Not a good choice for anyone who has to go in the bathroom in the middle of the night! Also beds were very thin and soft…, not comfortable at all… the pull out sofa sags in the middle … if you believe a mattress should be relatively flat … not a place for you …great view… nice service… clean

Chose this property due to the location right on the beach, the view, and covered porch which did not disappoint! Communication with host was good and check-in/out processes were smooth and straightforward. Condo is the perfect size for 1-2 people with well-stocked kitchen items. There is some mild staging in the photos of the listing (Deck furniture, bedding, bathroom), but still an comfortable space as advertised. Enjoyed my stay and would choose to rent again in a heartbeat!

The location was amazing. The view and access the beach were the big draw for us. We had issues with cleanliness when we arrived and the internet/wifi didn’t work for the length of our stay. Management offered to out in a maintenance request, but we ended up declining the offer since it would have happened while we were in the room and/or napping.

Lovely and right on the beach!

We had a wonderful time at this property. Centrally located to town and nicely appointed condo. Clean and quiet. Be aware that the bedroom is up a very skinny set of stairs and is very small- basically just room for the bed and no bathroom upstairs. That being said we loved being able to sit on the sofa and watch the waves. Would definitely recommend for a couple.

Spent 2 nights to celebrate anniversary. The place was clean and comfortable. We kept the back door open when we were in the condo to hear the waves. There was an easy access to the beach one house over at the corner. The beach was beautiful. It wasn't very crowded when we went. I think we will be back. The town is small. We went to see the big tree and that was a nice easy boardwalk trail. If I had to say something bad, there is a sign in the condo saying Relax, you are on beach time. My relax is not waking up and leaving by 10 am.

The only note I would add is there is no bathroom on the second floor by the bedroom so you have to go downstairs. Fine for us but someone with mobility issues may want to consider. A+++

Great location. Condo was a little weirdly layed out and the furniture in the dining area was in disrepair. We didnt have any extra garbage bags in the unit so we called for more. They said they would be delivered but never were. Didn't seem like support was local.

Awesome little beach getaway

Overall I loved this little condo as it is right on the beach. There is nothing better than sitting on your deck, watching the sun set or listening to the waves roll in. Perfect! This was our first trip to the Oregon coast, and we picked Rockaway since it was central to the area we wanted to cover (Cannon Beach to Pacific City) and that worked out perfectly. My only negative was that the bedroom was very small. Too small to even fit our suitcase, but since it was just the two of us, that remained downstairs. Everything else was very nice and very clean. I would not hesitate to book this condo again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Rockaway Beach condo. Our main purpose was the ocean view and the beach which was steps from our deck, down a sandy dune to the beach. Perfect! Everything was very clean and neat. Our only disappointment was that the weather was cool and rainy (typical early October) but the fireplace was wood burning, which we had not noticed in the listing and the thought of looking for both wood and kindling so we could have a fire seemed like more effort than it was worth. I wish I had noticed that so we could have looked for those on our way to the condo. It mentions it in the listing, but I wanted to also point out the bathroom is downstairs, the bedroom upstairs so if you need to make nighttime trips to the bathroom, be aware of that. We brought our own food since there is a fully equipped kitchen, but bring your own seasoning and oil since the only thing there is salt, maybe pepper. There was also an electric car charger which we used for our plug-in hybrid so that was a plus. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and especially the wonderful access to the ocean beach!

Perfect Location

We loved the location: walking distance to shops and restaurants and right on the beach. The best part of this is opening the slider to the ocean. There is a trail from the deck, but it's a bit steep. Simply walking half a block gives you an easier way down. The place was cute and clean and we enjoyed it so much! Drawbacks: the bedroom is upstairs and the bathroom downstairs. The walls are quite thin if someone is staying above you. Make sure to bring your own games/books as there aren't any. There is no room for your clothes or belongings in the bedroom upstairs, so our suitcases stayed downstairs. In the rain, the cover over the deck does not provide protection: rain just pours through the slats. That said, we mostly had beautiful weather and the sunsets filled our souls!
