On a warm afternoon, slide open the glass doors to create an indoor/outdoor space that steps out onto the lower level balcony.
The living area can also be converted into a third sleeping space with a comfortable sofa bed and a fold down futon bed for an additional four guests.
Cook up all your favorites in the sun-soaked kitchen that comes fully equipped with everything you could need. There is a freestanding oven and cooktop, a built in microwave, a coffee maker, a fridge/freezer with a filtered water/ice dispenser and even a dishwasher to handle all the cleaning up.
Eat together at the dining table with seating for the whole group or if you don’t feel like cooking, walk just 5 minutes to Rockaways famous Sand Dollar Restaurant and The Old Oregon Smoke House.
There are two spacious bedrooms upstairs with a luxuriously large king bed in the master and a queen bed in the second bedroom. Both rooms feature their own sparkling ensuites as well as access to the upper balcony where you can sit and enjoy your coffee each morning listening to the sound of the waves.

Guest Access:
Guests have private access to the entire townhouse, free Wi-Fi, free garaged parking, complimentary coffee, a laundry nook with a washing machine and dryer, an upper and lower balcony as well as access to streaming apps on the large wall mounted TV.
The Neighborhood:
Located right in the heart of town and just steps to the beautiful seven-mile stretch of uninterrupted beach is this picture perfect townhouse. Here you will find restaurants, cafés, and grocery stores all within walking distance so you can leave the car behind and enjoy the easy convenience of this central location.
There are plenty of activities for the adventurous, hike up the nearby Neahkahnie Mountain, go clamming, crabbing or trout fishing, go whale watching or just enjoy the annual events like the kite festival and arts and crafts fair.
Visit the Cedar Wetlands Preserve, a great spot to hike and see some truly majestic trees. At Rockaway’s nature preserve, you can check out the Ascending Giant, a 154-foot wonder. This huge cedar has a viewing platform so you can step back, appreciate its enormity and snap a great photo.
Rockaway is best known for its beach which spans seven-miles of sand and surrounds the city with every inch of the beach open to the public. Explore numerous intertidal pools where you may see colored starfish varying from lavender to gold. Nearby, Kelly’s Brighton Marina offers crabbing and fishing galore.
Strolling through town is just as fun, with oodles of shops featuring traditional beach fare, ice cream, antiques and prized mementos. There are many delicious cafes and restaurants to delve into like Beach Bakeshop and Grumpy's Café for breakfast with an assortment of made-from-scratch pastries and breakfast entrees or the Offshore Grill and Coffee House for the best breakfast burritos.
For lunch or dinner, the Old Oregon Smokehouse (5 min walk) serves up fresh and fried entrees alongside some of the best seafood chowder on the coast. Rockaway Beach is also where the Pronto Pup was born – just look for the giant Pronto Pup for the famous hot dog on a stick. The Offshore Grill features fresh, local fish and produce, and the Sand Dollar (6 min walk) offers oceanfront dining – the perfect place to cap off an amazing Rockaway getaway.
Take a ride on the historic Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad for sites tucked away from the highway. The two-hour rail journey goes between Garibaldi and Rockaway Beach every day, stopping in Wheeler along the way. The train is a great way to see the region and enjoy not just Rockaway Beach but some of the surrounding areas as well.

Getting Around:
The best way to get around Rockaway is by car with garaged parking included with your stay as well as plenty of street parking by the unit.
With such a great central location, walking is ideal with great restaurants, cafes and the beautiful beach all just a short stroll away.
Other Things to Note:
The house is not managed by a large vacation rental company so you can expect a more personalized service when staying with us.
There is no ocean view is only from our unit, but we are located ~50 steps from the sand.
The home does not have air conditioning which is normal for this area as the climate stays cool.
There are 30 steps in total within the house, 15 steps from the entry to the first floor and then another 15 to the top floor. There are handrails provided to keep guests feeling safe and secure when climbing the stairs.
This property is dog friendly. We can't promise an allergy free environment as pets are commonly in the space.
There is a smart doorbell at the front door which has a video camera.
The unit has a garage that you can park in, but to open the garage you'll need to enter through the front door and then open it. There is ample free on street parking as well.
For winter guests: Please note that the gas fireplace pictured in the living room does not turn on. Its internal parts lost the battle with the salt air, it would cost a fortune to fix, and we were told it would just rust out again in a few years. It was only decorative, not heat producing, anyway. But know that the fireplace does not turn on.
Interaction with Guests:
We strive to make sure your time at the house is relaxing and enjoyable and are always available during your stay if there are any questions or for any recommendations on what to do and see in the area.

Great space. Room for everyone. Great kitchen. The location is awesome.
Parking is a nightmare for anyone with a car bigger than a thumbnail however. The batteries to the remotes were all dead, we had to go buy new ones. We enjoyed our time.

Loved the location to the beach. Literally steps away. All the items you need for the beach are included in this location. Restaurants, coffee, shopping within walking distance. All this made for the perfect beach getaway!

We had an amazing time. The upstairs and kitchen area was clean and spacious. Location was perfect - super close to the beach, food, and plenty of hikes. They have a ton of beach toys and chairs, ping pong table (although we couldn’t find the ping pong balls). Only downside is the train is right there -_- and your porch looks into the parking lot. Would stay again! Great for kids too.

I liked the house, close to the coast, one small minus, the road is nearby, a little noisy when the windows are open.
8.0 / 10.0
Pros: Easy location. Accommodations was clean and efficient. There is a garage so you can keep your car sheltered as long as it isn't a large SUV.
Cons: I knew that there were stairs, however did not anticipate that the kitchen-dining-living area was on the third floor. Thought that was odd, however it worked for the just a quick overnight stay.
If there was someone who may have slight disabilities, they wouldn't be aware until they arrived and realized that there were a lot of stairs to navigate through. My wife has a bad knee & going up and down the stairs proved to be a challenge for her. In addition, my daughter sprained her ankle just before this trip, so she also had difficulties traversing up and down the stairs. Older people or those with disabilities would find this place to be quite inconvenient just because of three floors of stairs. Otherwise the overall accommodations was cozy and clean.
6.0 / 10.0
Roomy but lots of stairs. The fireplace doesn’t work and we didn’t find that out until the check in email the day before. We booked it because it had a fireplace. So finding that out past the cancellation window was disappointing! The futon seems to be rickety so we didn’t sit on it. The deck chairs were kind of dirty. Other than that the location is great. Easy walking to the beach and the shops and restaurants.

Needs a new BBQ. Close to downtown.
10.0 / 10.0
This was my first VRBO experience and all went well. Property is exactly as described (including all the stairs!!) and can't beat the location. Several daily walks to the beach due to the closeness. Beach chairs and accessories in the garage were a plus!! Market, shops and restaurants across the street - parked my car in the garage, and it never left. Kitchen was extremely well stocked and cooking was easy. Communication was fast and reliable for this "newbie" and they were patient with me. :)
The only "down" side is the units are very close together, with no outside space other than the balconies, so you get to know your neighbors fast. However, there are so many balconies, that you can just move to a different one. Chairs on the Queen bedroom balcony would have been good, but we worked it out.

All the toys, games, water gear you could want on vacation at the beach. And did I mention they had a ping pong table?!? The best time for all our family!

Great place!
I rented this place to stay with my siblings and their kids. The kids loved the place and it was very kid friendly for them too. The access to the beach was perfect along with the availability of towels and sand toys for the smaller kids. It was perfect too for the adults! Ellen was great at communication when I had a question! Thank you for a great place to stay on vacation!

Wonderful Property
Very clean and pleasant property to stay in. the complex feels quite new and is very close to both the beach and the rest of the town.
We were happy with the accomodations and would gladly come back again.
Rockaway is a quiet little town. Definitely a touristy kind of place, but without the same crush of people you normally find with this kind of town.
A small note about parking. There isn't really a place to park right outside the property. There is a garage, so if you have a smaller vehicle, that is a good option. If you have a larger vehicle, you can park on the street (just a few yards away).

lovely stay...
Close to the beach and town. Photos and description are accurate- very nice. Kitchen is well stocked. Wood steps up to 2nd floor can be slippery in stocking feet, so hang onto the railing. We had a wonderful stay.

I would not stay again
I would not stay at this place again because of poor maintenance to the home, concerns over safety and hidden fees.
The upstairs bathroom toilet was not functional upon arrival causing us to have to walk down to the second floor every time we needed to use the restroom.
Irregular heating throughout the house causes the top floor to heat to a comfortable temperature, but then the second floor, where the bedrooms are located, was extremely cold.
The house is advertised as being pet friendly and pets need to be approved but it they do not disclose there it is an additional fee after a pet was approved. Hidden fees were also associated to using additional linens or the beach towels - a fact you find out only when you arrive at the house.
Smoke alarms should be regularly checked and the batteries should be changed as a safety precaution. The primary bedroom smoke alarm started chirping. We had to go to the local grocery store in the middle of the night to buy new batteries to stop the chirping so we could sleep. This is a serious safety concern that should not have been overlooked by the property owners.
Two out of the three lightbulbs in the second floor bathroom were not working.
The only positive elements of the place is that the beds are comfortable and the proximity to the beach.

Awesome Dog-Friendly Family Retreat!
This condo was the perfect place to bring our teen daughters for a family getaway. It is spotlessly clean and comfortable, with plenty of spaces to enjoy time together or apart. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking and has a great view of the city with a mountain forest backdrop. The dining room offered a lovely space for family dinner and board games. The beds are comfy to sleep on ~ and the bathrooms/showers are spacious and well stocked with TP. We LOVED the location of the condo, as it is just steps to the beach and a quick walk to all the shops and restaurants in Rockaway. Basically, we parked our car in the garage on day one & didn’t move it all week! Ellen (the host) is very responsive and kind ~ thank you, Ellen! We hope to visit again soon.

Perfect little spot!
I stayed here with my dogs for a little beach getaway and it was perfect! Although you couldn’t see the beach, it was maybe a two min walk to get to the beach!! The layout of the house was super comfortable! It was really nice to be able to park my car in the garage and I felt totally safe staying here alone. I definitely stay here again.

The location was fantastic and the unit was nice
I would definitely recommend staying here. The convience to the beach, shops, market, restaurants all within walking distance. Loved being able to park my car in the garage. The unit was super clean and had all we needed and the owner very responsive to any questions, like me learning the coffee maker. Lol. I have 3 girls (16,13,2) and my wife and I came to celebrate our anniversary. Absolutely well worth it.

Amazing Location!
Our group stayed here over the 4th of July weekend and this condo was perfect for us! We could watch the hustle and bustle of downtown Rockaway from the kitchen window, and loved listening to the steam engine arrive and depart with passengers. We brought our two dogs, and it was very convenient to take them on beach walks multiple times a day because the beach was so close! We also enjoyed the fireworks from the beach and laughed at how easy it was to just fold up our chairs and walk a few steps back to the condo while everyone else was fighting the crazy traffic. Great experience! We would definitely stay here again!
