About this apartment rental
NOTE:***Children 13 years of age and older are allowed***
By The Sea Is a newly remolded and beautiful oceanfront two-bedroom, two-bath condo located on the first floor of the "C" building at the Rainbow Rock Condos located just north of Brookings. The unit is the center of three units and can be accessed without using stairs on either the right or left side of the building. I usually recommend to guests needing to use the flat walkway to park on the right side of the building where there are nice large parking spots.
By The Sea has breathtaking views of the ocean from the living room, dining room, kitchen, and patio outside. Relax watching the waves crashing below, and boats going by. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for a whale! The unit is well stocked, very comfortable, and inviting with "By The Sea" decor. The unit is NOT equipped with A/C due to the fact that it rarely gets hot on the ocean bluff which is located in a banana belt and there is usually a really nice ocean breeze that keeps temperatures cooler. There are ceiling fans in both bedrooms and the unit does have an extra-large slider door that leads to the closed-in patio and windows that open in both bedrooms. There is an electric fireplace in the living room which provides a nice ambiance and there is also central heat.
The gated condo complex sits on a bluff overlooking the ocean. There is a private nature trail with lovely bushes, trees, plants, and flowers from the complex to the secluded beach below where you will find a small cave, rock cliffs with amazing colors, and plenty of tide pools to explore. If the trail is a little challenging for some, Harris Beach State Park is just south of the condos and they have nice large concrete walkways down to the beach. There is also Lone Ranch Beach just north of the condos that has easy access as well which is about a three or four-minute walk from the parking lot.
Inside the unit, there is a binder with information that you will need along with recommendations for other places you might want to check out in the area as well as restaurants to enjoy along with the types of food and seating arrangements they offer.
By The Sea is managed by a local property manager, Valerie, who has been working with vacation rentals since 2014. Valerie is dedicated to making sure that your check-in and stay run smoothly. After booking, she will call you to go over some information, let you know what to expect, provide you with contact information, and answer any questions you may have. Vacations are a time to create lasting memories and it is our goal to help make them wonderful!

Beautiful condo and spectacular open view. Valerie is a fantastic host. Basking in our good memories

Lovely spot- very clean, comfortable and easy to settle in for a few days of exploring the Redwoods and the coast. The condo has everything a cook needs and beautiful views to go along with it! Highly recommend this condo!

The property was perfect for our needs. The view was lovely. It was near town but not directly in town. It was a very convienient location as our homeport for our adventures along the coast. It was supplied with everything we needed but a griddle which we could have used. We enjoyed our stay tremendously.

Our stay at By the sea was wonderful. Valerie was very communicative and eager to please. The condo was immaculately clean. I greatly appreciated that. Everything you could possibly need was readily available. The trail going to the beach was slightly challenging at times but well worth the trip down. We are very pleased with the condo and had great weather. Thank you, Valerie for being so accommodating.

There are truly no words to express how amazing our stay was. Everything was perfect and the view was beyond any adjective I can think of. If you’re looking for beauty, relaxation and peace, this is a must! Valerie was incredible, the condo exactly as shown/described and worth every penny. A true treasure and our time will forever be cherished. Book now, you will be so glad you did!!

This condo was beautiful and even had a private walk down to the beach. Valerie was great prior to check in and very communicative. No issues upon arrival, super clean condo with updated bathrooms and appliances (even had a coffee grinder for whole bean coffee). Private walking path to the beach with sunset views. Hoping to return for an anniversary trip one day!

This was one of the best places we have stayed at on the Oregon coast. We go to the coast alot. The place was clean, well stocked and a great place to relax. We will be back.

The view was fabulous and the condo was clean and well appointed. There is a trail to the beach and the tide pooling there is excellent when the tide is low. There is also a sandy section for walking.

The location was beautiful. Harbor seals out front every day! This is the best equipped condo I’ve stayed in and very updated. The property manager, Valerie, was outstanding! Very friendly, responsive and all in all, a joy to work with. Called us saying her housekeeper found something important my sister had misplaced and went out of the way to return it to her. Thanks so much!,,

This was an exceptional property that offered everything one could ask for. Beautifully appointed, great beds and linens, a kitchen to satisfy most any discerning cook, 180 degree view of the ocean, and very quiet. Valerie was always on point and efficient. This was akin to an upscale hotel in that it had no personal items. We will be back.

This was a favorite VRBO stay for us. We were traveling with my parents, who recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in Brookings, and all four of us loved every minute.
The property owners and Valerie, the property manager, were accommodating and so helpful as we navigated a fantastic stay at the home. This property is spotlessly clean, practically appointed and beautifully decorated. The view of the ocean from and natural lighting in the kitchen, dining and living room were fantastic, private and unobstructed. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, plus some (even had great knives, which we rarely experience). The property has trails leaving from the property to a private beach and to the Oregon Coast Trail (leaving from the pet area). The property is quiet and serene. Parking was easy (a nice long garage) and there were parking spaces to the right side of the unit that allow a flat transition from parking to front door.
In summary, this was a wonderful experience; especially for my parents who love Brookings and miss gazing out into the Pacific Ocean. We hope to return soon.

My mom and I stayed at this breathtaking condo for 8 nights! This is the cleanest and most stocked condo we’ve ever stayed in! The view was something out of a magazine! Mom doesn’t do stairs and were thrilled that this unit had a walk-in option!
We loved that Valarie the property manager called us well ahead of time to discuss our stay. We were able to ask her questions and it made us feel at ease.
We would highly recommend this condo for family couples or anyone wanting to completely relax.
Thank you very much for sharing your condo with us! We loved every minute!!!

Ocean Breeze Oasis
Wonderful location just outside Brookings, OR. The veranda was perfect to sit out at in the morning for coffee and watch the ocean. Be sure to bring your binoculars so you can see all the fishing boats going by!
Brookings is a fairly cool coastal town, so while this condo doesn't have AC that isn't anything to worry about. Brookings doesn't have too many scorching hot days where you need it. If it does get a bit too warm, open up the sliding door off the dining room and enjoy the ocean breeze!
Valerie that property manager was amazing! Great communication while trying to book the property, before our reservation to make sure we had everything we needed, and while we were there. We couldn't figure out the fireplace when we first got there and Valerie was able to help get it sorted out very quickly!
The kitchen is FULLY stocked! While Brookings has wonderful restaurants to enjoy, if you're feeling more like staying in and cooking this kitchen has it all! It had everything we needed to prepare multiple meals and items I never would have thought to find at in a vacation rental kitchen. Truly a stocked kitchen!
Having the washer and dryer in unit with detergent and dryer sheets was very helpful! We were there for almost a week. We went on a Jet Boat tour just north of Brookings in Gold Beach and got way more soaked than we thought we would! It helpful to be able to do a load of laundry half way through our trip.
While going to the coast there is plenty to do out and about, if you are looking to wind down, stay in and watch a bit of TV be aware that the owners have many DVR Recordings set up that might hinder this. While the condo has 3 TVs, around 5pm every day the owners have so many DVR Recordings set that all TVs are recording something and you can't choose to watch anything you want, just what is recording or what they have on the DVR.
All in all this is a fantastic rental and we would love to stay here again!

Spent a lot of time in awe…. The ocean views, the changing weather, the redwoods, the elk, the wild rivers. I hope we will be back soon!

Stunning views!
This place is amazing! It is immaculate and well-appointed. It is newly remodeled and is very inviting. There are two rocker-recliners in front of a huge picture window looking out over the balcony and ocean. There is a huge flat panel TV on the wall and a sofa with electric controls for reclining. There is a fireplace . The bedrooms have soft, luxurious carpeting, which I love, the rest of the place has laminate flooring. One thing for people to note: there are three levels to this condo complex. I chose this unit because it was on the ground floor. I am 63 years old with a bad back and I didn’t want to climb stairs. Be aware that even the ground level has six stairs to go down to the units. They aren’t steep but people should know about it if they have mobility issues. Otherwise it was perfect! The property manager stayed in touch thru text even though she was very sick. That’s what I call dedication!! Great place, great stay.

By the Sea was clean, perfectly stocked, up dated and the views were wonderful. Not the ideal location if you want to spend a lot of time on the beach, but wonderful views.

Peaceful Retreat
This property is everything you see in the pictures/written and much more. If you like to get away to somewhere quiet this is your place. We both have high stress responsible jobs and I never unwind but was able to do it here. The west walls are all windows and a slider that all you see is ocean and more ocean., gorgeous! The kitchen is deep cleaned and well stocked with above average small wares. We will be staying here again, so glad we found you.

Total relaxation
We enjoyed every single minute of our stay. Since we can not think of anything more enjoyable and relaxing than sitting in a comfy chair watching the ocean crashing against the rocks, this was the perfect place for us. Everything greeted us as advertised. The place was very clean and we found everything we needed. The cutlery, dishes, pots and pans, were sufficient for me to prepare every single meal we had during our stay 'at home'. How nice to have pots that are NOT scratched and the non stick coating still intact. The electric fireplace, the mood light, and the reclining couch made even the hours where it was too dark to see the ocean so enjoyable.
We have nothing to complain about and we are really picky traveller.
We will be back as soon as it is possible.

A wonderful experience ! From Valerie the Property Manager to the condo itself this was seamless . The Property Manager spent time prior to arrival with us on the phone explaining all details necessary . The condo was immaculate - spotlessly clean with all utensiles needed . And the view !!! A stunning condo which we did not want to leave and would like to go back to in the immediate future .Thank you to all .

The condo exceeded our expectations ... so often the pictures are better than the actual place. The view was magnificent , the condo was clean, updated and beautifully decorated. The condo complex was beautifully kept and Dan, the maintenance supervisor, was friendly, helpful and full of good advice. There is a path that leads to a private beach with a cave. Loved Brookings and will definitely be back.

Amazing!
I read the reviews so I knew this was going to be a gem. I have not only stayed in a lot of properties in Brookings but I've stayed in several in Rainbow Rock. This property will surpass your expectations! Everything in it has been upgraded. It is also one of the cleanest properties I have ever visited. We enjoyed a wonderful visit and I hope to come again!
