The place is brilliantly laid out for a comfortable gathering, tons of spaces for different activities. Really magically situated to the ocean and the twin rocks. Literally perfect. Wonderful, communicative host.
This is the perfect house for a family gathering. With direct access to the beach as well as vows from the bedrooms I highly recommend this property. In addition, Brian and Janet are great hosts, very responsive and even suggested local attractions. 5 stars are absolutely warranted here.
This home made for an amazing vacation. It was clean, cozy and perfectly located on the beach. The owners were wonderfully accommodating. I urge anyone looking at Rockaway to stay here.
Property was great location. Didn't know it was a duplex until final instructions. Ran out of TP on last morning. The yard was pretty and ocean view was fantastic. Easy walk to beach. Best weather ever this trip.
Janet the owner was great to work with The views are amazing from the property Great deck to have a meal with 9 family members. Had a long table with seating for 10Walking the beach was a true delight Had 2 kitchens 6 bedrooms Highly recommend this property
We stayed for a couple days and had a great stay. The twin rocks are beautiful and the beach is unpopulated compared to other regional towns. The kids loved the beach. Location couldnât get better! The house is older with small rooms and it gets warm on hot days without A/C.
While this property is old in age, It had all the amenities we wanted. It is actually a duplex, but it worked well for us. We loved the large deck and used it regularly for meals and table games. The landscaping is also nice and well cared for. While the kitchens were small and posed a bit of a challenge for our large group, they were updated and well equipped! Overall, a good value for a large place. We will likely re-book soon for next year!
Wow! We pulled up to a cozy beach house with lovely landscaping and flowers. The back deck has an amazing view of the ocean, the Twin Rocks, sunset and if you are up early enough you can watch the moon set. There was a hammock for relaxing and a large deck table for outside meals. There is an easy path to take to the beach. Most importantly, the house was very clean. Owners were responsive and easy to work with and check-in was simple. We would rent this property again.
We had 8 adults and one child 9years old. The house set up was perfect, we loved how you could walk to the beach from the house, and watch the sun set from the deck. It was a perfect location to see several other places also, if you dove 1 hr in either diction there were numerous this to do and see. Thank you
We loved this property so much! We had great communication from the owner, the check in was a piece of cake, and we had everything we needed. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
Perfect place for entire family to stay and enjoy their vacation. Property work out and had everything we needed. Great to be able to walk through the dune to the beach.
This was the perfect location for our small group of friends to spend the weekend. Kitchens were well stocked and common areas were very comfortable for hanging out. Beautiful view and a short path to the beach. We had a wonderful time.
We just loved our stay here! It is a fabulous home with an incredible view. Everything is so comfortable. Eating dinner on the deck was a favorite. Our family cannot wait to come back!
An added bonus is that the owners are so wonderful and helpful. I highly recommend staying here. You will never want to go anywhere else.
Brian and Janet were great communicators, the house had all we needed. Both kitchenâs are so well stocked. The deck was so much fun to sit out on with a perfect view of Twin Rocks! The yard is Beautiful and lots of parking! Appreciate getting to rent the house.
This is a family beach home and true to that title it is a family effort to continue to own it. My two brothers and I grew up in the Mt. Tabor area of Portland and attended Franklin High School. We all still reside in the area and each of us loves the beach. We still refer to it as Twin Rocks, even though it has been incorporated into Rockaway Beach. We visit as often as possible and now our children and their children also use the house as a place to get away.
When my two brothers and I were children we used to spend our summers visiting my grandparents at their beach cabin in what was then Twin Rocks. We used to play in the woods across the street. One year when we came the trees had all been cut down. Little did I know then that the house that was to be built would one day be a place where my children would create their own beach memories. When our father purchased the house he went out on a limb financially. The first time down after the sale I stood out front with him and he said, 'This is your inheritance. There won't be anything else.' Today, this house means the world to me and to each of our families. Through the years it has become a way to connect with family and friends. It is our sincerest hope that our renters will also be able to create lasting memories for their family.
You only need to walk in the front door and look out the window once to realize why we love this house. The view is unequal. It's like a movie set. The house sitting steps away from the beach. Being able to sit on a deck and watch waves pounding the sand and crashing against the two giant rocks just off shore. It is truly an amazing place.
