Our trip was spectacular! The weather was great, the house was as advertised, and the host was accommodating and communicative. We would love to make this a recurring trip for our family!
This is our second time here. Love the home vibe, plenty of room and love the fenced backyard for our dogs. Love the short walk to the beach. Definitely returning
Cute bungalow in Rockaway Beach. House is a little quirky and a little retrograde. The stairs to the loft, bedroom 3, are very steep. Luckily, we did not need that space. Beds are very comfortable. The fenced back yard was great for dogs. The house was very well stocked with towels, toilet paper, shampoo, laundry soap, coffee and filters, etc.Beach access was directly across the street from the property, perhaps a 3- minute walk. The property owner was very responsive to a request for help with the TV.If you want a place that will accommodate your dog, and want easy beach access, this is a great property.
Cute house that had everything we needed. The big fenced backyard was a huge bonus for us with our dog. Outdoor hot tub and multiple close in access points to the beach were fabulous.
Small and comfortable house in excellent location. Comfortable beds. Very workable kitchen. Bring baking pans you might need because itâs not fully stocked. Glad we stayed and would love to come back.
Cute beach cottage connected to the beach by an easy pathway. Hot tub was delightful. Thoughtfully updated (heated towel bar in the bathroom!). Comfy beds. We had a great time and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
The place has all the charm and quirks of an old cottage, but itâs very well maintained and set up! Our 10yo loved sleeping in the attic space. We didnât let the 6yo sleep up there because of the steepness of the stairs, but he was comfy in one of the other bedrooms. The internet is very fast. Backyard and hot tub are perfect. One of my favorite VRBO stays!
We WOULD stay here again. The house has so many personal touches and it feels like your home away from home. Hot tub, fire pit, VERY close to ocean, comfy beds and pillows. Washer, dryer, kitchen supplies, etc. WiFi, huge TV. The house is not on a main traveled road, so it's quiet. Nice walk into town and also to easy boardwalk hiking trail that leads to an astonishingly HUGE cedar tree!
We were very impressed with the house overall. Beds were extremely comfortable and the property was spacious. My only negative would be the quality of the cookware. The frying pans were unusable due to teflon peeling away and rough on pan surface. Otherwise the house had everything we wanted.
We have stayed in several vacation properties. This was not our favorite. The only thing positive about this spot was the location and the short walk to the beach.
Property is well equipped and the location is excellent. We loved the hot tub and the fenced backyard for our dog. However, the mom in me couldn't get past the layer of dirt and grime everywhere. I'm not sure if its because it's early in the season, but the house needs a deep cleaning! I would give the property a second chance because of all the other positives and easy beach access.
The home is located walking distance from the beach in a quiet and lovely neighborhood.
Comfortable fit four adults and have extra sleeping space in the attic area.
The beds were very comfortable. The rooms are away from each other, giving privacy without disturbing each other.
The home is nicely remodeled. The living room furniture shows some stain and wares.
If you are traveling with eight adults/ persons the place is OK, keeping in mind there is only one bathroom!
For how much itâs cost, maybe a bit more then what itâs worth, but heasy access to the beautiful beach couldnât be nicer.
First, the house had no heat in the common areas of the house. The heating unit clearly showed an error, we looked it up and the compress was out - like, thanks for the heads up so we could have packed accordingly or canceled in advance. Thank goodness for 3 space heaters from the 30âs otherwise we might not have survived. The house was dirty, smelt musty and everything needed to be cleaned before use, yes - even the dishes. There were potatoes in the cupboard with the pots and pans that were so old and rotten they were growing horns and likely letting off unhealthy toxins. The pillows on the couch smelt so bad we were forced to wash them and when we did, letâs just say the colors were two shades brighter. There was so much more but I feel bad enough already. The only good thing, the beds seemed clean and were comfortable. If we hadnât driven 2.5 hours we would have demanded our money back but we had no where else to go so we made the best of it.
Our family stayed 4 nights and did enjoy our stay. Communication with the owner was always fast and he seemed friendly and even allowed us to check in a couple hours early. Super helpful when traveling with small children. The location was fantastic and such a beautiful and easy walk down to the water. Even though the sq footage was small the use of space and the overall feel of the house seem much larger which was very nice. The new kitchen table in the dining room was much enjoyed with our family of five. Having on site full capacity washer and dryer was truly a lifesaver! The huge TV in the living room was perfect for night time movies (only after figuring out how to turn the thing on for of course) lots and lots of blankets we sure did appreciate this as we were short of space in our SUV so not having to haul a bunch of our own was helpful. However cleanliness and some TLC to the home and backyard was disappointing! I will give the owner the benefit of the doubt that most likely he doesnât even understand that this is going on and is in the responsibility of his cleaning company. Please find a new one your cute little home deserves better. To list a few examples but not limited to: Underneath both beds in the home we found thick dog hair and dirt clearly that was accumulated over weeks and weeks of not being touched. My youngest son found a empty bottle of soda underneath the spare bedroom bed. The entertainment center in tv area was literally caked with dust and I mean caked. The hot tub had sand on the bottom before we even had a chance to get in. (most rentals that we have been to actually changes the water with each guest) The sofa desperately needs a deep shampoo and had a musky smell to it. A few doors had locks that either were difficult to use or didnât work at all. The backyard need some serious TLC with overgrown side area grass/ shrubbery was taller than my two-year-old I was afraid I was going to lose him out in âthe jungleâ. Parts of the fence were made from cheap barbwire that was sharp on his hands if he was to run up and touch it. I literally had to follow him around everywhere definitely not kid friendly. With all this said the positive communication and the home over all being in a great location with a fair price our family would consider staying here again as long as it was a different cleaning company for sure. Thank you for the stay and great memories are family made.
I've got 4 rentals in Rockaway but this is my favorite. I live in Portland, went to University of Oregon and love everything Oregon has to offer including but not limited to biking both road and Mountain, Yoga, Tennis, raising my two kids and enjoying life.
I came upon this property on a 10 PM walk with my kids. One of my other houses is on Minnehaha and we usually take that path to the beach. We saw this entrance a bit farther down and popped out on Stark Street where the house was for sale. We peeked through the windows and I made an offer before I had ever stepped inside. It had good bones but my Friends and Family came and helped me re-model it to get it to the nice condition that it is currently in. I love being this close to the beach so I don't have to put my shoes on to go to the beach. The yard is giant and super close and the living room is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen turned out awesome.
