The pictures on the listing didn't do the property justice, the property was bigger than the pictures showed. Very short walk to the beach and everything. We never had to get in our cars. The kids loved the train ride! I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a casual family beach experience! ##### Karen P. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurye B. 30 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Escape to the Oregon Coast The house was wonderful. We loved the fact it was so close to the beach, it made the walk to see the sunsets a few minutes. It also is in the middle of town so we were able to walk to shops and restaurants. The house has a master bedroom downstairs and more upstairs along with another bathroom. We only used the downstairs so that is the focus of this review. The bedroom is cozy, what it might of lacked in size, it made up with the lovely fire feature on the wall and the feeling of being in a lovely cocoon. We spent 3 nights on a 12 night trip and it was my best sleep. The kitchen had everything we needed. We appreciated the coffee and bottle of wine. We enjoyed the living room. It rained while we were there so we used the TV and streaming services. We really liked just sitting on the couch and watching people walk by. The train station about a block away. It is a cool old train and it was fun to wave at the people from our porch. This might sound intrusive but it was actually fun and the train only runs a couple times a day. If we come back, we will ride it. It was just a wonderful stay in a lovely house in a beautiful part of the world. Thank you! ##### Laurye B.

My family with 3 generations aged 1-70 had a fantastic time at this beach house! My kids were thrilled with the assortment of toys and each rental since then hasn’t lived up to their expectations now as they are always wondering where all the fun stuff is! The beach access is phenomenal and you have all you need with shops nearby. Although you are in a busy area it’s never noisy. Beds are comfortable and the shower is hot! We would love to come back one day. Thanks for everything! ##### brienne w.

It was very well stocked with everything adults need and had a great selection of toys for the toddler with us. It was close enough to the beach that I could walk there even using a cane. It was close to the center of town and the old railroad. Sandra was very easy to work with and was responsive when contacted. The property was extacly what we needed and was perfect for us. The toddler who was with us cried when told we were going home, she wanted to stay at the “red house”. We will definitely stay there again. ##### Judy H.

We were working and had no trouble with the wifi. It is a super quick walk to the beach, a small grocery store, and multiple restaurants. You are literally in the heart of Rockaway.

We were so pleased with the location of this property. It was close enough that our 14 month old could walk to the beach with us, rather than being carried. In addition to the great location, the house was comfortable and well stocked. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into it. There were toys for the kids, beach supplies (towels, toys, bags), a pack n' play for little ones, extra dog leashes, dog bowls, and a fully fenced yard, and extra phone chargers for a variety of phones. The beds were comfortable and our son loved the "kids" room. We will stay here again on our next trip to Rockaway Beach! ##### Anna J. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019
