Beach Whale - Rockaway Beach, OR

If you're looking for an oceanfront, dog-friendly home with amazing views and space for up to seven guests, look no further than this wonderful Rockaway Beach vacation rental! When you stay here you will be just steps from the beach, and you will enjoy a home that has plenty of space and entertainment options for everyone.

Located a couple of miles north of Rockaway Beach proper, in the Nedonna Beach area of town, this home is perched right on a fantastic stretch of coastline. You can step off the patio and walk right out onto the beach, watch for whales from inside the living room, or explore Rockaway Beach itself without straying too far from this home.

Walk up several stairs to reach the front door, and step inside this home to find a bright and welcoming living space with plenty of sunshine streaming in through the ocean-facing windows. The living room has some cozy seating, a flatscreen TV, and the star of the show: huge picture windows that offer views of the beach and the sea. Entertainment options available throughout the home include WiFi access, cable TV, Blu-ray/DVD players, board games, and books, though you may be content to enjoy the gorgeous views.

This upper level also houses a full, open kitchen. Complete with double ovens, a large fridge, microwave, dishwasher, coffeemaker, and plenty of other tools and equipment, the chef in your group will have no trouble cooking up tasty meals here. A dining room table and a breakfast bar provide places for everyone to sit and enjoy a hot breakfast before heading out for a morning walk on the beach.

Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms, and there is one bedroom downstairs. The master bedroom features a king-size bed, a cozy sitting area by the windows, a flatscreen TV, and an attached bathroom with a walk-in shower and a marvelous jetted bathtub. Two more bedrooms will accommodate remaining guests, one with a king-size bed and the other with a queen. There's another full bathroom with a tub/shower combination accessible from the hallway.

Downstairs you will find a large play room that provides more entertainment options. There's a pool table, a stereo, a card table, seating, and even a set of weights. This would be a great way for teenagers to have their own space to hang out, or for an entire family to have a quiet room of their own to chat. A convenient bathroom is on this level, as well as a sleeper sofa and two armchairs that fold out into twin-size beds.

Altogether with the three bedrooms and additional sleeping options downstairs, this home has plenty of space for seven guests. While you're here you will also enjoy a laundry room, an outdoor patio area, a grill stored in the garage, and two adult bicycles that you're welcome to use.

Because you're so close to the beach, you will want to spend plenty of time strolling along the sand and enjoying the fresh sea air. Watch for whales during migration season, or enjoy a fabulous coastal sunset every evening. Right here in Rockaway Beach, you will find just about everything you may need, including great restaurants, a market, and some souvenir shops. If you want to drive into a larger town, take a 25-minute drive down the highway to Tillamook, which has an amazing and famous cheese factory, a variety of restaurants, and plenty of stores.

If the weather is nice, be sure to explore more of the beautiful Northern Coast! Just west from Tillamook is the Cape Meares State Park, which has hiking areas, jaw-dropping viewpoints, and a historic lighthouse. You could also go boating, fishing, or crabbing in the Tillamook Bay, or Nehalem Bay (just north of Rockaway Beach). If you do drive north, stop in at Oswald West State Park or Ecola State Park for more hiking, scenic viewpoints, and picnic areas. With so much to do in the area, you won't have trouble finding ways to stay busy!

Come stay at this oceanfront, dog-friendly Northern Oregon Coast vacation rental and enjoy a wonderful beach getaway with your loved ones!
