About this property

Oceanfront Beauty, Award Winner, Spectacular View with 7-mile Sandy Beach!

One of the best views on the Oregon Coast and over 100 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor!

PLEASE NOTE: The elevators are not in service and we have no timetable for bringing them back online. We cannot guarantee that the elevators will be working on any particular day, so it you require it, please look for another property. There will be no refunds due to the status of the elevator. Thank you.

The amazing view and beautiful interior of this award winning oceanfront condo in Rockaway Beach will take your breath away. A spectacular wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and a private deck take in glorious beach, ocean and mountain views.

Open and spacious with vaulted ceilings, Windows on the Sea is the 1225 sq. foot prime corner unit directly in front of the water with an unbroken view up and down our 7 mile long sandy beach. With front row seats to enjoy the ever-changing elements, there's nothing between you and the sea. Gorgeous in sunny weather, there's also no better place for storm-watching or relaxing with a good book or project in the winter.

Our small complex is tucked away at the quiet north end of Rockaway Beach. The modern curved building offers each unit complete privacy from neighbors, and with the stout concrete construction, it's virtually sound proof. Windows on the Sea is beautifully furnished in a modern style, and offers more thoughtful amenities than you've probably ever experienced in a rental. It features two bedrooms, both with quality king beds. Both have firm mattresses with pillow tops and 550 thread-count double-ply linens. We allow up to 5 people, but there are only two beds. There are 2 large couches (not pull-out) and extra linens in case you have someone who wants to sleep in the living room). Two luxurious marble and tile baths have glass-enclosed walk-in showers, plus a large soaking tub in the master bath. We are the only unit in this building with a water heater appropriately sized to both heat the space and sufficient water for the giant tub and all of your other water needs - the only unit with a 120-gallon tank! We also are the only unit with solar shades on some of the huge view windows for relief from the intense sun on exceptionally bright and hot days, and black-out shades in the bedrooms which face the rising sun in the morning. Cook and sip in a gourmet kitchen with all new stainless appliances while enjoying the view. Our kitchen is equipped for a cook, with virtually everything you might be reaching for. Bar stools line the kitchen island, and there's a round glass-top dining table next to the balcony windows, where we have a gas BBQ (available from mid-March through mid-October), cushy chairs and a small table. The condo includes a 55" Sony Smart TV with satellite (including HBO and Showtime) and Blu-ray/DVD player, along with free wi-fi so you can be as connected as you want to be. There's also a large library of CDs, DVDs and books for your enjoyment. The ground floor is the parking, giving the condos above elevated views.  Windows on the Sea is on the top floor with vaulted ceilings and long views all the way up and down Rockaway's amazing 7 mile sandy beach. You see the Nehalem Bay jetty to the north with Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain looming behind it, and Twin Rocks to the south. 

Windows on the Sea has its own private elevator** and a cart to help you easily bring your things up in one quick trip. There's also a stairway for those who prefer. Whether you're here simply for quiet time to breath in the restorative sea air, or to work, write, or play, this is a perfect flexible space for whatever you need. Be our guests and let the beautiful pacific inspire you. Come and discover the magical place that is Windows on the Sea.

** Our elevator has been the most reliable elevator in this complex, but it is on occasion down for service, so we cannot absolutely guarantee it for your stay. If you absolutely require an elevator, you should choose another property.

Wonderful in all aspects: superb views, well stocked kitchen, quiet, private, and very responsive host. The only potential issue for someone is the broken elevator situation. There are 24 stairs to get to this unit, so be aware of that if stairs are difficult for you.

The place was perfect in all regards from location, beach access, cleanliness and amenities. My wife said it was like Christmas morning every morning to wake up and see the ocean waves right out the window. Would definitely stay again.

Storm watch
This was our 2nd time staying at Windows on the Sea. We had hoped to storm watch but we enjoyed 3 days of beautiful sunshine! The condo is very comfortable, clean & the views are fabulous, lovely sunsets & the full moon was a bonus. The pictures are very accurate & it’s well equipped. Worth the effort of climbing the stairs. We will be planning a 3rd visit!

Girls Weekend
We had a great weekend celebrating one of our friends 60th birthday. It was a blustery weekend and we enjoyed the view of the ocean that the awesome wall of windows afforded. Loved being right on the beach. We also enjoyed cooking in the well appointed kitchen and the beds were so comfortable. The owner Denise was so easy to communicate with too!

Great stay at this condo! The best part was the proximity to the beach and the view. The condo is a lot larger than it appears in the pictures. The furniture and decor are a bit dated, but the comfort, layout, and well-appointed kitchen are wonderful! We would stay here again!

This truly is the nicest place we have ever stayed on the coast, bar none. It feels spacious and is beautifully decorated. The furnishings are comfortable and very good quality, dishes, cookware, and linens are all upscale. The pictures truly do not do justice to the actual experience when you first walk in. The view is exactly what a coastal view should be: unobstructed and right above the beach. The only “con” was the climb up the stairs since the elevator was out of service. Otherwise, it was perfect. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Richards

Host profile image
Hi there. I have loved the ocean deeply for all of my life, and when I had the surprising chance to buy a place there, I just had to make it work, no matter what. It has been a very rewarding experience to outfit, equip and decorate my place to provide a wonderful experience for my guests. That is my highest goal, and I do everything possible to make it so. From high-end but comfortable furnishings, beds, linens, etc. to a long list of nice amenities, to what's probably the best equipped rental kitchen out there, to constant upgrading, cleaning, painting etc. I have a hospitality background, and really enjoy interacting with guests, answering questions and being as helpful as I can.

Why they chose this property

The view, the view, the view! Plus the high ceilings, beautiful bathrooms, a cook's kitchen -- just a amazing space. It's nicely furnished - classy yet comfortable, and has a zillion amenities for your enjoyment. I still pinch myself when I walk in!

What makes this property unique

It's more amazing than the photos can show. Just wait until you walk in the door! Also, we keep adding things that guests ask for, or we just realize it might add a little more comfort, pleasure or convenience. Unique in this complex are our folding luggage cart, thoroughly equipped kitchen with high end cookware, etc., 120 gallon hot water tank, solar shades on the ocean side windows, and blackout shades in the bedrooms, beach gear, rain boots and extra jackets and sweaters, dog towels, bags and bowls, huge selection of spices, oils and other condiments, lots of DVD's, books, games, etc to keep you entertained when you aren't staring at the always changing sea.
