The Blue Rose Cottage is an oceanfront single-family house located at the mouth of Netarts Bay and Hodgdon Creek, near Oceanside and Tillamook, Oregon. The cottage overlooks the Pacific Ocean, Netarts Bay, and the Oregon Islands Wildlife Refuge. The Blue Rose is a spacious one bedroom cottage on a bluff over the beach - with lots of windows and spectacular views. You can walk from the cottage directly to the ocean beach on our private path, or lounge on our deck, which overlooks the Pacific.

The cottage has a queen size bed in a separate bedroom, and a queen size fold out couch in the living room with a very comfortable coil spring mattress, plus a smaller fold out couch and 2 sleeping pads that young children often enjoy sleeping on.

The area features some excellent restaurants, lots of wildlife, state parks, and many other different types of activities. Seals nest on sandbars offshore from the cottage, Great Blue Heron fish in the waters off our beach, Pelicans sail in the sky, and in the summer wild roses and lilies bloom in the yards. The area is known for Dungeness crabbing, fresh clams and oysters, fishing and whale watching, and is part of the Three Capes Scenic Route.

Netarts is a quiet, non-touristy village of a few hundred people. It's one of the closest beaches to Portland, Oregon (75 miles, or a 90 minute drive). There is a small grocery store a short walk from the cottage. Major services are available eight miles away in Tillamook.

We allow pets, with permission and with payment of a wear-n-tear fee. The local beaches are "pet friendly" and are almost never crowded.

Once you book we provide you with a 15 page Area Guide that discusses:
o the best restaurants,
o where to buy the freshest seafood,
o beautiful drives, including the Three Capes Scenic Route,
o the best beaches and the best beach walks,
o tidepools, hidden beaches and the caves at Oceanside,
o the lighthouse, the octopus tree and the rain forest,
o the Oregon Islands Wildlife Refuge,
o the Pioneer, Quilting and Air museums,
o the Tillamook Cheese Factory,
o Lex's Cool Stuff and other interesting area stores,
o the railroad,
o fishing, clamming, crabbing and fresh oysters,
o our harbor seals, deer, elk, birds,
o hiking, biking, surfing, kayaking, hang gliding,
o whale watching,
o agates,
o local breweries,
o local stores and local services,
o local history and
o a variety of other area attractions.

Please inquire if you have questions. We look forward to telling you about the Three Capes Scenic Route.

Blue ocean house
The place is in a special little spot right above the bay. But I had a very challenging time getting in. There are two lockboxes and I did not know that. I went to the wrong lockbox trying to get in in the pouring rain at 8 o’clock at night. Finally, I got a hold of the owner. But it was too late by then I had to end up staying at a hotel that night and I had to Pay for it. The property smells a little bit like dead mice or maybe old riding wood. It’s pleasant enough it could be cleaner and some areas.. it’s very old. If you don’t like Old, don’t stay there. But once I got settled, listening to the sound of the ocean by opening, some of the windows with the wind blowing was absolutely spectacular. The place is pretty cold. If you are not comfortable with that, bring your own heaters or don’t stay there..

Christmas week with family
Great location and beach access, nice views of ocean from inside and the deck, walking distance to a grocery store which also serves ice cream. Furniture was comfortable. Our overall stay was really enjoyable. Two issues however; 1. the toilet was clogged when we arrived and I had to use plunger several times-thankfully that worked. 2. there is NO OVEN. Just a stovetop, microwave and a small countertop multi toaster convection appliance. We were all set for cooking a 7-lb rib roast for our xmas day dinner. Fortunately, the BBQ was large enough with full propane and I was able to cook the prime rib outside and heat things in the microwave. Kitchen utensils were sparse but we made it work for the four of us. Even though there is NO OVEN, I would stay again, but probably during the summertime, when weather is more conducive to outdoor cooking.

Netarts was the perfect location!
This was the perfect location for our week long stay. We were on the ocean with great views, close to Tillamook, not far from Haystack Rock and adventures north along the coast. The cottage was very clean. We appreciated the Keurig coffee maker and the coffee press. The walk/steps down to the beach was quite doable. The views from the living area and deck were great. The lighting in the bedroom was very dim and made it a challenge to find clothes/shoes. The bathroom is small with a tiny shower and a drizzle of water at the bathroom sink. With the telescope, we were able to watch wildlife and people out crabbing and clamming. Beautiful sunsets.

Stunning view in Netarts
This was a fabulous location with an amazing view of Netarts bay. The private stairs down to the beach were great, but for those with mobility issues or old dogs it it steep, with a lot of stairs. The house is rustic, but charming. Hummingbirds visited the flowers outside the living room window every day. Spotting scope available to watch the pelicans fishing and the seals. There was a musty smell in the bedroom, but that's not surprising as its carpeted and has the washer/dryer in the closet.We lit candles and had windows open most of the stay. Parking for 2 vehicles. Area was quiet during our stay. No dishwasher, no scrub brush or dish cloth for cleaning dishes. Many of the dishes in the cupboards were poorly washed before being replaced. Shower stall is small, wouldn't suit a larger person. Plenty of hot water. Living space is open but cozy, with comfortable furniture. I'd happily return to this property in future.

All We Expected..., and More
Excellent location! The cottage has all that is needed for a short stay. My wife and I would definitely tell other about the Blue Rose Cottage. A friendly suggestion: When sending driving directions to the cottage, a sentence like the one below could be added. "2nd street turns into 3rd street." or "2nd street becomes 3rd street." Thank you so much, Mr. Coates. We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Rose Cottage.

Lovely beach front home
We have loved staying at this property and the one next door for the last few years. Beautiful views and a private walkway down to the beach. I would recommend either home for families wanting to adventure in the bay (long walks on the sand, crabbing etc). Thanks for sharing your home with us as we were able to create memories that we will remember for years to come.

Summer escape
We enjoyed our stay . The views were spectacular. The stairs down to the beach were like walking through a secret fairy path. There was a local grocery within walking distance that had a little bit of everything. I would recommend stopping in Tillamook for most of your grocery needs. The bed was comfortable. There were no shades on a couple of the windows which made it very warm in the afternoon.

Cute, comfortable cottage.
We enjoyed our stay here. Celebrating our 40th anniversay and visiting this area for the first time, this was conveniently located to be able to see and do all we had planned. The cottage was comfortable, well stocked with all we needed. Following the owners suggestions, we did the 3 Cape loop, and had dinners at Schooners and Rosanna's. Very relaxing weekend. Thanks!

We had a wonderful time! The cottage was just the perfect size for us and our 2 kids. They slept on the pull-out couch. Everything was clean. We LOVED the short walk down to the beach. Clammed from the beach directly in front of the house and we just had the best time. Can't wait to come back. Thanks!

Cozy caib, amazing views -- a wood stove would be nice
A very cozy, well-equipped cabin in a perfect location in Netarts, at the end of a quiet street right above the water, with sweeping ocean views from the deck. The owner was extremely prompt and helpful in his communications, and even offered us early check-in without an extra fee. The only thing we really missed was a wood stove! The power was out when we arrived due to a winter storm in the area, and we were without heat or light for over 12 hours. Needless to say, a wood stove would have helped a lot. Other than that, we have a wonderful stay!

The house was very clean - the view amazing. We will definitely revisit this place in the future. Only suggestions I can make is I wish they would get a screen door for the patio so it could be open and not let in flies. The shower was a bit tight for me at 6'0. But the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The sofas are starting to show their age but still good - wish there was an ottoman.

Very clean
The cabin was as clean as you can get for an older cabin. And it's great that it allows pets, but unfortunately it's not really pet friendly, on a cliff with steep steps to the shore, and no lawn. The view is very nice. Cupboards need repairs. Typically the pots and pans are very worn, which is true for most rentals. Very nice dishes. Everything needed is there. Nice furniture and comfortable bed. Good for a young couple without kids or pets. Check in is 3:00 but cleaner was still there until after 4:00, due to previous messy renters. She did a great job!

Why they chose this property

One of the best views on the Three Capes Scenic Route, in an area of Oregon that is rich with history, ecologically largely unspoiled, full of wildlife, quiet, non-touristy and friendly.

What makes this property unique

A great place to relax, watch the birds and the crabbers, harvest fresh seafood and experience the drama of the Pacific Ocean. Prime spot for whale-watching during migration season. Wonderful warm place to experience the drama of winter storms over the Pacific. One of the best views on the Oregon Coast, in the beautiful Three Capes Scenic Route area.
