There's no end to the activities at your fingertips at this beautiful, waterfront townhome on the shores of Spring Lake in Rockaway Beach. Just outside your back door, you can sip your morning coffee with a view of the lake or go kayaking or fishing from the dock (with two kayaks and life jackets all provided for your use). In the other direction, you can walk a quick two blocks (about 100 steps or a three-minute stroll) to boogie board, build sandcastles, or catch a spectacular sunset on the open sands of Rockaway Beach.

This townhome enjoys a best-of-all-worlds location on the south side of Rockaway Beach, on the northern shore of Spring Lake, and in a setting overlooking the lake and the mountains that's ideal for birdwatching. When you head out to the beach, you'll even have Tommy Bahama beach chairs, sandcastle equipment, a skim board, and two boogie boards to take with you.

Inside, this two-level home is both cozy and open, offering views of the water through generous windows. There's a fully appointed kitchen with full-size stainless steel appliances, an adjacent dining room table, and a light-filled living room with a new 55-inch Smart TV and an electric fireplace to warm you. Enjoy a washer/dryer to refresh your swimsuits and beach towels at the end of the day, and sources of at-home entertainment that include board games, a selection of DVDs, free WiFi, and two additional new Smart TVs in the primary bedroom and the loft.

Amazing place!

We spent a couple days here and didn’t want to leave! The house was spacious, comfortable, and the games/books and beautiful view were an added bonus. We would definitely stay there again!

Relaxing weekend!

A great place for friends to reconnect and wind down after a long week! Enjoyed our morning coffee outside in the sun admiring the calm lake. Will definitely be back, hopefully for a longer stay. Looking forward to using the kayaks next time.

Great Stay

We had a great time staying here. The house was clean and they provided laundry soap and little bottles of shampoo/body wash which was nice. The neighborhood felt/looked very safe to us. The short walk to the beach was awesome as well.

quiet home close to the beach

we spent 14 days here and loved them all. It is a quiet complex with a beautiful view of the lake. Very close to the beach, though you do have to cross a busy highway. But most of the times it wasn't a big deal and sometimes people will stop for you. The house has lots of extras if you are traveling with a child which was fun for our son. He loved to ride bikes on the beach.

Awesome spot to get away

We were so impressed with this place! Perfect location; the lake is so beautiful and the immediate access to the dock for kayaking was ideal! (The kayaks were awesome.) First floor bedroom has a floor to ceiling sliding glass door to the most gorgeous view of the lake. The walk to the beach is short and so pleasant! And the portion of Rockaway Beach it leads to is just ideal: not crazy crowded, tonnns of beach, beautiful view of the stunning rocks! I walked there every morning. Everything was clean/smooth, and we really enjoyed having the kayaks, beach chairs, and beach toys! PCH is a little noisy but we didn’t notice it once we were inside or even in the back deck/on the lake. It also was easy to cross heading to the beach. We felt like we hit the jackpot on this place, you never know booking from just photos and a description; we were so so happy with it! Great place to rest and recharge as a family.

Best of both worlds -- lake and ocean time

The property was truly beautiful and we enjoyed our time there. The provided kayaks were a real highlight of our stay. Both bedrooms had beautiful views of the lake. Two notes for the property manager: - Something was wrong with the grill. The temperature did not get above ~350, which made cooking our food take a very long time - The area rugs seem due for a replacement as they were pretty worn and dirty

Perfect location for family visit

We rented this property for my daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandsons (7 and 11 yrs) so they'd be close - we live in property just across the street on the ocean side. Overall, the stay was positive. Just a few notes to be helpful - the garage is directly across the street from the property entrance. Was nice to have access to it. The garage door opener is screwed onto the front door frame. inside of course. A couple of TV remotes needed batteries - which does happen. We replaced them. There were several dead pill bugs (aka: rollie pollies) around the floor/room edges (they are completely harmless - but if you're 'buggy' just fyi). Easily swept up. We did have a few issues with the water heater - they did come right out the next day. The guy looked at the setting on the water (very difficult to get to behind the washer/dryer) & declared 'nothing wrong.' No testing was done i.e: running water, etc. or electrical checking of both the top and bottom burners of the heater - possible that one burner is out. No one reached out to us after that - even tho was suggested they would. The kids just staggered showers after that. This was just to be sure everyone got a comfortably warm shower - not a huge deal to organize, but a little frustrating when you're vacationing to think about. The bedding appeared to clean and fresh. Beds comfortable. The boys were thrilled with 'their area' upstairs. The check out procedure was easy and quick - which I really appreciated. The family really enjoyed the view of Spring Lake in the morning with breakfast - it was just beautiful and peaceful (and those words were from my 7 year old!) They noted that the condo is very quiet - road noise not an issue. A note on check in/check out -check out time is extremely early at 10am. Most places we've stayed use 11 am. We did receive a msg the day we were checking in that an 'early check in' was available without charge about noon. We were not able to take advantage of that as it arrived after we had left to pick the kids up at the airport. I would have prestocked fridge if we had been able to. Normal check in is after 4 pm - so that 10 am check out just feels too early. Just our opinion. Because this property is so convenient to our home, we would definitely consider purchasing another stay here and with our previous stay experience, I would expect it to be a smooth and comfortable stay.

Best of both worlds!

We had a delightful time at the house because of its amazing location of lake front livening with sweeping views and the ocean visas only blocks away. It was perfect for active teens to get out on their own and kayak, swim and beach lounge. It was an interesting scenic drive to Cannon beach for unique restaurants and shops but close enough to local shops to not need to go so far all the time. I was laid up from a leg break, so it worked perfectly for me in its cozy size and living room vistas as well as for my teens to get out and explore! We longed to stay there for more time next time!

Lucky Find

We were lucky to find this rental available for two nights mid-week on a much longer road trip with our two teens. All agreed we would have loved to stay longer! We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and quick walk to the beach, as well as proximity to many additional coastal gems. The house was perfect for our family of 4, giving everyone a little space to call their own but also gathering space as well.
