About this property

Steps to the beach from this cozy, updated home w/ an oceanview, WiFi, fireplace

Relax in our private vacation home! Our Rockaway Beach vacation rental has a partial ocean view and is just a few steps across the street to the sand! This house has been owned by our family for over 40 years. The ranch style house has been recently updated with a new kitchen, fresh carpet and paint, new sofa with recliners, and recently updated bath. The house is comfortable and well-maintained. We have a big living room with 2 couches and a large-screen TV which has Spectrum cable and the home now has WiFi. Enjoy the oceanview while eating at the large dining table. The house will comfortably hold 6 people. We have 2 bedrooms: each with a queen bed and a twin. We also have 2 twin roll-away beds in storage closets in the living room. The kitchen has been newly remodeled with a DISHWASHER, garbage disposal and real vent/fan over the stove! The house also has a laundry room with washer & dryer. The deck wraps around the front of the house, side and half the back. There is a Weber kettle BBQ. Restrictions are no smoking, no pets. Rockaway Beach is a quick drive from Portland and a quiet town with ice cream & candy shops, restaurants, antique shops and a lake nearby to take your family trout fishing.

Great little place
This is a great location and excellent value. The bed I slept in was very comfortable which is the biggest thing for me. There is only one bathroom as listed which was okay for 4 people but if there would have been 6 would have been more challenging. Adding a 1/2 bath somewhere to this place would make it phenomenal!

Great place for small family
This is the 6th or 7th time I've rented the McGuire house. Keep returning because this house is very affordable, always clean, walking distance to the beach and town, well-stocked, and Rockaway is a great location for daytrips north or south. Astoria, Seaside, Cannon Beach, Tillamook, Lincoln City all an hour or less drive.

Great Cozy Spot!
The kitchen was well stocked and provided a nice spot to make many meals. The cabin has been updated and provided a nice getaway for my family. Loved the couches and large dining table. The closet full of kid toys was great entertainment for my kids!

Great family friendly Spot
The home was super clean upon arrival, a lovely thing to walk into. Access to the beach is wonderful. You know it's family friendly when they have stools for the littles to use in the bathroom! Our kids loved the game closet. We had a lovely stay and will likely do it again!

Everything you need.
A perfect little place conveniently tucked into the hillside just across from the beach. You can hear the sounds of the ocean day and night, and in a matter of moments be right on the beach. The home is clean and comfortable, all the little extras, wifi for the teens, lincoln logs and sand toys for the younger ones. A great place to stay when you want to escape to the beach.

Nice Last-Minute Getaway!
Very nice place in a nice location. Centrally located so that we could just walk to most everything in town and just a very short walk to the beach. It was conveniently located to everything we would need yet somehow still felt like a private getaway - I think because of the way it's situated on the street, up a little above the road. House was cozy and nicely appointed. Would definitely recommend!
