About this property

Escape from it all at this 1 acre beachfront getaway

Make this a vacation to remember and immerse yourself in this tranquil grotto by the sea. Enjoy the sweeping, tree-edged lawn with plenty of room to play and relax. Watch fish in the sparkling creek and deer in the mini forest. A large fire pit, picnic tables, hammock trees, and adjacent sand pile, complete with sand toys, await.

Your safety, comfort, and peace of mind during your stay are our top priority. We want you to relax and enjoy every moment. We take great care to ensure our home is clean and sanitized. Details are included at the end of the property description.*

The beach here is broad and delightfully uncrowded - perfect for beach combing, leisurely walks, wave watching, and sunset celebrations. The peaceful sound of the ocean is your constant companion at this cabin, just 250 paces from the sand. Wildlife lovers will enjoy the kaleidoscopic array of birds, and the chipmunks, squirrels, and other critters that share our little piece of paradise. Habitat is being restored and many native plants are being added to invite even more of our native wildlife. Stocked bird feeders bring the action close for your enjoyment even on drizzly days. We provide extra bird food for your stay. A warm fire is ready at the touch of a button with the propane fireplace installed spring of 2021.

Railway enthusiasts will delight as the vintage steam engine passes just behind the cabin on her regular rounds, transporting visitors back in time and to nearby beach towns, making for magical memories. (check schedule for dates). Fishing and crabbing, long walks on the beach ,gorgeous nearby hikes, and exploring the charming town of Rockaway are favorite things to do during your stay. Our "Welcome" book provides even more ideas for outings and activities, along with menus and info on the local shops, and descriptions of many native plants.

The cabin welcomes you with three uniquely decorated bedrooms, each with a comfortable queen-sized bed, providing sleeping for six. While there are three bedrooms, the house is cozy, compact, and ideally suited to up to four guests. A roomy balcony and deck will extend your outdoor relaxation space. The kitchen is well equipped with dishware, pots, pans, teas and coffee, spices etc.. Enjoy our gift of S'mores fixings to add to a magical evening. There is a well-stocked beach bag, roasting sticks, bocci ball, books, board games, movies, even a portable artists' studio and more to make this an unforgettable holiday.

The cabin is perched atop a slope with 24 steps to the lower grounds which we share with the matching house to the south.

* We adhere to state and county guidelines for cleanliness during the Covid 19 pandemic. We do not schedule back to back guests in order to complete extensive cleaning and thoroughly air out the house, ensuring the freshest, cleanest indoor air possible. Air purifier and dehumidifier are also in use. All high touch surfaces, such as counters, knobs, handles, touch pad entry system, handrails, switches, taps, etc, are cleaned with disinfectant. Upholstered furniture is vacuumed and sprayed with disinfectant. Vacuum cleaner is emptied and filters washed after each guest visit. Floors are scrubbed, not just damp mopped. Bedding and bath linens are freshly laundered. All sofa and bed pillows have three freshly laundered layers of coverings. Extra bedding is individually sealed in plastic bags.
Guests are provided with face masks and gloves in individual packets should they be needed during their visit. Hand sanitizer is also provided.

Sweet vacation cottage
Our family had the best time! Location was great; quiet driveway but just close enough to Tillamook and downtown Rockaway in case we needed anything. Best part was the property and private trail to the beach. The house had everything we needed! We hope to stay here again in the future.

Perfect escape
We had a lovely weekend with our daughter and her family, including two small grandchildren. It was the perfect spot! The kids loved watching birds and finding slugs—they enjoyed the property almost as much as the beach (which was conveniently very close). The adults enjoyed all that too, as well as a well-equipped vacation kitchen, comfortable beds, and a cozy living room to hang out in for games and reading…

Nice stay near the beach
A smaller house by the beach. We had a nice garden lot behind the house, the owners had lots of notes about local flora and fauna. An easy drive to Rockaway (3-5min). Owners were very responsive. Kitchen had the std things you’d need for basic meal prep.

Just an absolute gem of a location. Quiet, cozy home in a fantastic setting. The access to the grounds, firepit and beach make this an amazing draw. The owners were great to work with. This is well worth it for anyone who is looking for a chill getaway at the coast.

Peaceful getaway
My family and I came up to visit my sister who has moved to Rockaway. This was a perfect central location to be able to go and check out so many locations. The home was a quaint little cottage and worked out very well for our stay. And talk about an incredible location! Just moments to a fairly quiet beach. I'm missing Oregon already and would definitely stay here again.

Dreamy bird and plant oasis!
My friend and I had such a lovely stay at this warm, welcoming home! The house had everything we needed, and a few things we didn't realize we needed until we arrived (jigsaw puzzles! bird identification guides!), and is surrounded by the most beautiful, mostly native garden. It's a short walk to the beach, which we had mostly to ourselves every time we visited, and when we returned to the house, it was so nice to sit on the deck and watch all the birds and chipmunks frolic while we sorted our beach treasures. Highly recommend this spot, and will definitely return in the future if they continue to rent it out. Thank you so much, Neal and Ida, for sharing your lovely home with us!

Ocean & Wildlife Heaven
This was our 2nd visit. The property is lovely, beautifully landscaped and easy, quick access to the beautiful wide beach. The house was very clean and the kitchen was nicely stocked. Sounds from the highway died down at night leaving only ocean sounds. Loved the variety of birds and adorable chipmunks that visited. Owners are always responsive and helpful.

Great time all around
This property has three distinct zones between the cabin and the water. There is a yard and gardens, a woodland with a camp fire pit and then the beautiful beach. You stroll through all three zones on your way. It was nice to be able to come off the beach, walk through the trees, the gardens, spray off in the yard and relax on the porch. We really enjoyed all the bird, deer and chipmunk activity. Morning coffee sitting on the logs on the top of the dune before the beach each morning was a plus. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time. The kitchen is equipped with the necessary cooking utensils for meal prep with a full sized oven and refrigerator. The whole family definitely enjoyed the stay. The owners were very helpful and provided extra travel instructions and tips on activities. We would stay at The Cabin on Strawberry Lane again. Thanks for the great week.

a great girlfriends weekend retreat
We had a great time together, and the house added to the fun. It was a cozy and comfortable place. It had everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, utensils, etc. The bedrooms were comfortable, everything was clean and accessible. The view was lovely. Access to the beach was close and easy. The back garden was pleasant and green. We loved watching the birds and chipmunks check out the feeder right there by the living room. Our only issue was the wi-fi. Our devices wouldn't connect. We don't know if the wi-fi wasn't connected or we didn't enter the password correctly. We tried multiple times. It wasn't that important to us, so we didn't press it. I highly recommend this house. Very enjoyable. We hope to get to stay there again.

Worst Vacation
This is the worst stay we've ever stayed at. Things were broken upon arrival. The coffee stand already had a home depot screw on the leg. The house stunk very bad. No wonder why it had a humidifier. Beds were old. My back hurt after sleeping on them. Dish washer didn't work. Had to contact manager. Directions were terrible. Parking could be better We've stayed at 15 houses last several years and by far this is the worst stay ever. I would NOT recommend it to anyone. The outside was a mess! They could have at least cleaned up the outside. Some random shoes were on the porch. Their protection was PVC pipes. Are you kidding me. Trash all over the house. The garbage can was more than half way full. Go elsewhere!

Wildlife TV!
Had a wonderful mother and daughter vacation. The house was perfect for us, main room and shower on the ground floor and the bedroom upstairs had a deck to watch sunsets. Every evening we had hot chocolate in front of the gas fireplace. The neighborhood deer stoped by most nights to graze and peek through the sliding back door. In the morning we had a blast sipping coffee and watching the chipmunks chasing each other, jay’s trying to dart into the feeder, juncos, sparrows, wrens, and even a flicker also visiting the feeder. On our last day, we used the folding chairs and walked to the beach to watch the sunset and storms start to roll in from the ocean. Very memorable visit, we would like to stay here again!

This was our second time staying here and we enjoyed it so much. The beach access cannot be beat and once on the beach you almost always have it to yourself. We enjoy walking the water line and gathering shells every morning with the grandkids and then coming back to the beach in the afternoon to play in the waves. We will be back again I am sure.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Neal and Ida are both native Oregonains and have always had a connection to the Oregon coast. We are delighted to share our little piece of Paradise with you. Ida, a retired art teacher, is working to re-establish native flora and increase the biodiversity of the property, inviting birds, bees, butterflies and more. We divide our time between Portland and the coast.

Why they chose this property

We could look out across the meadow and woods all day and be content but the beach beckons us a few steps further. We love that the beach is so unpopulated; often we are the only people on the sand.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful, green, tucked away, but within easy reach of dining, shopping, and more. Mini forest, creek, bridge, hammock trees, large fire pit, gardens, friendly wildlife.
