About this property

Beautifully Updated Oceanfront Cottage with a Hot Tub in Downtown, Beach Access!

The Weather Gauge


This sweet blue cottage has been hosting seaside guests in the perfect location since 1925, but you’d never know it inside—thoughtful renovation designed for the modern guest makes it a sleek showcase of practicality and comfort. You’ll climb stairs to reach the front door to a pristine, white interior, bright with ocean light and contemporary furnishings, and blessed with Pacific views. Sit back on sofas in front of the wall-mounted TV, dine at the playful dining table, or engage in conversation in the little sitting area off to the side—you’ll always be comfortable with the modern heating/air-conditioning system. Cooking in the polished galley kitchen is a breeze—you’ll love the new appliances and glossy blue tile—and you can grill out in the little fenced yard and eat at the picnic table in the ocean breeze or check out the private beach access. You’ll love the queen bedroom and sparkling bath on the main level; the upstairs double twin under skylit eaves with a view of the sea is a dreamy retreat.

Your location is superb: you’re steps from miles of level sand, surf and views of Twin Rocks. When you’re ready for a change of scene, rinse off the sand in the home’s outdoor shower and walk to restaurants and shops in Rockaway Beach’s downtown. Catch an old-fashioned ride on a steam train on the Oregon Scenic Railroad to Garibaldi and back, passing beautiful bays and sloughs along the coast. Jump in the car to explore the whole North Coast. At the end of the day, you’ll be back to your cottage by the sea for another memorable sunset.

Disappointed stay

We were notified 1.5 hours before arrival that we wouldn’t be able to check-in on time and that we couldn’t arrive until 1.5 hours after initial arrival. Additional notice would have been helpful. Upon arrival the house was in good condition. When we went to use the hot tub the first night the water appeared very murky but we were hopeful it would clear up over night. The next day it was even worse and the water had started to smell foul. We reached out to the Meredith team to see if we could get some chemicals to clean the hot tub out and were told it would be addressed in the morning during their working hours. We never heard anything the next day even though we reached out again mid-day. We never got any response until 2 hours after we checked out (almost 1.5 days after we first notified them of the issue). My daughter and I both ended up with a rash on our body from what we can only anticipate was the hot tub water. It was very disappointing that we weren’t able to use the hot tub for over half of our visit, especially because the hot tub was one of the main reasons we chose the house. Customer service from the company was well below my expectations and I will not plan to rent another house from this rental company again.

Oregon getaway

Property is as pictured in photo and accomodated our party of 4 adult women. Trundle beds upstairs are great for kids but could be a challenge for adults. Both bathrooms downstairs and stairs to climb from parking outside. But kitchen and living area with windows to see the ocean . Hottub was in great shape! Beach towels and extra blankets came in handy!

Girls Weekend Getaway

The property was fantastic! We weren’t able to use the hot tub the first night because the temperature was set too low and needed the entire night to come up to temperature, but otherwise kept temperature the rest of our trip and was very relaxing. The property was impeccably clean, very bright & welcoming. Loved the couch for a late night movie. Loved the direct access to the beach. Thank you!

Beautiful Property, Comfortable Stay

Access to the beach is great. Beautiful location. Comfortable home and well-equipped kitchen. Backyard is not very private as it is adjacent to neighbors, and there are no visual barriers. Very clean and organized.

Rockaway beach stay

Enjoyed our stay here. Good location for exploring both north and south of Rockaway beach. Hot tub was great after long days of exploring the coast. Pictures accurately showed the house. Very clean. Just be careful on stairs going down from upstairs bedroom. We slipped going down twice.

Nice location

We enjoyed our stay. Very clean and a short trail walk to beach. Wouldn’t suggest for older folks or handicapped. Rocks between stairs and house are uneven and a couple minor trips. Master bedroom has very low bed which I had a difficult time getting up from so I slept in chair (I’m the old guy) otherwise, very nice!

Beachy Stay

The location of the cabin is great! You do have to walk over a dune in very soft sand to get to the beach, but that is typical for the area and it is worth the walk. Chairs and beach items are provided which was great. The temperature was in the 90’s when we were there so the AC was wonderful. Only complaint is the primary bedroom is very small. You cannot fit a suitcase in the bedroom. It was very tastefully done for the size. Also, they do not provide coffee so you need to bring your own.

We loved our stay. Very updated and stocked with everything you needed. The home being right on the beach was the main reason we booked- I am so glad we did. The location was amazing and the view was dreamy.

Great location perfect for a small family

We knew we wanted to take in several different beaches during our stay. This location made it all a short drive! Cute and clean home! Perfect for our family of 4! Didn’t use the hot tub because of the outdoor camera in the back. Made it feel a bit awkward! But that was the only draw back.

We had the best time at the Weather Gauge - the view and the beach itself is incredible. Perfect location to walk to dinner, drive up for a day in Seaside or Cannon Beach, do some quick easy hikes, and play on the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Location!

Right on the beach with very easy access to the sand and water. Just a very short, fairly flat walk. Also walking location to shops and restaurants. The hot tub is very nice, as is the small yard with BBQ and picnic table, but it isn’t super private because the neighbors are very close. The upstairs is a great room for kids and the downstairs main with en-suite is nice for adults. Very well equipped kitchen too!
