Perfect spot to base our travels from! Rockaway is the right size - big enough to have a spot for groceries and a few restaurants, shops and a beautiful beach but never felt too busy/crowded or had much traffic. We are glad we chose Rockaway over Seaside/Cannon Beach. The house was just prefect for our small family (two adults not in a relationship and one pre-teen), lots of space and privacy. There is no noise from neighbors in the hills but are really close to town, you feel quite secluded but it is easy to get to the main highway. Loved the hot tub and playing the Oregon Trail game in the evenings, 10 minute walk to the beach. Bonus - a beautiful babbling brook is behind the property along with many birds, bats and deer. Comfortable, clean and just as advertised, Would definitely book again!
