If you're looking for a quiet getaway on the Northern Oregon Coast, consider this lovely Rockaway Beach cottage! The cozy, light-filled interior, modern comforts, and incredible location will appeal to the whole family - and your dog is welcome, too!

Everything is within walking distance when you stay at this vacation rental. Shopping and dining options are just up the street, and beach access is an easy walk past a few houses.

With the beach practically in the backyard, this home is perfect for a small family hoping to spend a lot of time enjoying the sand and surf. Use the fully equipped kitchen to whip up a delicious dinner for your family, perhaps using some regional, fresh-caught fish. In the evening, relax and unwind while you browse the cable channels on the flatscreen TV. Whether you spend your days exploring the area or chilling on the beach, you'll love coming back to this comfortable cottage.

One well-behaved dog is also welcome at this home, so be sure to pack a bag for Rover! (Please note an additional nightly pet fee applies.)

Great location, home needs love.
House was in an amazing location to everything, we walked almost everywhere we went. However the home needs some love and upgrades. Beds were extremely uncomfortable and there were no dressers. Bathroom is REALLY small and doesn't even have a shelf to put cloths/towels on.

Location with a Twist
The location of this property is perfect! It was a last minute booking and not a house I would normally choose. I read the reviews, so we came prepared with fans and bedding for the futon. We also brought cleaning supplies. We cleaned the fan blades, window and screen in the room closest to the bathroom. I wiped down all the kitchen cabinets and each side of the doors for the bedroom. I would have deep cleaned the place if it wasn't for us being on vacation. All the reviews are correct, except the kitchen had plenty of kitchen stuff to make meals as we cooked most of our meals there. Customer service from Vacasa is amazing and responsive. The outlet closest to the window in the bedroom closest to the bathroom was blocked, so we put a fan in the kitchen window and angled it to the bedroom which worked perfectly. The train is loud and find as to be expected. The foundation needs repair and as the house slopes inside. I am thinking the train shaking the house has something to do with it. All in all we had fun and relaxed quite a bit. The beach walks were awesome and peaceful. Netarts bay is amazing. We love this area and visit almost every year. We can't wait to move to this area in near future.

Dirty and in disrepair
The house was filthy and falling apart. Floors had not been swept or washed. The walls, doors and trim were covered in layers of dirt. The bathroom ceiling had mold in multiple places. All of the fixtures in the bathroom were covered in rust. The shower head was broken. The bathroom floor tiles we broken and loose. This is the second property managed by Vacasa that we have stayed at this year which has been in complete disrepair and utterly filthy.

Ok.
The home was adequate sized for our family of three. The bathroom was tiny and if I was a large person, it would not have been comfortable; there were small fruit fly type bugs in the bathroom; the inner shower curtain was pink at the bottom with mold. The door to one of the rooms barely opened because of the size of the room and the bed was in the way. The dresser was broken with the pieces sitting on top. It smelled like a smoker used to live in the home. The fridge was rusty at the bottom and appeared to be leaking. The dining room table hadn’t been wiped down. The screen on the front side door was ripped. The bed sheets were clean and water pressure in shower was good.

The dirtiest rental I've ever been in.
While checking in here was easy and I appreciated the reminders about the check-in time and how to get in, that was the only good thing about this experience. I wish I could attach photos, because I am still in shock about how disgusting this rental was/is. There were clumps of dust on the ceiling fan, as well as other indications this place is WELL OVERDUE for a deep clean. Everything was dingy, the fridge was leaking, whoever has been cleaning it has either been sweeping dirt under the beds (as we found dust/dirt piled up along with a sock (!) and an empty soda bottle under ours. It was so disgusting I asked to be moved to another rental (which I took the time to find on the site) but instead they just refunded me the cleaning/Vacasa fees. It was so gross, while we had initially planned to cook some meals there we ended up eating out for every meal. I would have turned around and driven home except that my parents were on this trip with me and we had coast plans for the days we were there. I realize VRBO/Vacasa probably had no idea how gross this place was, but they did little to help other than a refund of their fees, which is better than nothing, but that still meant paying much more than this place was worth. I would have rather stayed in a hotel after seeing how terrible this place was. Aside from the dirty-ness of the rental, it was in a location that faces the highway, and while the beach is walkable, there is no good outdoor space. The shared space is a couple picnic tables that are located outside some of the other units, so they really don't seem like they're for anyone. The rental itself (other than how incredibly dirty it was) was just old and out of shape. The bathroom light wouldn't turn off, the fan turned off maybe on a timer but there was no control, there were zip ties as curtain holders, the bathroom shower was gross, and it was much smaller than the photos make it appear-you wouldn't be able to sit four people at the dining table without rearranging furniture (which was fine because it was so dirty and gross we didn't eat there anyway). I'm probably forgetting to mention things (like that there was old food crusted in the burner wells of the oven-that were lined in aluminum foil so it honestly would have been an easy thing for them to clean!) but just don't rent this place. This rental was over $600 for the time I stayed there, and I wouldn't have even paid $200 for how gross I felt the entire time we were there.

Amazing place to stay
We all loved staying at this place and will stay again. It worked out great. Pros , Right across the street from all the little stores and food market, a few houses from the ocean maybe a 3 minute walk. The beach and town wasn’t crowded at all and we went on memorial weekend to. The house worked good, not fancy but everything worked. It has a fenced in shared yard but my kids loved it and everyone was very nice. Couldn’t hear the neighbors even though they are very close. The train is right out front but again everyone loved it, and it only goes by a few times during the day. There is a laundry mat right down the road you can walk to. Cons , food was very expensive at the market. I would do your food shopping for your trip before you get to town at Fredmeyers or something. There’s no seasonings at the house either. AND the beds are very hard! I read that before and figured it would be fine but I woke up sore like an old lady. All in all I loved it.

Nice home. No washer/dryer and no dishwasher. But not a big deal. Good water pressure and hot water. Lack of parking. Supposed to be 1 vehicle only - wasn't informed about until the day of arrival.

Comfy stay!
We stayed at Starfish 1 for about 2 weeks. It was small but comfy, with 2 bedrooms and a futon couch. We had to move the coffee table around to lay the futon down, but that wasn't a problem. The bathroom could use a paint job, and there's no ventilation in it unless you open the window, so there's some mold around the ceiling, and the toilet leaks a little, but overall, no big deal. The beds are quite comfy and there's comfy pillows and bedding. My biggest complaint would probably be the parking - other rentals on the street would have multiple vehicles and they parked directly in front of our door, which presented a problem as my dad is disabled and can't walk far. I would suggest that a sign be hung on the front porch saying 'Starfish 1 parking', and something similar for the other rentals. Also, quick tip - the post office won't deliver mail to the address, so they told me next time to just have anything sent to 'General Delivery' instead of the address! Convenient location, with a market just across the street and the beach a couple of blocks away. All in all, a comfy stay!

They just don't care
Broken stove, leaking fridge, uncomfortable beds, awful livingroom and very run-down. We are quite happy in modest abodes but this was just run down, rickety, and haphazardly thrown together. We couldn't cook on the stove but didn't realize until the second night because we had takeout the first night. It would take very little investment to make it a much nicer stay for families. The photos paint a much rosier picture than reality. The futon couch was so uncomfortable just to sit on, let alone sleep on, that it made everybody angry, and we couldn't sit down and relax together. I wish we hadn't wasted 2 nights here as our only summer vacation.

Dirty. Poor cleaning procedures.
Bathroom sink and tub would not drain. Tub so full of hair and took several minutes for water to drain that was AFTER I pulled out a glob of hair from the drain . Top of the refrigerator was filthy the rugs were not moved and cleaned underneath, the bathroom floor near the sink appeared that it has not been swept nor mopped/washed in months, the tub/towels and bedroom linens had black hair all over.. I took some videos and photos as I was so disgusted and disappointed. I have NEVER left a poor review anywhere that I’ve stayed. I was so disappointed in this property. We reserved this property to stay at for a wedding in the area. When a customer is paying a cleaning fee I would say that it is a fair assumption that the property would be clean prior to the new guests arriving… This was clearly not the case. Basic cleaning needs to be taught to the Vacasa staff I’m rockaway beach, OR. I will be requesting my cleaning fee back.

good location, old buildings.
Booking somewhat late for the 4th of July holiday we were happy to reserve this unit. It worked fine for us. The location was great for fireworks: 1.5 blocks from the fireworks with great views from the courtyard, and one short block from the beach. . We had 3 small dogs and the grass courtyard enclosed by picket fence and gates gave a nice area for the dogs to wander in. The units are old and small and have a single outlet in each room. No dishwasher. The refrigerator either had a water leak or condensation causing an occasional trickle of water from under the fridge. Small spoons only in the drawer.. The bathroom is quite small although the shower in the bathtub worked well with hot water right away and nice flow. There is no good surface to put toiletries/medications in the bathroom. except for a small nook behind the shower. The queen sized beds were comfortable and filled most of the bedroom. Hard to access both sides of the bed in the second bedroom. We would be happy to stay there again if a nicer unit was not available. The location and fenced yard were perfect for us.

Deplorable!
We were NOT pleased, happy, nor satisfied with our stay in your unit. This was due to to DEPLORABLE conditions and FALSE advertising of this unit. We have photos to document the FACTS. We should receive a refund of at least 1/2 of our cost. DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS Bedrooms: Both bedrooms had pillows that were discolored with filth and stains. Kitchen: Refrigerator had puddles of water on the floor below the rusted door. Despite the controls, the interior temperature remained inadequate for food safety. Coffee pot leaked brewed coffee from the bottom of the appliance. One 6” fry pan only. One element on stove not working. Bathroom: Warped door would not shut Broken tiles, due to rotting subfloor around toilet and tub. Sink dislodging from wall. 2 and 1/2 rolls of toilet paper for 4 people and a 4 day stay. Parking: printed on our confirmation was “Dedicated spaces: 1”. This representation led us to believe we had a parking space. However the “1” space was actually shared by 4 units with multiple autos. Our confirmation was misleading. This unit was over priced due to its current condition and the false photos used to advertise it. We can send you our photos as proof if requested. We expect a reply, if none is received we will post the photos on line. We await your reply.
