My family arrived for a 3 night stay to celebrate my birthday! We were super excited to see the house was in walking distance to the beach. The interior to the home had been updated and furnished in a beachy theme. It was comfortable and cute, albeit possibly haunted. The downstairs had a vibe nobody could shake and our teenage son chose to sleep upstairs with the rest of us, instead of down there...where the Xbox is! We all heard sounds as well. Cupboards opening/closing and other unidentifiable sounds - at 3am and during the day. This even prompted a walk-around the home to “investigate” what it could be, with no explanation.
We drove into Tillamook to shop at Safeway for our visit, and packed the fridge and cupboards with groceries. The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare and enjoy our meals.
Having two bathrooms is a must, especiallly with three boys, but I do wish the bathtub would have held water. We tried running a bath, but could not get the drain to stay closed.
This home is located a short drive from Tillamook (cheese factory!) and one of the days we drove north (40ish miles) to hang out in Astoria and Cannon Beach.
As for Rockaway Beach, the Twin Rocks are spectacular. Bonfires are allowed (follow some simple rules/common sense) and the seashells and pretty stones are abundant.
We will be returning, as the location of this home is perfect for all the activities my family enjoys.
