All about the views

We picked this place for the views and it didn’t disappoint. While some decor is a tad dated, and our dog was incessantly interested in the rug smells, we had a nice stay and good enough weather to enjoy the balcony. Also chilly enough nights to enjoy the tub and fireplace. Props to having no less than three coffee making options! Would be a great place for a family holiday with the space and double ovens.

Great views! Clean and lovely home

Would definitely stay there again if we need a place in Rockaway. Lovely, well insulated (never felt cold even with so many windows) and it was very comfortable on all three levels even though it was a chilly, rainy weekend. Our family plans had gotten canceled (wedding) but my husband and I kept the reservation and stayed there alone and it was peaceful and relaxing! The ocean views were perfect.

Best 40th anniversary, father's day, birthday place ever.

Love this house and everything about it. So lovely, best views of the ocean imaginable, super comfortable sofa & recliners to relax by the fire and watch the sunset from the living room. Great space for a couple of our adult kids and their wives to visit and hang out one evening for food and games and birthday gifts (and father's day fun). Best weekend ever - perfect place to spend it! Thank you so much!

Amazing Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This wonderful home has amazing views...the view of the ocean can be seen from the deck, the living area, lower level & lower deck. You can open the patio doors to feel the cool breeze & hear the sound of the ocean waves as you enjoy the view! The house is well equipped and has everything needed to enjoy your stay. The location is also great. Tillamook was only a short drive to the south. We also drove north along the Pacific highway to Astoria for a day trip. We will definitely return to this house in the future!!

WOW! Fantastic Place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house, view, and location is exactly as described. The pictures of the view are honest -- absolutely gorgeous! (I can't always say that about vrbo homes.) The lay-out was perfect for our family gathering of 10. Each of our smaller family units had their own space with 2 common areas and a deck. We had a problem with the dishwasher and within 24 hours, 2 people from maintenance responded and fixed the problem. All beds were very comfortable. We would have no hesitation staying here again.

Beautiful vacation home with magnificent view of ocean & city.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Downstairs toilet ran so we turned off water to it. Beds were very uncomfortable w/springs. Couldn't find coffee pot so used other container. Later learned dishwasher was full of dishes & coffee pot. Barb-a-que took 20 minutes to clean as bottom was full of grease and unsafe to use due to fire hazard. $800 for two nights for house that was not perfect was too much. Beautiful house & location.

Great house, poor management

The house itself it fantastic: unique, function layout and killer views. Unfortunately, Oregon Beach Vacations is running it on a bare bones budget, which is very frustrating for a place that cost us $600+/night. A few of the issues: - sheets and towels are old, rough, and cheap - single ply toilet paper - hard beds - very limited consumables (TP, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher pods, etc) - there was pink algae around the bathroom sink drains and black mold in the shower - no deck chairs - BBQ propane tank rusted shut - no screens on most windows and sliding doors Looking at the previous reviews going back over a year it's clear OBV is aware of these issues but refuses to correct them. I'll be avoiding their properties in the future.

Great Stay at the Lighthouse

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a great vacation at the Lighthouse. The house was very clean and lots of space for everyone to spread out, and space to hang out together. The walk to the beach was about a mile, with part being uphill, but that just helps walk off some of that vacation food. The views were incredible. We will definitely make another reservation here if it opens up again. For the conveniences in the house - There was only one small roll of paper towels - no paper napkins or extra roll. Had to buy more. Also the coffee maker lid is not secure and the pot was stained. Maybe a new coffee maker is in order. Other than those minor items everything was clean and convenient.

Beautiful yet uncomfortable

Don’t get me wrong, this place is GORGEOUS. However, the beds are extremely uncomfortable. No one slept well and one member in our party had to drive 30 mins to buy a blow up mattress - yes it was that bad. The sheets are like plastic sandpaper and literally stick to your skin and the mattresses in every room are SO uncomfortable. The bathtub in the master bedroom also had red drips of something in the bottom and residue. No one used it for this reason. The kitchen was well stocked and it was decorated really cute, but we won’t be back just because everyone was achey and tired. Being able to sleep is really important on vacation. Also, when getting in the house the last number on the lock box sticks really bad and we almost couldn’t get the keys to go in. It is very beautiful and the location is amazing. But I wouldn’t recommend it, pick somewhere else.

Perfect place for storm watching!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 3 day stay included a major coastal storm with strong 25+ mph winds and very heavy rains. It truly felt like we were in a real lighthouse up high on the hillside with those great windows. It was spectacular. Even when we briefly lost power, we had the gas fireplaces and the gas stove top. The wind blew down the BBQ unit and moved it around some. And the wind blew the screens on all three sliders, which were ceaselessly flapping loudly, metal parts and magnets banging and crashing on the glass. There was no way to tie them down. It was really the only fly in the ointment, but I have to mention it! We all would have slept so much better without that disturbing noise. Perhaps for winter now you could remove those truly irritating, useless screens?! Future guests will appreciate it, believe me! And if that were fixed, we'd sure like to stay in the Lighthouse again during a storm!

Cleanliness Issues

The property is not well-maintained. The towels and sheets are low quality and thin and scratchy. The house was a little dirty when we arrived. One of the beds had a lot of sand and hair in it as if the sheets had not been changed. There are weird stains in the primary bedroom tub. It needed to be vacuumed. I reported it to property management and it was cleaned again. It was better. The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. I tried to run it. It did not work. I reported it to property management who opened up a work ticket. After a day, the washer was still broken so I called again. At that point, I was told that the work order was canceled because the owner was going to replace the dishwasher. At no point prior to my arrival was I told that the dishwasher was broken. And I had to call to learn that they wouldn't be fixing it. Moreover, we kept finding dirty dishes that had been put back on the shelves dirty. DISGUSTING! Property management sent me a complaint form to complete which had a "be reviewed" by someone before they can do anything for us. I informed them that we would be leaving all the dirty dishes for then to deal with. I DONT DO OTHER PEOPLE'S DISHES BY HAND ON MY VACATION! The views are amazing. If I owned this house, I would maintain it better. Overall, it's kind of shabby.

Birthday Shenanigans

This home has amazing views. The house is set up nicely for multi-family groups. However, from the moment we walked through the door we were disappointed with the lack of cleanliness. I contacted the "property management" and Shelley apologized for the inconvenience saying she would have the housekeeper (Pam, as indicated on the card) come back to clean. We left to pick up food and were gone no more than 75 minutes. When we returned, we did not notice any change in presentation. I waited a few hours before calling back. Again Shelley was the person I spoke with. She told me the house was clean and had the audacity to argue with me. I sent pictures to her email of feces on the toilet seat, human hair on the washcloth laid out on the counter, what appeared to be dried blood on the tub (later to be determined a stain of unknown origin), obvious spilled fluid on sticky floors, and food on the stairs. I never heard back from anyone before checking out two days later. I looked for cleaning products to be able to disinfect surfaces but there were not any available to guests. All of this and still charged hundreds of dollars (had to revise review) cleaning fee. It is regrettable that the owners are either unaware of the lack of responsiveness from the "management company" that I am guessing they are paying a premium to ensure their guests are satisfied with the quality of the product, or they are okay with charging a cleaning fee for "enhanced cleaning" while leaving guests to feel disgusted as soon as they walk through the door. I did send the property owner an email to convey my concerns privately, but no response to date. I just wish I knew how to post the video!

Could have been better, changed since last year.

This is the second Christmas holiday we’ve stayed here but we will be looking elsewhere next year. The propane fireplaces and the cook top did not work (out of propane, not checked before our check in). Two cadet heaters downstairs did not work; one of them was in the bedrooms. The mattresses were not comfortable at all. One of our kids had to sleep on the pullout sofa and it was really uncomfortable.

Grandchildren Loved it

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We took the grandkids here and they loved it. They were able to have the lower level as their "place to stay". They spent the rainy days down there playing and having a great time.3 issues I would bring up, these did not overly distract from the overall experience.The grill was small and old, it was quite rusted out it didn't work. The jacuzzi tub was inoperable. The last is that the hand railing on the deck was loose with only a small piece of red tape stating to be careful. We had to block access to the deck with furniture to make sure the kids did not go out because, what is the first thing kids want to do? They want to run over to the rail and see how far down it is to the ground.Our family still had a wonderful time here. We went to the Jetty Marina and bought fresh crab. All the amenities were here at the home to crack and prepare the crab. We had plenty of utensils, dishes, etc.Everything as well kept

Very Bad

Host unresponsive to messages before trip. House in ugly gravel cul-de-sac. For-sale sign out front. Huge window facing ocean had smudges. Paper signs taped to tub: jets don’t work; soaker only. White walls around staircase very grubby. Carpet dirty, worn. Only 2 bedrooms with closing doors! Master bathroom has no door, only the whole bedroom. MOST WINDOWS HAVE NO CURTAINS; WE FELT EXPOSED, UNEASY, NAKED, THE ENTIRE TIME! Poorly homemade curtains don’t cover downstairs bathroom window enough (we draped a towel) or windows near bunkbeds! Window curtains in master bedroom were cheap shower curtains, size poorly modified! Cheap bug screens hung over sliding doors! Bedding is cheap, thin, old, faded. Both bunk beds are flimsy, wobbly, swaying; not even our 7-year-old girl trusted them. Had planned for each guest to sleep alone; forced to double up on lower beds. One bunk bed area was basically in hallway. Forgotten wet washcloth in upstairs half-bath on sink! Animal hair all over hard floor in master bedroom! Blood-like drips left in master tub! Poorly cleaned dishes, stove window, counters, sink, floor under bar stools. Long dinner table with short benches; not enough seating. Bay window bench had bed pillows for cushions! Mismatched, garage-sale-condition furniture everywhere. Breastfeeding chair and worn toddler’s toy cubby/bench in master bedroom. Scanty decorations on shelves and walls. Tasteless. Cheap knitted hot pads under some décor items. No telescope. Many baseball bobbleheads on wall of weird 2-story bedroom area with no window covers! Washing machine smelled bad! No supplies in laundry room. No cleaning supplies in kitchen except dishwasher detergent and few old laundry pods. In entry is cheap, tasteless display, a 5-minute craft project saying LIFE IS BETTER here. Decks have nice views (minus very close neighbor houses and junk), but the vinyl railings are flimsy and wobbly! Written warnings on ugly red tape say to not lean on railings! Nice view but too unsafe to enjoy! Mismatched, cheap deck furniture; small, dirty BBQ. We felt unsafe there; place felt like haunted or a cheap motel. One of us looked out window and saw a neighbor look in; creepy eye contact! Impractical floor and room layout. Empty, wasted space. House feels uninspired, poor, oppressive! No vacation house! We left as early as possible! Too many sticky notes with instructions from owners. Most disappointing house we have ever stayed at. We felt disrespected.

Amazing View, but...

The view was spectacular from this house: 180 degrees of Pacific Ocean! The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked. It was, however, impossible to sleep in, as the house was VERY light at 4:30 AM. There were really only 2 bedrooms in the large house. Two lengths of the deck railing were VERY loose, and had red tape signs that said, "No lean. Loose rail." I would not want a child to fall off this rail - very unsafe.

We followed suggestions of playing hid and seak which was a hit! The town is wonderful and just the right size. Tillamook is close by making a grocery store run not bad at all. The local train ride was fun even in the rain. Remember to choose historic not covered if raining when buying tickets online. Lincoln city Newport and Seaside were all so close. This house was so wonderful my son begs every weekend to go back.
