The house was very clean and ready with everything we needed (dishes, towels, toiletries, etc.) We absolutely loved that the beach was less than a minutes walk, as we brought along our two labs who we brought down there to play and swim all day. It was cozy and comfortable and we couldn't have hoped for a better place to call home for a week. We will definitely stay here again!"

Funky, dog friendly, beach place

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"Enjoyed our two nights in Rockaway. The house is close to the beach just a short walk down the road but did not expect the house to be so close to 101 and the railroad tracks. House was older with an interesting layout, but we prefer this older style beach house to something modern. Dogs friendly was a huge plus. No Cable and WiFi TV didn't work that great kept buffering so we just watched the DVD's for entertainment. "

Rustic... It felt like going home.

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"Enjoyed the northern Oregon coast for three days. Serenity Cottage was an excellent home base. This quaint, rustic cottage sits less than one city block away from Rockaway Beach. We couldn't have been happier! The cottage was very clean and well stocked with needed utensils for cooking. Both my husband and I grew up in houses very similar in Oregon and Minnesota respectively. It felt like home. The only thing we would ask is that 3-to-2 electrical plug converters be on hand for use. "

Vacation getaway

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

" It was a lovely, quaint cottage that was very nice to stay in. It was nice and roomy. The area is quiet. Everything was set up correctly. And we would recommend it to anybody. Very assessable to the beach and a very nice small town. Other than the train going by on the weekend it was extremely quiet. There were a few things that need fixing there was no light in the fridge. The front porch light was burned out . One of the main ceiling bedroom lights were burned out. Just small little things that go out."

Cottage on the beach

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"It had an older cottage feel. One main living space, with lots of games and tv for movies. The kitchen had what we needed. One master bedroom, one bonus room with a twin and a pullout trundle, and a double bed. Our 8th guest slept on the couch, however, do understand there was a pullout sofa available which we did not use. We were looking for a few extra bed linens and didn't find an exact match, but we found something that would work. The location was as expected. Easy walking distance to beach and to restaurants. We weren't too happy about the train tracks, but don't let that discourage you. They aren't a bother. We only saw a slow moving sightseeing tour travel through a few times. "

The supplies were minimal (one roll of toilet paper and a small hotel-sized bar of soap for 4 people for 1 week definitely is not enough). Accessible to town - restaurants and shopping. Easy access to the beach. Throw rugs need to be washed. May want to warn guests not to do dishes while someone is in the shower."

Family vacation

Overall satisfaction: Property condition: Location: Cleanliness: Services from rental manager:

"We decided to take a last minute trip to the coast for my Birthday and I am so glad that we did. Pros: per night rate, we were able to bring our pup, WiFi was great, TV streaming options were great, location is great, the house was clean, perfect size, well stocked Cons: master bed was very firm, 2nd bedroom is across the house in the remodeled garage right next to the backdoor (which is fine for older kids but I was uneasy about it for my toddlers).Rockaway beach is the perfect little place to enjoy the scenic train ($75 for 4ppl- which we were a little taken aback by the cost), decent food (nothing super special and we were bummed it was difficult to find fresh fish), beautiful walks on the beach with so much to explore. Everything is closed on Tuesdays for some reason. Dispensary is right by the house, which was a plus for me. All in all- we had a really relaxing family vacation and we will continue to vacation all along the coast. "

Great location, home needs some updating

It had some food on the floor or daughter found crawling around though and a note indicating it was last cleaned a few months before we arrived. House is great overall and we will likely stay again. Some humidity damage in the house with some peeling wallpaper and some cracking in the kitchen floor where flooring was placed over a hole. Would definitely recommend for a beach vacation."

Serenity Cottage Family Retreat

"Serenity Cottage was just the place my family needed to gather and enjoy each others company. So close to the beach! The town in February is serene as well. Many of the shops are open full time so we could always get an espresso or food. A few minor problems with the house including a malfunctioning fireplace that had a sign on it saying not to use it (which was one of the main reasons this property appealed to me to because it had a working fireplace) and the Roku wouldn't allow us to use the television for anything but the dvd function. Overall ,though, the house was clean and fully stocked and quite comfortable."
