We had a great time at the Doty house
by Christian M
We had a great time at the Doty house. Rockaway Beach is one of those communities that is not very crowded and has an wonderful beach. We definitely enjoyed the house. On the top level, the living room is really comfortable with really nice views. There are four bedrooms. Two are on the first floor, one is on the second floor, and one is on the third. This bears mentioning because my wife and I have a baby. We were on the bottom level and our friends were on the top. Noise with the baby was never an issue. I really liked this floorplan because you can have more than one family staying there without feeling cramped. Everything was clean and nice. We cooked a lot and the kitchen had everything that we needed. Without a doubt, I would stay here again.

We came up for 2 nights and couldn't have had a better stay. The rooms were all clean. Comfy Beds. Very quiet and private but still very close to 101 to get into town. We were able to walk the main road. I would for sure stay here again.
Pros: Good view of the ocean, nice kitchen, beds were comfortable, nice decks on each floor and we only had to load and start the dishwasher when we were leaving

Pros: Good view of the ocean, nice kitchen, beds were comfortable, nice decks on each floor and we only had to load and start the dishwasher when we were leaving. Cons: The driving directions were not correct...we all had to use GPS to find the place. The house furnishing are dated and do not accommodate a large group very well. There were eight adults in our group and the dinning room table only had four chairs so we could not all sit together for our meals. The seating in the living room only had four comfortable chairs and a couch. There were four office chairs that looked like the ones you would see in any waiting room. The configuration of the bedrooms in the basement was weird because you had to walk through on bedroom to get to the other. When we first arrived the house had a really strong odor so we opened all the windows to air it out. Once we closed the windows the basement still had this strong odor. I'm not sure but I think it could possible have something to do with the old carpet on the stairs and in the basement.
My family and I have stay at this house more than once and will continue to do so
by Cecilia Middleton
My family and I have stay at this house more than once and will continue to do so. It has the perfect setup to stay with 6 or 7 of your friends or family. Awesome TV set up on the main floor, but there is another little TV in the bedroom downstairs. Perfect for being a part of the group, but also having privacy. You are located right between The Tillamook Factory and Cannon Beach. You you can do all the exploring you want, then return to a more quiet, but beautiful beach in Rockaway.

Doty House
by Anne P.
Need to update furniture. Looks better in pictures. Driveway, was a little hard to navigate. Didn't leave enough paper towels, toilet paper or garbage bags. That might of been enough for one or two day stay, but we stayed longer. The process to make the reservation was really easy.
The Doty House review
by Anonymous
Very nice location and view, but tight parking. A few issues with cleanliness, but overall a good experience. The outside garbage was overflowing when we arrived, and I had to call twice - and two days later they emptied 1/3rd of it. And the dishwasher leaked, and I called about it, but no one every called back or came to fix it.
Great Rockaway Beach get away
by Rebecca P.
The property was as advertised and perfect for our family of six. We loved the location and views. A lot of reviews talked about the driveway being hard to get in and out of but we had two small SUVs and had no trouble. Beds were comfortable and the main living space was great for gathering for a meal. The only thing it lacked in our opinion was a whisk which is very minor. We would stay here again. Loved this small town endits shops and enjoyed riding the train too and from Garibaldi. We didn’t know that a lot of businesses are closed Monday-Wednesday. We also enjoyed the Cape Meares lighthouse and octopus tree. There is also a great easy hike right in Rockaway to an old huge tree. The Tillamook Creamery was fun and if course the ice cream is great there but you can also enjoy it at a couple shops in Rockaway. The town of Cannon Beach is a neat place but crowded. The drive up and down the coast is of course beautiful.
We also really enjoyed all the beaches and cool weather. Can’t wait to come back.
Lovely family get away
by Natascha S.
House is 3 stories with fabulous decks off of each bedroom. The woods to the south/east provide ample habitat for birds who sing sweetly each morning as you gaze at the beach below. We had a few flying ants in the house (seasonal?) otherwise wished for a few dishwasher tabs and a better vacuum so we could be a bit tidier. Otherwise great for a group with amazing views of the sunset from the driveway. Driveway is steep and makes a 180 degree turn so back in if you can for ease .
Our Weekend Getaway!!
by Karla P.
It was great! Nice to have 3 floors when vacationing with a lot of people, was nice to go to my room with my own deck and get some quiet;)
Excellent Stay--Love the Place

Awesome home, had everything we needed, and very clean. I read some other reviews that mentioned ants; well we cooked/ate at the house several times and never saw any. We absolute LOVED our stay here on the Oregon coast!
Our stay at the Doty House
by Barbara R.
We really enjoyed the upper level kitchen/living area with windows on three sides. The beds were comfy and bathrooms were very well supplied. We were unable to use the lower level due to the musty smell. Allergies reacted to it so much that we only used the entry and upper levels.
A place in Rockaway
by Ana M.
Loved the views!! The place had an ant problem. We could not leave any food on the counter by the sink. Ants would come out in droves.
Had to put it on the island in the kitchen.Ants in the bedroom & near the bed, found them on us in bed. Love the fact that it had all the cooking utensils you need to cook with. It even had a waffle maker. Also too few kitchen towels provided for the 4 days we where there.& only 4 dishwasher pods provided. No trash can available for our trash . Also previous people’s trash left in garage. I would be unhappy if I had payed anymore for this place.Again great views!!!

A Hidden Gem
by Andrew S.
Location is great, with spectacular views of the waves and the coast from up on the hill above. We fit two families comfortably in the space. The common room on the top floor is a great place to congregate. This is a bit off the beaten path along the Oregon coast, and we loved it. We spent some time at the more famous beaches, but we mostly loved just driving a few minutes to the beaches in Rockaway Beach where we had most of the beach to ourselves. Thanks

Nice but musty basement
by Mike O.
The Basement is quite musty, it was not a pleasant place to sleep. Also the outside garbage can was full so we could not take the garbage out. There was no remote for the DVD player. Otherwise the house was comfortable and we had a good time.

Weekend getaway
by Julie S.
We had a great stay for all 9 of us. This house fit our two families perfectly! The views were very pretty!
Okay, but won't be going back
by Anonymous
Ice maker was broken & ice cube trays empty; kitchen table and cutting board sticky; broken kitchen sink nozzle; dust/webs/insects on several floor corners; windows missing screens (and we needed to open windows because it was a warm day, which allowed bugs to get in); hallway light to basement (and 2 of the 4 bedrooms) burnt out; no dish cloth/only 2 dish towels; sheets on one of the beds had sandy and hair on it, so we washed it ourselves before using; cereal on the living room floor. Kitchen stocked well enough. Wifi worked fine. Enough hot water for 4 showers. Road to house and driveway are VERY steep. Be sure to follow driving directions sent, as Google Map told us we arrived when we were directly below the house, which actually was several hundred feet up the hill above us. Very nice neighborhood with lush yards & common areas. View is fabulous!

Almost Perfect
by Asia S.
The location was perfect. Beautiful sight of the ocean and the sunset was amazing. Only thing that was not perfect was that the description says that it has 4 br and we had four couples. One room didn’t have a door and had to go through one room to get to the other room. Of course I didn’t want to give a couple that room so my husband and I took it. The two biggest people sleeping on a Queen. After we got through that it was perfect. One other thing I’ve had to scrub that coffee pot. Guess the cleaners forgot.

Loved the view
by Anonymous
We enjoyed the great views of the town and ocean. Little bit of a steep drive, but worth it.
Nice house with a great view and a lot of space.

This home worked nicely for us. We had 4 adults and 2 teens and almost everyone had their own bedroom. The common area living room and kitchen are spacious and well equipped. The view is awesome and there is a wrap around deck on every level.
However, for the price we were disappointed in some of the smaller details. Most of the blinds are either broken or missing pulls or strings. Sliding doors are very sticky. The kitchen seemed surface clean but the stove had crusted food on it. The hand rails were filthy, my husband cleaned them and the paper towels came away black. We went to use the washing machine and found a bedspread had been left after a wash cycle and smelled like mildew. And the outside trash can was completely overflowing. I called about the trash and it was taken care of promptly which we appreciated, but we wondered why the cleaning person hadn't reported it in the first place. As far as location, it's very close to town and the beach, but really tucked away up in the hills and the slope down and around to the garage is a little scary to maneuver, especially driving away from the house. Overall we liked the house and we would stay there again, but feel that for the price it should have been a bit nicer.
Spacious with good views!
by Donald G.
Home is light and bright with Amazon views from all windows. We loved staying there. There are a few maintenance issues: shades in upstairs bedroom broken when we got there, switches missing on some heaters, leak under sink master, all lights on stove burned out, floors not cleaned in family room, therefore lots of ants. No extra toilet paper. Barbecue beat up. Trash full when we got there and animals made a mess of it- we did call but didn't get picked up before we left
