RB is also the stop for the Oregon Scenic Railroad which travels from Garabaldi to Rockaway Beach 3 times a day in the Summer & weekends during the off season. They also have dinner trains, Fall Splendor trains and Candy Cane Express during December with Santa. You can visit the Cedar Old Growth Nature Preserve in Rockaway to see one of the biggest western red cedars and take a walk in the woods! In town there's Lake Lytle which is a 65 acre lake with water that is warm enough to swim in during the summer and is stocked with rainbow trout & large mouth bass for the anglers in your group.

Tillamook is home to the Famous Tillamook Cheese Factory that hosts tours and has a great restaurant featuring all their dairy goodness including ice cream! Tillamook is also home to the Blue Heron Cheese company which is known for their different types of Brie cheese. This is a fun stop for the whole family because they have wine tasting, a petting zoo with alpacas, peacocks, goats & more, cheese tasting , great outdoor seating where you can order a nice lunch to eat while the kiddos & dogs enjoy the outside and a great store with lots of gifts & such. To the north of Rockaway Beach is Wheeler, Nehalem and Manzanita.

    We had such a great stay! This was a great find for us and our two young kids. Walking distance to shops and food, a playground, and the beach. The hosts were very kind and communicative, and had plenty to offer to keep the kiddos entertained. Thanks again!

    We had an amazing time and so did our dogs. This place is super cute and very well maintained. Perfect location!! Lived all the things included from beach towels to all sorts of games to a s’mores package. Was nice to be able to let the dogs out into the spacious fenced in front yard as well as let them hang out with us on the back deck with the little gate so they couldn’t run off, especially when using the provided Solo stove. Beds were all comfy. Will definitely plan a trip here again!!

    This beach house truly felt like home from the moment we arrived. The owners clearly thought of everything—every little detail was covered, and anything you could possibly need was already there. The space was incredibly comfortable and inviting, making it easy to relax and settle in right away. On top of that, the location was perfect—close to everything while still feeling peaceful. Overall, it was such a cozy, well-cared-for place, and we couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable stay.

    We loved our stay at Rocka-waves retreat! The owners did a fantastic job of setting up the house up for a young family and for dogs. Our kids were so excited from start to finish. The scenic train even goes by a few times a day just out front. The house was an easy walk to a couple of beach entrances as well as a number of food spots. The house was well furnished with bedding, bath towels, beach towels, and beach blankets. They even had some beach toys and a fire pit. The kitchen and grill also made it easy to cook at the house.

    We loved the cute cottage only half a block from the ocean. It is so convenient to walk across the street to several shops, pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very pleasant and communicated with us about check in and check out. Very dog friendly also. We will stay there again.

    The house was wonderful. We loved the fact it was so close to the beach, it made the walk to see the sunsets a few minutes. It also is in the middle of town so we were able to walk to shops and restaurants. The house has a master bedroom downstairs and more upstairs along with another bathroom. We only used the downstairs so that is the focus of this review. The bedroom is cozy, what it might of lacked in size, it made up with the lovely fire feature on the wall and the feeling of being in a lovely cocoon. We spent 3 nights on a 12 night trip and it was my best sleep. The kitchen had everything we needed. We appreciated the coffee and bottle of wine. We enjoyed the living room. It rained while we were there so we used the TV and streaming services. We really liked just sitting on the couch and watching people walk by. The train station about a block away. It is a cool old train and it was fun to wave at the people from our porch. This might sound intrusive but it was actually fun and the train only runs a couple times a day. If we come back, we will ride it. It was just a wonderful stay in a lovely house in a beautiful part of the world. Thank you!

    We could not have been more impressed with our stay here. The house was outfitted perfectly for us and for the dog. Everything was impeccably clean and thoughtfully laid out. I highly recommend staying here.
