We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in unit #1! The covered deck with ocean view & easy beach access was just what we were looking for. The unit was very clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, very cozy & fun decor. The check in / check out process was easy & our host was quick to communicate with us for a few questions we had. We definitely recommend unit#1 at The Blue Octopus and will be back!

The location on the second floor with a sun room facing east and a deck and living room facing the ocean was excellent. We love The Blue Octopus #1. We were a little bothered that the kitchen was lacking a few things. There was no set of measuring cups and we expected the host to supply a little sugar. We didn't know we had to bring our own. A heads up to the owner/manager. The bathroom sink drains really slowly. Maybe ther is a clog in the sink trap.

Great Beach Stay

This place was wonderful. Perfect spot for exploring the beach, clean & the views were amazing. The only thing I wished was different was that the mattress in the main bedroom was in bad shape, which was not in keeping with the quality of everything else. I’d still stay here again though,

Pretty good overall. Left a bag of unopened jerky about 100 worth from local factory. Call 1.5 hrs after checkout and they had already started eating it and taking the reat home. Somewhat understandable but be awate if you leave it you lost it.

Unique and fun place!

Really interesting property! Clean and really cool outside/inside room with lots of natural light. We were there during a rainstorm and it was lovely. My only complaint is the bed in the master bedroom, it needs to be replaced as it’s very soft and didn’t lend itself to a very restful sleep for me. Great kitchen and bathroom too.

Blue octopus 1 was a great place for us. We went crabbing and the kitchen was a bit limited, but overall got the job done. Comfortable with a great view/proximity to the beach.

Great location, good house, small quirks

We enjoyed our stay here, enjoyed the small town and the location, the house was remodeled to be cute. Our only complaint was that the beds are sunken in/too soft and caused some back pain.

We stayed at the Blue Octopus last year when there were last minutes changes in a wedding we were planning to attend. The apartment on the second floor of a building near the beach was large, had lots of windows and had a covered deck with a clear half view of the beach and ocean. We only had to stroll a 1/4 block and we were on the beach. We went back a second time and were quite pleased. It rained a lot (it was April) but we loved cozying up, reading, playing games and visiting the cedar grove (just down the road....spectacular) and on a clear-ish day drove to Cape Meares. Rockaway is a typical beach town, but this particular rental was so enjoyable. AND we had difficulties getting into the property. We called the owner. No response. We called the manager and she was there within five minutes and the spirit of helpfulness. She helped sell us on this property.
