About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Forested Coastal Paradise With Views, Epic Game Room, Shuffle Board, Ping Pong, 1/2 Mile to Ocean

Tranquil by the Pond is the perfect escape. Sitting just a half mile up from the beach you have your own wooded enclave, complete with pond, views, movie room, and epic game room.

Upon arriving you will enjoy the ample parking at the roundabout at the home overlooking the hills and valley below. As you enter this incredible home you are greeted with foyer that opens up into an enormous open floor plans with the living, dining, and kitchen together. Just beyond is an expansive 600 square foot porch with forest and skyline views. Every piece of décor inside and out was curated for our quests to find the perfect blend of comfort and style.

This main level also has a spacious primary bedroom with attached bath and walk-in closet. The closet does have a crib for the families travelling with little ones. For those that need, there is laundry available on this floor as well. Upstairs there are another two bedrooms and full bathroom as well.

One of the jewels of this home is the bottom level game room. It is truly epic. The American Shuffle Board game is always a highlight and playable by all ages. There is a ping pong table with spectator seating. If you want to chill and game a bit there is a poker table for you to try your luck at, and a sauna if you need to steam away any losses. For family time, take a break and watch a show in the theater style room with the whole group. There are almost too many amenities to list here!

If all of that wasn't enough, there is an additional two bedrooms, and a kitchen within the detached dwelling unit. This helps provide ultimate flexibility for families and groups and options for sleeping arrangements.

It is virtually impossible to find any other home in the region with so much to offer that sits barely a one minute drive to the beach as well as downtown Rockaway Beach. There are numerous options for groceries, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment just a mile or two away. Please reach out if you have any questions at all. Tranquil by the Pond is an experience unlike any other.

Great house with fun recreational activities

Fabulous house for our multi generational family vacation! The kitchen has everything you need for making meals including some seasonings in the pantry. The grill and outdoor seating overlook the beautiful large yard and pond. For clarity, the ping pong table and sauna are in the garage and accessed right through the laundry room and kitchen. The shuffle board, poker table (with all the supplies) and theater room (with DVD player and lots of DVDs) are in the basement of main house with separate entry under the deck. All of these were super fun by all ages to use any time of day. The ADU is in the separate building/shop with the two bedrooms (there is folding door on one that you cannot see in the photos). There is kitchen, TV, and sleeper sofa there. Laundry also there. No smell noted as stated in previous reviews. The main house is spacious and comfy furniture for hanging out and relaxing There are a few games, puzzles and kids toys in a cabinet. The Roku on the large TV works for your own streaming services. We would stay again! Staff were responsive to any needs.

Sibling fun

This is a nice quiet location. We saw deer on morning walks to the beach. Enjoyed the Tillamook factory and had a great crab melt at Old Oregon Smokehouse. The old forest walk is beautiful! The train ride was fun and informative.

The main house is lovely but the ADU...

The main house is lovely - comfy beds, fun theater/game room, gourmet kitchen, great living room, short walk to beach. However, the ADU has a very moldy smell and one of the beds had sugar ants and small spiders in it. I reported this issue to the property manager and owner but received little more than 'sorry, we will look into it'. I highly recommend the main house but the ADU certainly did not live up to the online description. It is priced to sleep 12, but it really only sleeps 8 because of the ADU issues.

Main House is Amazing

This house is in a great spot in Rockaway. Walkable to the beach, and with lots of space for multiple families. The main house with the three bedrooms is awesome- great spaces for groups, well-equipped kitchen, fun ping pong table and shuffle board. The bonus house with the extra two bedrooms was not as great. The beds were uncomfortable and there was definitely a mold issue that was not new (I counted 6 air fresheners in the small space). I would give the main house 10 stars, and my family loved it, unfortunately as the reviewer, I stayed in the bonus house and definitely had a different experience.

Rockaway Treasure

What an incredible house. We have been staying in Rockaway for over 40 years and renting houses out each year. This by far has been our favorite. We could not have asked for a better place. the parking was great. The cleanliness of the house was outstanding Everything we needed was available to us. The beach was a short walk also into town. We will for sure rent this house again. FIVE STARS! The Olin Clan

Great games, lovely home

We loved staying at this house! It was perfect for our family of 5 adults and their friends. The shuffleboard, ping pong and poker table were a great hit. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed making a good many of our meals throughout our stay. Beaches are within easy walking distance. Would recommend this house for family gatherings. Plenty of choices of fun activities at the house and in the area.

Beautiful house

We enjoyed our stay, in the game room aka shuffleboard where we spent most of our time as it was raining. The outside light was tricky on the stairs but we managed. The bed we're great. The outside apartment had a bad smell all I did before my friends showed was add some plug-ins and closed the laundry room door. All in all, it was a good stay.

Loved the cozy living/family room

My favorite things about this property were the comfortable beds, large and comfortable living/family room, spacious kitchen, and large dining room table. We love to cook and enjoyed the kitchen which is well stocked, but the gas burners are inadequate. The location is convenient for a walk to the beach and the surroundings are pretty and very peaceful. I must have missed the part in the description about not being able to access the game room from inside the house. Not a huge issue, but since it was raining, we did not feel like going out and around very many times.

Everything was great except there was dirty dishes left in the dresser of the master bedroom.

Stove cooktop doesn’t get hot enough. Takes forever to cook on. Plumbing problems. Wonderful home but not worth the money for the problems.

I liked that this property was far enough from all the tourists but close enough to everything. kids loved that this property had probably an acre or two to run around. The movie theater was a plus. Overal we liked the property and the amenities it was offering. the only con thing i can think about is the main kitchen had propane as a cooking source. so it took a while to heat up the soup for our group.

Main house is great, guest house stinks

The main house was very nice, however had we known the smell/state of the guest house we would have found a different place to stay. They list the home as being able to sleep 12 but the mildew like smell in the guest house portion made the property a 6 guest sleeping situation. So my group had to find other unique sleeping arrangements to avoid the bad smell that was pretty awful in the guest house. The property management was nice enough seeming , they sent someone out promptly to assess the smell, they agreed it didn't smell good and apologized but didn't do anything for us to compensate for the lack of beds or misrepresented listing size of the home. They said they would get back to me after my stay but have since been silent. So I have to leave a low star review, I would not stay here again for the price. If they charged for a 6 guest arrangement and we had a smaller group I'd consider staying in the main house again in the future. But be leary of the guest house.

Wonderful weekend stay

We had the best time at this house in Rockaway Beach. The town wasn’t as crowded as some other ocean cities which was nice! The house was extremely well-appointed and the kitchen was lovely. The beds were comfortable and we loved having a crib ready for our baby. The kids loved the game room and the whole family had a blast playing ping pong. It was a joy!
