Magnificent Oceanfront Retreat, Pet Friendly, Single Level, Deck and Fire-Pit w/ Views, EV Charging
Welcome to The Little Sand Castle, a charming, retro oceanfront retreat in Rockaway Beach! This cozy, single-level home is filled with nostalgic beach décor and authentic details, creating the perfect setting for a laid-back, relaxing escape with EPIC views of the Pacific Ocean.
With three bedrooms, there's plenty of space to invite family and friends to share in the coastal magic. Inside, the living room’s large picture windows frame breathtaking ocean views, while the cozy Duralog fireplace adds warmth and charm. The adjacent dining/sitting room, complete with comfy seating, offers panoramic views of the coastline, including the iconic Twin Rocks, and invites you to watch the waves roll in from every angle.
Step outside onto the spacious deck for unobstructed views of the ocean over the sand and beach grass. The outdoor firepit takes you even closer to the surf, allowing for memorable nights of s’mores under a starlit sky.
Just beyond the backyard, scramble down the rocks to miles of sandy beach, perfect for long strolls, beachcombing, and enjoying the soothing sound of the surf. The vibrant town of Rockaway Beach is nearby, offering smoked salmon, unique shops, and the chance to ride a historic steam engine to Garibaldi and back.
Venture a bit further, and you’ll discover the charming coastal towns of Manzanita, Cannon Beach, and Seaside to the north, or Tillamook to the south, with plenty of stunning viewpoints, capes, and hiking trails along the way.
Embrace the beauty and tranquility of the Oregon Coast—book your stay at The Little Sand Castle, where the ocean is yours to enjoy!

This place is the epitome of cute beach bungalow. There were 2 of us so we each had our own room. (Sleeps 7) More than 3 (adult) people would feel a bit cramped in our opinion.This updated property has been done extremely well!Great location. Easy drive to nearby towns etc.If you’re coming from Portland and need to stock up there is a Fredmeyer grocery store in Tillamook that we recommend stopping at on your way. The groceries around Rockaway are minimal and expensive.Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing views and beach access
Loved our stay! The windows overlooking the ocean were amazing and the rental was cozy and well kept. Our only recommendation would be for firmer mattresses on the queen beds, but that might just be a personal preference.

Perfect Getaway
Whenever we stay in Rockaway, we pack to retreat into our location and get away from it all. This spot is nicely decorated with an unbelievable view of the beach, ocean, and sunset. Exploring the kitchen, we found there to be more than enough pots, pans, utensils, and dishes to cook all our meals. I hope to return again soon!
