We enjoyed our stay at the Cracker Box Palace. The kitchen had everything we needed! The location was right across the street from the beach which meant I could enjoy my meals while watching the ocean waves. My favorite part was the river rock shower floor!!!

Chill perfection

Stayed for four nights with adult child, their SO, and spouse. The host communicated clearly on booking, and well in advance of stay. Checking in was absolutely seamless.The house itself is both charming and designed to be easy to stay in, easy to keep clean. Kitchen included full sized refrigerator, every utensil we needed (cutting boards, wine tools, knives, coffee maker), and ample prep space. The views are spectacular, and the beach is literal steps away (access is down natural stone "stairs," so do consider this if any in your party has accessibility needs).Overall, this has been one of the best short term rentals I've ever experienced. Clean, well-maintained, intelligently appointed, easy-going but beautiful. My husband said it reminded him of the beach houses (and beach neighborhoods) of his 1970s childhood. Given the opportunity to stay here again, and longer, I'd jump at the chance.

Quiet place to stay

We spent two nights here and enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed - even shampoo and conditioner in the shower which we had forgotten. The house was very nicely decorated and had modern furnishings. We could see the beach from the front windows and it was less than a minute's walk to the beach. Would stay here again.

Beautifully Appointed and Beautiful Location

This house is a gem in an area that lacks sophisticated options! The house is cozy, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need to enjoy the shore. The beds are comfy, the kitchen is fully equipped, the tv has Roku if you want to watch a show at night. You are steps away from the beach. The town itself lacks healthy food options, so stock up on things before heading out.

Cracker Box Palace was no cracker box! It was beautifully decorated and so very clean! We felt like we were the first to stay in your home complete with all the comforts of home. Our only complaint was we were unable to stream any TV and we were not familiar with how to operate Roku.

Exactly what you expect

Perfect house at a great price. We spent a day crabbing in nehalem bay which was a short drive away. The walk to the beach is a breeze (unless you have stability problems). We plan to return to this house for our next crabbing trip. Great kitchen setup and the open layout is great for families. Thanks!

Lovely home steps from the beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house is just steps away from the beach with a great view from the common areas. The host put much thought into making the home comfortable and welcoming. It has a split heat pump to keep the home warm and cooled, as well as a fireplace for those cool wintery days. Town is just down the street and there are plenty of restaurants both in town and near by. A couple of grocery stores as well with reasonable prices for items you might have forgotten. We will definitely return.

So terrific! Cracker Box Palace is special. Comfortable, inviting and user friendly. Please don’t tell anyone about Rockaway Beach. It is a treasure with plenty of restaurant opinions and friendly people. Plus you can visit the busy tourist attractions to the north and south.
