Saltair- Charming beach side cottage (#1694)

Rockaway Beach, Oregon
 

Description of the Rockaway Beach vacation cottage rental

PayPal Payments accepted.
870 S Breaker Street
With two bedrooms and a sleeping loft, ours is a very sweet family-owned beach cottage located in a quiet neighborhood of Rockaway Beach Oregon. The beach access across the street has a paved path to the shore of the Pacific Ocean.

Completely renovated, it feels like a new home inside a quaint turn of the century structure. A pleasing blue and white color scheme throughout with light colored wood accents. Sleeping loft, skylights and vaulted ceiling in the living room keeps this 1200 sq ft. home feeling open and roomy. Wireless access available for those who like to stay in touch. A side terrace has been added with an outdoor chimenea. It is so well equipped that you need only bring a bag of groceries to enjoy this vacation getaway!

Winter or summer, this is the place to stay. A seven mile stretch of sandy beach is sparsely populated with a view of Twin Rocks jutting out from the ocean. The Oregon Coast is a great destination whether it is a stormy winter night or a clear blue kite-flying day.

Take a short drive south to the docks of Garibaldi and buy your crab or fish dinner directly from the day's catch of the local fishermen.

This house is limited to 8 people.

Area Description

If you can tear yourself away from the cottage and the lonely beach, a drive north on Highway 101 leads to breath-taking views of the ocean, quaint antique shops, state parks with paths back down to the beach and coastal towns with fun shopping. Going South, cruise through fishing towns and farmland, visit a lighthouse or a waterfall. 12 miles south, Tillamook offers a very well attended tour of the Cheese Factory, The Latimer Quilt and Textile Center with changing museum exhibits and a fascinating air museum with a collection of many historic planes in a Blimp Hangar. A drive into the Tillamook forest gives you access to trails and a new forestry center. Or stay closer to the cottage and enjoy walks into the center of town to enjoy the friendly businesses right in Rockaway Beach.

 Perfect Little Cottage!!!, September 15, 2009
By Annie (Kalispell, MT)
This place was perfect for our stay. It was right near the beach, which the kids loved. It was decorated very nicely and is obviously taken care of. It very easily became our home away from home. We can't wait to go back there!
 
 Dreamy Vacation, July 22, 2009
By Karren Wilde (Hillsboro, OR)
This was our third time visiting Saltair, and it is always a wonderful experience. I love how the whole home is decorated in dreamy blues and whites...perfectly complimenting the serine environment outside. What a retreat!
 
 Exceptional accomodations, June 29, 2009
By Margaret Gaspich (Bainbridge Island, WA)
We were extremely pleased with the Saltair cottage. It was very cozy, yet very roomy and clean. The distance to the beach was nominal. We would definitely recommend it.
 
 Saltair is our new annual vacation destination!, June 22, 2009
By Corinne Spranger (Seattle, WA USA)
My daughter and I just returned from a week's stay at Saltair Cottage. Let me say that we were beyond impressed; the experience fully exceeded our expectations, and they were high already! Charming, clean, spacious, comfortable, well-maintained, beautifully landscaped, completely equipped with anything & everything. We will be back next year!
 
 Saltair cottage, May 6, 2009
By Gail Kelton (Kingsville, Ontario Canada)
My mom (86 years old) and myself just spent 5 days at Saltair. What a cute and cozy little cottage. I loved having a thermastat in each room and the heated bench in the kitchen. It was a perfect spot for exploring both north and south along the coast of Oregon. We stocked up at Fred Meyer on our way from the Portland airport and were able to make fast, easy suppers at the end of full days of exploring and picnic lunches to take with us. We had terrific nights sleep on the most comfortable beds. There was so much to enjoy right at the cottage, but we were on the go most of the time. We had great weather and our pictures turned out fabulous. The coast is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The 3 cape scenic loop drive from Tillamook was fantastic. A volunteer was at one lookout with a telescope to show us birds nesting on the rocks. Oregon is beautiful and the people are very friendly.
 
 Loved Saltair!, October 28, 2008
By Ashley Wilhelm (Portland, OR)
We stayed at Saltair Thursday night and left Saturday morning during Mid-October. The weather was amazing all weekend and the cottage was wonderful. The cottage is kept in great condition and the lawn is immaculate. In my opinion, the best looking cottage on the street. The cottage was very clean and included all amenities and then some. We would definitely stay here again. Overall great experience.
 
 Relaxing home by the sea, July 28, 2008
By Kim Harmon (Spokane, WA)
This was our second time staying at Saltair and we found it to be even better than the first. This is an impeccably maintained home in a great location. We will definitely be back. Thank you very much.
 
 Charming for sure!, July 14, 2008
By Rochelle Balzer (Portland, OR USA)
My selfish side wants to keep Saltair our own secret, but the truth is, our second trip to Saltair was even better than our first...which was wonderful! The garden was gorgeous,the path to the beach was magical and convenient. The cottage is very clean and well cared for, with such a lovely and tasteful decor. Everything we needed was provided, even a juicer for fresh squeezed orange juice! The kids loved it as much as my husband and I. It is perfect for either one family, two families or just one couple's get away. If you ever wanted to stay in one of those Thomas Kincaid cottages,this is it!
 
 WOW!!, June 20, 2008
By Terry Zimmerman (Nampa, Idaho USA)
This place was absolutely wonderful for our 25th anniversary. We were here for an entire week and not a disappointing moment went by. You made our stay here absolutely the best and we have spent some time at the World Mark in Depoe bay, Seaside, Newport, Yachats, Bridal Veil and so on inland as well. This was the best. I would definitely recommend this place to any one that would want a nice place to stay. We found the beach a quiet and wonderful place to go. We also appreciated the quiet street that it was on and just a block from one of the busiest highways in the Western portion of America. Thank you The Zimmerman's
 
 Wish you were here..., May 2, 2008
By Melonee R Clark (Marcola, OR USA)
The cottage is quaint and wonderful. Very clean and cozy. Just a short walk to the beach. Wonderful for a family or just two. The owners were easy to work with. We will be back.
 
 Comfy and cozy, April 2, 2008
By Karen Hoover (Vancouver, WA USA)
We had a great long weekend at the Saltair, two families with children. The room upstairs is perfect for the kids, and the two queen bedrooms were great for parents. We were happy with how clean and neat the house was, also a very short walk to the beach. Overall i would recommend.
 
 Mullan, October 31, 2007
By Nina Mullan (Portland, Or)
If you want a sure thing, this is it! There is no one I wouldn't recommend this perfect vacation house to. It is large enough for two families to share, with two equal bedrooms and a loft with enough room for all the children, while also being small enough for a romantic weekend with a loved one. This home doesn't lack for anything, including Shout it Out, kites and charcoal, and to top it off the fabulous beach is right there, literally, after a short walk down a meandering paved path. I'd recommend you go, and I suspect you'll go back again and again just as we have.
 
 A Perfect Getaway Cottage , October 3, 2007
By Deanna Gann (Scappoose, OR USA)
Saltair is a charming, peaceful retreat, inside and out! Whether sitting on the patio enjoying the wonderful landscaping and a nice cozy fire, or relaxing in the open and airy livingroom, Saltair is sure to please everyone. My daughters enjoyed having there own space upstairs in the loft and we all loved having two bathrooms. The eat-in kitchen is a bonus and everyone loves the 'heated' bench at the table! The is a very well appointed house, it has everything you need and is a stones throw from the beach. You won't be disappointed.
 
 a treasure, July 27, 2006
By Rochelle Balzer (portland or)
Cozy,clean,light,airy,a treasure. This sweet cottage is well cared for and in turn we felt well cared for during our stay. We found many extra touches that gave us delight and warm feelings. The short path to the beach is beautiful, as is the beach itself. Our nine and ten year old girls loved the sleeping loft,window seat to sit on and play games or to read,the kites and beach toys, and we all loved having two bathrooms. The quaint kitchen was charming and well stocked. We are looking forward to a return trip!
 
 great house, May 18, 2005
By A renter (portland)

 Completely Relaxing Beach House, May 18, 2005
By A renter (Portland, OR)
My staff conducted our retreat at this beach house in May, and it was absolutely perfect. The house had everything we could possibly need and then some. We cooked, listened to music, watched a few films, flew a kite on the beach... We will definitely be back.
 
 Beautiful place for a getaway!, May 18, 2005
By Sara Carmona (Portland, OR)
Saltair is just lovely - spacious and bright with the sounds of the ocean lulling you to sleep. With the water a stone's throw away you can spend time on the beach, patio, or the cozy kitchen all within the same hour. This is the perfect place for a personal vacation or work retreat. Tastefully decorated in shades of blue it feels like the coastal cabin you have always wanted. Rockaway is a great town with the summer jazz festival, kite festival, friendly people, and so much to do at your doorstep. I highly reccomend Saltair.
 
 Fantastic cabin, amazing price, March 29, 2005
By Elizabeth Archer (Seattle, WA)
I don't have enough good things to say about this place. It is spacious, brand-new remodel job, excellent decorations (so beachy!) literally next to the beach, well-stocked kitchen, everything you could possibly want. It rained while we were there and we hardly noticed. The cabin heated up quickly and had a heater in every room, and two bathrooms which was key since the rain didn't stop us from going to the beach. I would highly recommend this place to anyone- we are in our 20s and loved it, and I know if my parents were to come they would love it too. Definitely planning on going back!
