"Beach Sanctuary"
This is a fantastic house in Rockaway Beach, OR. While it's not on the beach, the trail is only about 100 feet from the front of the house, and then it's perhaps a hundred feet more to the sand. Certainly close enough to run back and get the kids' sunglasses you forgot. The expanse of beach is large with soft sand.
We were there in August, and there were only ever a couple of other groups close-by. The water is cold, however. Some wetsuits are provided - our kids never felt the cold.
The house is comfortable and fantastically stocked. Video games, tons of movies, towels, sheets, pillows, some pantry items (loved the hot chocolate and mayonnaise packets), a fire pit, wood, kindling, and, most importantly, skewers for roasting marshmallows. There are also boogie boards and beach toys at the house.
The city of Rockaway Beach is a quiet town - much less for tourism than some of the larger destinations. Tillamook is only about 10-15 minutes away, though, so it's quite easy to run to the grocery store or eat in larger restaurants if that's your preference. We are timeshare/vacation condo rental veterans, and this is one of the best places we've stayed. You will not be disappointed!
