For more than a century, Rockaway Beach has been a popular destination for those seeking a relaxed vacation in a quaint coastal city. You can experience the area's well-documented charms yourself when you stay at this four-bedroom, dog-friendly home, which features a private hot tub and plenty of equipment for outdoor activities in addition to being close to the beach.

Just two miles south of the Rockaway Beach business district via the Oregon Coast Highway, this vacation rental provides a quiet location to return to at night without sacrificing the convenience of being close to shopping and dining. The beach is just a block from your front door, giving you all the incentive you need to spend a good few days with your toes in the sand.

Inside, the home is modern and welcoming. Vaulted ceilings, wood floors, and an open layout make the main floor feel spacious and sophisticated.

In the living room, comfy leather couches surround a gas fireplace and a large, wall-mounted flatscreen TV. Put your feet up while you browse the cable channels, or choose a movie from the DVD library for the whole group to enjoy. Don't worry if you can't agree on a movie - WiFi is available throughout the home, so everyone is sure to stay entertained.

Home cooks will rejoice at the well-appointed kitchen, which features updated stainless steel appliances, a central island, and convenient extras including a coffee grinder and a Keurig coffee machine. Whether you're cooking a quick brunch or just putting together a picnic to take along to the beach, the dishwasher makes cleanup a breeze.

Out in the beautiful backyard, which includes a fenced dog run, you'll find the perfect setup for a barbecue, with a gas grill and patio furniture for lounging. Play a quick game of horseshoes while you wait for your food to cook, or explore the driftwood fort. For dessert, roast marshmallows for s'mores in the firepit, then climb into the private hot tub for a soothing soak.

When it's time to turn in for the night, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home can accommodate up to 10 guests. There are two bedrooms on the first floor. One features a queen-size bed and a twin-size daybed with a twin trundle underneath. The other first-floor bedroom has a full-size bed. Upstairs there is a king bed and a full bed.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome at this vacation rental with an additional nightly pet fee. There's also a private washer/dryer, so don't worry about unanticipated spills derailing your vacation plans!

One of this home's unique features is the abundance of outdoor equipment available for guest use. Snag the wagon out of the garage and load it up with beach chairs, toys, and the portable charcoal grill and head to the beach for hours of fun in the sand. Select from the surfboards and wet suits (a variety of sizes provided), plus boogie boards, kayaks, fishing gear, life vests, and crab pots. Rinse off in the outdoor shower!

Once you've had your fill of ocean fun, head north to Jetty Fishery and try your hand at catching your own dinner, whether it's Coho salmon or Dungeness crab. But don't worry if the fish aren't biting - there are plenty of delicious restaurants in Rockaway Beach for you to pick from.
