When you are ready to play or just stroll, beach access is just steps away. This newly remodeled home is ideal for couples or small families.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy meals together. There are two cozy bedrooms each with queen sized beds and cottage like charm. Each room provided with extra blankets and pillows to make you comfy while you drift off to sleep listening to the hum of the ocean.

Perfection

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.

Even though not right on the ocean, the views were amazing. Clean, the kitchen had everything needed to cook meals. Teflon pots and pans have seen better days. The beds were comfortable.

Trip to the Coast

We stayed on the coast for 4 nights before dropping our kids off at college. The cottage was quaint and quiet, close to a cute city with cafes and boutique shops. The host was very responsive and we had a nice stay.

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.

What it doesn't show is that the path to the beach is quite steep. Being in our 70's that was a bit of a surprise. Husband could not get down to the beach and the only reason I could is that my 22 year old grandson walked ahead of me and we took it one step at a time.

Cute, Clean, and Cozy Beach Home

Super cute, clean, and cozy beach home. Loved the interior decor and the proximity to the beach - just a quick walk across the little neighborhood street, down a very short path, then down rock stairs to the beach. The home is very close to the little town of Rockaway, too - maybe half a mile(?) There are two queen beds in their own bedrooms, and one full bathroom. (Also a basement bathroom option, but we personally didn't need it). Fabulous ocean views from the kitchen/dining and the family room. We would stay here again.

Rockaway Vacation

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the crackerbox house. It is very close to the beach, the house was charming, quaint and well laid out. My only feedback for improvement would be to get a more robust selection of kid’s games and 2 more beach chairs. For those that like to watch movies, there was a big selection if available movies. (We never turned on the TV but presumably that all worked).

Quaint and convenient

The house was in a neighborhood of beach homes and very close to the beach. We had a nice view of the sunset through the windows. It was very clean and had all the amenities one would expect. A slight drawback was the nearby neighbors playing music rather loudly, although they turned it off by 10:00. (We were just tired and wanted an earlier bedtime.)

This house is located just steps away from the ocean. Rockaway beach, in the location we were at was not busy at all, which is what we really wanted. It’s a nice escape from Cannon Beach’s busy beach. It’s also nice that it’s about 35 mins away from Cannon Beach, so we cou

Incredible Beach Property - You Have to Stay Here!

This was an amazing property. The place itself was immaculate and looks like it has been recently updated. It looks like you are walking into a page from Home and Garden when you walk in the front door! The neighborhood is quiet and seemed very safe. Close to the main part of town but not so close that you feel like everyone is on your front step. You have ocean views from the front room and the beach access is literally across the road. The house has beach toys and lawn chairs already and there is a cute "Beach Toy Library" at the access for people to borrow as well. Super neat! One note - the climb down to the beach is a little bit of a scramble down rocks. We had a two-year-old and he did it just fine but if you need a ramp or normal stairs to get down to the beach, that access is a little further down the beach. We would happily stay here again and are eagerly waiting for another long weekend to come back!

College graduation celebration

My daughter recently graduated from university in Colorado. We decided to do a trip to celebrate. Given anywhere in the world, she wanted to come back to Rockaway Beach and stay at the Cracker Box Palace where we had stayed three years prior. The setting is idyllic and the property is perfect. I look forward to a future visit.
