About this property

Octalope 6Bd/4Ba Oceanfront, Hot tub, Arcade, Deck

This duplex is great for multi-family functions. Ocean front with 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, hot tub and an arcade! Each side has 3 beds, 2 baths, living room and a full kitchen. The units connect in the middle to open up or can be closed for more privacy.

This property is ocean front on almost an acre of land!

Octalope

An ocean front house with 6 bedrooms, 4 baths, 2 separate kitchens and an arcade on a huge lot! This is a great place for a large extended family or for several families to share, or for smaller groups that just need a lot of bedrooms.

The house is located on a quiet, dead-end street in south Rockaway Beach about half a mile south of the Twin Rocks and 1.5 miles south of downtown Rockaway. It is a side-by-side duplex with interior doors that open to combine the 2 units. Each side has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open kitchen/living/dining areas. The house was originally built in the 70’s and was updated in 2014 (new flooring, paint, etc), but we tried to keep as much of the original vintage style as possible.

The two main living areas (kitchen, dining and living) are upstairs to take full advantage of the views and there is a large deck that extends across the entire house that overlooks the ocean and Twin Rocks. Plus there are four bedrooms with queen beds and two bathrooms upstairs. Downstairs you will find two more large bedrooms, each with queen beds, sleeper sofas, full bathrooms and LCD televisions. The downstairs bedroom on the North side also has twin bunk beds in addition to the queen bed. There are also 2 fold down sleeper sofas, one in each living room. That’s enough room to sleep 14 people in beds and 2 more on sleeper sofas, for a total of 16.

The 3/4 acre property is right on the beach and the house sits about 500 feet from the ocean. A private path through our yard leads you down some stairs, across a wooden bridge over a stream and through a small wooded area to a quiet beach with a great view of the Twin Rocks. Along the path, you will also pass our new Hobbit Hole play house for the kids (or adults) to enjoy when they get tired of the beach or the arcade.

There is a hot tub on the lower deck with a view of the ocean.

There are two garages, each with retro arcades. The games will vary, but may include air hockey, ping pong, foosball, Double Shot two player basketball games, Super Mario Bros multicade (with 19 different games including Mario Bros, Joust Defender and many more), Dig Dug multicade (with 60 games including Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug and many more), shooting games such as Area 51 or House of the Dead. All games are set for free play, so no need to bring quarters. Please note that some arcade games may not be operational during your stay, these are older games that sometimes break and we can't always fix them right away.

There is enough room to park about 6 vehicles in the driveway and the north side of the house. There is no additional on street parking because the house is located on a private road.

Nice duplex in great location

This is two units with connecting door, each with a complete kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Large deck accessible to both. It was perfect for our large family group. Nice views from the deck and a pleasant stroll through a greenbelt to a fantastic beach. Everything about checkin was easy and the property manager was very responsive.

Family Yearly VACA

Our family loved the dual kitchens, dual washers and dryers, dual game rooms with arcades, hot tub, and the SOOOO beautiful beach; just a short stroll away. I was very impressed with the HOSTS communication with me and keeping us informed at all times. The view of the beach and foliage, from the deck, was awesome. Neighbors were wonderful. We even invited them to the beach with the family.

Wonderful Family Adventure

This is a fabulous home and location for large family groups. It is centrally located to enable many different short trips to local adventure spots. We recommend Cape Kiwanda and wine tasting at Nehalem Winery. There is a lot to do locally as well, and the beach at this home is very quiet and unpopulated. We felt like we were on a private beach! Our family loved the magical forest trail and the hobbit house as well. The arcades are so fun for evening and rainy day activities. We highly recommend!

Beach Stay

Communication was great. Location was great. Beach was great. Ample dishes and cooking equipment. Beds a little squeaky and firm, but okay. Everything looked clean, but we had infants crawling on the floor and it was evident the floor had been swept but not mopped. Kids enjoyed the arcade. Hot tub and connected decks were great. We had an enjoyable time and would come again.

Paradise Found

Rockaway Beach is one of our favorite locations. The beach size, cleanliness, kind people, and solitude while on the beach is unmatched. The same thing can be said about Octalope. The house was perfect for our family reunion. The two houses/sides allowed us to gather easily when we wanted to be together, but also allowed us to have the younger kids play on one side, and maintain a quiet space too. Immaculately clean and surrounded with A LOT of forest between the house and the beach. The homes around Octalope all have wild space adjoining, so it feels like you are in a acres of ferns, blackberry bushes, flowers, and trees on the way to the beach. If anything, Octalope us under-described. The team at Octalope are greet communicators before and during our stay. We didn’t have any issues, but they reminded us y email of few things to make our stay smoother. I would come back to Octalope in a heartbeat. Thanks for a magical few days in paradise.

3 Years in the making

We planned our trip 3 years ago and worked with Rachelle through the Covid closure until we were finally able to go this year. It was worth the wait. The home worked very well for our large family gathering. The two houses provided enough space and plenty to do. We road the steam train, visited the large tree, watched cheese being made, went to multiple beaches, went to an aero museum, had a fire on the beach, took a lot of walks, flew kits, skim boarded, and more. The location is excellent (right next to the main N/S highway in the Twin Rocks area. It was easy to get to Tillamook or up to Cannon Beach. We didn't take advantage of the Hot Tub but we did make good use of the game rooms. Note that Rachelle now provides towels that can be used at the beach. I would recommend this home and this location to families looking for beach access and a comfortable, clean place to sleep.

This property offered everything we needed but a BBQ grill, the house was perfect but not much of a view. The trail to the beach could use some cleaning as we all have scratches on our legs from overgrowth of blackberrie bushes and grasses. However the beach was perfect and overall we enjoyed our stay.
