Blue Horizon by AvantStay | Panoramic Views of the Ocean w/ Entertainers Patio

Welcome to Blue Horizon, an AvantStay home!

A perfect retreat for those looking to enjoy sweeping vistas of the Oregon Coast. This home’s dramatic, 180-degree ocean view from the hills above Rockaway Beach will show you hues of blue that you’ve never seen before. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the beautiful panorama from both the upstairs Primary Bedroom and the main floor living room. Blue Horizon lets you enjoy complete tranquility while being less than a mile from town and the beach. An on-site EV charger ensures your vehicle is ready for every adventure.

Once featured in Architectural Digest, the house offers an open concept floor plan that is perfect for relaxing with family and friends. The main floor includes an efficient kitchen, a spacious living room with a wood-burning stove, a dining table where every guest can enjoy gorgeous views, and a deck ideal for alfresco dining.

Blue Horizon comfortably sleeps up to six guests. The Primary Bedroom on the top floor has a king-sized bed with an en suite bathroom, deck, and cable-equipped TV. One bedroom on the lower level has a queen bed as well as a TV and DVD/VCR player, while the other has five bunks and a wall of books, toys, puzzles, and games. A bathroom with a shower is also located on the lower level.

Rockaway Beach is known for its seven-mile soft sand beach and funky shops and restaurants. You can kayak on Lake Lytle or hike nearby Neahkahnie Mountain. You may also decide to visit the Tillamook Cheese Factory, Cape Meares Lighthouse, Three Graces Tide Pool, Nehalem Bay, and the bohemian town of Manzanita—all just a quick car ride away. A short drive further takes you to Cannon Beach, where you will find the famous Haystack Rock, many beautiful art galleries, stylish shops, and gourmet restaurants. By choosing to stay in Rockaway Beach, you’re central to so much!

The two decks at Blue Horizon are the highlight of everyone’s stay. You can BBQ, sunbathe, read your new favorite book, or just visit with old friends or family. This property’s spectacular views are a wonderful way to enjoy the beauty of the Oregon Coast.

I have stayed in several house rentals before and non of them have been as clean as this one. We wished we would have stayed longer. Everyone was very accommodating and we had easy access to everything long in advance of our arrival so we had not trouble getting there or getting in to the house. One of my favorite places I have stayed!!! Highly recommend this place!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was very clean and well appointed. Starfish Vacation rentals were very professional and Danna gave personal attention to us. The views were unsurpassed and we enjoyed our time just hanging out as you never tire of that view. The 2 balconies are a real plus and we even were able to enjoy a couple hours the end of Dec on a sunny afternoon out on the upper balcony. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing getaway with incredible views.

My Go To Spot

A cozy place I visit a couple times each year. Aptly named but also worthy of the name The Eyrie. This place is all about the fantastic view. I feel like an eagle perched in his eyrie when sitting on the deck or dining at the table next to the large window overlooking the deck. Has all the basic amenities. It's clean and the small galley kitchen has been fine for preparing dinners. The neighborhood is quiet, upscale and safe. Takes only 5 minutes to drive down to the beach. I stop in Pacific City to pick up oysters to have on the half-shell on the deck. Always a comfortable and relaxing visit.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful views from this lovely home. It is breathtaking. Views from every room. From the moment you step through the front door you feel at home. They have supplied this home with everything you will every need down to a garlic press that I rarely find in rentals. I usually buy one and leave. Very clean and the sound of the ocean waves lull you to sleep every night. We loved our stay. Beautiful.

I wouldn't go back to Rockaway Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house we rented was very nice - compact, simple to use, etc. The views of the ocean were wonderful, as were the balconies. The furniture was not as comfortable as we would have wanted (especially the sofa) and both queen beds gave us backaches. Otherwise, apart from a need to upgrade the furnishings (I know this is sort of a budget rental)I didn't have any problems.

A great vacation spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We wanted to stay on the Oregon coast and invite family members to visit us rather than visit them one after another and spend our vacation driving. To our surprise, they all wanted to come at the same time so they could visit each other. We were worried about that, but the Blue Horizon was perfect. It provided a lovely space to visit and view the coastline and yet couples could plan their own daily adventures separately. The space is comfortable and thoughtfully furnished. Everyone was impressed by the ocean views from every room--especially the family member who couldn't walk on the beach.

Stand alone master bedroom suite on top floor with amazing views. Bed should be replaced (especially with a king size)...told it's next on the list to be replaced. Only 2 of us, so we did not use the bottom floor except for bathroom & laundry...slight mildew order needs to be addressed. Overall, unexpectedly very happy with the rental!

Bedroom privacy is limited due to open floor plan. Only one bedroom has a door. The master bedroom is a loft without a door. The bathrooms do have doors. The house is small but feels spacious inside. It is exactly as pictured on the web site. I would describe the decor as serene.

The view could not have been more spectacular!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We needed a quiet get-away. We didn't want lots of traffic or crowds. I have been battling cancer the past year and just needed a "retreat" for some family time together. This home was a dream come true for us. The little extras (binoculars, telescope, puzzles, kitchen items, comfy beach décor) made us feel at home immediately. The drive was steep -- yes. I made my husband drive in and out of the neighborhood before I would get behind the wheel--lol. The view was our favorite -- we enjoyed sitting on the decks, laying in beds with the windows open to the breezes, and the big windows that made viewing the coastline possible from the inside. It was hard to leave. We would love to come back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow! Our stay at Blue Horizon-Sept. 16-21, 2014- was the last leg of our journey west. This house has amazing views in every direction. Not for the faint of heart if you are vertically impaired--the drive to & from the house is challenging, & the parking is not ideal. Also not handicapped accessible. That said-the view is worth it. We had perfect weather, the split design was perfect for us, as we were treating our son & future daughter-in-law to a few days at the beach. They had plenty of space and privacy in the lower level, & we loved the master suite. We made the trip to the uncrowded beach daily, enjoyed the company of a family of deer below us, drinks on the deck at sunset & enjoyed every minute of our time at Rockaway. Would most certainly recommend this rental for those looking for place away from the usual crowded beaches we encounter on the east coast. Dana was a pleasure to work with. A great experience-thanks!!

Amazing views, great location!

We absolutely loved our stay in this home. The views are fantastic from all over the house; we could be inside and still enjoying beautiful views when it was cool. We had everything we needed for our adult family of 4, including very comfortable beds. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you for the small things as well: salt and pepper, coffee, games, shampoo, etc. Those little things make a difference for traveling guests!

Breathtaking views

I stayed with my wife and 3 kids for a nice fall break vacation. It was a comfortable place for our small family. As you can see in the pictures of the property there are many windows everywhere on the top two floors. This made for a very scenic stay. My wife and I enjoyed many cups of coffee in the morning and glasses of wine at night while sitting on the deck which has a wonderful view of the tree filled hills and the ocean. The kids bedrooms were on the 1st floor and 3rd floor was the master bedroom. The lack of door to the 3rd floor made it less private than I would have preferred. Overall the stay was very enjoyable.

Great Place to Watch a Storm

This was an incredible property to watch a winter storm from. The house had everything we needed to keep warm and cook for a few days during a winter storm. The beds are comfortable and so was the couch. We thought that there would be firewood for the stove (there was not) and the local agent delivered some wood and wine. We will defiantly be back!

Blue Horizon Property

This is a quirky, townhouse style rental but in no way is this a "luxury rental". While the check-in and property management are excellent (and we may consider another upscale rental from this business), the property itself is old - the finishes/furniture are tired and the bottom level smelled musty. The views are the best part of this rental - they are amazing - however, most windows don't open to allow cross ventilation, there is no AC and most of the windows lacked window coverings making evening TV viewing nearly impossible (sun sets very late on the west coast)!
