Watch the Boats Go By at Mariner’s Rest. A Wonderful Waterfront Family Home

Mariner's Rest is the perfect place to create family memories at the Oregon Coast. Fantastic water views overlooking the entry to Tillamook Bay and out to the ocean. Located 4 miles south of Rockaway Beach, Oregon. Enjoy the nautical vibes of this extensively remodeled beach cottage, now our large family home. Walk to the Three Graces and Barview Tidal pools. Try your hand crabbing at Kelley's or the Jetty Fishery nearby. Explore Garibaldi, Manzanita, Tillamook, Cannon Beach and beyond!
This is our family beach house that we use often and are still actively working on to improve. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! The house is well stocked and we invite you to cook up a storm if desired or enjoy nearby restaurants.
The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad goes right by the house and kids of all ages enjoy waving as it passes! It only travels during the day and seasonally.
We have 5 bedrooms on three floors so everyone can spread out. There are quite a few stairs so keep that in mind if it could be an issue. There is a bathroom on each floor (The downstairs toilet has a pump motor which will one day be remodeled but for now it is a bit loud).
The sunroom is an amazing space to sit and watch the water, play a game, or read. We think it is the best room in the house.
Lots of parking available, including boats/RV. You cannot sleep in the RV parked per the county rules but room to park is available.
We are on Hwy 101 so there is road noise. Some people don't notice it, others have had issues sleeping. Bring some ear plugs if you think you may need them. FYI- it is a 3 level house with many stairs. 10 stairs lead up to main entry and one set of interior stairs is curvy. It is waterfront and there is a semi consistent foghorn on the end of the jetty at the ocean that you can hear.
The Coast Guard often practices right in front of the house. Keep your eyes peeled and you may even see a pod of Orcas!
We did add some exterior only cameras- FYI. One the entrance and one looking towards the side parking/boat.

Family Get Together

The kids really enjoyed watching the train go by and waving at the passengers. The small beaches/wading pools were perfect for them as well. It was nice sitting in the sun room and being able to eat at one big table for family meals. The property was clean and as expected.

The best crabbing/fishing property

The set up here is awesome for people who come to the coast and have a boat. Plenty of space to back in a 22’ foot. Lots of space left for two more rigs Lots of space for cleaning and cooking fish and crab outdoors. We spent probably more than half our time outside in the little outdoor cooking area visiting and cooking crab. Inside is great. So much room for multiple couples or guests.

Family Time

Location was great and having space for vehicles was convenient. I wish I would’ve known how many stairs are involved in this 3 level home as my elderly in laws were traveling with me and had some difficulties navigating. The upstairs bathroom shower needed a good scrubbing, other than that, the house was clean and comfortable. The main living area was spacious and provided a great space for us to be together and visit. The train coming by was fun for all, and the view was amazing.

VIEW!!

There is a sun room at this house that is amazing! Sit and watch the jetty entrance and enjoy breakfast at the same time, Peggy and Steve were more than accommodating even bringing down a high chair for the littlest one. This location was fantastic. Kitchen is way better stocked than most we have rented (and we have rented a lot) we will be back!!
