About this property

Crabalope · Crabalope Oceanfront, 5 bd/3 ba, Hot tub, Arcade

Amazing views of the ocean right in front of the Twin Rocks! Two cottages with a common porch are rented together with a combined 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2 kitchens on a large ocean front lot with a Hot Tub and an Arcade!

This home is ocean front! Just walk through the front yard and you'll be at the beach in 30 seconds!

Ocean Front. Amazing Views. Arcade. Hot Tub.

5 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, 2 Kitchens.

Amazing views of the ocean right in front of the Twin Rocks! Two separate cottages with a common porch are rented together with a combined 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, 2 separate kitchen/living/dining rooms on a large ocean front lot with a hot tub and an Arcade!

Our oceanfront beach house is on a big, private lot in south Rockaway Beach located right in front of the Twin Rocks. The house consists of 2 units with separate entrances that are connected by a common porch. Each unit has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen, dining and living rooms with amazing views of the ocean. The 5th bedroom, 3rd bath and laundry room are located downstairs and accessed through a separate outside entrance.

Sliding glass doors in the dining rooms lead to a large deck in the back of the house with a hot tub and panoramic views of the ocean and Twin Rocks. A private path leads through our yard directly to the beach right in front of the Rocks.

The house even has its own retro arcade downstairs in the garage to entertain the kids (and adults) when the weather is bad. The game selection will vary and may include foosball, ping pong and arcade games such as Asteroids Deluxe and Donkey Kong multicade (60 classic games in 1). 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.

The 5 bedrooms each have queen beds and there are 2 sleeper sofas in the living rooms and one more sleeper sofa in the 5th bedroom (10 people in Queen beds plus 5 people on sleepers/sofas for 15 total).
With 3 separate spaces (North Unit, South Unit and downstairs 5th bed/bath), this is a great place for an extended family gathering or a multi-family getaway or for any large group that wants to vacation together, but still have some private space.

There is enough parking in the front for about 6 cars.

Lots of privacy in our quiet residential neighborhood. Private yard with an amazing view and a path to the beautiful 7 mile stretch of beach in front of Twin Rocks.

Restaurants and shops are located one mile north of the house, a 2 minute drive or a 20 minute walk along the beach.

Tillamook Bay is 2 miles south and Nehalem bay is 5 miles north and there are several lakes right in town, so lots of fishing and crabbing opportunities close by.

No public transit, but we're only about a mile south of the main street with lots of cute boutiques and restaurants.

Family reunion
We enjoyed our stay there at Crabalope. The patio was wonderful, and the walk to the beach easy. The grandchildren enjoyed the arcade room and the adults the hot tube.

Hot tub and Sunsets at the Beach
Our family had a fun time. There was a nice mix of relaxing and activities close by. The big ceder trailhead was just two minutes away. The hot tub on the deck overlooking the sunset and ocean was the main perk. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. We only wish we were RIGHT on the beach for my 78 year old mom, and that we could have a fire on the property, because the beach was very windy the night we tried to have one.
