Something to consider....

Selling girl scout cookies is tough.

I remember standing outside grocery stores being rejected over and over and over again. The rude people who would blurt "NO!" without you even saying anything to them.

Or the people who simply pretended you didn't exist, deliberately looking away the entire time.

Do you know how much impact that neg*tive behavior has on a 7, 9, 10, 12 year old girl?

I was a girl scout when I was in early grade school and I made a promise right then that I would never be one of those rude adults.
Every time I see girl scouts selling cookies I look at them directly, I smile and say "Hi!". And either I buy a box, or I don't. When I don't buy a box, I tell them I already bought from another troop but "hang in thee, I know how hard it is to do this- don't let all the neg*tive people get you down." Then I tell them about the promise that I made to myself and that always seems to make them smile. And the moms and older girls are so appreciative of the conversation.

It takes less than 1-2 minutes of my time and I hope that my cheeriness and friendliness will wipe out some of the neg*tivity that they encountered the other 90% of the time.

Please please please- if you don't want to support the girl scouts or buy a box of cookies, at least LOOK at them and treat them with kindness and respect. SAY hello and SAY no thank you. Don't be rude, don't ignore them. Be polite, be courteous, be friendly, make them feel good about themselves. It's hard enough to be a kid these days- more so than when we were kids.

UGH. Warning if you are wanting to book using Airbnb. The City of Rockaway Beach states that vacation stays of 30 days or longer are EXEMPT from needing to pay lodging tax. However- AirBNB CONTINUES to charge the tax anyway! I have been fighting on behalf of my March guest trying to get them to remove the tax and they refuse! I have sent them emails with the city ordinance and even forwarded an email from the city confirming there should be no taxes billed- and they STILL refuse.

If you are looking at booking a property through AirBNB, you should also check to see if that same place is listed on VRBO or Houfy- check all 3, and go with whichever is the cheapest!!

For Seaview 403- we prefer our bookings through Houfy.com because they don't charge any service fees to guests OR owners- saving both of us money!

I don't know what AirBNB is doing with the "taxes" they collect and file on my behalf.
Rant over.

Airbnb needs to do better. They are charging my 30-day renters lodging tax- despite me sending them the city code and emails from the city stating that there should not be a lodging tax charged to my 30-day tenants- I've called and messaged them and asked them to REMOVE this charge from my guest's bookings- $432 for one guest and $445.90 to the other.... and they are refusing to credit them! Meanwhile- what are they doing with this tax money? Where is it going?

When I complained to them, their comment was "well, when we test it, if someone books 34 days then there's no charge.".... that doesn't help me! They aren't supposed to be charged for 30 days- so.... fix it!

Airbnb needs to do better. They have the city tax information- they can SEE that they aren't supposed to be charging the tax, yet they won't fix the account to stop charging. This is hurting my bookings.

Rant over.

Here's something I didn't realize until this weekend...

Our windows sit lower than the floor below us. With our lower windows, we can sit in any chair and see the sand and waves. We can also lay in bed and watch the waves.

So when we say our unit has THE BEST VIEW in all of Rockaway Beach- we aren't kidding.

It's not what you can see when you are standing at the window - but what you can see from several feet away in the comfort of our recliners or while laying in bed!

I know everyone on this page is already familiar with Rockaway Beach- but here's a great news interview with the mayor of the town!

My favorite part is when he says his favorite thing to do is watch the waves. Something YOU can do from the comfort of bed or comfort of our swivel chairs!

Have fun and frolic, or enjoy a lazy day digging your toes in the sand at Rockaway Beach! Charles McNeilly, mayor of Rockaway Beach, joined us to to share all t

BOOKING SPECIAL!
We still have some spring and summer dates available to book- SAVE 20% when you book through our Houfy site using the discount code SAVE20

We can still only offer 30-44 day stays... many people love using our place as a central location while they tour other communities along the coast. We've even had guests book our place for a month, AND book a few nights on the Southern Oregon Coast for a weekend getaway from their monthly getaway! Who woulda thunk? Better than packing everything up and checking out completely I suppose!

Have you checked out our new website?

Seaview 403 is ON the beach in Rockaway Beach Oregon. A 2 bedroom condo unit that can be rented for 1-month stays. Panoramic views of the ocean & town.

This excerpt gets me every time...

“Despite popular belief to the contrary, there is absolutely no power in intention. The seagull may INTEND to fly away, may DECIDE to do so, may TALK with the other seagulls about how wonderful it is to fly, but until the seagull flaps his wings and takes to the air, he is still on the dock. There’s no difference between that seagull and all the others.

Likewise, there is no difference in the person who intends to do things differently and the one who never thinks about it in the first place. Have you ever considered how often we judge ourselves by our intentions while we judge others by their actions? Yet intention without action is an insult to those who expect the best from you.” ― Andy Andrews

When you put it that way, that there's no difference between somebody who's never thought of it and you (who has thought of it but is not acting on it), wow.

'Tis the season of giving! As we approach the holidays, let's take a moment to reflect on how we can make a positive impact in the lives of others. In addition to financial contributions, consider donating any new or gently used clothing, toys, and household items that may no longer bring joy to your life. Decluttering your space can not only create a sense of peace but also provide much-needed assistance to those in need.

Charitable organizations are in dire need of these donations, and by contributing, we can help them continue their invaluable work. As we exchange gifts and celebrate with loved ones, let's remember those who are less fortunate, ensuring that they too experience joy during this festive season.

Whether it's a warm coat, a cozy blanket, or a cherished toy, each donation can make a significant difference in someone's life. Your support can bring comfort and happiness to families and individuals facing hardship.

To make your donation, simply research local charities or organizations that align with your values and contact them to inquire about their donation procedures. Most charities have drop-off locations or will arrange pick-ups, making it convenient for you to contribute.

Let's spread the holiday cheer and embrace the true spirit of giving by sharing what we have with those who need it most. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of others.

This is a picture from a couple years ago but shows the difference in the creek before king tide and after! Of course it depends on how much debris is out on the beaches, but this was a couple years ago and it was particularly bad!

We still have a lot of availability for this coming summer! If you are interested in booking a month-long stay at Seaview 403, send us a PM or check out our direct booking site on Houfy and www.houfy.com/21588

Aug 27, 2023 - 1015 Views. Seaview 403 - ON THE BEACH! Top floor condo with panoramic views. Seaview 403 in Rockaway Beach Oregon is a 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms vacation rental in Rockaway Beach, Oregon, United States.

08/11/2023

The best thing about Seaview 403 is when you wake up, roll over to face the windows and open your eyes. This was my view at 7:00 a.m.

One of the perks of being on the top floor is feeling like you still have privacy, because you are so high up.

We always sleep with our window shades open to enjoy the night sky and the sunrise.

I truly believe Rockaway Beach is the best destination! And the views from our place are the best IN town!

Rockaway Beach Oregon has been a family getaway for more than 100 years. We call it the small town with a big beach!
