Oceanfront Rockaway Beach Home — Private Beach Access & Decks
This oceanfront residence at 17340 Pine Beach Way delivers a rare combination of scale, privacy and direct beach access on Rockaway Beach's desirable oceanfront strip. Spanning 2,534 square feet across two levels, the home is arranged to maximize west-facing ocean views: a full-length upper deck stretches the width of the house, providing unobstructed sunsets and easy outdoor entertaining. Inside, thoughtful spaces cater to both everyday living and guest-ready comfort. The family room centers around a wet bar with a wine refrigerator—an ideal spot for gatherings—while the oversized kitchen, equipped with two convection ovens, supports large-crowd cooking and leisurely breakfasts looking out to the surf.
Privacy and flexibility are hallmarks here: the floorplan presents three distinct primary suites, each with its own full bath, making the home perfect for family living, multi-generational stays, or high-occupancy vacation rentals. The primary suite is appointed with elevated comforts including a two-person jacuzzi tub and a steam shower for relaxed evenings after beach walks.

Constructed in 1998 and maintained in good condition, the house pairs coastal durability with livable, well-proportioned rooms: living and dining areas flow to the decks, bedrooms offer private comfort, and storage/parking accommodate coastal lifestyles. Practical systems such as public water and sewer are in place; buyers should confirm insurance and coastal hazard details as part of due diligence.
Located just off Highway 101 in Rockaway Beach, residents enjoy small-town coastal services—cafés, markets, and local recreation—and straightforward drives to larger Tillamook-area amenities.

A factual market snapshot around 17340 Pine Beach Way.
Rockaway Beach sits within the small, seasonal coastal housing market of Tillamook County. The broad market is characterized by a mix of year-round residents, retirees, and second-home buyers with demand peaking in spring and summer. Median non-oceanfront home prices in the town are typically well below oceanfront pricing; true oceanfront inventory is limited, which supports a persistent premium. Over the past year the coastal market has seen modest appreciation (~3%), with five-year appreciation closer to the low double digits. Days on market vary by season—listings placed in late winter/early spring often see quicker activity. Buyers should factor in higher insurance and maintenance costs when evaluating returns, while sellers can expect a targeted marketing window to attract buyers paying for access and views. For investors, the property’s three en-suite bedrooms and strong oceanfront position support robust short-term rental ADRs during peak months, though verify local STR rules and seasonal occupancy trends.
