Beachfront vacation rentals in Rocky Mountains

This was our second trip to The Rocky Whale in the last six months. We love it here. For us, the location is incredible. We spend as much time on the beach possible and being able to cross the street to the dune path and be at the ocean in less than 5 minutes is incredible. Low-tide tide pools? Check. Entire groups of seals? Check. Eagles? Check. Milky Way on a clear night? Also check! We are grateful for the ability to bring our dogs and the big open space downstairs to be able to house their crates. The bed/bath/kitchen has always been clean and comfortable and when the storms come through being able to hang out in the big living space upstairs and keep ourselves entertained (tv… storm… games.. etc) has come in handy. The kitchen is well appointed. We eat in when we stay here and there is nothing we haven’t been able to handle (sometimes a little improvisation is needed!) We were never able to find the tv remote on our second trip… but there is an app for that.

Cute place and sorry walk to the beach. The place has personality and walkable to restaurants and shops!

Our family stayed for two nights and had a blast watching movies, playing games and walking on the beach. House has a beautiful view of the bay and the bridge. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked.

I cannot recommend this home enough! This was the first vacation my elderly grandma has taken since the pandemic and the view was so perfect for her since she could not walk the beach. She sat at the table, the place had everything we could have needed and we would be so happy to go back

Nice quaint cottage on the beach. It has great beach access, but a little steep for folks that have mobility challenges. The house was clean, comfortable and well appointed with everything you should need to cook a meal. We loved the mud room area for the wet pup to dry off a bit before coming inside and the family area upstairs with beautiful views (especially at sunset). If I had any feedback for future updates would be the bathroom. The water pressure in the shower was pretty weak, but yet the pressure in the sink is so strong your clothes get wet. Also the clawfoot tub is a nice touch for bath takers, but getting in and out of the tub for showers is a risky undertaking. There is really nothing to really grab onto other than the shower curtain and I was very concerned for my 69 y/o mother. All in all…this was a great stay and I would definitely return!

Carol was an amazing host, very responsive and offered early check-in! The home was super comfy and housed our 8 woman book club well. Really loved the quiet, the hot tub, and the short walk onto the beach. Would definitely stay again!!

A nice little get away as a family to enjoy the things we love - beach, water, and nature! Kirsten’s place offered all three and more! Cozy, comfortable, and clean! Enjoy every minute we were there!

It’s a relax getaway. I enjoy the Sunset on the beach. The privacy is really great. Walking on the beach in the morning was blissful and felt at peace.

The stay was wonderful and super cozy. The couch was so comfortable and made socializing feel more like home. I’d stay there again. 😊

Great host, very responsive and the condo was very accommodating and clean. Great views of the beach with access. What more can you ask for?

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

We loved staying at Shelli’s home in Monterey Dunes Colony. Every room was set up nicely and clean, and you could tell Shelli has put a lot of care into the home. There were 7 of us and each family member enjoyed their stay. We love staying at Monterey Dunes Colony because the location can’t be beat. Every home has their quirks but honestly we didn’t find any at Shelli’s. It was comfortable to hang out and enjoy the beach and scenery, and close enough to outdoor activities and the aquarium. The living room is set up comfortably for a big group, while offering privacy too. It was a restful and rejuvenating getaway! We plan to book again.

Great stay for a low-key gathering of friends which included a few young children. Spacious common area was great for everyone to be able to hangout together. Kitchen was well-equipped; we cooked a few meals. The neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful. Responsive and friendly host. Flexible checkout. Would stay again!

Lovely well kept home right next to the ocean! Enjoy lovely ocean views and the sound of the waves. Only minor complaint is the walk to the beach was a bit longer than expected since some paths were closed when we were there. Overall we had a lovely relaxing stay!

The house was perfect for our getaway. The kids enjoyed the backyard sandy area on the dune and the private dune trail was super cool, espeically for sunsets. We did think it had better beach access-didn't know the dune has a steep dropoff—but there is nearby public beach access which is easier to use. The separate entry for the downstairs was a bit tricky if you have small kids that want to bunk down there but we managed. Everyone had a great time. House was well cared for and the kitchen was stocked with many essentials and we really appreciated that they left condiments and other things in the fridge door. You don't often see that! 10/10 would book again.

Highly recommend Roy’s place! The location was perfect and the view from the master bedroom of the water was amazing! The apartment was very spacious and clean and it had everything we needed! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again!

We spent a fantastic weekend at Raymond's beautiful place with stunning views looking out on to the water. Raymond was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. We would love to go back one day in the future!

Loved staying here with my family. House was SO clean. Would definitely come back. Great amount of space enjoyed seeing the water all day. Even had a highchair for my little one!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Anchor Down Inn. The home exceeded expectations, such beautiful views and a comfy, clean and spacious home. The balloons, cake, and flowers for a birthday were such a thoughtful and sweet gesture. We were greeted with a friendly note, wine, and snacks. The hot tub was wonderful and the surprise visit of Seals our first morning was incredible. Rachel was very responsive and helpful if I had any questions, and even let us check in early the day of our arrival. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a private getaway. We will definitely be back!

Stayed at this house with a few friends for the weekend and had such a lovely time. Serene views of the passage from a heated deck and hot tub, and spacious living quarters for everyone to have separate sleeping quarters.

We liked the condo and location very much. Very peaceful, quiet and private, the unit is well maintained, and everything we used worked. Kitchen was great, we used it for breakfast everyday. Hardly anyone walking the beach during our stay, and it was relaxing watching the tide come in and out, with the lights from Canada at the distance. A place to stay if you're after a quiet, relaxing vacation. The restaurant at the nearby resort is a very short walk away, and pretty good even with the short menu, as their main kitchen is closed for renovation.

Great location near Jedediah Smith and Prairie Creek State Parks. Amazing ocean views. Fit our family's needs.

Incredibly beautiful spot with a great deck and access to the beach. DJ and Karen are very responsive and friendly to work with. Would love to come back. Can’t beat the view on a sunny day!

Another incredible stay! You can't beat the location, with near instantaneous access to the beach. The house is cozy and comforting, providing all of the amenities from morning coffee before a beautiful beach walk to family dinner with the sunset over the ocean as the backdrop. This year we were fortunate to be able to vacation with our adult child and their partner and the guest house made for an excellent experience. While the main house had plenty of space for everyone to relax and socialize, it was nice to have separate spaces to wind down in. We definitely enjoyed this second stay as much as, if not more than, our first stay. We hope to be able to enjoy the Loft of Riley again in the future.
