OUR CORPORATE STORY

OUR CORPORATE STORY

Originally named the International Dunes Motel in 1967, the property was purchased and renamed the Rockaway Beach Resort in 1981 and then reconverted to a hotel and conference center in 2024.

The original Dunes hotel was built in the late 1960’s, expanded, and then converted into privately owned condominiums in 1981. An HOA governed use of the property until 2023 when most HOA members elected to end their ownership and payment obligations. A private equity holding company was formed by the remaining HOA owners who elected to continue, and Tillamara, Inc. became the sole owner in 2024. The property has since been converted back into a commercial for-profit hotel with a heavy emphasis on serving the corporate events and seminars market. The facilities are undergoing significant upgrades which will be continuing for several years.

Book A Room

Coastal Expectations

  • You will find our coastal towns and venues relaxed and friendly. Our pace of life makes more time for casual conversation and relationship.
  • We do not allow smoking of any kind on the property, including vaping and marijuana. That keeps our common and living areas fresh and clean for other guests. We also maintain quiet hours from 10pm to 8am. 
  • Please include your pets as part of your reservation request so we can direct you to our dog-friendly rooms. Note that there is a nightly pet surcharge.
  • For our guests with mobility needs we ask you to please call ahead to reserve a ground floor room and ADA parking. We do not have elevators so these guests will need to use a stairway lift chair to access the second floor event facility (available as of January 2025).
  • Our property is kept clean and sanitary as you would expect. But be aware that the buildings are older and many of the rooms still have dated décor and some beachside wear and tear. We are continually working to enhance & upgrade our resort.
