OUR CORPORATE STORY

Originally named the International Dunes Motel in 1967, the property was purchased and renamed the Rockaway Beach Resort, time share condominiums in 1981.

Rockaway Beach Resort & Conference Center is owned and operated by holding company Tillamara, Inc. Tillamara purchased the resort from the non-profit Rockaway Beach Resort Home Owners Association which had held the property for over 40 years. Nearly all the holding company investors are prior HOA owners who elected to continue a relationship with the resort as it switched over to a commercial for-profit model. The transition process includes significant facility upgrades which will be continuing for several years.

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.
