Hello, Neighbor!
Our Commitment to Community
Welcome to the Tillamook Coast. We hope you’ll enjoy your stay and feel like a temporary local while you enjoy the outdoors, restaurants, shopping, museums and attractions.
Our vacation rental agencies share “Expectations of Conduct” with guests in multiple ways— on their websites, at time of booking, and upon arrival. These are enforceable standards required by the local jurisdiction, but we think it’s good information for residents, too.
Here are a few of the most important expectations, which we call
“Hello Neighbor”
Neighbors and Noise
We live in villages, not big cities. The neighborhood general quiet hours are from 10pm – 7am.
Parking
Parked vehicles may not block driveways or emergency vehicle access lanes. You wouldn’t want someone to block your driveway; and obstructed emergency access means delays, and delays could cost someone’s life. Please park smart.
Speed Limits
Be mindful of posted speed limits. If you’re not sure, just slow down.
Garbage
All garbage will be put in the provided secure containers, and will be picked up by a local franchised hauler at least once a week. Did you know it is a crime to put garbage into a can that is not for your home?
RVs
Occupied trailers and tents are not allowed on vacation rental premises at any time.
Pets
Leash your pet unless you are in a clearly defined off-leash area. Also, clean up after them, It’s your duty to pick up your pet’s doody!
Fires
Fires are only allowed in designated areas, and should never be left unattended or not extinguished with water. Be sure the fire is out completely. That’s also true of barbecues that use wood or charcoal.
Fireworks
The State Fire Marshall says “Keep it legal and keep it safe.” Fireworks are illegal in residential areas, and prohibited on all of our beaches.
Drones
Be mindful of where you are flying, and respectful of private property and wildlife.
