Charming Rockaway Beach House, Walk to Ocean!

Reviews

• 3/5

  The house is ok and is in a good location. We have stayed in cleaner houses on the coast for cheaper. Was pretty irritated that we paid that much for a cleaning fee and the house was dirty. When I informed the owner all I got for a response was thanks for the info. No offer of a discount or anything. My wife cleaned the hood above the stove because there was so much grease buildup on it we didn’t dare cook on the stove otherwise. We didn’t even bother with the outdoor grill. It was filthy. There is also missing smoke alarms and co2 detectors. There is only one small tv in the king bedroom so if you want to unwind at night with a movie it’s going to be a slumber party. Needless to say I don’t think we will be back. There are better options.

  From the owner:
  "Hi Russ,
  
  Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I always strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for every guest, and I regret that we fell short during your visit. Your feedback is important, and I take it seriously.
  
  The stove hood issue appears to have been an oversight—this has never come up before and has now been addressed.
  
  Regarding the outdoor grill, it is exposed to salt air, which causes rapid wear. We choose to keep it available despite the cost and its wear, as most guests appreciate having it.
  
  As for the TV, the home is intentionally designed around social connection—with games, music, puzzles, conversation areas, and a warm, fully equipped kitchen. The TV is not the central feature by design, and we try to be upfront about this in our listing. I understand this may not suit everyone, but we aim to set expectations clearly.
  
  Thank you again for your stay and thoughtful feedback."

• Great little house

  5/5

  This place was really great for the four of us. The neighborhood was friendly and quiet and there were woods and wildlife all around - frogs in the wetlands, hummingbirds, jays, and a Great Blue Heron hunting the wetland area. The house was very clean and well-supplied for cooking, doing laundry and living. The fire pit in the backyard was a big plus! The property owner is gracious and friendly. We loved it! Only wish it was closer to the beach, but that’s not major.

• Great weekend getaway

  5/5

  My husband had a great stay for our anniversary. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was close to town and the beach but in a very quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again.

  We appreciated how clean this house was. It was obvious someone took the time to make sure every area was ready for us. It was quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
