Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We enjoyed the coziness of the house, the living room and kitchen, the comfortableness of the beds and couches and the outdoor patio and the location. It was very clean and we appreciated how well supplied the kitchen was. We noticed that many aspects of the house seemed to be in marginal or poor condition with doors and windows not quite fitting or hard to open, etc. However, we would still recommend it. Thank you.

Such a cute cottage

This is our second stay here love the location and the house and yard. Would be nice to have a bbq and some of the kitchen utensils could be replaced or upgraded. Also some mold in the bedroom and bathroom wndow sills. The new outdoor couch was awesome and we love the Kurig!!! Our lab Cash loved relaxing and hanging out in the yard!! The beach is less than a block away and so is town its a great spot. Maybe fix the lock on the barhroom door also.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed being here and found it mostly to our liking. Two specific things that could be improved is the cleanliness-was clean on the surface, but many things like the ceiling fan were not clean. The kitchen was stocked with old and not very functional cooking pans, etc.

When you walk in for the first time, there is a strong ammonia smell that hits you immediately. Old sewage pipes under the house broken? We opened some windows to air it out. We couldn’t get the k cup machine to work to make coffee, bought some ground and used the drip. The bed in the room next to the bathroom was quite uncomfortable. Not up to par with other rentals.

Funky, dog friendly, beach place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed our two nights in Rockaway. The house is close to the beach just a short walk down the road but did not expect the house to be so close to 101 and the railroad tracks. House was older with an interesting layout, but we prefer this older style beach house to something modern. Dogs friendly was a huge plus. No Cable and WiFi TV didn't work that great kept buffering so we just watched the DVD's for entertainment.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
A rough finish, cute decor but cluttered, dark and kind of depressing. Tripping hazards between rooms with as much as 3 inches difference in floor levels in doorways. I have 2 hip replacements and was constantly afraid I’d fall. No porch lights. Bed was uncomfortable and woke up in pain. I paid as much as I would for an ocean front motel room. I felt claustrophobic and left a day early. I wouldn’t stay again.

Family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We decided to take a last minute trip to the coast for my Birthday and I am so glad that we did. Pros: per night rate, we were able to bring our pup, WiFi was great, TV streaming options were great, location is great, the house was clean, perfect size, well stocked Cons: master bed was very firm, 2nd bedroom is across the house in the remodeled garage right next to the backdoor (which is fine for older kids but I was uneasy about it for my toddlers). Rockaway beach is the perfect little place to enjoy the scenic train ($75 for 4ppl- which we were a little taken aback by the cost), decent food (nothing super special and we were bummed it was difficult to find fresh fish), beautiful walks on the beach with so much to explore. Everything is closed on Tuesdays for some reason. Dispensary is right by the house, which was a plus for me. All in all- we had a really relaxing family vacation and we will continue to vacation all along the coast.

3 nights stay at Serenity Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrive at the cottage, we noticed that it had a strong smell right away. I don't know where it is coming from but the rug and the couch looks stained and dirty. We didn't seat on the couch all weekend because it make us feel uncomfortable to seat on the dirty sofa. The floorings are also were dusty and old. That made us feel uncomfortable being there in the living room. The bathroom was pretty clean. The kitchen had what we needed mostly, but didn't have any cooking oil so I would advise to bring that. The fireplace and space heater worked well. However they were both very dusty. I loved the location of the house, it is a block from the beach and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Overall it was a great weekend, but I had hoped to have a cleaner house.

Serenity Now!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First things first, the location is amazing. The beach is close and Rockaway is adorable and walkable.Two things worth mentioning: there is no dishwasher at this property, which means you are trusting previous guests to have washed the dishes. If you visit now, you'll find lots of clean dishes because we washed so many of them. Almost everything I pulled out was visibly dirty, which is always gross but especially during covid times. In general the house was cleaned like I clean my own home, and not like I'd expect a rental to be cleaned. Accumulated sand, unwashed throw pillows, etc.The second thing is that the kids' bedroom is a garage and it was freezing cold in there our entire 5 day stay despite having the cadet heater cranked the entire time. That said, there's all sorts of games to play and movies to watch and beach gear available. It's super homey and comfortably furnished and felt like a family beach house. I would visit again with the right company.

Lovely stay

We stayed here for a long weekend. The house was very cute, had everything we needed and wonderful beach access and was also close to shops in ton. The size was perfect for me, my sister and our daughters. The beach supplies had everything we needed. We also brought our two small dogs and it felt like plenty of room. My only complaint is the bed in the adult room was really uncomfortable like so much so that it made my hips ache every night (I'm only 38). I think once they invest in more comfortable mattresses it is pretty much the perfect getaway.

Lovely, peaceful setting and home

It started a little "rocky" because we were told we had to check in late (at 6:00 PM instead of 4:00), however we were given a $50.00 credit to compensate for the inconvenience. This home was comfortable, and quiet, just as we had hoped. It is a few blocks from the beach on a hill in a natural setting with large trees, ferns and foxglove blooming. The one bedroom and full bath downstairs and two bedrooms with full bath upstairs worked perfectly for us, our son and daughter-in-law and five year old granddaughter.

Unfortunately many of the cafes and businesses in town ended up being closed, but being steps from the gorgeous beach made up for that.
