Overall it was pretty good, did have a strong musty smell we had to leave windows open, a few things could be changed or updated but for the most part good.. wasp nest under covered patio by a pole up high. Coffee pot leaks… great location. Had a fun weekend.

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.

Short Beach Vacation

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.

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.

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.

The house is a little bit rundown, but overall the beds were comfy and it had everything we needed. Unfortunately many of the cafes and businesses in town ended up being closed, but being steps from the gorgeous beach made up for that.

Cottage disgusting -

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The picture is not accurate in any way. Without going into get detail, back bedroom] smelled like mold even though we tried to air it out; closed it off and guest slept on couch. Cottage was not clened prior to our arrival, although they boast of going through intense COVID cleaning, sticky floors, left over socks and miscellaneous on the floors, multiple lightbulbs burned out, one adapter in kitchen, so had to continually unplug coffee pot for toaster, or toaster for microwave, etc., deck so dirty did not sit outside once. Furniture and pillows on deck dirty, table on deck dirty, Rusted out large table randomly on grass - no chairs. The place was basically a roof over our head. Very expensive roof, I might add. I was able to speak with the company that lists this house and they were helpful in terms of a small refund; I would rather have had a nice place to enjoy, but all other rentals were booked.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a tough one as we would really like to be more generous BUT to be fair the overall cleanliness of the property, from the cigarette butt sitting in the basket of shells, the two used Q tips in the front bedroom on the window sill, the counter tops that had not been wiped down and a shower tub that, give or take, takes an hour to drain, made this less than great. On the other hand, you are a short block away from a beautiful beach and perhaps that's enough. The restaurant choices are sadly limited, impacted by COVID. Hopefully as things continue to open up this will change. Overall, if you're looking for 'clean' this may not be your first choice, however, location, location, location ...
