We had such a great stay! This was a great find for us and our two young kids. Walking distance to shops and food, a playground, and the beach. The hosts were very kind and communicative, and had plenty to offer to keep the kiddos entertained. Thanks again!

We had an amazing time and so did our dogs. This place is super cute and very well maintained. Perfect location!! Lived all the things included from beach towels to all sorts of games to a s’mores package. Was nice to be able to let the dogs out into the spacious fenced in front yard as well as let them hang out with us on the back deck with the little gate so they couldn’t run off, especially when using the provided Solo stove. Beds were all comfy. Will definitely plan a trip here again!!
This beach house truly felt like home from the moment we arrived. The owners clearly thought of everything—every little detail was covered, and anything you could possibly need was already there. The space was incredibly comfortable and inviting, making it easy to relax and settle in right away. On top of that, the location was perfect—close to everything while still feeling peaceful. Overall, it was such a cozy, well-cared-for place, and we couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable stay.
We loved the cute cottage only half a block from the ocean. It is so convenient to walk across the street to several shops, pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very pleasant and communicated with us about check in and check out. Very dog friendly also. We will stay there again.
We could not have been more impressed with our stay here. The house was outfitted perfectly for us and for the dog. Everything was impeccably clean and thoughtfully laid out. I highly recommend staying here.
We had an excellent stay in Rockaway. Probably the most thoughtful of hosts that i have experienced over the years. The hosts left a s’mores kit, kindling etc and there were loads of games and activities/restaurant reviews. the beach is quite large compared to others in the area and was very peaceful. We would highly recommend!
This property was immaculately clean, well supplied with toys, beach supplies and almost anything you could think of to need. Well located, walking distance to most things in town - the beach, coffee, restaurants and shopping. The hosts were very responsive to questions. Would love to go back.
We loved our stay at Rocka-waves retreat! The owners did a fantastic job of setting up the house up for a young family and for dogs. Our kids were so excited from start to finish. The scenic train even goes by a few times a day just out front. The house was an easy walk to a couple of beach entrances as well as a number of food spots. The house was well furnished with bedding, bath towels, beach towels, and beach blankets. They even had some beach toys and a fire pit. The kitchen and grill also made it easy to cook at the house.
The property managers were terrific and very responsive. The pictures on the listing didn't do the property justice, the property was bigger than the pictures showed. Very short walk to the beach and everything. We never had to get in our cars. The kids loved the train ride!
I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a casual family beach experience!
The house was wonderful. We loved the fact it was so close to the beach, it made the walk to see the sunsets a few minutes. It also is in the middle of town so we were able to walk to shops and restaurants.
The house has a master bedroom downstairs and more upstairs along with another bathroom. We only used the downstairs so that is the focus of this review. The bedroom is cozy, what it might of lacked in size, it made up with the lovely fire feature on the wall and the feeling of being in a lovely cocoon. We spent 3 nights on a 12 night trip and it was my best sleep.
The kitchen had everything we needed. We appreciated the coffee and bottle of wine.
We enjoyed the living room. It rained while we were there so we used the TV and streaming services. We really liked just sitting on the couch and watching people walk by. The train station about a block away. It is a cool old train and it was fun to wave at the people from our porch. This might sound intrusive but it was actually fun and the train only runs a couple times a day. If we come back, we will ride it.
It was just a wonderful stay in a lovely house in a beautiful part of the world.
Thank you!
Kids enjoyed the toys, games, books and front yard; pups enjoyed the fenced-in front yard and bypassing dogs, back deck and dog blankets; adults enjoyed comfortable beds and furniture, special snacks and the bottle of wine! We all enjoyed the back deck, fire pit, S’mores and the amazing kite festival. The blankets and room heaters were great for the very cool nights! Great communication with hosts!!
Loved the little, yet spacious, red beach house! Clean, comfortable and so close to the beach and shops in town. Wine & coffee & smore ingredients awaited us!
This is the second time we have stayed here. Oth times it has been everything its advertised to be. We enjoyed our stay here and will stay herre in the future if possible. Five stars!
My family with 3 generations aged 1-70 had a fantastic time at this beach house! My kids were thrilled with the assortment of toys and each rental since then hasn’t lived up to their expectations now as they are always wondering where all the fun stuff is! The beach access is phenomenal and you have all you need with shops nearby. Although you are in a busy area it’s never noisy. Beds are comfortable and the shower is hot! We would love to come back one day. Thanks for everything!
Amazing stay, tons of thoughtful things for the guests! Amazing location right in the hub, great parking for the area, and you get a front view of the historic train that is so much fun! Thank you!!
