    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 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.

    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.

    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!

    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!
