Dog Friendly Waterfront Bungalow Just Steps to the Sand and Waves

Location is amazing. Walkable to most of what Rockaway Beach offers. Getting to the beach without a lot of stairs is really convenient.

Place was comfy and clean, exactly as described and well stocked! Thank you for sharing your home!

Love the accommodations! Such a beautiful view from inside home and beachfront access steps from the back door! Amazing stayrain or shine

This property was beautiful, and has everything you need for a relaxing time at the beach.

We stayed in this rental ten years ago and loved it so much we always hoped to return. The views and beach access can’t be beat. This rental has stood the test of time, and while there are a lot of carpet stains from pets over the years, the trade off is that I got to have my little old dog with me for what might have been our last trip together. But seriously, the carpet could use some attention. Also, Lysol wipes or just some basic cleaning products would be helpful. I like to be extra careful when I stay in rentals, especially during cold/flu season. The more guests can keep it clean, the less work for the cleaning crew. Love this place though and would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay! Right on the beach and close to everything in town.

Loved everything. We had a good time. The view was spectacular even if was raining.

It was a great stay, but our comforter and linens were dirty. :( The comforter smelled dirty and our linens had stains. Thank goodness for DG we went to purchase laundry detergent. The master bedroom definitely needs a new bed frame. The one it has is really squeaky and the mattress is lumpy, but overall the house has a beautiful view to the ocean. I still can’t figure out why there’s ALOT of stuffed animals in all rooms and living room. We will definitely visit again and hopefully the master bedroom has a more comfortable mattress.

I had a wonderful time here. The view of the beach from the house is perfect. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. Very peaceful. We had a wonderful time.

We had a relaxing week, weather was gorgeous, seafood everywhere and at least once a day. We were disappointed the train operated on the weekends only and we were not there. We dis have to walk our dogs every few hours because there is no fenced dogfie rwlief yard.

Upon arrival it was very noticeable that the pictures in the listing were taken quite some time ago. The house is not as pictured, it is worn and appeared dingey. The floors were sticky and not totally clean, the baseboards and windowsills were disgusting and the house had a wierd not clean smell to it. I made the property manager aware and they got me in contact with the cleaning manager. When i discussed what i felt was unclean she informed me that those were deep cleaning items and that they were not scheduled to deep clean until the end of the month. While she offered to send someone back to the house there was no reason if she wouldnt be taking care of the deep cleaning issues. I was also informed that rhe owner specified what was being used to clean the floors and she said she would inform him that it leaves a tacky/sticky film. I dont believe that vacuuming baseboards and windowsills and washing doors or walls where there are obvious stains/messes should be a deep clean but if it is then i believe the owner should be getting those services. The location was what was the winner, it was amazing to be on the beach and be able to sit outside and listen and watch the waves. If the cleaning could be upgraded this would be an amazing stay. Well that and new mattresses or toppers or something. Beds were like sleeping on cement.

When we first checked in I saw that the carpet on the stairs and upstairs was gross and covered with many animal excrement stains. I immediately contacted Vacasa and asked for someone to come and promptly clean the carpet.Despite promises to do it twice, they never came. I was there for a 10 day stay, so they had plenty of time. After a week when it was clear they would not be coming to clean the carpet I asked for a $50/day refund for having to pay full price to live with gross disgusting carpet including in the master bedroom. Once again, despite multiple promises that the Vacasa person would talk with local management and get back to me they never did. This was on top of the property not being cleaned and ready to move in on our day of arrival until 6 pm even when a 4 pm check in was promised. Plus, the unit is long in the tooth and needs multiple repairs and updating. Cleaning the thick dust off of the fake plants, the oven and the inside of the kitchen cabinets and getting rid of the innumerable old nik naks would also be good. As would having folding beach chairs. Since when do you rent a beach house without beach chairs etc. Sadly, this place could be great. The location is fantastic. And hanging out in the family/dining room with the ocean views is great. But the place is not healthy or comfortable to live in with the gross carpet. And Vacasa couldn’t manage their way out of a paper bag. I rent a lot of vacation rentals. This was my worst experience by far.

Great beach house!

We loved our stay in Rockaway Beach! The location is perfect - so great to be steps from the sand, and with incredible views from the back patio and primary bedroom. The home was very clean and comfortable. It was super helpful to be able to use the garage to store bikes and gear. Great restaurants, coffee shop, and market within walking distance. Thank you so much, we’ll be back!

Went for kite festival! It was right before our eyes

We've stayed a number of times at this house in Rockaway. It's right on the beach and in the middle of town. A great location and a very comfortable house with amazing views.
