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.

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!
