The good: Wonderful house in Rockaway! The house is gorgeous, spacious and very well decorated with whimsy. The view of the beach is wonderful, you can hear the waves all night long. It's a 20 minute walk to the main boardwalk of Rockaway with shops and restaurants. The Girabaldi train goes by and you can wave from the balcony decks, this is more fun than one would think and we did it often. The ok: If you are reading a book or crafting at night, bring a lamp the lighting is dim. There are quite a few stairs as this is a 3 story house with bedrooms on the top floor and the main seating/kitchen is on the second floor. If stairs are a challenge for you, this might not be the best stay for you. The house is not on the beach. You must cross HWY 101, but the cross walk is steps from the house. The parking is across a very narrow bridge. Large vehicles may find this tricky. This is steps away (like 50 steps) to the HWY and it is noisy at all hours. The headlights also shine into the bedrooms so if you need dark you might consider an eye mask. The not so good, but totally fixable: the couch had many crumbs, there was quite a bit of dust on many surfaces.Would we stay again: YES.
