Very comfortable home conveniently located for traveling the North Coast. Beautiful views of the ocean. Quiet neighborhood and good working amenities, such as the TV and WiFi.
The house was exactly as advertised and the ocean views are amazing! The house has a great variety of amenities with the board games, lots of extra blankets, pancake syrup, Brita pitcher, etc. And the crow's nest is adorable! We had a really great, relaxing time. Thank you!
Overall a fine stay but the house is in need of some updating. Exposed wires near plug outlets near fireplace donât seem safe especially when staying my with little kids. Fireplace does not draw and frequent blowdowns of smoke. Suggest cleaning of chimney is needed. View of ocean is nice but online pictures are a little deceiving, no direct access from house backyard. Overall, Rockaway town has very limited dining options too. Would stay at a different coastal town next time.
Overall we absolutely loved our stay at SeaFarer. Ocean views, access to the beach, fireplace and attached elevated seating area were real highlights for us. The weather prevented us from enjoying the outside area but it's great that it has a firepit and picnic table. The beds were very comfortable and we loved that it had two bathrooms. We found it a bit challenging that there really isn't kitchen counter space for cooking but we managed. Our only real complaint is that the living room furniture was not very comfortable at all. I would suggest replacing one, if not both of the sofas. We would definitely stay here again. Love the Rockaway Beach area.
We knew it would likely be stormy so we were grateful to find a place with a view so we could enjoy the ocean despite the weather. With the king tides and storm surges there were times when there was no sandy beach or the wind-driven sand was uncomfortable but we enjoyed those hours between beach walks inside this comfortable home watching the ocean, reading, and watching movies. It was a restful, refreshing stay and we appreciate you sharing this property.
Since it was a rainy week it was really good to find all of the channels that were accessible on the TV apparatus. The view at the front window is just exactly as advertised it was fantastic
Girls weekend was a success! We loved the location, cute older beach house that had everything you could think of needing⊠we loved the fireplace, fire pit and the âeagles nest!âThanks for a great time! Definitely will stay here again someday!
Our family enjoyed our stay. It's a comfortable house. The living room could use some updated furniture to make the comfort better. Our 14 yr old grandsons enjoyed the tower. We loved the ocean view, crashing waves and fire pit. The kitchen is tight but workable. Castles and mountains were built in the sand making memories complete. Note: the plush towels and wash cloths were slow to dry becoming sour. No communication with property manager.
It's a very welcoming cottage and it was clean. We had a total of 5 guests and it was adequate for that number. The view is outstanding. If you aren;t a good walker or lose balance easy, I would not recommend going down to the beach on the rocky stairs. Also, access to the beach is about a block away from the cabin. It is a very peaceful place to unwind and relax.
Ok so Iâm a review reader and writer. I read every review before I rent a place and like to give honest detailed reviews as best I can. This was truly one of our best rentals in Rockaway, and weâve gone every year and always try a new place. The view upon entering cannot be beat. The whole front of the house is windows that just look out at the ocean. House was perfect for the four of us, could also work for more. One of the things I look for is living room seating for relaxing time. This home had two couches, plus a Loung chair, so would seat 7, a great amount of space for dad to take a nap and the rest of us to be very comfortable. Dining table seats 6. Tiny kitchen space, crazy to go old fashioned and hand wash dishes but itâs good for us lol. Comfy beds. No tvs in the bedrooms but not the end of the world. Superb outdoor space, we ate our crab on the picnic table overlooking the ocean. Crows nest was fantastic. A great use of space. Negative was the rocks to climb down. Itâs not just 2 or 3, but a small rock cliff. If youâre physically challenged in any way (or have had a few too many beverages) itâs literally just a couple houses down for safer passage. Only a couple ants that we saw, but weâve seen them in every house weâve ever rented there. Laundry soap provided but not dryer sheets. And couldnât find a pizza cutter. I agree with another reviewer that said new pans with lids would be nice. We used a plate to help drain our hamburger meat but again not the worst. I would rent this funky fun house again in a minute.
House was nice and had wonderful view. It looks from the pictures to be right at beach level but there was large rock wall to go up and down for beach access- FYI. For us it didnât detract from the experience but for those limited in mobility it might be an issue.
Waking up to the beautiful beach view and going to bed with the beautiful sunset was sensational. The deck, firepit, and sand area were perfect for all the family, We had everything we needed plus more! Would recommend this place and would love to come back every summer.
We absolutely LOVED the view. It was hard to beat and most appreciated because getting down to the beach was hard for my 80 year old mom with bad knees. She made it down the public rock staircase with a stick moving slowly and carefully, but because it wasnât easy getting down there, getting to enjoy the ocean from the views this little cottage provided was priceless. We grew very attached to this house and wouldnât hesitate to book it again. I especially loved the lookout nook where I blissfully spent time painting, drawing and unrolled my yoga mat. We did wash most of the dishes before we used them, but that was understandable since there isnât a dishwasher. The beds were really comfortable as were the couches. And the water pressure in the shower is lovely. This is the perfect no frills but super comfortable and inviting charming beach retreat. We loved it đ„°
This property has amazing views of the beautiful ocean. We would rent again. What you should know is that there are no chairs for the backyard, the electrical outlets are minimal and since is a pet friendly property, you will find animal fur in many places. However, it is clean and rustic, ready to make memories.
Overall the property was perfect, great ocean views. The posted property pictures were quite dated, but again, overall there was plenty of space for family and our labs. Did have some trouble with ants in the kitchen and dining area and could find no repellent.
We plan to rebook next year diring the same period.
The JUST DONâT LOOK house because everywhere you looked, there was dust! And not just the kind of dust thatâs been sitting there for a month. This was months of dust and cobwebs. Having to clean dishes and glasses and silverware. Every Chachi had dust on it. Everything you touched outside of the surface cleaning that was done had dust on it. A cobweb that had months of dust balls in it. Too bad thereâs nowhere to post pictures because I had a ton of pictures.
