The best way to get around Rockaway is by car with garaged parking included with your stay as well as plenty of street parking by the unit.

With such a great central location, walking is ideal with great restaurants, cafes and the beautiful beach all just a short stroll away.

Other Things to Note:
The house is not managed by a large vacation rental company so you can expect a more personalized service when staying with us.

There is no ocean view is only from our unit, but we are located ~50 steps from the sand.

The home does not have air conditioning which is normal for this area as the climate stays cool.

There are 30 steps in total within the house, 15 steps from the entry to the first floor and then another 15 to the top floor. There are handrails provided to keep guests feeling safe and secure when climbing the stairs.

This property is dog friendly. We can't promise an allergy free environment as pets are commonly in the space.

There is a smart doorbell at the front door which has a video camera.

The unit has a garage that you can park in, but to open the garage you'll need to enter through the front door and then open it. There is ample free on street parking as well.

For winter guests: Please note that the gas fireplace pictured in the living room does not turn on. Its internal parts lost the battle with the salt air, it would cost a fortune to fix, and we were told it would just rust out again in a few years. It was only decorative, not heat producing, anyway. But know that the fireplace does not turn on.

Interaction with Guests:
We strive to make sure your time at the house is relaxing and enjoyable and are always available during your stay if there are any questions or for any recommendations on what to do and see in the area.

Unfortunately I'm located in Portland so I won't be available onsite.
