So we love this property for the space and view. The home is large and meets our needs in giving everyone space. But let's be honest, it's the million dollar view that brought us back. It's spectacular, and I can sit out on the deck for hours relaxing and watching the ocean.
So for the most part, this place is great. There are some small tweaks that could help: master bed is very rickety and we felt could fall apart at any minute. The bed would literally bow in the middle when two people were laying on it. Upstairs TV is large, but not a smart tv. In this day and age, a smart tv is important for those that like to stream apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO etc. We had to go about it by hooking up our laptop via HDMI to watch movies we wanted to watch. The Direct TV was torture and not worth our time channel surfing. The home was built in 92 and starting to show it's age. Small updates are needed (paint peeling, paint wearing out) the home is well used and can use some refreshing. Our last issue was the upstairs couch. It literally sucks you in and is hard to get in and out of. I know, hard to imagine, but anyone with mobility issues will have a difficult time using it. If those aren't deal breakers, you will LOVE this place. We've been here in summer and fall, and both times were magical. Rockaway is a small little town, not a lot, but plenty of other towns along the way (north and south) that have plenty of shopping and restaurants.
