Pros: This house has a lot of potential. It has a lot of space, is conveniently located to Rockaway beach and strip, but feels very private. Loved all the wall art and themes throughout the house.
Cons: smelled of dog, very spartan in furnishings (no bedside lamps, no end tables, no fans). This spartan approach was carried to everything else provided as well (don’t expect to feel a warm thoughtful touch or greeting here. This is not a home-away-from-home). We are a family of four and booked 8 nights and were provided 5 dish tabs (yet there were no dish cloths to manually wash them) bathroom towels were threadbare and minimal (expect to have to do LOTS of laundry if you are showering, but not much detergent provided), no extra bedding if you like it warmer than what is provided, and despite the listing saying there were kids’ toys/games, there were not. Hot tub was great, but didn’t seem cleaned prior to our use (lots of debris when we first opened it). Patio had furniture but it was all covered up (not very inviting). The keypad for entry to the property seems to be going out—we’d have to try the code numerous times before it would finally unlock, then it would get stuck in unlock mode and not lock at night (or unlock after you lock it or even get stuck in lock mode).
Overall, this place was suitable and we enjoyed the stay (but has so much more potential if it had some TLC).
