Checked out early

I booked a quick get away for my 2 teens and myself for spring break. We booked for 2 nights, arrived after dark Monday night to a very hot musty smelling house, and feeling like I stepped into the 60's as far as the furniture. I turned off the heat and opened all windows for circulation. I was hoping with the alleged short walk to the beach to head out quickly while boys were sleeping. It's 2 blocks to main intersection then 2 blocks over. Arrived back at house, turn on lights and notice ants. Not only were they trailing up the wall to the window in the family room, they were on the bedside table in master and a few had hopped onto the bed, and also in the other bedroom. Between the ants and no functioning microwave, (I got away from home to rest and not cook) we left a day early. Now, I'm attempting to get partially reimbursed for the night we did not stay, VRBO is telling me the host told VRBO their cleaning lady gave me ant traps and spray. I don't think any more words are needed to summarize the hassle booking with this host has caused me. Our quick 2 night get away ended after one night and back to Portland it was. I have occasional ants in my own property, weather dependent and extra rain pushed them in.. but in my sheets? That's how bad they were. We would not recommend staying in this dated musty not the cleanest property

Wonderful stay for Rockaway Beach

We stayed here over the July 4th holiday, and loved the location and property. This is further south than the rest of the town, so if you want to walk to shops, it's a longer hike, but still doable. There's plenty to do and see in the area, and the beach is so close and beautiful. The house was comfortable for the four of us, and we're excited to return someday soon!

I would like to own the house

I really liked staying at the property. It was easy to get to only two blocks off of the main highway. The house was laid out nicely there was plenty of room and we had everything that we needed and it even had a 65 inch TV I was impressed. I have been to Rockaway Beach before and stayed at other places and the location of this house was perfect for me to go to all my favorite places. I would love to stay at this place again.

Clean, wonderful little get-a-away

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this little house rental on the southernmost end of Rockaway beach. Most of the crowds were further north, and the beach was easy to walk to (especially with the crosswalk with warning lights that enabled us to get across highway 101 without incident). We appreciated Ruth's hospitality and responsiveness to our questions prior to check-in, and the house was clean and properly represented by the photos. Great stay!

Great Location!

This was the perfect central location for us to tour the coast. The walk to the beach was short and it’s also really close to the Big Cedar boardwalk. The house itself is dated and a little musty at first, but clean. There aren’t any beach toys or beach towels - these would be great to add for future guests.
