We loved our stay at Rocka-waves retreat! The owners did a fantastic job of setting up the house up for a young family and for dogs. Our kids were so excited from start to finish. The scenic train even goes by a few times a day just out front. The house was an easy walk to a couple of beach entrances as well as a number of food spots. The house was well furnished with bedding, bath towels, beach towels, and beach blankets. They even had some beach toys and a fire pit. The kitchen and grill also made it easy to cook at the house.

We loved the cute cottage only half a block from the ocean. It is so convenient to walk across the street to several shops, pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very pleasant and communicated with us about check in and check out. Very dog friendly also. We will stay there again.
