Quiet place to stay

We spent two nights here and enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed - even shampoo and conditioner in the shower which we had forgotten. The house was very nicely decorated and had modern furnishings. We could see the beach from the front windows and it was less than a minute's walk to the beach. Would stay here again.

The place to be in Rockaway Beach

The house is great and the beach is literally right across the road. The house is well equipped for cooking meals in. Rockaway beach leaves a little to be desired restaurant wise. Otherwise great, quiet, relaxing place to spend some time!

Perfection

Cracker Box Palace was no cracker box! It was beautifully decorated and so very clean! We felt like we were the first to stay in your home complete with all the comforts of home. Our only complaint was we were unable to stream any TV and we were not familiar with how to operate Roku.

College graduation celebration

My daughter recently graduated from university in Colorado. We decided to do a trip to celebrate. Given anywhere in the world, she wanted to come back to Rockaway Beach and stay at the Cracker Box Palace where we had stayed three years prior. The setting is idyllic and the property is perfect. I look forward to a future visit.

Great home!

Property was just as advertised. Nicely decorated, extremely clean, well equipped and very cozy. The view of the ocean from the home was beautiful. Very walkable to shops and restaurants. Unfortunately, we had to cut our visit short by a day because my granddaughter felt ill. Hopefully, would like to return one day. What a great home!

Lovely home steps from the beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house is just steps away from the beach with a great view from the common areas. The host put much thought into making the home comfortable and welcoming. It has a split heat pump to keep the home warm and cooled, as well as a fireplace for those cool wintery days. Town is just down the street and there are plenty of restaurants both in town and near by. A couple of grocery stores as well with reasonable prices for items you might have forgotten. We will definitely return.

Like the song - they are expecting you

Simply exquisite, the Crackerbox Palace shines in all dimensions. The abundance of windows gives the house a dazzling character that instantly brightens one's mood. The expansive beach is up the path across the street. Undoubtedly, the top rental house in the area is quiet, stocked well, and with intelligent attention to detail—in a word, superb.

What it doesn't show is that the path to the beach is quite steep. Being in our 70's that was a bit of a surprise. Husband could not get down to the beach and the only reason I could is that my 22 year old grandson walked ahead of me and we took it one step at a time.

Chill perfection

Stayed for four nights with adult child, their SO, and spouse. The host communicated clearly on booking, and well in advance of stay. Checking in was absolutely seamless.The house itself is both charming and designed to be easy to stay in, easy to keep clean. Kitchen included full sized refrigerator, every utensil we needed (cutting boards, wine tools, knives, coffee maker), and ample prep space. The views are spectacular, and the beach is literal steps away (access is down natural stone "stairs," so do consider this if any in your party has accessibility needs).Overall, this has been one of the best short term rentals I've ever experienced. Clean, well-maintained, intelligently appointed, easy-going but beautiful. My husband said it reminded him of the beach houses (and beach neighborhoods) of his 1970s childhood. Given the opportunity to stay here again, and longer, I'd jump at the chance.

Beautifully Appointed and Beautiful Location

This house is a gem in an area that lacks sophisticated options! The house is cozy, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need to enjoy the shore. The beds are comfy, the kitchen is fully equipped, the tv has Roku if you want to watch a show at night. You are steps away from the beach. The town itself lacks healthy food options, so stock up on things before heading out.
