Pride of ownership is apparent from the first moment that you see the Cracker Box Palace. The view is great, and the house is clean and well-organized. It stormed while we were at the coast, and we felt safe and snug in the house. We can't wait to go back!

The Cracker box Palace is very comfortable with a good view of the ocean. The Photos are accurate. The interior looks new and the beds are softer but comfortable to us. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, easy to find. The beach is a short walk away.

Almost ideal location...thank goodness for the empty lot across the street to not block great ocean view. Well stocked except for missing an iron...which I think is necessary if you are traveling so bring a travel iron with you. Host very receptive and answered all my questions ahead of time. Comfortable beds so make sure and open the window at night for that nice ocean breeze. Husband needed his TV fix so having Ruko was great (one big reason I selected the Cracker box palace over others). Lots of great little shops for souvineers. Some eating places better than others and more in close by Garabadli. Great breakast at Grumpy's in Rockaway and dinner at Pirates Cove in Garabaldi. Overall, great place for reading and relaxing.

Wonderful beach house, we enjoyed our stay so much! Easy to find, perfectly clean, all the amenities you need. Loved the shower, beds were comfortable, & so great to have a washer/dryer we could pack minimally. Would stay hear again in a heartbeat. Great central location to tour the coast. We hit up some great beaches within miles & Rockaway beach is beautiful. Great little beach town with friendly locals.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our beach vacation. The proximity to the sandy beach was perfect, and the ocean view from the picture windows was amazing. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. It was great having ground floor access to the second shower to wash off the sand without having to walk all the way through the house.

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.

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.

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.

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.
