Shrimpalope - 6 bd, Hot Tub, Arcade, Oceanview | House in Rockaway Beach

Shrimpalope is a great beach house built in the 50’s with lots of vintage charm. It’s across the street from the beach and a short 5 minute walk to the restaurants, markets and shops in town. The house sits on a ridge above the street providing both privacy and a partial view of the ocean from the spacious front deck, and easy beach access is only a hundred feet away, plus an arcade game room in the daylight basement for rainy days!
Note that this house used to be called Perchalope :)
This is a great place for a large or extended family, several families or a group of friends.
The main floor has a living room with wood stove and a view of the ocean from a large picture window. The main floor also has the dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms with queen beds and a full bathroom
Upstairs, there is one bedroom with an attached bathroom. The bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bed, plus there is a loft area with an additional twin bed. The upstair is a great space for all the kids or can fit a family of four.
Downstairs is a partially finished walk-out basement that has two bedrooms with queen beds, one full bathroom and a retro arcade game room.
The games in the arcade will vary, but may include ping pong, a double shot 2 player basketball game and retro arcade game such as Dig Dug multicade (with 60 games including Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug and many more). All games are set for free play, so no need to bring quarters. Please note that some arcade games may not be operational during your stay, these are older games that sometimes break and we can't always fix them right away.
