We had a great weekend at the Kook House and in the Rockaways!! We rented it with our good friends, and it was very comfortable for 4 adults and 3 small kids. The house has a great, fresh beach vibe. Everything was as pictured, and the house was very clean. Loved the individual A/C splits in the bedrooms, so we could control the temperature in each space.
It was a little cool while we were there, so we didn't get to use the outdoor shower. Street parking was always easy to find close to the house. Mike was an awesome host and very responsive. We walked to the Rockaway Brewing Co., which had yummy food, great music, and casual outdoor seating that was perfect for our families and our first night there. We also walked to a nearby playground that was really amazing and only 2 blocks away! Part of the driveway, off the deck, is used to store wetsuits for a local surfing school. It was not in our way at all, and it was actually fun to get a peek behind the scenes.
We met a few of the surf instructors as they picked up or dropped off wetsuits, and they were super friendly. Hope to come back and get some lessons next time!!
