We absolutely loved our four-day stay at Kook House! Mike is an amazing and responsive host. His home is beautiful and so comfortable. We instantly felt at home. We loved the location--just two blocks from the A train, four blocks from the beach, lots of parking, no crowding or congestion. My husband surfs, so being so close to the surf beach was a huge plus! Tropical Storm Isaias meant a rainy day, but we didn't mind at all because we were so comfortable. The A/C was strong, the kitchen was top-notch for cooking, the TV was huge and came with Netflix and other apps, and the living room super-spacious. Just the vacation and getaway we needed! We highly recommend staying at Kook House.
