The Kook House did not disappoint! After a summer of being apart, this was the perfect place for our group of ten ladies to get together and enjoy the Rockaways.
Communication with Michael was extremely easy and efficient. We even had a cake delivered the day of our arrival (before our checkin) and he had it waiting in our fridge when we arrived!
The space at the house is great. Exactly as pictured. We had some storms passing through, but were still able to take advantage of the grill/great kitchen and outdoor patio. There is a window unit upstairs and downstairs which were sufficient in late August.
The nearest beach is the surfing beach, but it worked out great since the weather was a little overcast anyway. There are also convenient/clean public bathrooms, so if you don't plan on getting in the water I highly recommend.
On the last day we also stopped by Michael's coffee shop Locals which was delicious (about 3 blocks from the house). There's a Stop 'n Shop and wine & liquor stores nearby as well. Super convenient location overall. Would definitely come back :)
