Had a wonderful stay! The apartment was stocked with everything we needed including food items! The only thing missing was measuring cups/spoons. Not the most beautiful part of Rockaway beach (the amount of trash on the streets and beaches was appalling) but the apartment was beautiful and provided just what we needed. The train was about a 20 minute walk and a 5 minute drive with about an hour and a half ride into Manhattan (if you are not familiar with the area I suggest driving to the train). The beach (on the canal) was a short walk (about 1-2 minutes). The beach area on the Atlantic (ideal for surfing/boarding), is about 5 more minutes up the “boardwalk” or a 15 minute drive to the nicer beach area. The Ferry stop that goes into the city is about a 15 minute drive from the house. Unfortunately the area is not what we were expecting for a “beach house” however Anthony’s hospitality and home made up for the very disappointing area. For full disclosure, the house is located in a city not a resort/beach town (ie. Ocean City or Atlantic City), I suggest using Google maps to check out the area before booking.
