We had a great stay at Elana's house! It was perfect for our family to reconnect with our young teens after summer camp ended and before the busy school year starts. The house is so clean, modern, and well-cared for—it really looks like the pictures. The kitchen is well-stocked but you should just order in or go out for tacos here—delicious. The beach is an easy 15-minute walk through a residential neighborhood or you can drive, parking near the beach is not difficult. We enjoyed surf lessons with the Local Collective and renting boogie boards (both nearby at Beach 69th Street). After a day at the beach, rinsing off in the outdoor shower and relaxing in the backyard hot tub was a real treat. It was very cool to chill and watch the planes leaving from JFK. Enjoy and cheers to great hosts like Elana!
