The houseboat was a great place to have as a base while exploring the Rockaways. The marina itself is cute and friendly, and access to the beach was great. The boat itself was cozy and a nice place to relax after a tiring day in the sun. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evening and watching the wild birds from the local conservation area. Definitely recommend it as a fun change of pace for an adventurous but relaxing getaway.
