What a great beach getaway! My husband and I stayed for 2 nights with our 1-year-old baby and it was perfect:
First, location - across the street from the beach (Beach 13th St), a 10-minute walk along the boardwalk to a playground and splash pad, around the corner from Pioneer Supermarkets, and a 20-minute walk to Tacos y Mas 😋 We also drove and had no trouble finding parking right by Anthony’s place.
Second, hospitality - Anthony is among the most thoughtful and generous hosts I’ve met through Airbnb. For example, the kitchen was well-stocked, making it easy for us to cook at home. He left a bowl of fresh fruit as well as a fridge full of food - eggs, orange juice, bread and jam, etc. Because of COVID-19, Anthony also provided disposable plates and utensils in case we did not feel comfortable using the standard supplies.
Third, comfort - the 3-bedroom apartment was a great size and more than enough for our family. Each room has its own remote-controlled a/c unit so we could have a comfortable temperature throughout. Each bedroom has closets and/or dressers to store your belongings. The largest bedroom has a small TV. The living room is comfortable and great for lounging with a big sofa and TV.
One tip: This is a much quieter area of Rockaway Beach than the Beach 90th St area, which means you get a lot more space to yourself and it’s generally more peaceful, but there is only 1 food establishment on the boardwalk. So it’s a great place to pack a picnic for your day at the beach. We also used Seamless to order dinner one night when we did not feel like cooking or going out.
Thank you, Anthony!
