We had a lovely mini vacation in the Rockaways staying in this apartment. It is less than a block from the beach and boardwalk, and we had full use of a cute backyard. Marek is incredibly thoughtful, stocking the fridge with water, putting out a bottle of wine, and even stocking the kitchen with basic cooking needs like olive oil. The apartment has beach towels and beach chairs, so there is very little you need to bring. We would absolutely book here again.
