Our family had a good experience, the apartment was clean, check-in was pretty simple. The amenities and location were exactly as described by the host and details from other reviewers we're also helpful. Our family is familiar with Long Island, but we had never been to Far Rockaway. The property really is a block away from a small public beach and an endless boardwalk. It's about a 15 minute walk to the subway and we were able to hop on to go to Brooklyn and Manhattan - it takes a while, but it was easy. And the place was stocked with food including fruit, bread, eggs, water and coffee. Parking was not much of a challenge, but we had to park a block away a couple times during our week. Overall a great experience, would definitely go back.
