Alexander's tiny house is the DREAM. We had 10 days in NYC for work and weren't sure if we were crazy staying out at Rockaway but it turned out to be the best decision we made.
We rode Lime bikes to & from the ferry most days, and it cost us just $2.75 to get into Manhattan - way more fun & enjoyable than the train/subway mission !
The house itself was perfect - a little oasis to come back to every night and Rockaway is an awesome spot. It had everything we needed, super clean and totally enough space for 2 people to base themselves for a work trip.
We ate the most insane food at Whits End, grabbed breakfast from the Rockaway Beach Bakery most days (2 mins down the road), drank beers & ate super delicious tacos at the Rockaway Surf Club (literally across the street), surfed & swam daily and felt like we were coming home every time we pulled into Rockaway on the ferry.
Alex & Valerie were amazing hosts - we arrived early into NYC and they let us check in as soon as we got there which was hugely appreciated after a long haul flight and a big week of work ahead.
Almost didn't want to write this review for fear of it being booked up next time we wanna stay ha ha !
