The house boat is super cute and well laid out. Definitely great for a relaxed couple getaway. It’s peaceful while also able to walk over to some fun dining options. The upper deck was one of our favorites in the late morning and the evenings. All instructions about the house boat were super clear and easy to follow. If you’re coming from NYC, consider taking the ferry to get to Rockaway as an additional bit of experience. Super simple and much cheaper than a car. Also more peaceful than taking the train. Will be returning at some point!
