Joe's Bungalow is a very special place. We are family of 3 who has been quarantined in a Chelsea 1br with a toddler for the better part of the last 4 months. The space felt luxurious, and really well-appointed. We had the in-laws for 2 nights, and a cousin for another..still we felt there was plenty of space for us all to unwind. Joe has very cool furnishings and art, and the bungalow has been restored well with the classic charm intact. We wished it was ours and very much enjoyed pretending it was, lol! Our toddler thoroughly enjoyed the fun collection of toys and the large living area to play/watch big screen shows. The bedding and beds are very comfy, the temperature easy to regulate in all rooms, and the kitchen/grill are a excellent place to cook up creative meals for the family. The location is terrific- we are frequenters of RWB and have stayed in the 90's only...so we were hesitant about the area as it's near the industriy on the bay, but we were pleasantly surprised - we now like Averne WAY better than the 90's/Holland. We felt safe, we enjoyed the beaches more (Joe let us use his board too, A+), overall much better for families and COVID distancing. We had Rockaway brewery pizza (DELICIOUS), Bakesy's BBQ, but mostly cooked our own...enjoyed the lovely bungalow time with family. Joe's a damn good host who is quick to respond, helpful (stopped by with some things we needed on-call), and seems to enjoy sharing his home with guests. We hope to come again for a longer stay!
