The house is in a great location with great views of the city from a peaceful area. The listing was accurately described and the owner was great to deal with. The furnishings could use some updating and some TLC. The owner was very responsive and took care of everything immediately the two times we had to call him.
It was quiet
Nice property with tons of space for my small family. It will fit 2 families with 2 kids each easily.
Had a wonderful time at the property. We enjoyed being able to relax in a home environment while visiting family for Christmas.
We are a family of 9 and vacation every year around Christmas. The house was more than enough space for all of us to Vacation comfortably. I don’t think that we could’ve gotten a better location, easy travel via subway to manhattan, easy travel via car to Long Island. The view is more beautiful than I imagined it could be. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Pizza from Tommy’s a short walk away was the best pizza I ever had! Michael is so responsive and very accommodating. I would recommend this property to all of my friends and family. It was such an enjoyable experience and vacation. Thank you Michael for everything!
We really enjoyed our stay Surrounding could have been a bit more up-keep The house was fine with a few hick-ups which we fixed ourselves where possible and we had great assistance from Michael. However, he seemed to think there was damaged to his countertop by us. For the record we meet the damaged and it was covered over with a glass filled with tea bags Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and took very good are of the house I think the furnishings in the living room need upgrade and in darker colours
The house was awesome, we really enjoyed our stay, the only concern we had was the high tide that flooded us in, we were unaware of this.
The house is right by the ocean, communication with Michael went smoothly, he was able to answer all out questions and was very friendly and wanted to make us feel welcomed. The area is safe and there is not much traffic, so it is also quiet. The sunset over Manhattan is amazing! The connection with the rest of the city is pretty ok, there is the A line which takes you directly to Manhattan. There is also a bus which goes to the beach and Queens. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet place (we were travelling with a 2-year-old) but you also want to do some sightseeing.
Michael and his family were so kind! It was perfect for us. My teenagers by the end of our trip were taking the train/subway in an out of the city on their own and had the best time.
Looking to visit NYC but don’t relish the thought of sleeping in a concrete jungle? Broad Channel is a small beach town within the metropolis of NYC. This house is right on the water and every night we savoured watching the sunset over the skyscrapers of NYC. It was like we were living in a postcard. Our host Mike was friendly, easy to message and his home had all the space and amenities we needed. Do yourself a favour and go the less traditional NYC vacation route...forget an overpriced standard hotel,room in Times Square. Stay somewhere where you can sleep with the windows open, have space to recharge and sea air to breathe. 5stars!
