A BEAUTIFULLY redesigned houseboat in the Jamaica Bay area of Rockaway Beach overlooking beautiful marina 59! You can’t get closer to surfing and fishing and we/you can even cook your catch! This boat is a work of art, and a ton of people have put A LOT of work into this boat. Photographers & Art Directors: do not attempt to lowball us! Boat is currently on land with stunning views of the entire marina! For production requests: contact rocklocations.com Yes, location fees apply for all shoots!

The space
This might be your best staycation ever!

Guest access
You can use the entire boat but please don’t take any surfboards from their spot...I will send you to a rental and surf school for your surfing needs.

Other things to note
If you are not CLEAN...Super clean and very responsible please do not even consider staying on this boat! THIS IS NOT A PARTY BOAT. It is rented to a max of 8 people...Any additional people over that will be asked to leave without question!!! I am a super nice host and excited to share this space along with my cabins in VT. However, I am very uptight when it comes to the condition of my houses. If you are reading this and thinking I sound like a total buzzkill...This houseboat is not for you. We removed the bathroom because guests were not responsible with the marina toilet...You can use the marine toilet and shower. In place of the bathroom we set up two additional bunk beds for kids!! We have a zero-flush toilet onboard and an outdoor shower!

Neighborhood highlights

Awesome surf and artist community...But the neighborhood just outside the marina is rough!!! Personally I love it! I know everyone at the grocery store, but I have had foreigners who just didn’t get the vibe;) If you are scared these sorts of spots...This place is not for you;)
