This unique boathouse located on the beachfront of Rockaway Beach is number one on my list because of it’s spacious yet cozy feel. The Ziggy Surfhouse has 4 bedrooms, 7 baths, and holds 12 guests! Host Ben Sargent, who has previously starred as a host on Hookline and Diner on the Cooking Channel isn’t only offering his beautiful home but can also teach you how to surf or fish if you ask! This home is a bit on the pricier side averaging on $680 per night but still definitely worth it.
