NEW Listing! Light filled cozy cottage just minutes from everything!
You'll love your stay at this light filled cozy yet spacious two bedroom (and two full bath) cottage located in Ocean Beach, the largest town on Fire Island. A car free barrier island, a visit to Fire Island will feel like a real getaway. To get to the house, it's a short 6 minute walk from the ferry in Ocean Beach (which is arrived at from Bay Shore, Long Island). A discreet entry on a switchback ramp takes you to a spacious wraparound deck under a giant maple tree and surrounded by bamboo. On the deck you will have all the privacy you need as you move easily between the house and the deck (and to the large outdoor shower at the rear of the house). But you are still just a few blocks from town where you will find shopping, restaurants, and nightlife AND less than 2 blocks from the beach!
You enter the house off the deck in the main living room (Living Room 1) that has wraparound windows, a comfy couch, chairs and a television. From this room you can walk 2 steps up to the large primary bedroom with a spacious en suite bathroom. There is direct access from that bedroom to a sunny back area of the deck overlooking a big weeping willow tree. You also access the guest bedroom from the living room as well as the guest bathroom. The guest bathroom is also spacious, with a very large shower and cabinets for storage. There is a door for direct access from the guest bedroom into this bathroom.
The kitchen has bright white Corian countertops with stools to sit at and chat while someone is cooking.
In addition to the wraparound windows, there are ceiling fans and skylights in most rooms. So while the house has central AC (and heat) you might not need to use it except for during the hottest days.

The house was amazing. Great location right in the middle between town and the beach. Quiet and secluded the bamboo trees were awesome.
The house was lovely and comfortable.
Host was great quick to answer questions and friendly.
We had such a peaceful and relaxing stay! The house is absolutely beautiful, it's clean, it's spacious and it is very well equipped with all of the essentials, and then some! Lots of natural light and cool breezes throughout. The kitchen is loaded with cookware and utensils, and the fridge is large and holds lots of food. The bedrooms are roomy and each has a very comfortable bed. This home is in a perfect location in Ocean Beach on a very quiet block with short walks to town and the beach. Lots of beach gear provided and four bicycles, as well. The owner, Johanna, was very quick to answer any questions we had and provided us with lots of helpful information. By the end of our stay, we all felt a noticeable feeling of tranquility and peacefulness. We are so happy to have had the opportunity to stay there and we look forward to booking again next season!
I live in Brooklyn, NY and work as an architect. I fell in love with this house as soon as I saw it, and it you come stay I think you'll see why!While I am new to VRBO, I have been renting this house - and using it personally - for many years now.
Fire Island is a wonderful place. We visited for years and eventually decided to buy a place because we loved it so much. It takes less than 3 hours to get here from NYC but feels like a million miles away!
This house is great for a small family or close friends. Many houses on Fire Island are 4 bedrooms or larger, but don't really feel like a home. This house feels like a place you could live year round.
