Beautiful house about 30 seconds from the beach. The house was clean and had all accommodations. The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. Weâve been taking our summer vacation in Fire Island for 7 years now and I think we have finally found our go-to house for the years to come.
Initially this was not my first choice because the photos do not compare to the actual look of the home. In person itâs a thousand times better. I was worried..... nevertheless we managed to great use of the amenities in the area. They are are team to rent from and I would do it again.
Everything was smooth from the beginning. The owners reached out with emails and texts and gave me tips. The place was exactly as described. Clean, very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The kitchen was well supplied and even had skewers, which we had forgotten. The beach is a very short walk from the house and the owners provided all that was needed for a day by the water. Fire Island was a breath of fresh air - literally and figuratively- much needed in these covid time. My daughter said âthis is the kind of place a Grandma has so the whole family can come and be together. Sums it up perfectly.I would highly recommend.
You can tell this family home has been loved and cherished by generations of kids and parents. It offers everything you need to enjoy your trips to the beach, back deck cookouts, and biking around town. It has that classic Fire Island family home feel--casual, relaxed, OK to get some sand on the floorboards. The outdoor shower is fantastic, and it's mere steps to the beach, on a very pretty block. It's the perfect sized house for two families. The owners are also very nice and communicative.
We've been coming to the Island since we were toddlers. Our father, a Broadway lyricist and sitcom script writer, fell in love with the place shortly after leaving the army, back in the Forties. As children, we spent some of the happiest times of our lives out here. We come out with our families in the spring and fall, a beautiful, quiet time. Fire Island has weathered many storms, and a fair amount of development, but remains essentially the same: a haven for those of us who love it.
This is a family vacation home, full of happy memories, comfortable yet modern in all the important ways. Fire Island is an enchanted place, a Shangri la as our father used to call it. With no roads and few vehicles, the air smells clean and sweet. Through the open windows facing the beach, you can hear and feel the ocean breathing. Walk east or west and you will encounter a series of communities, each with its own unique character. Take a dip, build sandcastles with the kids, come back home for a hot shower, then drinks and something tasty on the deck. It's a tradition!
