We have rented this location for a number of years. It could use some updates and some more TLC but you cannot beat the location. If you are looking to spend time on the beach this is a great place to do it.

Beautiful home right on the water
Spent a week working from this location and enjoying the mornings and evenings at the beach. House had almost everything we needed. Loved our time. Great place if you want the quiet and the beach.
The house was perfect for our family. The older generation was able to sit on the deck all day and watch the kids playing on the beach nearby. The deer walked about. Beautiful ocean views from most rooms. Everything you could need was provided. We will definitely rent again! It was perfect!!!
The place was absolutely fantastic. Great views. Cleanliness and condition when we arrived was amazing. We loved it and cannot wait to book again. Thank you so much for making this a wonderful excursion for our family!!

On the ocean
Great house on the ocean…no patio furniture, no bikes, not a great outdoor shower. Views are spectacular, clean, pretty new condition.
The house has an elegant open concept design allowing us to see ocean views from the kitchen, dining, and both master bedrooms. It looks like it’s a new construction with everything architected (eg, flow, views, wrap around deck, sliding doors. Etc) and interior designed (eg, shiplap, double size fridge, kitchen cabinet whisper close, cute shower tiles, etc).
This is a hidden gem on Fire Island.
I want to thank Vacasa and the homeowners for making our stay at your home very memorable. The location , house and amenities were perfect
We celebrated my sons HS graduation with family and friends and it was amazing. Thank you!

The house is wonderful and you cannot beat the location. I sat outside on the back deck for my morning coffee and watch dolphins!
