We Didn't Want to Leave!
We were so delighted to spend a week here in this lovely home-even with some of the worst (rainiest) weather of the summer ... we were comforted by the beautiful kitchen, sound system, wifi, comfy living room and exotic master bedroom while it rained outside for 2 days. We didn't mind staying in, playing scrabble, cooking, and enjoying the view and feeling of being in a tree house. The yard/garden is lush and tranquil and really makes you feel like you have been transported ...I was reminded of a trip to Costa Rica where we stayed in a rainforest-while just a short trip from the city! I only wish it was cool enough to light a fire in the beautiful fireplace!
When the sun came out we enjoyed the clean and beautiful beach just a 1 minute walk away. We also loved having the bikes which were in great shape and took us to playgrounds, restaurants and on leisure rides to enjoy the houses and deer in the area. The island has such a great relaxed pace you feel like you stepped back in time, and getting around to other areas is easy and fun by bike or water taxi. We also loved our walk in the Sunken Forest, just about a mile and a half away, if you need a break from all the relaxing for some exercise.
We were so grateful to our host for having a kitchen with all the supplies and comfy bedding with down pillows and clean and new showers as well as decks that you could spend all day on-plenty of seating in sun or shade. We also truly appreciated the artistic design touches throughout the house, including some incredibly detailed moroccan style painting on various walls! This was truly a great escape and one we hope to revisit again soon!
its like borrowing your best friends place....
the owner could not make it any easier or make you feel more welcome. the decor is stunning as well as comfortable and everything is updated including wireless connection. could not be easier to do business with, phone calls returned promptly and even a welcome call to make sure everything is ok. garden is stunning and furnishings beautiful. it really is like being trusted in someone's home that you are very close with. conveniently located if you want to go into town or beach but everything you really need to recharge at the house.
Great Vacation
This is definitely a one of a kind home. Not your typical rental house, which usually is a square box with cheap furniture and appliances.
The home (not house) is beautifully decorated and perfectly situated close to the beach. The landscaping alone shows you that the owner really took a lot of time and put in a lot of thought into setting the perfect mood.
The bedrooms were light and airy on both floors. The kitchen was magnificent, and really blended well with the rest of the house. The feng shui of the home was apparent.
We loved the upper deck, the lower deck and the entrance to the home. The new air conditioners made the vacation even more enjoyable since there was a heat wave for the entire week.
With two families and all the kids, nobody got in anyone's way. The best part was that you felt secluded yet we were so close to everything.
Would definitely recommend this house to anyone who asks.
It's a charming place
The house is very private, as it's surrounded by trees and vegetation, there's even a vegetable garden. There are lots of bikes and a good trolley for transportation, as well as generous beach gear. It's an unusually large house for Fire Island and has a unique top deck, that is great to sit on for the sunsets. The Moroccan style is very tasteful and welcoming, and all the amenities are modern and well maintained.
For cooks, it's an especially good place to stay with a great kitchen. The two main decks are really delightful. The only drawback are the mosquitos which are pretty intense in the evenings, but that's true for all the properties just a little inland of the beach. The downstairs rooms are hot at night, but there are plenty of cooling fans.
It's a really relaxing place to stay and ideal for a family, who just want to enjoy more privacy than you can get in most properties on the island. We had a great time, and even with 6 adults and 4 kids the place never felt crowded. We would thoroughly recommend renting this place, especially if you have artistic tastes and are looking for something with a lot of character and charm, as well as good amenities.
