About this property
Windows on the Sea ★ Modern Pool & Beach Retreat ★ 100 ft to Beach ★ 2 Masters
Windows on the Sea is the kind of beach house families hope to find but rarely do: just 100 feet from the ocean, with your own private pool and hot tub overlooking the water. Days flow easily between the beach and the pool, bikes and barefoot walks around the island, and sunset dinners on the deck while the kids play nearby. Thoughtfully designed and fully stocked with bikes, beach gear, games, and everything families need, the house makes it easy to settle in, slow down, and enjoy the kind of beach week everyone remembers long after it ends.
No cars. No crowds. Just bikes, beach days, and room to truly unwind.
Whether you're traveling with another family, bringing grandparents, or gathering everyone for a summer week by the sea, the house was created so every detail is already handled, leaving you free to enjoy the moments that matter most.

Guests often tell us the same thing after their stay: “You've really thought of everything.”
THE SPACE
Inside, the home is bright, airy, and designed for gathering.
The open great room features soaring ceilings, comfortable seating, Sonos speakers throughout the house, and large glass doors that open onto the deck. Just off the main living space, the top-floor primary suite offers a quiet retreat with ocean views — perfect for early mornings or winding down at the end of the day.
From morning coffee to evening cocktails, the deck quickly becomes everyone’s favorite place to be.
The kitchen is built for real cooking, not just vacation basics. With a large refrigerator/freezer, induction range, convection oven, and every small appliance you might need, it’s easy to host dinners for your group or flip pancakes before a beach day.
Outside, the private pool and hot tub sit above the sand with ocean peeks — the perfect place to relax while the kids swim. The wet bar, ice maker, and grill make outdoor dinners effortless.
Downstairs, the home offers a quieter retreat with additional bedrooms and a second primary suite — ideal for grandparents, another family, or anyone looking for a bit more privacy. The layout was intentionally designed to give everyone space to unwind, while still feeling connected throughout the home.
►►►►WHERE YOU’LL SLEEP ◄◄◄◄

About the host
Hosted by Anthony + Whitney
We’re Whitney and Anthony, the family behind Awayzing Stays. What started as our own search for places to travel with friends and kids has grown into a small collection of homes designed specifically for families. We live in Brooklyn with our kids, so having a place where life slows down, where bikes replace cars and the soundtrack is waves instead of traffic, has always felt special to us. Fire Island quickly became that place.
We manage every detail of this home ourselves, from the design choices to the beach gear in the closet. Our goal is simple: create a space that feels beautiful, comfortable, and truly easy for families to enjoy together.
If you have questions before or during your stay, you’ll always be communicating directly with us. We love helping guests discover the little things that make Fire Island magical.
Why they chose this property
Ocean Bay Park strikes the perfect balance on Fire Island. It’s lively enough to have great restaurants, ice cream, and a fun community vibe, but still relaxed and family-friendly.
What we love most is how easy everything feels here. The beach is just steps away, the ferry is close by, and getting around means bikes, wagons, and barefoot walks down the boardwalk.
For families coming from the city, it’s a rare kind of escape: one where kids can roam freely, neighbors stop to chat, and the pace of the day naturally slows down.
What makes this property unique
Windows on the Sea was designed to make a Fire Island vacation feel effortless.
The location alone is rare -just 100 feet from the beach with ocean views and a private pool and hot tub, something you don’t often find together on the island.
But what guests tend to notice most are the thoughtful details. The house is fully stocked with bikes, beach gear, wagons, games, and a kitchen that’s ready for real family meals. We designed the layout so multiple families can travel together comfortably, with spaces to gather and spaces to unwind. In short, it’s the kind of home where you can arrive, unpack once, and spend the rest of the week simply enjoying the beach, the pool, and time together.
Our promise as hosts is simple: we want your time here to feel easy, memorable, and genuinely relaxing. If there’s anything you need before or during your stay, we’re always just a message away and happy to help.
