About this property

The Surfcomber Unit 1

Summary:

One Bedroom Apt. in Ocean Bay Park with deck & gas grill



The Space:

Perfect for a romantic escapade with your significant other, this condo located in the heart of Ocean Bay Park and accessible only by ferry is ready to be your home away from home! You can reach the ferry terminal in Bay Shore after a 15-minute drive from Long Island MacArthur Airport, meaning you'll be enjoying your sandy paradise in no time. Paid parking is available at 99 Maple Ave. on the right for those arriving at the ferry terminal by car. As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted by a simple yet sunny interior that will delight you immediately. Drop your bags and kick your feet up in the living area, or step outside to the private gated deck and spend your evening relaxing. When you return from the beach, the outdoor shower will be ready to help you rinse off the sand. Then, whenever hunger strikes, you can surprise your friends with a savory homemade meal prepared in the well-equipped kitchen, and if you'd like to step it up a notch, the gas grill available is a great option.



This home is only 1.5 blocks from the beach and the Atlantic Ocean, as well as mere steps from Fire Island SUP Co. - a one-stop shop for watersports lessons and parasailing, paddleboard, and tubing rentals. Seaview is a short five-minute walk away, while Ocean Beach is only a mile from you, giving you even more options while out and about. Spend hot summer days at Sunken Forest a 23-minute walk away, where you can enjoy some shade and take a ranger-led walk through the trees and dunes. After a gorgeous day on the sand, take your pick from the dozens of local restaurants to sate your appetite. Steps away in the neighborhood is Schooner's Inn, a restaurant and bar near the ferry while Flynn's Fire Island is a two-minute walk from you. Dino's on the Bay deli and Island Pantry are a bit further, but well worth the five-minute walk. Island Mermaid and Hideaway are also great dining options one mile away in Ocean Beach. Traveling five miles will take you to the Fire Island Lighthouse, where you can learn about the history of Fire Island and take a tour of the tower.



The other two homes on the property, Unit 2 and Unit 3, are available to rent as well; all three condos can be rented together as The Surfcomber Multi-Residence Home.

Good location inaccurate description

The location was great and the place was clean but we were completely misinformed about the property. We were told there would be access to an outdoor shower,AC, toiletries, linens and a grill. We did not have access to the outdoor shower, there was no AC, toiletries or extra linens. There was no lighter to start the grill or any utensils or tools to use it. We were asked to keep the thermostat at 68 , there was no thermostat.

Bed bugs, back communication. Went into the rental and couch was very cruddy. We used bikes with the lock combo they provided (worked) and then later tried to unlock and the combo no longer work. Contacted property manager who said I was lying! Provided video proof, no reply. Later came back to property at midnight to sleep discovered bedbugs on pull out couch and main bed! Had to scramble to move to hotel so didn't even sleep there. Came home a day early, and even though I immediately did laundry, vaccummed luggage, saw a bedbug on my floor this morning. I am waiting to hear still from the property where I never slept for a refund.

Lovely Getaway

Our bungalow was clean and well-equipped and a short walk from the beach, restaurants and a food market. Communication was great and check-in was easy. Will probably rent this or a similar unit again when the weather is warmer, as it was a little on the chilly side in October.

Sweet little Ocean Bay condo

Clean, comfortable, and colorful with the fun yellow accents. We are a family of four originally from NYC and we like cozy so the fact that the kitchen and deck are small was fine with us. The photos are a good representation which I always appreciate. Great location!

Book it!

We loved this fully stocked, super clean rental! Came stocked with some essentials, extra towels, beach chairs, umbrella, and even books to read & games to play! We loved using the outdoor shower for sandy feet and to rinse off our dog :) location was excellent and right next to the ferry, beach bars, and ocean access - thank you for a great time! We’ll be back soon :) :)

I would definitely stay here again!

The Surfcomber (Unit 1) was everything we hoped to expect. It’s pet friendly which allowed us to bring our 3 y/o French Bulldog; spacious, clean, and private. The entrances for each unit is semi-separate (along side of each other) but the patio was ours alone with a grill, table, and outdoor shower. The walk from the ferry was very short and the distance to beach is slightly longer. We are very happy and would definitely rent again.

Great little apt for a couple.

We were here last September and again this year. We stayed 11 nights, grilled a lot at home, really good food market in Seaview, lots of walks to neighbor communities, enjoyed sunsets, sunrises, and even a moonrise. Very close to ferry, a couple restaurants, and a small food market. All good but I would suggest to remove the large table on the deck for a small one so we could have more open deck space.

Perfect beach spot

The stay was excellent. The walk to the beach was very short and there were a number of places to grab a drink and food within a short walking distance. The house was clean and provided us with all we needed. We spent most of our time at the beach. The location and the cleanliness of the house was the highlight. Overall I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a good, clean place to stay that's very close to the beach.

Great Getaway for Beach Lovers

I have been visiting Fire Island for generations. It’s hard to find a place that is not a busy hotel or large rental. I needed some quite time alone and this was a perfect spot for me. It would also be good for a couple or small family. There are no cars on Fire Island so you have to walk everywhere or rent a bike. This place is conveniently located - close to the ferry, centrally located in Ocean Bay Park, and a two block walk to the beach. The place was clean and comfortable. It had a kitchen and outdoor grill so I enjoyed cooking while I was there. Every night I took a walk to the ferry dock to see amazing sunsets. The two busy restaurants / bars are a short walk away if you’re interested in the social scene. There is a small grocery store within walking distance as well. Most impressive was the Vacasa staff that saw to it I had everything I needed and that my stay was very enjoyable. I definitely can’t wait to visit again. 🌞🌊

This is the second time I have stayed on this property with my young children. The property is clean and inviting and super close to the ferry. Housekeeping had forgotten to stock something expected prior to our arrival. I called the property manager and he was there within ten minutes! This is the perfect getaway!
