Classic Fire Island! Adorable Seaview Cottage - 2nd house from the beach.

Be inspired: Maurice Sendak wrote 'Where The Wild Things Are' while summering in this house!

Our little house built in 1925 is perfect for a quiet vacation... or a writer's retreat. Our home, secluded by dense foliage, gives privacy and silence that is only punctuated by the music of the changing tides and the birds' call. We are the second house from the beach -- roll out of the bed and into the ocean!
Seaview is a quiet family community with lifeguards, kiddie pool and bay beach access, free swimming lessons, activities for children, baseball field, playground, tennis courts, and the best market on the island- Seaview Market! 7 minute walk to the ferry. Very close to Ocean Beach with shops and restaurants.
There are 4 bedrooms, all with A/C and overhead fans - 1 queen size bed, 1 full size bed, 2 rooms with 2 single beds. A portable A/C unit is downstairs as well as fans. For those colder months, there is a wood-burning fireplace. There are 1 1/2 baths plus a glorious outside shower.
The kitchen is fully equipped. There is a grill for outside dining on the deck. This is not a rental home, but our family home that we rent out only for a brief period every summer.
Lifeguards on the ocean and bay beach. Baby pool (and free swimming lessons) and playground - basket ball court access. Baseball field.
