I grew up coming to the island, staying in a house a block away from this house - where my kids have been coming since they were born. I have friends in many other Fire Island communities, and feel strongly that we have found the best spot - close to stores, restaurants and nature walks, but also quiet, uncrowded and unique in many ways. The friends I grew up with moved to California and Boston, but still come out every summer with their kids and stay at their families' houses - all within a few blocks of each other. Some of our guests have been renting from us since their kids were babies, and keep coming back, joined by their now grown-up kids.
So yeah, I think this must be the place!
