The hosts of this property are amazing communicators and so helpful! We were a group of six adults and one year-old infant and needed to understand if there was any equipment for babies in the house (there was a pack and play and a seat that attaches to the table). The owners communicated both through messages and by calling me to discuss our needs. While on the phone, I got a ton of useful information about the house, the neighborhood and Fire Island in general. It was amazing. Because there were no renters just before and after us, they invited us to enter early and leave late so we were able to enjoy the house for a little longer. I have never engaged with such lovely hosts!
As for the house, it had everything you need for a stay in Fire Island. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, with every utensil you can imagine and a variety of spices. The hosts also left us a lovely welcome bottle of wine. There were beach and bath towels, bikes, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie board, board games, and more. The location was great - just about a block and a half from the ocean and a couple of blocks from the bay, a convenience store, ice cream, pizza, and restaurants. Ocean Bay Park is a quiet town and we liked it that way. The beaches are lovely and uncrowded and don't miss the Sunken Forest.
A wonderful stay in Fire Island! Thanks, Kat and Fred!
