We had a great stay here the week of July 4. The house was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a fun week on the beach. Already planning our next trip back.
I stayed here with a group of friends and it was perfect! The owner was responsive with any questions we had. We enjoyed the location as it was right next to the beach and near a handful of restaurants .
We had the most wonderful time at this property. Pictures don’t do the house and outdoor area justice and the owner was extremely helpful and communicative. We will definitely be back!
Such a cute house steps away from the beach and near the ocean bay park ferry. It was perfect size and easy. Loved how there were bikes we could take to town and the market as well as beach chairs. Highly recommended and excited to come back another time!
Everything went just perfect , from the responsiveness of the owner . To the whole process it was just flawless. A wonderfull house , very close to the ferry, restaurant , market, and beach . Ill called a Gem!!!
I could not rave more about staying at this property! Starting with the ease and transparency of communication leading up to our stay, to the size and capabilities of the house! We had 6 adults staying here and all felt incredibly comfortable.. the bathrooms and bedrooms were all very spacious and updated, as well as the common areas! The outdoor shower, deck, and bicycles were all appreciated icing on the cake!
Incredibly delightful, we’ll equipped, comfortable. Everything about it was great. The beach umbrellas, chairs, towels were new / in good shape. The kitchen is updated and easy to move around in. - spacious. Well stocked. We were four older women on a getaway and couldn’t have been more satisfied.
Our Family of 6 had a summer dream vacation! This house perfectly suited our families needs. The house layout gave us plenty of space while all being together. The house is clean and equipped with everything needed for a summer get away, outside and in. BBQ, Big fridge, bikes, Beach chairs and umbrellas, indoor and outdoor lounge space, great access to the dock/town as well as the beach. We loved it!
I have nothing but great things to say!! My mother in law ended up having a cardiac emergency while at Housers for dinner staff /Police / Fire/ waitstaff/ bouncers helped us get her what she needed..
Homeowner very understanding when we were delayed to check out ..
This is a great property, with all amenities needed for you and your family If your looking to travel lite, then look no more. Everything was provided for you, so you can concentrate on your families needs, instead of worrying. The property is approx 300-350 steps from the beach, and chairs, umbrellas and towels are there for you. Awesome communication between Maureen and Renters Location is also close to a local market, Flynn’s, Schooners, and Ocean Beach is approximately a 20 minute stroll Convenience, convenience, convenience Enjoy your stay
We wish we could have stayed all summer! Mike and Maureen were very easy to communicate with — they quickly answered our questions ahead of our visit, and provided easy-to-follow instructions for the various gadgets around the home (AC units, lockboxes, etc).
The house had a great layout, with plenty of space for our family of four, and we used the many bicycles available to us to tour the island (the home is in a great location for pedaling around the different communities, or walking to the beach). The outdoor shower was also a summer treat!
We all agreed staying at Mike and Maureen's felt like we were staying at a friend's beach home, and we will definitely be returning!
Amazing property, pictures don’t do it justice. House is perfect for a fire island getaway. Had a wonderful stay, place was clean great location. Host was responsive
We had a wonderful stay! The nice new kitchen is well stocked, the bathrooms are recently updated and the beds are comfy! We loved the deck and spent our evening relaxing outside! The cabin is cozy but perfect for two small families with kids. Wonderful hosts and we would absolutely stay again!!
We had a great stay at this house. Beds are comfortable. Very close to the ferry and the beach. The kitchen is well-appointed and the AC is good for hot days. Communication with the owner, Maureen, was great for the only issue we had (cleaning staff arrived a little early on our last day). Be sure to bring soap, shampoo, etc.
This house was perfect for our annual Fire Island family vacation. Everything was clean, organized and accessible. The deck was perfect for grilling and hanging out. The bikes are in working condition and great for a morning ride. The AC throughout the house was lovely. Thank you for having us!
Perfect spot for 6 people. We had everything we needed, bikes, chairs, and a BBQ with extra propane. Everything in the kitchen was labeled so we knew where everything was and where to put it back.
Maureen and Mike own this little getaway on Ocean Bay Blvd on Fire Island. You'll be only steps away from the Ferry, Sunsets, Schooners, and of course Flynns. The house is close to all, yet far away enough to get lost in your thoughts...so if you're looking for a bungalow by the beach that has a good vibe, call Maureen and Mike. They'll make you feel right at home.
The entire process was so easy! And the house was perfect, close to the beach, close to the ferry! Maureen was so helpful with any questions or information needed. We plan on staying here once of a year!! Loved it!!
