Coastal Villa Suite pool•sauna•gym•theater•beach
Wow just Wow HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This Airbnb is incredible. The drive up alone made me feel like I was no longer in NY lol. I gave Kayla a heads up that I was less than 10 mins away from the house and she responded right away and made the arrival so easy. The house is unbelievable! Its so beautiful in person, the pictures don't do it justice. We rented it for a night for my sons birthday and we had a pool gathering with family and used the BBQ for grilling. The pool is HUGE and goes pretty deep is you enjoy a good swim! Everything was ready for us to use and if we had any questions, Kayla was readily available to answer. The house was very comfy and accommodated us very well. In the evening, The pool table gave us lots of competitive energy and fun while the kiddos watched movies in the theater. I appreciated the air purifiers in the house, it let's me know that the space is constantly clean and free of dust and dander. Thank you so much Kayla and we hope to use this space in the future!

Joyful Beach House, viewing The Great South Bay
The beach house was perfect, just as described. It was clean and very homely, in a lovely location. Natasha was a great host from start to finish. Would definitely recommend to friends/family looking for a place to stay in Patchogue. Many thanks Natasha

1BR full cottage, 1 min walk to private beach
This is our second time at Kerry’s place and we wish we could come back every weekend!! The place is so comfortable and cozy and the fact that our dog was welcome was so wonderful. The neighborhood is so picturesque and we loved just walking around the area! Kerry and her husband were so welcoming and warm but also gave us our privacy while we were there. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cute coastal getaway!

Great little place just for a couple
We just stayed at this Airbnb for less than 12 hours but it was perfect!! We got in late, but the check in was so easy and seamless. Marina has the whole place stocked with essentials like bath products, snacks, and water bottles.

Private Studio in Lovely South Bayport
This was a perfect base for us to visit our family in nearby Blue Point. We knew the neighborhood and felt right at home. We will try to stay here every time we visit.

Waterview+Pool, FreeForDogs! Kayaks/PingPong/Bikes
We had a wonderful two day stay at Roger and Amy’s place. It was fantastic- such a beautiful, inviting home. Our kids had a blast in the heated pool- we could barely get them to come out despite it being under 60 degrees out! The kitchen was stocked with more than just kitchen basics- the spice cabinet had soo many different choices ! It was probably the most perfect AirBnb experience I’ve had and we travel plenty.

Walk to Bay and Ocean-Newly Renovated
Wonderful and cozy apartment! We were in town for a wedding and needed a clean and safe space to make home base. This was perfect. Would absolutely stay again!

Cottage: Walk to the bay, ferries and town center.
We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this quiet neighbors hood! Easy walking distance to restaurants, churches and library! The bed was very comfortable .

Geoffrey and Thomas were very gracious hosts, filled with benevolence, they greeted us with such warmth, gave us a tour of their beautiful home, along with the complimentary beverages, providing us with resources as well as information about the island since we’re newcomers, the house was lovely, clean and serene, hot tub was amazing, we enjoyed hearing their stories about fire island as well as giving us recommendations for food, shopping and sightseeing, it’s good to know fellow New Yorkers will have your back, very happy we picked their place to stay, absolutely would come back.

Charming Beach Cottage in OCEAN BAY PARK
Erin’s place was perfect! We did a girls trip to fire island over memorial day weekend, it was the perfect size for 3 of us. Erin’s place was situated about a 30 min walk from the Ocean Beach, and super easy to get to from the Ocean Bay Park (I think?) Ferry Station, so it was super easy to get to. We had such a lovely weekend exploring the island, and could easily get to other parts of the island (i.e. Cherry Grove) by Water Taxi. Erin was extremely helpful with navigation guidance. We would definitely come back again!

3 Bedroom Waterfront Dream CherryGrove Fire Island
We had a lovely time and were very impressed with Gabrielle's response time when we had questions. I plan on returning next year!

Studio Apt in Cherry Grove, FI.
Great location with great outdoor seating for all types of activities. Beach access was convenient and the towels, chairs and beach umbrella were nice to have. This studio didn’t have great privacy incase that is a concern but it was fine with us. Hope to stay again.

Fire Island Beach House
We had a relaxing stay in Fire Island. The house is cute with lots of quirky beachy Fire Island charm. Location is excellent - just a short walk from ocean bay park ferry and super close to the beach. The outdoor shower (with hot water!) was such a great bonus feature of the house! All in all we would definitely recommend booking. Thanks for a great stay :)

Your guide to Fire Island
All About Fire Island
In the 1920s, New York theater folks started hopping from the island of Manhattan to another long and narrow island about 60 miles east called Fire Island. Soon, other creatives followed — writers and artists, and eventually the celebrity crowd looking for a getaway from the big city in the form of a Fire Island vacation. Only a quarter of a mile wide, the island is filled with sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches on one side and the Great South Bay’s shores on the other.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Fire Island
Despite its proximity to Long Island, conditions can be quite different on Fire Island than on the mainland. Along with the sprawling sea views comes extreme weather, which can swing from more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit in August to below zero December through February. That said, summers tend to be warm and humid, with temperatures in the 60s to 80s. Springs can be cool and windy, ranging from the 30s to 60s, and falls and winters are cold with periods of rain, usually in the 30s to 50s. No matter what time of year, it’s a good idea to keep checking the forecast and always be ready with multiple layers. Also be aware that Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November.
Top things to do in Fire Island
Ocean Beach
The island’s largest hamlet channels a Greenwich Village vibe, with a family-friendly downtown area lined with restaurants, boutiques, and bars, plus a lifeguarded ocean beach and bayside marina.
Ocean Bay Park
Just east of Ocean Beach is the slightly more laidback community of Ocean Bay Park — just a half-mile long — popular with both singles and family crowds, despite the lack of lifeguards on duty.
Kismet
The annual clam shucking contest draws visitors to this hamlet on the far western point of the island near the Fire Island Lighthouse. As opposed to some exclusive communities, Kismet is known for welcoming all into its five blocks.
Fire Island Pines & Cherry Grove
Better known as simply the Pines and the Grove, these two villages were among the first places in the country where the LGBTQ community could be open about their identities; they remain a popular destination for the community. Boardwalks line both hamlets, connecting the beaches with restaurants and nightlife hotspots.
