Fire Island is a 35mile long barrier island located just off the South Shore of New York's Long Island. It is an island of many diverse communities. The house is located in a community called Lonelyville, one of the oldest on Fire Island. There are no cars permitted on Fire Island, the house comes with 4 bicycles - getting around is a joy in itself.
Our house is one removed from the Great South Bay, one block from the Atlantic ocean and the best family beach 1.5 hours from Times Square. This newly renovated house is stylish, comfortable and peaceful. We are a ten minute bike ride from Fair Harbor, where you will find The Pioneer Supermarket, Le Dock Restaurant and Liquor Store, the UnFriendly's Ice Cream stand, the Pizza shop and Corliss's General Store. Everything you may need is available on the island in Fair Harbor. The restaurant is excellent, the Pioneer carries the best prepared food, bread, produce fish and meat/chicken.
After a 25 minute ferry ride from Bay Shore to Dunewood, you are three blocks from the house. Bay Shore is a pleasant train ride from Penn Station on 34th Street and 7th Avenue in Manhattan. Trains are frequent and on time and scheduled to meet most ferries.
The house is fully equipped. New dishwasher, fridge with ice maker and a new stove are just part of the renovated bright kitchen. Linens, towels, dishes, utensils, pots and pans are all included. There is a washer/dryer inside the house. Each room has a ceiling fan. A wood stove in the Living Room will warm the house on chilly nights - few and far between. An outdoor gas grill is provided for grilling on the spacious deck. Deck furniture is stylish and comfortable. The outside shower is a real treat after a day on the beach - hot and cold water.
The dining area, adjacent to the open kitchen, has a picture window with a view of the Great South Bay. The dining table will comfortably seat twelve. The living room has a large sofa and love seat. A flat screen TV, with Satellite and NetFlix and CD/iPod is opposite the couch in the built in book case. There is DSL and WiFi.
