My family, including children, found this a perfect Fire Island house in almost every way. It was clean, comfortable, updated, and perfectly situated between bay, playground and beach. The "guest house" is a real plus, as is the large deck. And it couldn't be more child-friendly, with bikes for every age and toys and books for the little ones. The owners are delightful and reasonable, eager to help in any way. I highly recommend this house!

Home away from home

This was the second year in a row that our family along with our friends have rented this home. It is simply a home away from home. This was especially important for both of our families since we have 4 small children in tow. The house is equipped with everything you will need. Do not bring a toy, movie, or beach items with you. Whether you are here to chill out with just adults, or have children from 3 months to 10 years old, there is something for everyone. The house is clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. It's been comforting to rent the same place twice and we hope to do it again next year. Don't look any further.

This is a great house for a family. It is stocked with everything you need for the beach. Tons of towels, chairs, boogie boards and beach toys. The layout of the house is nice. We spent a lot of time on the deck and in the screened in porch. The big table on the deck is perfect for family meals and hanging out. The kitchen has all you need to cook. Great place.

I have only positive things to say. The house is clean, quiet, and well-maintained. Toys, high chair and crib for your kids, plus a large patio with a huge inflatable kiddie pool and all sorts of scooters and bikes. The house is located just a few blocks away from everything you'll need - beach, playground and grocery store, plus Ocean Beach, which is full of restaurants and ice cream shops, is a 5-10 minute walk away. We've rented many different houses and this is one of the few that manages to get it right: The house is comfortable and well-stocked without being cluttered. You can cook without worrying about finding what you need, but there is plenty of space for your personal belongings so you can make yourself at home. Plus, the owners are a pleasure to work with - very communicative and helpful. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

This was our second summer in this terrific house - very clean and well maintained. The space was perfect for us - lots of room for the kids to play and plenty of outdoor space on the patio to hang out and relax. The house is conveniently located near the ferry, the beach, the playground as well as the shops and restuarants in Ocean Beach. The owners were a pleasure to work with and this a perfect place for a family with young kids!

Perfect Beach Getaway

This was our first time renting on FI. Turns out this house and Seaview are in a perfect location with many beautiful homes; close enough to area activities but more private than the neighboring FI communities.
The house was great and very well maintained. We had a spectacular time with a lot of room to spread out. The AC in the bedrooms made for comfortable nights and the large private deck became the center of family and friends activities.
We spent many hours at the beach which was a short walk away and only lightly attended. The water was so clean ... LI has really beautiful beaches.
The local food was great with only a short walk to Ocean Beach and Ocean Bay Park. Flynn's was really good. Make reservations days ahead if you want a popular time.
This vacation was spent with our teenagers and they had a great time at the popular Ocean Beach "town". The house was perfect for fun with family and friends and we highly recommend staying here. The house was set up with just about everything you could need. (BBQ, beach chairs, towels, complete kitchen, coolers, etc.)
We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to relaxing next summer on Fire Island !!

This house met and exceeded our expectations. It is an immaculate and very comfortable home that clearly shows in the details there is much love and care in every part of it. Everything you need for a peaceful stay at the beach is provided. The location is perfectly situated so for easy access to the other towns/communities on Fire Island.
We had a great time and look forward to staying there again!

This Seaview Beach House was absolutely perfect for my our time in Fire Island. The house was extremely clean and aesthetically pleasing. The house was also fully equipped with everything that a furnished home would normally hold. There were air conditioners in each bedroom which made our sleeping experience that much more comfortable. You are a few feet from the bay and walking distance to the ocean. We enjoyed walking/biking to Ocean Beach and Ocean Bay Park, which also are just a few blocks away, to dine in the evening and enjoy some of the nightlife. This house is excellent for families and also for friends. It's very private and very cozy. Lastly, the home owners were also extremely friendly and very accommodating.

I am a regular renter in fire island. My family always rents with other families who have children of similar ages, and this house was perfect for that. Seaview is my first choice of communities in Fire Island for all that it offers. The house inside was very clean and beautifully decorated. The separate guest house was great for teenagers who wanted their own space. The large outdoor table was great for big family dinners along with some visiting guests. The house comes with two bikes - one of them a three-wheeler with a basket - perfect for picking up groceries at the market. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were all new and immaculate. If you like to cook for a big crowd, you might need to bring a large pot or two to supplement what the kitchen is stocked with, and the refrigerator is a little tight on space, so plan on using your coolers for drinks. I would definitely recommend this house!
