About this house rental
Wake up to the sounds of the ocean waves and enjoy your coffee overlooking the ocean. End the day with a gentle swim across your personal heated pool with a window onto the sea. Stunning Modpools pool and hot-tub nestled into an airy 1200 square feet of partial ocean-view decks soaring 15 feet above the sand. Outdoor wet bar including beverage fridge and ice maker will entice you and the family to relax as the sun sets and the little ones play in the kid-friendly 5-foot depth swimming pool that has 3 panoramic underwater windows looking out at the ocean. Automatic retractable cover provides a safe environment and keeps the water always crystal clear. Outdoor Sonos system will let you enjoy mellow tunes on the deck and in the double-sized, two-headed, open-roof outdoor shower.
Inside, the top floor boasts the "Grand Master" bedroom with walls of glass boasting gorgeous partial ocean views from your queen size canopy bed, dedicated Sonos speaker system, in-wall a/c and Haiku smart fan. Hiding behind a sliding reclaimed wood panel is an ensuite bathroom with Japanese freestanding soaking tub that awaits you after a long day at the beach. The "Grand Master" ensuite bathroom has a full-size double sink for his and her use.
Your family will be able to relax in the generous living space that includes a 65" 4K smart TV and Sonos sound bar or have appetizers outside on the top deck at the 12 person dining table. The living room is airy and open, with a high, dramatically slanted ceiling with exposed joists, architectural cable-rail staircase and three large sliding glass doors leading to a sunny deck on the top floor. Oversized umbrellas on the deck will keep you shaded when the sun gets hot during the day. Right off the living room, the dining area also has an extendable table for 12.
The custom built stainless steel chef's kitchen comes with white quartz countertops and a 64" massive refrigerator and freezer that will allow you to stock up for your stay. Choose to make your meals inside with a professional induction range or outside on the 7 burner Weber grill in our 400sf top deck overlooking the ocean. Ample cooking and baking supplies with utensils are included for your use to make your stay even more home-like. Enjoy hands-free cooking help and music control with the Amazon Echo Show conveniently located on the counter.
When it's time to retire, everyone will be comfortable (sleeps 12). The "Sea Glass Master" bedroom (downstairs) has an in-wall a/c, Haiku smart fan and also has an en-suite bathroom with frameless glass rain shower combined with European hand shower wand above a genuine Fire Island hand-collected, tumbled rock floor.
Additional welcoming 3 bedrooms will let your extended family enjoy the magic of Fire Island within their own space (including 1 queen "Surf Room", 2 twins "Deer Room" and a "Bunk Room" with 4 twins - kids toys & games included). Each room has a Haiku Smart ceiling fan, in-wall a/c, their own individual Sonos speaker system and 4 in-wall USB charging ports for electronics. Masters also have additional dedicated charging stations/alarm clocks on the nightstands. The entire home has Mesh WiFi with 500/500 Fios internet for blazing fast speeds.
No need to fight for the one of the two outdoor showers, as the additional downstairs bathroom with a tub and shower make a great place to rinse the kids off too. A full size LG Washer & Dryer system right off the entry hall will keep your clothes fresh for the summer days ahead.
Getting around is easy as our home is fully equipped with 10 custom adult beach cruisers (one fat tire bike), 4 children bicycles and an additional 2 child carrier that attaches to a beach cruiser. 12 Tommy Bahama backpack/cooler beach chairs, 12 dedicated quick-dry, sand-free beach towels, 2 beach umbrellas and 2 Shibumi shades will keep you fully stocked on the sand. Fire Island has no cars in the summer, so the kids can walk and bike safely.

Guests praised the proximity to the ocean, well-equipped kitchen, excellent amenities, beautiful house, and efficient communication with the owners.
10.0
The location was ideal - so close to the ocean, with a small view of the waves from the pool and deck. Having the bikes was amazing. We all loved the kitchen and excellent amenities provided. The house was beautiful. We even loved playing Cornhole in the front yard. It was the vacation of a lifetime!

Beautiful home in a great location with a wonderful view. Thoughtfully designed, furnished and stocked with everything you'll need. Also, great communication from the owners! Spent the weekend with teens and can't wait to return for a more relaxing adult trip!

House was very clean and had all the amenities you might need! Super close to the beach and about a 20 min walk to the center of Ocean Beach.
10.0
Great trip! Perfect house for my wife, 2 young kids and myself. Couldn’t keep the kids at of the pool the whole week. The online Owner’s manual provided for the house made everything very simple. Owner’s also kept in touch if there was anything we needed. Will definitely be returning for another trip next year.

Windows on the Sea is phenomenal! The hosts thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, fun and convenient. They were so welcoming, generous and truly cared about our experience. I can’t say enough about the property. It was sparkling clean, well stocked and the beautiful deck and pool were icing on the cake. We would definitely stay at Windows on the Sea again (and again).
10.0
My family and I had the best stay we could have imagined. Whitney and Anthony have thought of everything to make the stay the most comfortable and enjoyable experience for a vacation. The house is amazing with views of the ocean, an amazing pool that converts into a hot tub, every appliance you could need in the summer including an ice cream maker!, cozy beds and everything linked to a smart home system. They were available and open to communicate throughout the stay. So much so that I feel like we actually became friends! We honestly couldn't have asked for better hosts or a better house aka home because that is how they made it feel! This is the house for you if you are looking for a family retreat. Thank you Whitney and Anthony for sharing your home!

Caroline and crew!

Fantastic stay from beginning to end. Hosts were super responsive, promptly answering our inquiries. Really went out of their way to make our stay perfect. The house did not disappoint, beautifully appointed and had everything (and more) than we needed for our three night stay. Easy beach access. Great outdoor area. The pool was the icing on the cake. Recommend highly.
10.0
This is a wonderful property steps from the beach. Anthony was amazing at communicating and accommodating all of our needs. The house is very nicely decorated, and has everything you need to spend a wonderful vacation. The kids enjoyed the pool and toys in spite of the very rainy and cloudy weather. Having the bikes was a huge plus. All around a wonderful place to stay. We booked it late so it was a little bit on the expensive side, but would love to go back with sunnier weather.
10.0
The house has plenty of space for a group of friends to spend the weekend together. The hosts were readily available to answer any questions and were extremely accommodating. Before even getting here, there was plenty of information provided to us about the house and all the amenities that were provided. Anthony & Whitney are next level hosts with the nicest house on Fire Island. Would refer to others to stay here and will hopefully be back again in the future.
10.0
Anthony and Whitney have a beautiful home that is well equipped with everything you could need for a nice, relaxing getaway. The heated pool/hottub is definitely an added plus. The house is in a great location near the beach. We were surprised that the house is equipped with new bikes! My friends/family loved biking around and seeing Fire Island. We would definitely stay there again!
10.0
This house is very nicely and comfortably appointed in high quality throughout - including all furnishings and supplies. The beds are really comfortable! The house is very well situated for a great beach vacation. We could hear the soothing sound of waves even inside the house (or not, if we turned on the AC/fan), there's an ocean view as well as partial sunrise and sunset views - we felt immersed in nature. The hosts are readily available, friendly and very helpful with any question. It's definitely a repeat vacation location.
10.0
We loved the property so much last year we were delighted to be able to return this summer. Highlights are the large modern kitchen, the beauty and comforts of the living space and the crystal clear heated pool and hot tub. Our daughter learned to swim in the pool and we appreciated the safety of the motorized locking cover. The owners are generous and fabulously organized.
10.0
We were two families there for a week and everyone (including three teenagers) enjoyed the stay. The house was beautiful and in a great location! Short and pretty bike ride to shops and restaurants. It was a wonderful, relaxing get away. Anthony and Whitney were terrific hosts! Definitely recommend this house and location!
10.0
I recently stayed at Windows on the Sea with a group of girlfriends all 35+ and we had the best time!!!!! The house is perfect, clean, and spacious! It has everything you could ever think of needing.. it was almost like being right at home!!! We were able to cook a dinner for 12 ladies one night and had every appliance- it was GREAT! The pool is a great feature that we enjoyed most days especially at night when it got a little chilly and could relax in the hot tub portion! We had minimal issues ( most with the sound system) but Whitney and Anthony were always available and willing to help at all times- which was really awesome! I would highly recommend to all ages and groups! Couldnt have asked for a better stay and cant wait to go back!! Dont think twice about booking this house- you will fall in love!

We had a great stay with our family. The proximity to the beach and the pool were outstanding. The bikes were excellent and allowed us to get around the island with ease. The hosts made sure everything was addressed. Would absolutely stay again.
10.0
Our stay at Windows was amazing! The house was set up beautifully and situated close to the beach and the restaurants and markets. The house was extremely comfortable for our family- ages 4-73! The ferry ride over was easy and fun for everyone and getting to the house was a short walk and very easy with the big wagon left at the port for us.
We would love to come back soon- thank you for a special, lovely stay.
10.0
We had an amazing stay at this house. The deck and pool was the highlight for the kids and entertained them for hours every day. The waves were rough at the beach and was too dangerous for littles to play in during our trip, so we spent a lot of time at the pool and biking around. There were plenty of bikes, pool and beach toys that make the trip stress free w/ kids. I always find getting to the house with all your luggage and kids in tow is the hardest part of the trip- thankfully thoughtful owners left a wagon locked at the dock.
10.0
We don't have enough good things to say about the hosts and their home! The hosts are meticulously detailed and have really thought of everything to help you have the most relaxing and enjoyable stay. Their home is beautifully decorated, incredibly clean, and is equipped with everything you need! Plus it's so close to the beach! We only hope we can get back there again to enjoy their wonderful home!
10.0
The pool was such a huge benefit with the kids! They spent most of the trip in it and the safety cover is such a great feature to have peace of mind when they were not swimming. The managers were easy to reach and everything was just as nice as pictured and described with several additional benefits!
10.0
Whitney & Anthony are the best hosts we have ever experienced. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness not only enhance your visit, but truly make feel like you're at Home. Their home is everything as advertised and more. Treat yourself, your family, and your friends to a stay at Windows on the Sea. You will not be disappointed.
10.0
This is a beautiful home just steps from the beach. The pool/hot tub is magnificent and the owners make everything very easy. Their website answers questions before you even knew you had them. The hosts are very responsive. We had a minor bike issue and it was resolved within minutes. Highly recommend this beautiful property.
10.0
The house is great. Love the house itself more than the island. The pool on deck with ocean view is fantastic. Clean and have everything we want.
We arrived late and it is very hard to find food on the island because the stores and restaurants were closed so early and the deliveries cannot drive to this island. It will be great if remind the guest bring some food.
10.0
"Windows on the sea 'is one of the best VRBO, we have stayed. Our family enjoyed the one of a kind of experience. The rooftop pool with an ocean view was spectacular. We all felt we were in a luxury spa resort. Anthony and Whitney communicated with us throughout the booking and stay. We are already planning to go back next year

A wonderful, magical fall getaway for our family. The house, the pool and the location can't be beat. Our kids won't stop talking about it. Anthony was an extremely attentive host and accommodated a last minute change to our guest list with ease. Highly recommend

What a lovely weekend! Anthony could not have made every detail easier. He sent a super user-friendly and detailed guide a few weeks before we arrived, which answered every question we had. We were a little nervous traveling to Fire Island because it seemed complicated, especially just for a weekend trip. With Anthony’s guidance, every step was clear and easy. We arrived to a bottle of champagne, a sparkling clean house, and a beautiful ocean view. He also called us directly after our arrival to check in. The house is incredibly well-appointed and well-designed; it had everything we could have wanted (and more). We used the house bikes, the pool and hot tub, walked along the beautiful beach, and enjoyed the beauty and stillness of Fire Island in late October. Truly lovely. We can’t wait to come back!
5.0
Property was just as described. We lived in the hot tub all weekend! It even had a special app that changed the colored lights - so fun! Owners communicated with us via text every step of the way. Thank you for this memory :)

If you are looking for the perfect place to stay.. look no further. Anthony and Whitney are the most wonderful hosts, and have really thought of everything to make your stay top notch. We had originally planned to stay in June, but when COVID hit, we had to change our plans. They were so responsive and easy to work with which is not always the case and is a testament to the kind people they are. They even sent us an extremely kind delivery to help us celebrate our long awaited trip. Now, the house. The views are simply out of this world. Sipping coffee on the deck watching the waves roll in, it seems life can’t get any better. Then, you realize it can because you not only have a pool, but one that converts into a hot tub! The house is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed. The property very comfortably fits 12, and every room has its own unique charm and tasteful decor. The deck is perfect for hanging out, eating a meal, and enjoying the views. Everything you need for a great stay has been thought of. Not to mention, you are steps from the beach. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property and the hosts. Thank you Whitney and Anthony for a trip we will never forget.

Lovely home with beautiful ocean views. Modern technology in a very tranquil environment. Charming town with no cars.
