This Fair Harbor cottage is on a great block with dune grass all around. The central rooms and screened porch are charming, vintage Fire Island, boho-surf style. The tiny kitchen is not easy to work in, and very disorganized, so you’ve got to put ideas of cooking like you’re used to aside and get into beach shack mode. This place calls for you to relax your expectations. It’s not very well maintained, there are traces of past renters everywhere, including trash, and debris so we did quite a bit of rearranging and tidying when we arrived. It’s great to have a separate room out back. The outdoor area is run down and swampy but you can have a good time hanging out in the house and at the beach, letting your cares slip away.

Ideal location in Fair Harbor! Beautiful beaches, sunsets and slower pace the minute you get off the ferry. House has all the essentials including fabulous outside shower along with plenty of rainy day games and reading activities. We had a great stay! Michael was a great host, providing helpful info ahead of trip and accessible during our stay as well. Check-in/out could not have been easier

This house is not as pictured. Surfaces were littered with the owner's deodorant and cigarettes, a tattered blanket, and filthy throw pillows; the silverware, glasses, and pots and pans were caked with food; there was sand in the sheets; dirty towels and washcloths still hung in the shower and on the backs of doors. We lifted the grill cover and found a rotting raw hamburger. He sent a cleaner, who left the job after putting in a couple loads of wash. We came back from dinner to find the sheets still wet in the washer and had to make up the beds ourselves.
This house needs a deep cleaning, inside and out. The kitchen sink empties right into the yard and coffee cups and orange rinds float in the muddy water that surrounds the house. I could go on. This was our first disappointing VRBO rental.

Michael is an excellent host. The house is as advertised - 3 bedrooms, one of which is disconnected from the main house. We very much enjoyed the enclosed patio and the outdoor grill. Michael keeps the house well stocked with towels and pretty much everything else that you need. The only reason for the 4 star rating is that this is an older house, so it is a bit run down, particularly the kitchen. Bug spray is also a must as bugs do get in the house.

Our second stay in Michael’s Fire Island house was as good as our first. We loved reading on the porch, sipping cocktails on the deck and (of course) the easy walk up to the beach. I don’t want a beach house with a millions bells and whistles — just a place to shower off the sand when I’m done swimming and a decent bed for sleeping. One piece of advice: Pack your bug spray.

The house is very typical of fire island. Beautiful screened in porch which was probably my favorite part of the house. Cute beachy decor. Host was very communicative and helpful. Bedrooms had air conditioning. Full kitchen and a gas outdoor grill. Fair harbor was a lovely town to stay in.

The property worked well for us. Cleanliness was leaving, particularly in the kitchen, yet we were able to clean as we went.

Funky beach cottage with separate main suite, ideally located in Fair Harbor. Steps from both the beach and the bay. Great outdoor shower and all bedrooms kept cool with window AC units. Small outdated kitchen, but adequate for basic needs. Comfortable sitting area with a nice screened in front porch.

Just what we needed
This is the perfect no frills house where you can relax and enjoy what really makes Fire Island great. Mike and Tessa are great hosts and the secluded back room is nice for mom and dad. Being close to Fair Harbor increases the freedom for the kids. Hope to return.

Lots of beach equipment and amazing island
The property was clean and had lots of toys and equipment for the beach. Kitchen had a good selection of tools.
I loved the island and using the provided bikes. I would have liked to know beforehand that the island doesn't allow vehicles, but once I was on the island it was a great environment.
