Checking it was an easy process. It’s a cute little cottage very family friendly. Peter was a great host. With it being my birthday vacation, I had many unexpected visitors, and he was very open to us enjoying ourselves and having a good time. Everything we needed was there, was just perfect for what we needed.

This house was so perfect for our little group! Peter was the best host, took time to answer all of my questions. The house is in the perfect spot too! My best takeaway (aside from the location) were the amount of towels and the hot water! Would definitely stay here again! And 100% recommend this place

comfortable and relaxing and FUN

The location doesn’t get more convenient to the small town and ferry (really I don’t think there’s a closer house). 7 minute walk to the beach. The owner was very accommodating and communicative. The place is small and has everything you need but is very basic, and is meant as a pure beach bungalow - no frills, and won’t be the cleanest place you’ve stayed. But the important parts were great (clean sheets). As someone else mentioned, the outside shower is where it’s at!

We loved staying at this property in Ocean Beach. So close to town and easily accessible. Bay is around the corner and the Ocean just a short walk from the house. Youth center conveniently located five seconds away so great location for families and others alike! Peter was very nice and helpful. Laundry available and a large deck. Great stay!

Great place to stay… cute little beach house in a fabulous location. We enjoyed our stay here very much.

The only positive thing about this property is the location. Located right outside the town and was easy access to the ferry, shops, and restaurants. This property needs fixing and a lot of updating. When you walk up to the location the fencing is broken and the property looks dated. When you walk into the front door you are greeted by the smell of smoke. The owner lives on property and is always in the vicinity (usually with guests on the shared back deck, which made us feel very uncomfortable). The rugs are worn and appliances are old. The outdoor shower is a better option then the indoor shower. I was told that the property was cleaned by "staff" in between the stays which is not the case. The property owner relies on the house guests to clean the property upon leaving. I had to thoroughly clean when I arrived due to crumbs on the table, dirty toilet seat and bathroom, old food and condiments in the fridge/freezer with filthy shelves. When I located the vaccuum to use it looked like it was never cleaned out. There were also ants in the kitchen and bathroom. The property owner came in to inspect after I wrote a message complaining about the condition, but easily looked to point blame on us and was not even apologetic. He claimed to look through the house before I rented. Which he may have, but then must have very minimal standards. He attempted to divert attention from the problem by pointing out that I had my daughter and her friends as guests and labeled it as a "house party." Which it definitely was not. This was definitely not a professionally cleaned house, nor was the property owner professional in his dealing with complaints (he was heard cursing). This house will never be recommended to others.

I stayed here for 3 nights with my husband and 3 year old. Overall: we would stay here again. Pros: - you can't beat the location, with a grocery store literally right next door and Maguires on the other side. One minute walk from ferry. -Nice, large outdoor area with grill/ cooler -house had everything you need (mini shampoo/ soap etc. In bathroom, towels, bedding, kitchen stuff, even beach toys) -very easy check in/out Cons: - The place is not the cleanest. We had to wear our socks inside and they were black by the end of the day. - Landlord stays on the property as well (as mentioned in the ad) and smokes, so be careful if you have asthma etc.

Is a true beach house, the layout that is on website is exactly the way house is laid out! It could use a little updating. The owner is a nice, friendly person, he is on site and very helpful ! The location is great, it’s a short walk to beach 15mins, the house is located in town! You are by stores, restaurants, bay and the playground !

Completely enjoyable stay.

Cute place to stay.Lañdkord lives on premise. Plenty of room. Close to all.

Great location. Great owner. Perfect family trip!!!

The first thing when I arrived I was told there is no wagon to bring my belongings from the ferry. Wagons on Fire Island are standard, especially because there are no cars and most people bring food with them for any extended stay. The first thing I noticed when I arrived was the outrageous stench of mold in the house. Even with the doors and windows open it did not dissipate. It was clearly emanating from an AC unit in one of the bedrooms which had never been cleaned. We could not use that AC and could not stay in that room. The dresser drawers all had sand in them. The back deck was not private. The owner frequently sat on it smoking and listening to music. I have two young kids and had to ask him to stop. The BBQ had never been cleaned and caught fire when I used it. The lock on the door to the back deck was virtually inoperable. There are no beach chairs or umbrellas provided. VRBO - I want a refund.

Was perfect for a long summer weekend! We loved that it was so close to town, restaurants, pantry! The landlord was very nice and answered any questions we had!

Completely enjoyable stay.

A perfect location for a weekend get away!

The house was nice and the location is amazing. You are seconds from all the shops, restaurants and bars. The back deck is a great area to hangout and BBQ. The kitchen is a little bit of a tight squeeze inside but not a problem. Everything in the house works fine and was very easy to use. Overall we had a great time

I cooked myself during the stay. So, I appreciate the full kitchen supply. A grocery store is next door, and the beach is 5-6 min away. The location is great.

This was our second time vacationing at this house and love it! The homeowners are quick to answer any question and are very easy going. It's a typical beach house with a great location and private deck in back yard. Three rooms have different sleepin accommodations which helps in the planning of where everyone will sleep. Clean house with every thing you need in preparing a great BBQ or meal (just bring your food). Never used the inside shower since they have a great outdoor shower. Would definitely stay there again!!

This is probably the best located house in Ocean Beach. If you want to enjoy the downtown and nightlife you could not get any closer. Peter was great to work with and the property was clean and comfortable. Would love to come back again. -Tucker Johnson

We had a great stay with a large group. Some things in the house were a bit dated, but otherwise the location was perfect (right next to town) and the home was very comfortable. Worth noting that the host lives on the premises as well, in an apartment attached to the property.

This little beach house had a great location for dining and shopping. Just a short, enchanting walk to the beach. It was great for 4 of us. Ocean Beach is alittle much for me, personally. Perhaps we will return on off season for a little more peace and quiet. Thanx for everything. Pleasure to meet you, Mr.Tartaglia!

The location was perfect! Beach and shops are close. The kitchen has everything basically. We cooked everyday and didn't have any problems.

We really enjoyed staying at this property, perfect for a long weekend with friends. Location is perefect right in the middle of town and a few minutes away from the beach. House was clean and comfy for our group. Would love to stay at this property again. Note that the house has no wagon so if you are toting things over plan ahead!
