Fantastic house, can not beat the location. Kitchen was way more stocked than we thought. Also games and puzzles are provided. Comfy and clean furniture, beds very comfortable, plenty of fans provided. Contacts were very attentive to anything we needed (blankets, propane replenishment). Don’t miss happy hour at the Casino, Watch Hill nature walk, Linda at the Davis Park post office… Enjoy!

Great getaway if you are a Fire Island fan. Easy access to Water Limo to travel to other Fire Island Town, although a little pricey. A mile walk to next town which has a restaurant, bar and store with a coffee shop. Please is clean and they provide plenty of fans to keep cool on those warm summer days. No air conditioning, TV or WiFi are available.

Beautiful area to enjoy the ocean and nature trails. Enjoyed time with family and friends. The waves were great and the deck sunsets were beautiful. The house was rustic, but clean and orderly. It was stocked with salt/pepper and all the essentials. Thank you!

This is the one in a kind opportunity to stay in a national Park service cabin, which is well appointed and very private, and not too far away from conveniences like the ferry, beach access and shopping in Cherry Grove. Best access is from the ferry from Sayville to sailors Haven. Best to bring a garden cart which you can use to carry food, bags, beach gear etc. The house is comprised of a large living and dining area with a fully functional kitchen, separate bedroom and a bathroom with shower stall. The back porch is generously furnished with a Weber propane, fueled grill with the propane tanks provided by the NPS, a table with four chairs and a separate outdoor hot and cold water shower with an enclosure that affords privacy and still allows you to take off your shoes outside and avoid bringing sand into the cabin. The best feature of this location is peace and quiet. There is no road traffic, only the sound of the birds and the waves. The cabin is about a 10 minute walk from the ferry terminal at sailors Haven and is about another 20 minute walk from the cabin to the edge of the boardwalk section of Cherry Grove. In the middle of Cherry Grove, there is a grocery market where, though the prices are higher than mainland supermarkets, you can get fresh produce and virtually everything else you need for the kitchen. Though with the capacity to sleep four people (2 in the BR and 2 on the sofa bed in the LR) the cabin is better suited to two people. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glasses and cooking tools including an excellent corkscrew. There are generous amounts of paper towels, toilet paper, alu foil, even olive oil and vinegar. Extras include a fully functioning microwave, coffee maker, blender and multi speed ceiling fans. Though mainland NY and even LI were experiencing a heat wave during our stay, we never felt uncomfortable given much lower air temps on the barrier island. All in all a wonderful place to stay - recommended highly!
