Davis Park Beach Cottage- Fire Island, NY

Mid-century beach cottage located in the family-friendly community of Davis Park, Fire Island, New York. The house accommodates six and is nestled in the trees just steps from the Atlantic Ocean and Great South Bay. A stay here offers the quintessential beach vacation experience. Our home has been preserved in its near original condition for 3 generations. It has an elegant simplicity. The house does not have internet, a dishwasher, or washer/dryer. Because part of the real Fire Island experience involves shedding our day-to- day habits, we appreciate and enjoy the connection with a simpler time that this beach house gives us. Entire house, the Atlantic Ocean, Great South Bay, Davis Park Marina, and an endless beach as far as your legs can take you! The location is in a quiet, family-friendly area of Davis Park. We have known our neighbors for many years. Because respect for the neighborhood is important to us, this is not the type of house or location that accommodates a loud "party house" atmosphere. In addition, we are located on the west side of Davis Park where there is relatively more tree cover and shade than the other parts of the community. The house is accessible only by ferry boat from the Davis Park Ferry in Patchogue, NY . See (Website hidden by Airbnb) The ferry station can be accessed by car, or the Long Island Railroad. There is a daily fee to park your car in the parking lot. Once on the island, travel by foot via boardwalk or beach. Wagons are available to transport luggage/groceries/etc. Without a washer/dryer in the house, guests bring their own linens/bed sheets, towels etc. We do have pillows, comforters, and blankets for use. Most guests also bring the bulk of their food. There is a small harbor market for food/staples however, it is understandably more expensive than a mainland grocery. Some shop on their way to the island and transport provisions with them. There is also an option to order online and have your food delivered to the Davis Park Ferry. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, oven, toaster, microwave, blender and coffee maker for your use. There is a Weber Grill with chimney lighter (no started fluid needed). Guests bring or order their own charcoal (also available at the Davis Park Harbor Store). Of course, if you have any questions about specifics, please feel free to send a message.
