Harbor View House, Fair Harbor

Don't inquire if you're not a family! This homey, quirky family share will give you and your kids an affordable Fair Harbor stay with like-minded families. Or you can rent the whole house for your own family or a couple of families together. If you've visited Fair Harbor, you know the big yellow house next to the post office. And if you have been to Fair Harbor with kids, you know that they dream of being right in town! Our kids love being right in town -- they love the freedom of running in a pack to get ice cream or pizza or candy, or to look for hermit crabs at the bay. You can rent the whole house for your family or group of families. Or if you are on a budget, take just one or two rooms and share -- there are always other kids around with this share, so there is always a way to feel independent while vacationing as a family. If you are looking for a fancy house and lots of privacy and a queen-sized bed all to yourself, this is not the place for you! Each family at The Big Yellow House usually rents just one room, sharing either the three twin beds in the Blue room or two twin beds in the 3 other bedrooms. All of the beds have tempurpedic mattesses, so they are extremely comfy! It's simple and it's not the roomiest place you'll ever stay, but it's in Fair Harbor at an unbeatable price! Your private bedroom will have sheets and towels. (You can bring an air mattress if you want more sleeping surface!) You'll have full access to the kitchen, with space in the fridge and cabinets set aside just for your stuff, a big living room, a dining room, two shared bathrooms, outdoor shower and huge deck. Most families who stay here end up eating semi-together, taking turns at the stove and sometimes even sharing dishes. More often than not, the kids band together to paint seashells, and everyone wanders over to the dock for sunset, grown-ups with grown-up drinks in hand. Sometimes families go to the beach together, and sometimes everyone does his/her own thing. And don't forget Wednesday night movies at the firehouse! Rainy days are still fun -- those mean Sea Girt library or stay at home to use the years-collected movies, puzzles and games. If you rent this whole house, you won't need to interact with anyone but the person from whom you borrow kids' sunblock at the beach! If you want to just rent one room, see our other listings. In that case, guests interact with each other a lot. You are taking just one bedroom in a four-bedroom house, unless you decide to rent more than one. But on the other hand, you can completely do your own thing and no one will mind!
