Beach houses on Fire Island

Fire Island is a beloved summer escape from the mayhem and hustle of New York City. Just 65 miles east of Manhattan via the Southern State Parkway lies a secluded, barrier island, Atlantic Coast haven, waiting to be discovered! Your senses will be dazzled by gorgeous white sand beaches, enticing ocean waves and pretty, safe, immaculate seaside towns with absolutely no cars! Park your car at the lighthouse upon arrival and get ready to get around the old fashioned way on foot or by rental bike!

Fire Island is a 32 mile long, 0.5 mile, pine needle thin, Atlantic ocean barrier island that lies parallel to Long Island. Only a couple of hours by ferry from Manhattan this chilled out, remote destination where your idyllic beach house accommodation is situated has everything you need for a superb stay. Unspoiled, pristine, wilderness, white sand beaches within walking distance provide a haven of peace that is as close to nature as you can get. There are bustling villages with charming restaurants and shops aplenty on this small, whimsical island where there is no traffic or traffic pollution! Many of the stunning wood build beach house rentals in this area have a private pool, a yard and a gorgeous outdoor deck with a view of the ocean

With so many miles of pristine, soft sand beaches to choose from with lovely conditions for swimming, surfing, windsurfing and stand up paddleboarding, you will be spoiled for choice for gloriously relaxing days out at the beach. There are long stretches of unforgettably beautiful shoreline for long walks by the sea in this surfing paradise with the Atlantic ocean on one side and the calmer waters of Great South Bay on the other.
