Great location in Fair Harbor. Within walking distance of ferry, restaurants, coffee and grocery store. Very nice outdoor area. Plenty of room so everyone can have their own space!! Some of the decor and kitchen stuff (like throw pillows, bedding, wine glasses, pans etc.) could use a refresh but that is my only suggestion!!

Location was very close to ferry and to the beach. There were accommodations like usage of bikes and others when the weather was still bit cool for the beach. Host was nice to offer meeting at the ferry with a wagon to help with belongs and such. Would book it again.

This Fair Harbor cottage is on a great block with dune grass all around. The central rooms and screened porch are charming, vintage Fire Island, boho-surf style. The tiny kitchen is not easy to work in, and very disorganized, so you’ve got to put ideas of cooking like you’re used to aside and get into beach shack mode. This place calls for you to relax your expectations. It’s not very well maintained, there are traces of past renters everywhere, including trash, and debris so we did quite a bit of rearranging and tidying when we arrived. It’s great to have a separate room out back. The outdoor area is run down and swampy but you can have a good time hanging out in the house and at the beach, letting your cares slip away.

Host was communicative, check in was easy. He left a handy beach cart for us to use. The area and neighborhood was lovely, everything you could want or need was nearby. Unfortunately, the property was spartan and rustic and run down. It was very dirty and it is doubtful that any area of the household has been cleaned for some time. There was not only sand and dust on the surfaces and on the floor, I also found a cigarette butt on the floor (we had alerted the host before hand that there would be young children in our party). There was sand in the bed and the sheets were musty. There were used towels in the bathroom, used soap bars, etc, old toothbrushes scattered about, etc. There were shorts left in the outdoor shower and a damp wetsuit in the in-law suite. There was apparently a washer and dryer on the premises but perhaps it was around the back, and made inaccessible due to a flooded yard. Also fairly sure there were cockroaches in the kitchen. We were there only for a short time and wanted to enjoy ourselves so didn't want to make a fuss, but will not be returning.
