This is a special property. It is really a gem being right off the beach. We loved the privacy, but it is a treck to get in and out to visit other parts of fire island. A lot of chores were requested on check out even though we paid for a cleaning fee. It was a little stressful to get through them all with it being extremely rainy outside. The host was extremely accommodating and communicative though. Would come back!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is right on the beach and had everything we needed: beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cornhole, well-stocked kitchen and a fantastic deck. The host loaned their wagon to us which made all the difference in getting our luggage to the house and back to the ferry. Thank you!

This house was fantastic. It had everything we needed and more. The location is really something special.

All perfect but it is a haul getting there and getting food there (expensive). Probably why it is so perfect - We just lived it

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Nice location, great house. Michelle was very helpful. Just know that Robbin's Rest section is not connected to the paved pathway so there is some walk in the sand to get to the neighborhood. But you can find folks to ATV older people over. Great time had by all.

As noted in a number of reviews, the property is some distance from the ferry with the last 5-10' walking through some serious sand. The police station will give you a ride up to the sand but after that older adults or young children will have to walk. If you arrive late and there's no one at the police station, hang out as they will return shortly (we didn't get that memo!). Since the property does not have wagons at the ferry pier, you can "borrow" any that are unlocked and then return it later (this was good advice from someone at the dock). It would have been a bigger struggle without that tip and the very helpful neighbor who let us use their wagon (thank you kind sir). The journey done, this is a perfectly located property away from the bustle of Ocean Beach and literally right on the sand. Outstanding features include the outdoor grill (not clearly mentioned) and the outdoor shower. Bedrooms are as advertised with mattresses that are "ok", but not great in some rooms. The decks, seating and beach games are fantastic and made our visit really enjoyable (hours of corn hole). Be aware that we had to wash sheets and towels before we checked out, making catching our ferry tricky. The owner was flexible on this point but please plan accordingly. Great visit and beautiful peaceful beach time will be you reward if you brave the trek!

This our third visit to Fire Island and our first time staying at Michelle and Steve’s place in Robbins Rest. We had such an amazing time!! I almost don’t want others to know what a fabulous place this is just to be able to keep it a secret. 😊 Our children (8, 6, and almost 3) loved seeing all the wildlife—dolphins, whales, ospreys and deer. We were able to have friends come meet us for a few days of our week long stay, and everyone agreed that the view was just perfect. Thank you to Michelle and Steve for everything! We hope to come back and visit again soon!
