This is a very comfortable house in excellent condition with large decks with great ocean views.
Ocean Bay Park is a small pleasant community. Not to be missed is Schooners a fun bar/restaurant with good food.
The host is very accommodating and easy to deal with.
It doesn’t get any better than this.

Great house and location. Good for all age groups. Fully stocked with bikes, beach chairs, etc. Great host. The back deck looks right out over the ocean. It’s perfection!
Great location! Huge deck and being right on the beach made it hard to be indoors at all. House was clean had everything we needed. Outdoor shower was nice and new with ocean views.
Just a great overall experience. The house was wonderful and you can’t beat the view. Dru was fast at responding and could not have been kinder. We are already discussing our week(s) for next summer

The Perfect Beach House!
We had such a great week in this house. The deck alone is amazing with it's wonderful views. Dru was so kind and easy to work with. The house was stocked with bikes, beach towels and clean linens - as the title states The Perfect Beach House!
Overall we were very satisfied. The house was lovely and the kitchen well stocked. The view of course was fantastic. I am a fan of outdoor showers and this one was great. It is close enough to Ocean Beach to visit but far enough away that it is much quieter.
This stay just confirmed my love of Fire Island.

Lovely beach house with a great view and beach access! The house was everything that was promised, and Dru was very available and quite helpful with any questions. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a Fire Island place.
Rented this property for an offsite location with my management team. We spent the days working around the table, surrounded by beautiful views (including whales playing just offshore), and evenings on the deck and going into town. It was perfect, and the whole experience was well communicated and organized.
Had a lovely four days on the island. House 5 minutes from ferry, well stocked with anything we might need to include bikes for everyone. Dru, our host, was lovely and provided a wealth of information. She was immediately available when we had questions. In summary, a charming home with spectacular views.
Stop scrolling and look no further! This beach house is pristine inside and out and has everything that you could want in a Fire Island getaway. I have been renting on Fire Island for years and this is the house we will plan on returning to from this point forward. Everything was as advertised. You feel like you never leave the beach. You can enjoy everything from your morning coffee to afternoon drinks from the spacious deck that overlooks the ocean. The ground floor room has 12 bikes to take in the sights and sounds of the neighboring towns and plenty of beach toys for the kids! Can't wait to come back....5 stars...highly recommend!!!

Beautiful home, relaxing vacation
We came here to celebrate our son and son-in-law's 30th birthdays with family and friends. What a wonderful, relaxing trip. This house is beautiful and easily accommodated our party of 12. The view from every room is amazing. The kitchen is fully equipped and
The house has plenty of towels and sheets. Dru is so nice and even though she was out of the country she made sure a small problem with the air conditioning was fixed immediately. This was our first time on Fire Island and we had no idea what to expect or how to even get here. Dru was very informative from the start and made our journey a pleasure from start to finish. There is so much to do and explore on Fire Island. It is a wonderful, friendly and safe place to vacation.

Absolutely Perfect!!
I booked this house for my husband's 35th birthday for us to celebrate with our children and our in laws and their kids. First, the house is beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice. It is clean and literally has everything you will need (like seriously everything!). The deck is just wonderful and is the best place to just sit and relax. I honestly cannot think of a negative thing to say. From arrival to departure, Dru was amazing. This house has everything you need (bikes, beach chairs, towels, beach toys, sound system...I can do on and on). We are figuring out when we can book again for next year!
Pros: direct ocean front with fantastic views and wrap around deck for sunset views. Large kitchen and dining room, large outdoor shower.
Cons: apparently this season had a problem with roaches on the island. Owner had exterminator over as soon as I mentioned we were having an issue. Unfortunately the issue was inside and out. The owner did give us a 3 1/2% refund for our trouble.
Even with that issue, we did agree to rent for next season.
Dru, the owner, was the perfect host. She was great about answering emails and providing me with helpful information. The house was roomy and the view was magnificent. We enjoyed the large, oversized deck morning, noon, and night. There were a ton of bikes and our entire family was able to explore Fire Island together, giving all of us a lifetime of wonderful memories. Highly recommend!
Amazing views of the ocean. It was cloudy all weekend for our beach getaway and we still loved it! Dru was easy to communicate with and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this location!!! The only downside is that I don’t want to stay anywhere else on fire island ever again because it won’t compare to this house lol
We have utilized the lovely space of Sunrise Sunset for the past two years for our executive team's annual strategy planning. The space is warm and inviting with plenty of beds for the team & friends. The location is right on the beach with a fabulous wrap around deck that provides the absolute best sunsets on the island. It's also great for BBQ's or just a simple cup of coffee while watching the waves crash! You can do Yoga on the beach or stay on the deck (it's great team building). The views are endless! We were able to work in the morning and enjoy the beauty of Fire Island in the afternoons. We're looking forward to next year! Thx Dru for another great experience.
The location of this property is beyond perfect. It sits at the foot of the dunes with views of the ocean from all its windows as well as the deck that wraps around the house. True to its name, the house allows full view of every sunrise and sunset - inside and out.
The house offers all the amenities you need for a full and complete stay. It is very clean, comfortable, cozy and accommodating while also feeling contemporary. Such a short walk to the ferry and to Schooners -- which is filled with a very friendly staff and very good food.
The communications form our host were very timely, very efficient and very helpful. They were in touch immediately after we booked the place and provided helpful updates each step of the way. Shortly after we checked in, we received a text asking how we were doing. They definitely care about the visitor experience. Our first night, we had trouble lighting the fireplace. Dru responded immediately to our text and then followed up with a phone call to walk us through the steps. The communication followed right through to check out and beyond, wanting to make sure we enjoyed our stay.
We visited in the off-season and had remarkably mild weather. The comfort of the house and the magic of the beachfront offered us such an incredible experience. We've rented houses at the beach before but never on Fire Island and never directly on the beach/slash ocean front. This was a dream come true for us and surpassed our every expectation. If you want a true beach experience without giving up comfort, care and convenience - not to mention incredible access - this is the place to stay. We hope we can return someday for more of Sunrise Sunset at Ocean Bay Park.
This home is beautiful! You can’t beat the ocean view! It has everything you need to make your stay pleasant. Great location and close to everything. Our daughters had a wonderful time.
The house was gorgeous with an amazing view of the ocean and the landlord was very nice and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed.

About the host
Hosted by Dru Finley
The photos of the house say it all - we love Fire Island and the laid back vibe, but maintain our home in excellent condition and enjoy the creature comforts within! Updated with hot water on demand system so no one ever gets that last cold shower at the end of the beach day. We love our home and hope that you will too!
Why they chose this property
Fire Island is one of the most peaceful, amazing, laid back beautiful spots in the world! Your blood pressure goes down the moment you board the ferry boat! We looked at houses one-off the beach, or further inland with lovely gardens - then stepped out onto this amazing deck overlooking the ocean and a wide expanse of beach and knew this was the house for us!
What makes this property unique
Best location! Really close to the ferry! Paved walkways! References available upon request. Happy to facetime to answer any questions you may have, and to meet "in person!"
