The Perfect ‘FamilyMoon’!

To quote my son, our stay at Imagine was a “top-tier week”! Everything was perfect and as described. We thoroughly enjoyed the incredible kitchen and outside deck. Fran was helpful and attentive, a wonderful host. Our family was happy and comfortable all week. Thank you to the Cintorino Family for sharing your home with our family 💙

Outstanding property. Prime location between the bay and the beach. We had some issues with cleanliness upon arrival but Fran was easy to reach and very responsive. We worked together to find a solution.

Kismet, Fire Island, New York

House worked very well for us and it was as advertised. The upstairs master bedroom with ensuite bathroom is unusual in a Fire Island rental house and is a very good feature. Kitchen was large and stocked very well with dishes, glasses, cooking utensils. Two very large grills were great. Subzero refrigerator and freezer very beautiful and large and spacious - a little hard to get used to the delayed opening once it has been open but then works fine. Outdoor deck off the kitchen is very nice. All in all a good stay for a family - grandparents, parents and children.

Awesome experience

This was our first time renting a house in fire island and i must say we were not dissapointed. The "imagine" house was everything we had hoped for. The pictures were spot on. The amenities were exactly as stated- plus!!! Fran was very accessible to anything we needed. The microwave was not working when we checked in. I let her know and she immediately had a new one sent over. We will definitely be going back next year!! Thanks again fran.

Large, flexible house w/ great kitchen

We stayed 5 nights over Labor Day. The bedrooms are good, it was convenient to have an extra daybed for a kid who needed to switch rooms. All bedrooms had AC, and fans. Kitchen is excellent, thoughtfully designed and well equipped. Outdoor shower was typical of fire island, we love that. Kitchen is on 2nd floor along with a generous deck, which was really nice for grilling and relaxing, though not set up for outdoor dining. Mosquitos were mostly under control, some did get in every night but not a big deal, screens mostly in great shape. Wifi was good, we were able to spend one day working. While this house is close to the party hub in Kismet, the noise was minimal (I was surprised, to be honest) and overall it was a very quiet stay. The Kismet playground was nice to have for the 5 young children we had with us. We hope to return.

Kismet comforts

Had a great week in this house. Well appointed kitchen, a little tight for 8 adults and a dog but we made it work. Ran into some minor issues; host was responsive and helpful throughout.

Great week in Kismet

The house was well equipped to provide a great stay for our family trip. Beach Chairs, Bikes, 2 Grills and a fantastic kitchen made for a great stay. The host was available and answered quickly when we had a question.

Amazing stay at "Imagine"!

Thank you, Francine, for providing your beautiful home, so that my wife and our boys could create some extraordinary memories. From the cooling AC, to the outdoor grills and terrace, we could not have wished for anything more. Having spent many years in Seaview as a boy, it was great to be able to discover Kismet and share it with my family. The location to both town and the beach was ideal and was a great base for our adventures. We hope to return to "Imagine". Thank you for your gracious hospitality.

Great stay!

So happy that we chose this property to celebrate with friends and family. It was perfectly located between the beach and restaurants, immaculate, modern and truly offered a great space for our group. If I was to recommend anything to future renters, make sure you understand what is included with your stay. Simple things like toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap and garbage bags were not adequately provided for us. If we had known prior to arrival, we would have certainly arranged for those items prior to check in, especially considering that the market was closed. Regardless of that minor miscommunication , I highly recommend this location for your next stay. You will love it!!

Sweet 16

We brought our son and three of his friends to Fire Island to celebrate his 16th birthday. "Imagine" was the perfect oasis for this Brooklyn tribe. The boys had downstairs to themselves, my wife and I enjoyed the very peaceful upstairs. Francine was a lovely host. The kitchen is amazing! Really outstanding experience. Perfect location, perfect wifi (critical for teen boys), peaceful in so many ways!

Pleasant stay

This house is in a great location, has a wonderful porch that is always breezy, the kitchen is spacious with a great fridge and stove. Overall the house is pleasant, our only suggestion is that the cleaning service needs to do a better job.

We had a lovely time at this house! Everything went perfectly.

The property is exactly how it is listed. There are 3 bedrooms on the first floor and a master on the top level. Kitchen is huge and having 2 grills was amazing. Plenty of room for our group of 8 adults and 3 kids under 4. Would absolutely rent again! Property manager communicated frequently to check in on us and make sure everything was OK.

Beautiful Home, Great Stay! Highly Recommend

Over the years I've stayed in a few handfuls of homes across Fire Island and I can confidently say the Imagine home has been our best experience yet. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived, and the owner/property manager even left us champagne in the wine fridge as a welcome! The bedrooms are all a good size, we comfortably fit 10 people with no problem. The backyard is huge, great for hosting a gathering/BBQ. Front top deck is an awesome spot with beautiful views to hangout with a crew. The kitchen was well stocked with all drink ware, coffee machines, and utensils. Wagons, towels, beach chairs all provided which made beach-going super easy. The subzero fridge kept our drinks perfectly chilled which was probably the most important part of the weekend! Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay here. Great location, close to the restaurants/bars, and a quick shot down the walk to the beach.

About the host

Hosted by Fran Cintorino

LEFT Kismet stands for the 2 cousins and their spouses that own the home. Growing up on Long Island we were lucky enough to visit Fire Island many summers. As we got older and having our own families we knew we needed to be able to share the experience we had with our families. So we bought! The home hosts families quite well!

Why they chose this property

Kismet is the first of many communities on Fire Island. Great location, beautiful beaches and less populated than other communities on Fire Island. It's quaintness and small town feel makes it very inviting.

What makes this property unique

We have a great yard, 2 decks for entertaining or big families. Conveniently located near playground and ferry as well as a quick 3 minute walk to beach. Comfy and cozy!
