Home in Cherry Grove, Fire Island
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 90 reviewsBayfront Fun - 3 BR & 3 Ensuite Bath with Hot Tub!
This spot is incredible!! Rented it for me, my partner and a few of our friends for my birthday and it was truly a spectacular landing spot!! Robert is very communicative and available about any needs and the view cannot be beat. Will note that while they are pet friendly, they don’t like animals on the furniture and also it is a glitter free space, if you are a sparkly gay like myself, it may not be the space for you!
Cottage in Ocean Bay Park
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsBeach Home on Fire Island/Dog Friendly
Wonderful experience renting from Lily. The kitchen was well stocked with every dish and kitchen tool that we needed for the two families of 4 during our stay. Having two side by side outdoor showers was a game changer and made the entire experience super easy for a large group like ours post-beach every day. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely time! The Airbnb was clean, close to the beach, had plenty of beds, and the hosts were responsive when there was an issue with the gas oven.

5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsFair Harbor, Fire Island sunny 3 bedroom
Felt so grateful to be there! Elizabeth's place is lovely! The house is shaped like a U with a very private deck. It was open and airy, beautifully decorated and the master is very spacious. Well equipped with outdoor and indoor games. The teens loved it too! What stood out to me the most was the extraordinary light that flooded through the many sliders and windows. The holiday weekend was nice and quiet, and bay still warm enough to swim! Elizabeth was communicative and kind. Thank you! Hope to stay here again!

We had a relaxing stay in Fire Island. The house is cute with lots of quirky beachy Fire Island charm. Location is excellent - just a short walk from ocean bay park ferry and super close to the beach. The outdoor shower (with hot water!) was such a great bonus feature of the house! All in all we would definitely recommend booking. Thanks for a great stay :)

My fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, along with our dog. Jessica's home was very nice, super clean, and had everything we needed, and she was very friendly and responsive. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it.
Your guide to Ocean Beach
All About Ocean Beach
Often considered the capital of Fire Island’s array of coastal micro-towns, Ocean Beach is home to cozy restaurants, laid-back bars, and soft swatches of sand. During the day, stretch your legs with a scenic walk along the beach, or leisurely bike ride around the island, admiring the coastal-style homes painted in all the colors of a candy box, and reveling in the breeze and birdsong.You could easily spend an afternoon perusing independent local shops, or picking up a whimsically-painted seashell from local children who sell them from the red wagons that everybody here seems to use to haul their things around town.
Ocean Beach may be a small town, but it has inherited one important trait from its Manhattan neighbor — nightlife. Local restaurants and bars are open late in the summer, and the town is still lively and buzzing once the sun goes down. Fire Island as a whole has an important place in LGBTQ history, and Pride celebrations here are inclusive events that draw participants and supporters from far and wide.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ocean Beach
Ocean Beach (and the rest of Fire Island) are hot summer destinations — both in temperature and in popularity. If you’re coming between Memorial Day and Labor Day, you’ll be joined by other visitors staying at a beach house in New York. During the month of June — and often into July and August — Fire Island goes big to celebrate Pride, with the annual parade and many offshoot events celebrating the LGBTQ community. Outside of high season, many shops, restaurants, bars, and the Fire Island ferry will be closed or have reduced hours. In spring and autumn, enjoy the more tranquil side of the island, and spend your time enjoying coastal walks, cycling, and exploring the beautiful state parks in the area. Come in winter to hunker down in a cozy cottage and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Top things to do in Ocean Beach
Wander the Sunken Forest
Rare 300-year-old American holly and black cherry oaks form a canopy of leaves at this Fire Island spot, which is protected behind a ring of sand dunes. The dunes rise up around the forest, giving it the illusion of being receded into the ground — but don’t worry, it’s not really sinking. Wander through the scenic trails, taking in this unique and wild landscape at the Sunken Forest, which is a quick 20-minute drive from Ocean Beach.
Celebrate LBGTQ History
Fire Island has long been a haven for the LGBTQ community. Pride celebrations here rival those of anywhere else in the world, and you can find events like drag bingo, as well as revolving installations by LGBTQ artists, on any night of the week.
The beach
Above all else, Ocean Beach is a beach town. Stretches of soft sand give way to the crisp Atlantic Ocean, and the beach boardwalk offers some of the prettiest coastal sunset views there are. Fire Island boasts 32 miles of beaches — while Ocean Beach tends to be popular with families, Fair Harbour is a quieter option, and Cherry Grove often attracts a younger crowd.
