Beach Rental In Long Beach NY
Great host and great place! Will definitely be staying here again!

Savor Blazing Ocean Sunsets at a Soothing Beachfront Haven
We absolutely loved our quick getaway from the city at Kate’s lovely home. It is hard to articulate in words just how beautiful of a home and location this was. It was truly magical. We were very comfortable as a family traveling with young children. Despite the weather being a bit chilly, we had a wonderful time soaking the views and discovering “treasures” by the water. We cannot wait to come back again soon.

Chic Coastal Retreat: Modern Apt Steps from Beach
Nice ground floor apartment across the street from the beach and 2 blocks from the state park. Love the outdoors. And Delores and her brother were amazing. Friendly, responsive, and helpful.

A-Frame cabin with private beach & epic sunsets
Amber’s place was immaculate and stunning. This was my 2nd time staying and it was just as magical! The place had plenty of space for a family of 3 and the washer/dryer was very convenient. We had a great time and would stay here again!

Cheerful 2 bedroom cottage on beach
This house is absolutely perfect. It's clean, charming, has everything you need. The beautiful back yard has plenty of space and good stuff for kids to play with. Also, it's about a 30 second walk to the beach... neighbors are out on their patch of beach but yours is yours to yourself. It's perfect. We cannot wait to come back.

Bay's Edge Vacation Get a Way
Earl, was great to work with. We were only there for few hours. However I would recommend highly and will look to stay here again should work bring me back out that way.

Beach House steps from sand & Amazing Views
Beautiful home with lovely views. Great kitchen for cooking. We had 8 of us and the house was spacious and welcoming for the group.

The Barefoot Bungalow
This house was a lovely place for our family trip! Our party of 4 had plenty of room to spread out, beach is just a few min away, along with restaurants, shops etc. There is plenty of room in the backyard, but my family really enjoyed sitting on the front porch and playing cards. Everything we needed was there, and all questions answered quickly! I would definitely book again!!

Sunny 1BR Apartment
Clean , modern apt. Very easy to navigate with the technology. Staff very friendly and helpful. A bit noisy on street outside with traffic. Will definitely rent again with URBY, but request a courtyard side unit

Seaside Serenity: 2B 1B, Patio,Near Beach
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was a perfect size for our family and our son had a great time playing in the yard and the playground right next door. Our hosts were super responsive the couple of times we needed something. We'll definitely be back!

Home away your home
Nice place exactly what the pictures show .. Super nice host.. but if you are looking for a quiet place. This place is definitely not it. You can hear every move and every sound from the people that live upstairs last night we spent a good few hours hearing a baby cry. Also they have the children’s toys such as a trampoline up against the window of the unityou do park on the street and the owner or tenants whoever lives upstairs parks in the driveways. it’s a very tight walk in between cars in the driveway because they do park a lot of cars in the driveway side-by-side.

"Red House on the Knoll" at Indian Cove
My family and I loved staying at Gail’s place! We grew up in Madison and were back for a visit. It was such a great place and allowed us to re-live many fond memories of growing up in the area!

Kayaks ~ Bikes ~ Boards ~ 6mins> Greenport ~ 55"TV
Had a wonderful time over Easter with my family and dog. The view was exquisite and the house very comfortable. Eileen was very responsive and even had hair dryers sent over. The house was very well equipped with lots of kitchen staple goods. Just be aware there is no microwave, but there is a very nice Breville toaster oven. Also, there is a large table outside for a group, but only a small table and counter seating in kitchen inside. We didn't have any issue since the weather was perfect for us to enjoy our Easter dinner outside. Overall, a beautiful home and only minutes from Greenport and wineries.

Pet Friendly Bungalow!!!
June and her bungalow emanated an inviting warmth from the very beginning. My partner and I were looking for a peaceful getaway with our pup, and we were thrilled to see such a beautiful, affordable, pet friendly option by the water. I then saw that it was just 15mins from my grandmother in Waterford, so we would be able to visit with her, too! We exchanged friendly messages right after booking, and I immediately felt confident and comfortable with our decision to stay at her place. June was incredibly thoughtful and seemed to think of everything! She sent a message earlier in the week ahead of the booking to let us know she was preparing for our stay and to share excitement on the beautiful forecast. She was flexible and communicative on check in/check out times, and wished us well throughout her stay. We felt truly at home upon arrival. You can tell this bungalow has been loved and cared for, and that many good times have been shared. Very positive and serene energy. 🌅♥️🐾

Great little place just for a couple
We had a great time staying with Marina. The space was so clean and the perfect size for two adults and our senior pup. The outdoor space was beautifully landscaped and the beach was only a 5 minute walk. We would definitely come back!

Sleek and Chic cottage/Pool House
Perfect getaway in Shelter Island! The pool house is as amazing as it looks in the listing :) Cute house on a beautiful, peaceful and very private green lot. Primael was very welcoming and responsive. She was also very flexible in terms of our check in and check out. Everything went super smoothly. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

Your guide to Fire Island
All About Fire Island
In the 1920s, New York theater folks started hopping from the island of Manhattan to another long and narrow island about 60 miles east called Fire Island. Soon, other creatives followed — writers and artists, and eventually the celebrity crowd looking for a getaway from the big city in the form of a Fire Island vacation. Only a quarter of a mile wide, the island is filled with sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches on one side and the Great South Bay’s shores on the other.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Fire Island
Despite its proximity to Long Island, conditions can be quite different on Fire Island than on the mainland. Along with the sprawling sea views comes extreme weather, which can swing from more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit in August to below zero December through February. That said, summers tend to be warm and humid, with temperatures in the 60s to 80s. Springs can be cool and windy, ranging from the 30s to 60s, and falls and winters are cold with periods of rain, usually in the 30s to 50s. No matter what time of year, it’s a good idea to keep checking the forecast and always be ready with multiple layers. Also be aware that Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November.
Top things to do in Fire Island
Ocean Beach
The island’s largest hamlet channels a Greenwich Village vibe, with a family-friendly downtown area lined with restaurants, boutiques, and bars, plus a lifeguarded ocean beach and bayside marina.
Ocean Bay Park
Just east of Ocean Beach is the slightly more laidback community of Ocean Bay Park — just a half-mile long — popular with both singles and family crowds, despite the lack of lifeguards on duty.
Kismet
The annual clam shucking contest draws visitors to this hamlet on the far western point of the island near the Fire Island Lighthouse. As opposed to some exclusive communities, Kismet is known for welcoming all into its five blocks.
Fire Island Pines & Cherry Grove
Better known as simply the Pines and the Grove, these two villages were among the first places in the country where the LGBTQ community could be open about their identities; they remain a popular destination for the community. Boardwalks line both hamlets, connecting the beaches with restaurants and nightlife hotspots.
