Short term Fire Island Beach House (Kismet)

This is a classic, 70's modern open spacious home that is about a minute from the beach on foot. People who stay here love it and part of that is that they do not come with expectations of a 5star luxury resort. It's a super cool home, a little on the older side. But packed with character and charm. We have also done a lot of improvements which the current photos don't reflect
A great place for groups and families! Kismet is such a great place- 2 restaurants, a market, ice cream shop , play ground, tennis courts and of course the 24/7 beach just steps away!

4 bedrooms. (5 beds, one of which is a king, the others are queens). It sleeps 8 and is priced for 8. Someone must be over 21. Guests above 8 will have a per person up charge .


There are no cars allowed on Fire Island so it's all about the ferry from Bay Shore, which is a 20 minute departure from stress into the dreamscape that is Fire Island! The house is great for families (including smaller kids but it isn't totally 'kid proofed' with outlet covers (for example). We get a lot of 20 and 30 something friends, as well as wedding party guests and the occasional writer! We rent by the weekend, the mid week, or by the full week (Fri to Fri).

There's a private deck (with a table and chairs) open to the stars, a full kitchen, BBQ, outdoor shower, house wagon, some bikes, and some beach chairs.

We don't provide towels, but we do provide fresh linens. The house is professionally cleaned for each guest.

If you really need towels, we might be able to do something but there will be an extra charge- House keeping needs to focus on things other than towel cleaning!
