Charming Beach Cottage Steps from beach with delightful ocean views

Beautiful relaxing cottage! We loved the location and vibe. The sound of ocean waves and a bottle of rose on arrival. Thank you!

Lovely home as always

We had a great stay! Well appointed, clean, and great location! Richard was a great host and went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our trip.

We loved this charming little cottage! Clean, spacious, and great view of the ocean from the upper deck. Owner was very responsive. Highly recommend.

Thanks for letting us stay. Appreciate the birthday card and wine. Amazing stay at this cozy home.

I have never been to Fire Island but when my friends told me about it and said we should do a trip, I jumped right in. I am originally from Boston but have lived in Texas for the past 15 years. We all met at Richard's VRBO and just had the best time of our lives. It was clean, location was exceptional to beach and town, and the place was so cute. This will be an annual trip for us and I will 100% be checking to see if this property is available next year. Thank you so much for hosting such a beautiful property. We created memories for a lifetime.

I had the utmost displeasure of contracting a severe GI bug en route to the Pines. It set the tone and schedule for my entire stay, so it wasn’t my best vacation. That said, Richard’s home could not have been a better place to both support my recovery and to isolate. Richard gave excellent instructions on how to utilize all the home amenities. Having stayed there two weeks, I definitely appreciated the clear guidance that helped me care for myself. I did a lot of laundry during my stay, because of the vomiting that carried on for 12 days. I used lots more other amenities that helped me care for myself: the ample cleaning supplies gave me peace of mind knowing I could keep everything sanitized as best as possible, the availability of a cart and reusable shopping bags made big grocery runs a cinch. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in - ample pots, pans, dishware, etc, and I loved getting to use the grill. I did my best to isolate, which meant I spent most of my time in the house, and I was very comfortable in all rooms at all times of the day, without the use of A/C much. WiFi was perfect and reliable. In addition to the cottage resources, people in the Pines helped me during the ordeal, including the Doctor and Nurse at Whyte Hall, the Suffolk County Police [who took me by boat to Long Island to catch the ambulance on the way to the Emergency Room], and the Pines Pantry [who delivered groceries directly to the house when I couldn’t make it on my own].

A couple of friends and I spent a few nights at the house while on the island for a wedding. The location is convenient and quite - far enough from any noise near the harbor but not too far of a walk with suitcases. The views of the ocean from the main level of the house were lovely to wake up to each day and there is plenty of outdoor space to relax. The house was clean and had everything that we needed. A brand new (and powerful) blender was a plus for daiquiri hour!

We had an amazing stay at the Pines! Richard was a fantastic host! House was very clean and had everything we needed. Amazing deck with a grill! Strongly recommend anyone to stay here.

Great long weekend getaway!
