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 creamshop , 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!

    Very unique, historical beach home. We had a fantastic time despite Tropical storm Ophelia. A very special thanks to Wally who was so attentive & accommodating, knowing the storm was coming. Beautiful wedding, Kismet is a gorgeous location. We want to go back to experience the home in good beach weather.

    It was great beach house. First time at Kismet we loved it. The welcoming bottle of wine was a nice touch.

    We had a great stay at Motel-O for a mother/daughter weekend. Plenty of space for hanging out together - the living room is spacious and comfortable, there is a large outdoor dining table and the covered porch downstairs was a great retreat from the sun. Wally was super responsive to any questions we had.

    My group and I had a great time staying in this house. The outdoor shower was handy after the long days at the beach. The property manager was accommodating throughout our trip!

    Our stay at the Motel-O was great. Wally was very accommodating and pleasant to work with. It is an ideal rustic beach house with charm and character, super comfortable with everything you would need on your beach vacation. Adult kids loved the outdoor shower and the eclectic charm of the place. Easy walk to beach and bay just a little disappointed the bikes were not in great condition but so many other things to do it didn’t change our opinion.
