Fire Island is a place that's perfect for renters and ideal for families. Easily accessible by walking or bicycling - beaches are just minutes from your residence. A paradise for children and a summer haven for adults. There are exercise classes, tennis, volleyball, basketball, softball, soccer, fishing, bird watching and of course, the soft, warm sand and picturesque beaches. You'll enjoy bazaars, festivals, fairs, parades, garden and house tours. There are many restaurants to dine at that are easily accessible by water taxi from any community. With all communities being basically “vehicle free”, it's safe for you and your children to bicycle to and fro. It's healthy too!
If you are looking for a place to rent for the summer, whether for two weeks, a month, July and August or the entire summer season, then choose a place that's just an hours ride from Manhattan and a quick ferry ride across the bay.
It is common for families that have been renting for a couple of years, to decide to buy. There is something to be said about having your own summer home. The enjoyment of decorating and renovating. The memories you build year after year with your children, family and friends. The satisfaction of knowing your children, and their children, will have a place to remember and share for many years to come.
Fire Island. The air is clean and the life is great. You only live once.
