We absolutely loved our stay at The Ocean Bay House! We chose the property for it's proximity to the Fire Island Ferry (a scenic 15-20 min walk) but ended up wanting to spend more time on property instead of on Fire Island! The pool was beautiful and there are so many nice places to sit outdoors. We enjoyed some wine on the front porch and the back outdoor table is a beautiful place to have a meal. Our room was spacious, clean and very nicely decorated. The included breakfast was delicious. It was a perfect Staycation for us and we will definitely be back!

Lovely neighborhood, beautiful home. However, we found the stairs from the first to the second floor particularly problematic in the they were steep, winding, and in some areas without a rail. As partially disabled people, we found negotiating the stairs to be difficult and potentially dangerous.
