Overlooking the living room there is a quiet cozy loft perfect for reading a book on a rainy day. The two bedrooms are located off of the living area.

Fantastic spot on Fire Island
Michael's home in Lonelyville is an ideal location on Fire Island. It is on a quiet walk that provides plenty of privacy and is a wonderful spot to hang out when you're not on the beach (which is ~3 min away). Also easy walking distance to the market and restaurant in Fair Harbor and close to the larger town of Ocean Beach. A wonderful stay and we hope to return.

Great property for family gathering and privacy
This is the kind of property we love to rent because it's a real home that the owner is personally using but also willing to share with others. It has all the personality and convenience of home, it's quaint and charming. We had a blast.

charming home
Very well appointed and charming home. It was excellent to have a separate bedroom with its own bathroom off of the main house. The large kitchen had everything we needed.
