Further details for this vacation house rental in Robbins Rest, New York

Comfortable surroundings, easy upkeep. : Excellent, fresh mattresses; bed and bath linens provided, reclining beach chairs, 2 PackNPlay,2 high chairs, beach toys of all kinds. Adult and children's games, puzzles, cards, etc. Golf at one of the country's best-Bethpage-within 1/2 hour drive from ferry. Previous renter referrals available on guestbook.

Magical setting: My home is located facing the ocean and the wildlife sanctuary. It is private, quiet, serene and can be very romantic as well as very suitable for a family or two to share. Wraparound decks and screen porch offer many choices of places to read, talk and gaze at the scenery in groups or in privacy. Watch peaceful, spectacular sunsets that you'll never forget as the sky turns pink and the sun disappears into the bay. Fire Island is a very special place like no other in the world. Yet, it is so close to New York City and all its excitement. a wonderful place for families to make memories and for children to build on them. My three children treasure the summers they spent here and return often to have their children experience the same. Drawing on the sidewalk with colored chalk, collecting seashells, painting on rocks, reading. All the pleasures of a simple and shared summer to make memories that last forever.

From a guest summer 2006--We had a great time at your house. Actually, a great time isn't really the right way to describe it. It was idyllic. It was exactly the kind of experience I always imagined for the kids--the freedom to run around and explore without visible parental interference. They made sand castles; they had water fights; they collected shells; they painted shells; they rode back and forth to the bay. They exhausted themselves in the surf. It was beyond my greatest expectations. How often in life does that happen? Unfortunately, I'm already back into the very busy fall schedule and Robbins Rest is just a beautiful memory. Really, thanks for sharing that incredible place with us.-Marie, NYC

Other Activities: day camp, playground, movies, swimming, running, surfing, fishing, shopping, baseball, restaurants, tennis, basketball, baseball.

Ellen Frankel Home

MatthewMcCue Natick, Massachusetts
Review Submitted: October 15, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We have enjoyed a family vacation at Ellen's home for the past two years. We rent towards the end of September when the island is almost vacant. The home is very comfortable. The views are incredible and the ocean is literally a baseball toss away. Ellen is a wonderful host and makes the rental process very easy. She even provides the wagons to use at the ferry dock!

Fantastic house!

PSbklyn Berlin, Germany
Review Submitted: October 14, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
I rated my overall experience as good rather than excellent only because there were a few items missing or not in order--things that I expected to be at the house or in working order. Otherwise, we had a fantastic time at this house. The location is fantastic--secluded enough to enjoy quiet time and the outdoors but not too far away from shops, etc, when needed. The view from the top deck is probably the best I've seen on fire island! I liked that the house wasn't directly on the beach, but set back (one house in front.). The house is spacious and perfectly laid out. Overall a wonderful retreat and my 2 year old son loved it. I would recommend this house to anyone. One word of caution, however, to anyone who rents this house for a large group: Like most wooden houses, you hear everything, including the septic system and water tank!

Thanking you from Montreal, Quebec!

Dominique and Pierre Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We have been in Ellen's house twice, in july this year and also 3 years ago. And again it was a delight to stay in this magnificent house for two weeks, comfortable and "homy". The beach is great, you can feel in a wild place even if it's so close to New York and easy to get there. Quiet, beautiful mornings and dinners on the deck, looking at the sun setting on one side and the moon coming on the other! I don't know if you can find something better! We hope that life will bring us there again. Thank you!

We're beginning to make this an annual event.

Another Ellen Vermont
Review Submitted: August 7, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Our first stay at Ellen's house was perfect; we had to go back again this year. We love being able to see both the ocean and the bay right from the great room and the deck. It's a perfect location ... walking distance of Ocean Beach but far enough away that it's quiet and private. We'll be back again next year, ready to do nothing except read, walk, swim, eat good food (what a great kitchen.)

Fabulous!!

JGP Long Island, NY
Review Submitted: August 16, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We stayed at the Frankel house in July of this year, 2008.
What a memorable vacation. The house is spacious, very private and has incredible views of the sunset, moon rise,
the ocean and bay. Practically oceanfront and the walk to the water is about 1 minute. Close enough to run back to the house if you need to. BEAUTIFUL beach. Great outdoor shower under the stars and a kitchen with fab views as well- great to cook in. We loved it. Ideal for people who enjoy a walk into town but have no desire to be in town.
