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 families. 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. A wonderful place for families to make memories and for children to build on them. My children treasure the time they spend 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

About Ellen Frankel

I am a former home design editor of consumer magazines and my home reflects that in a beach house manner. My family uses it between renters so I've based the design, furniture and amenities on what I think occupants might need, plus what they might want.

Why Ellen Frankel chose Robbins Rest

My home has a rare location with spectacular views of ocean, bay and wildlife sanctuary. My neighbors are quiet and there is a good distance between our houses.

What makes this house unique

Sunsets and setting convinced us to buy this house as we looked forward to using it for many generations. Our outside hot and cold water shower is a treasure as it is large, well located and open to the sky!

The dream vacation

Submitted: September 17, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We stayed for 5 days in Ellen’s beautiful Fire Island home in July (2012). Even though the photos are very well taken, they are unable to capture the magic atmosphere of this Fire Island home. The view of the ocean, bay, and even wildlife are extraordinary. We appreciated Ellen’s warm welcome and her availability. The neighbours were also very friendly and helpful. The house was very well organized and equipped from separate cutting boards for meat, fish, and vegetables to beach toys for the children. The irreproachable cleanliness and upkeep of the property really made us feel at home. Since we enjoyed the house and the beach so much, we really didn’t visit Fire Island beyond Ocean Beach. We hope to return to Ellen’s home for a longer stay on a future vacation. I highly recommend this home to anyone who enjoys relaxing and calm beach vacations!
Owner's Response: Joanna has written a review that is better than any comment I could make. It was a pleasure having her at my home. I'll never forget her friend's reaction when tears came to her eyes as she walked out on the upper deck and saw the ocean, the bay, and the National Seashore all at once!

The perfect Fire Island House

We spent 10 days at the Frankel house this July 2011. The house location is truly unique with near 360 degree view of the ocean and the bay boasting amazing sunsets every nights. Ellen was an amazing host, very organized and easy to deal with. The house is truly special, spacious and with beautiful views. The beach is perfect - Fire Island beauty without the crowds, yet a 10 minute walk to the amenities in Ocean Beach.

Submitted: August 30, 2010 Stayed: July 2010
Rented in August 2010 and had a great 2 week family vacation. House well situated about 10 yards from beach stairs overlooking beach and wildlife preserve so great views. House is welcoming and very functional with comfortable beds and couches. Has the necessary equipment including grill, child gates for stairs, cribs, high chairs, beach toys and bikes. Nice deck overlooking ocean. Beach is quiet and uncrowded even in August. Is a 10-15 minute walk from Ocean Beach.
