About this apartment rental
Summary:
2 Bedroom Apt. in Ocean Bay Park, walk to beach and entertainment
The Space:
Experience the beach getaway of a lifetime with your nearest and dearest at this condo in the heart of Fire Island's Ocean Bay Park! This kid-friendly retreat is accessible only by ferry and features two levels full of comfort and convenient amenities. You can reach the ferry terminal in Bay Shore after a 15-minute drive from Long Island MacArthur Airport, meaning you'll be enjoying your sandy paradise in no time. Paid parking is available at 99 Maple Ave. on the right for those arriving at the ferry terminal by car. Walk to the beach each morning, come home to grill and relax on the deck, and take leisurely rides around town on one of the provided bikes. The well-equipped kitchen will also make cooking a breeze; make sure to buy some groceries and goodies at the nearby Ocean Bay Park Market and surprise your guests with savory, full-course meals or quick beach snacks. Once mealtime is over, unwind on the deck that comes equipped with all-new beach chairs and umbrellas, or head back inside to snuggle up on the sofa and watch a fun movie on the smart TV with a refreshing beverage in hand. This retreat also boasts a convenient washer/dryer combo that will allow you to pack light and make space for souvenirs. The king bed features a brand-new memory foam mattress, ensuring a blissful night's rest.
This home is only 1.5 blocks from the beach and the Atlantic Ocean, as well as mere steps from Fire Island SUP Co. - a one-stop shop for watersports lessons and parasailing, paddleboard, and tubing rentals. Seaview is a short five-minute walk away, while Ocean Beach is only a mile from you, giving you even more options while out and about. Spend hot summer days at Sunken Forest a 23-minute walk away, where you can enjoy some shade and take a ranger-led walk through the trees and dunes. After a gorgeous day on the sand, take your pick from the dozens of local restaurants to sate your appetite. Steps away in the neighborhood is Schooner's Inn, a restaurant and bar near the ferry while Flynn's Fire Island is a two-minute walk from you. Dino's on the Bay deli and Island Pantry are a bit further, but well worth the five-minute walk. Island Mermaid and Hideaway are also great dining options one mile away in Ocean Beach. Traveling five miles will take you to the Fire Island Lighthouse, where you can learn about the history of Fire Island and take a tour of the tower.
The other two apartments on the property, Unit 1 and Unit 2, are available to rent as well; all three apartments can be rented together as The Surfcomber Multi-Residence Home.

The door code gave us problems but the owners gave us a key instead for the side door.The outside shower and toilet were great. There is only one bathroom downstairs which was a little annoying but we made do. Overall it was the right fit for me and my 3 kids.

How close the ferry was and the beach was a 5 min walk. Having bikes available was a nice extra also

Awesome little beach house right near the dock and short walk to the beach. House was clean and ready to go with beach towels, bikes, and chairs :) Back patio was great for grilling after the beach!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
Upon first entering the unit, we loved it and felt it was just what we needed. It was hot in the unit so we turned the thermostats down and headed off to the beach for the day. When we got back to the room, it was still really hot and humid inside, and even more so upstairs in the bedrooms. We went to dinner, came back later and the place was still so hot and humid. I contacted Vacasa at 9:30pm to let them know the thermostat was set to 64 but the temperature was 80 degrees. At that time it was way past our 3 young children’s bedtime so we buckled down and did what we had to do. We went to bed sweating and uncomfortable. The next morning I received a call from a local team member who was extremely rude to me on the phone, but told me a plumber would be by during the day. By 5:45pm, I contacted Vacasa again to inform them that no one had been by to assess the issue. I then received a call from the same local team member who was not quite as rude but certainly not apologetic by any means, and she soon came by with portable fans (which did nothing but blow around the hot humid air downstairs and in the master bedroom) and a portable A/C unit for the children’s room. We headed out to dinner and returned home at 10:00pm to an even hotter house. The A/C unit had been set to 78 degrees and was blowing hot air. I turned it down to 61 and myself, my husband and all three of our children slept that night in 4 bunk beds. It was unbearably hot going to sleep but did finally cool down in the middle of the night. The bedroom consists of a twin set of bunk beds and a full set of bunk beds. None of the mattresses or pillows are decent quality or comfort. Of course the full was more ideal but the top bunk of the full bed was so unsturdy, I was afraid it would collapse with any normal tossing and turning throughout the night. It was not a very safe or comfortable sleep. The next day I heard from the local team member again, who told me the plumber had come by and assessed the A/C unit only to discover the whole compressor was broken and wouldn’t be fixed during our stay, as we were checking out the next morning. So the 5 of us spent another night in 4 (unsturdy) bunk beds. Upon check out I asked the the local team member what I could expect to happen next… and that prompted her to acknowledge that some sort of compensation should be given. It has now been two weeks since our stay and countless text messages I’ve sent to Vacasa. They have yet to let me know what amount of compensation they’re offering. I was hoping the issues would have been resolved by the time I wrote this review, but no such luck.
