The Airbnb hosts we’ve had were the best we’ve ever encountered. Everything was seamless. The instructions were clear and helpful, covering every detail. The house was beautiful, well-kept, and had a chic vibe while still being comfortable.

The house is in an amazing location - very close to a quiet beach and easily walkable to restaurants in Ocean Beach. House is very nice and well kept. Owners were very responsive.

Windows on the World was a fabulous home with fabulous hosts! The house had everything a family needed and more. The kitchen had everything needed to cook gourmet meals, there were all the toys you could want for full beach enjoyment, there were kids toys and book for indoor entertainment, and there was even travel size tooth brushes, tooth pastes and razors if you forgot something. The location was fabulous, so close to the beach and to "town". Fire Island is such a magical place, and has hardly changed since I came as a kid! The hosts are fantastic. Helpful, kind, and responsive! I can't wait to book our trip for next year!

We had a wonderful stay. Very communicative process throughout. Had a few questions after we arrived and they were all answered quickly. 2nd house from beach. House is very well equipped with everything you could need. Lovely pool + outdoor area. More than enough bikes. Hope to be able to return sooner rather than later.

Windows on the sea is a very special airbnb! It is perfect for a multigenerational family to enjoy the beach. It would also be perfect for a group of friends that want a low key beach vacation. This is a great house, perfectly organized perfectly positioned close the beach. The kitchen has everything you would need to make be a creative cook and the house has everything you need to enjoy the island and the beach. The beds are very comfortable. Every detail is thought out. The aesthetic is both colorful and relaxing. Anthony was always available to answer questions. We even accidentally popped out a screen door on the porch and he had it replaced with an hour late Saturday afternoon. Anthony and his wife really created a wonderful home that we fully enjoyed. I love their house and look forward to staying there on another fire island trip;

I’ve rented my fair share of houses on Fire Island over the years and I can honestly say that Whitney & Anthony’s house was the nicest, by far. It looked exactly like the pictures, which showed how beautiful, modern and immaculate the space was. It had every amenity and convenience you could ask for, and it was in a perfect location… one house off the beach. Whitney & Anthony were incredibly proactive, reaching out to me several times to give me updated information and also to send me a gift in advance of our stay. They obviously know what they’re doing and how to best accommodate visitors because they had very clear instructions for everything and even some YouTube videos to show us how to convert the pool into a hot tub and other specifics. There are no better beaches to visit than that of Fire Island and our experience celebrating our twin daughter’s 16th birthday at Whitney & Anthony’s house was nothing short of magical. We will absolutely be back if they’ll have us!
