We absolutely loved our stay at The Ocean Bay House! We chose the property for it's proximity to the Fire Island Ferry (a scenic 15-20 min walk) but ended up wanting to spend more time on property instead of on Fire Island! The pool was beautiful and there are so many nice places to sit outdoors. We enjoyed some wine on the front porch and the back outdoor table is a beautiful place to have a meal. Our room was spacious, clean and very nicely decorated. The included breakfast was delicious. It was a perfect Staycation for us and we will definitely be back!

Lovely neighborhood, beautiful home. However, we found the stairs from the first to the second floor particularly problematic in the they were steep, winding, and in some areas without a rail. As partially disabled people, we found negotiating the stairs to be difficult and potentially dangerous.

Response from Jennifer on 10 Nov 2021
Thank you Rich for you review. We are deeply sorry that you found the stairs to be a problem. We could have moved your room to the first floor had we known about the problem but rest assured next time you stay with us we will make sure you are on the first floor. Thank you so much for taking time and letting us know about your stay with us. We loved having you and am glad that you enjoyed the property and stay otherwise.

The home was charming and extremely well-kept. The innkeepers, Liz and Jen, were friendly and welcoming. They served us an awesome breakfast and made us feel right at home during our stay. The house is on a residential street but is walkable to a beautiful marina with plenty of great restaurants. This is our new go-to place when we visit Robert Moses beach and want to spend the night!
