Fire Island Pines

Ready when the ferry docks.

Everyone arrives by boat, carrying what they can. We get to the house first, so you walk off the dock and straight into your weekend.

What we do here

The boat sets the schedule. We work back from it.

Tell us your boat. The AC is set, the beds are made, the groceries are put away, and dinner is picked up and waiting if you want it.

Houses change hands every weekend in season. We reset between groups, so your week starts from your list, not the last group’s leftovers.

Nothing reaches the island without a plan. We shop the Pantry, the Liquor Shop and the mainland, and put it all away before you arrive.

Before you go

Be early, not on time. The ferry leaves exactly on schedule. Ferry schedule →
Water taxi to the Grove. About $10 a person shared, or about $250 for a private boat.
Or walk it. Through the Meat Rack to Cherry Grove is about 20 minutes on foot, against 30–45 by water taxi.
Groceries need a plan. Every route to the island works differently. The grocery guide covers each one. The grocery guide →
