The Cottage at Sailors Haven

The secluded Sailors Haven Cottage provides visitors with a unique Fire Island experience. Tucked away in a quiet corner of Fire Island National Seashore, it is a small single-bedroom, single-bathroom cottage that can house 2-4 guests comfortably, just a short walk from the beach, the nearby town of Cherry Grove, and the globally rare Sunken Forest. Beds included are one queen-size bed and one full-size sofabed. Pillows, light blankets and fans are included; bed sheets and towels are not provided. The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, oven, range, coffeemaker, blender, toaster, pots and pans, eating utensils, glasses and plates. There is a deck with an outdoor shower and grill. Guests can use the nearby lifeguarded beach (lifeguard hours are seasonally dependent), hike through the swale or the Sunken Forest, go clamming in the Great South Bay, join a ranger-guided program, or enjoy the nightlife of the historic nearby town of Cherry Grove. The cottage sits near some of the most astounding natural landscapes Fire Island has to offer: the gorgeous and secluded Atlantic Ocean beach, the calm and bounteous Great South Bay, and the exceptionally rare Sunken Forest, one of just two maritime holly forests on Earth. Enjoy the cooling breeze of ocean salt-spray as you observe deer, foxes, birds, turtles and other wild animals. Other attractions close by include the Sassyfras Cafe at Sailors Haven Marina, the Sailors Haven General Store, and the Sailors Haven Visitor Center.
