Fire Island Boatel

My family's stay at the Fire Island Boatel was truly exceptional. The location could not be any more convenient, it is literally a 30 second walk from the ferry dock. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Jill who made sure we were well situated and made herself available to any questions or concerns we may have had. Our suite was not only spotless but completely renovated with each suite having their own individual outdoor deck right on the Great South Bay which was perfect for sunset cocktails. There was a gas grill, outdoor games, lounge chairs and picnic tables also scattered about the large private grounds. We also appreciated the beach towels and beach chairs that were in our room (less to pack!). The best of all was how centrally located it is to everything while still feeling removed from it all at the same time. 10/10 stay, looking forward to returning !

Hi Albert - Thanks for the 5 Star Review! We totally agree with you. Definitely the best place to visit and the best sunsets! Enjoy the rest of your Summer!

I have nothing to gain by writing this post other than to share an amazing find! ????. We took my mom for a long overdue girls trip that was originally supposed to take place last year in NYC (pre-pandemic). Fast forward to a year and a half later, the city no longer seemed to be the right fit for something special for my mom. Instead, we heard about the new Fire Island Boatel located in Kismet. My mom has always loved the beach and that fit seemed perfect! It was a short ferry ride from Bay Shore (her first Fire Island trip ever), and was nice and close to the ferry dock. As we walked in the gate heading to our room, we were greeted by the property manager who welcomed us, showed us to our room, and pointed out what the property has to offer(barbecues, tables, outside showers, laundry and more). As we walked inside, we were all pleasantly surprised with the room! It literally had everything-a kitchen table, full kitchen with stove, refrigerator, microwave, etc, a King size bed, pull out sofa and gorgeous decor. I am a bit of a clean freak and the place was immaculate (which made me feel so much better about my mom staying there given the year we’ve had). The BEST PART of all was the view from our back deck. After dinner we all sat outside, had some coffee and watched the most gorgeous sunset right from our room. It was honestly picture perfect. I kind of wanted to keep this place a secret, but instead, I thought it would be best to share this amazing place with anyone that loves the beach, sunsets, and relaxing as much as I do. I cannot wait to do this again next summer!

Hi Traci - Thank you for the kind words! We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful time with your Mom at the Fire Island Boatel. Yes, Kismet and the Fire Island Boatel are truly the Best Kept Secrets on Long Island. We look forward to seeing you next summer! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Having never been to Fire Island, we were so amazed how beautiful it really is there. We stayed at the Fire Island Boatel Kismet and we could not have picked a better place to get the true feel of what Kismet and the rest of Fire Island is really like. Our room was the “sunset suite” which I highly recommend for anyone who plans to stay there, although all the other 9 suites are beautiful as well. The sunset views are breathtaking. All the rooms have been totally renovated and the Boatel has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The Inn Keepers (Jill and Jimmy) are attentive to anything you need. You have your own private deck to sit out on in the morning to enjoy a cup of coffee while you enjoy the views of the Great South Bay or to sit back and relax after a day of exploring Fire Island. It’s just steps away from where the Fire Island Ferry drops you off or to get a Water Taxi to explore other towns on the Island. We highly recommend the Fire Island Boatel Kismet for anyone who wants to truly get a feel of what Fire Island life is all about. It is also conveniently located near great restaurants, entertainment, a great wine store and a market that has just about everything you would need.

Thanks Anne for the 5 Star Review and for staying at the Fire Island Boatel! We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you in the near future. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

The Boatel is awesome. We stayed in a suite (everything is newly renovated and super clean!) with our kids last week and we can't wait to go back. The staff is fantastic and the location can't be beat! We had our morning coffee and our after dinner cocktails on the deck overlooking the bay. We can't say enough great things about this place.

So glad we found this place, it was absolutely perfect for our family of 4. It is pristine and so beautiful. The bay view and little private bay beach were so relaxing and the private backyard area with grills, games and lounge chairs was huge! Beach chairs and towels provided, only a few steps to the restaurants. Thanks Jill for an amazing visit!!!
