We had a great time. Was here after school went back into session so town was fairly empty. Staff was great. It is a beach town and the facility is pretty much right on the beach (less than 50 yards).

Actually really disappointed with our last stay. Is there no turn down service anymore? we stayed sun to Wed and never saw a maid attend our room or given more towels. Nevemind the leak in the room and mold smell they mask with empty air fresheners. Don't sleep on the beach side. And the rates are definitely not worth it anymore esp. for a weekday. $30 for chicken cesar wrap that wasn't consistent in size, Slimy pool from all the sunscreen and sand. Will rethink coming back anytime soon. Esp after not being compensated in any sort of way.

I will say that the location mostly makes up for the deficits regarding the Fire Island Hotel & Bungalows. I should preface this by saying I have only stayed in the bungalows with 2 bed and 1 bath. I have no experience with the hotel rooms. We have mostly positive to say about the two bedroom one bathroom bungalow with large deck and outdoor shower. We loved the outdoor shower/cabana. My Husband wants me to add that the outlets are in serious disrepair causing electrical hazards. The bathroom offers no privacy. It’s dirty at best with a layer of sand covering everything. No housekeeping service FYI- something to consider… The floors are completely worn & look like they have never been waxed or anything like that. There is a layer of sand everywhere. Absolutely zero upkeep… it was seven grand plus for the week - actually one day less than a week. I don’t think there is any housekeeping service. It is basically an Airbnb type of experience… you are completely paying for the location. If you don’t mind - which we didn’t - you will enjoy it here. Upon arrival, we walked in & found the bungalow was stuffy and hot. I found a cockroach. The AC unit in the bedroom spit ice at My Husband when he tried to turn it on. The hotel had stuffed towels under the unit in anticipation of it leaking, I suppose. One night we both were uncomfortable because of the tiny size of the room. There is absolutely nothing on the walls and it can be claustrophobic as a note to those who need a larger space. Thankfully, the main area has vaulted ceiling with a non-operational skylight. The ceiling fan in the main area was covered in dust, which flies around when you turn on the ceiling fan. The pullout couch should not be absolutely not be considered as an option. It is small and old and worn. The temperature was very difficult to control. It was either freezing or hot. I wish they were ceiling fans in the bedrooms but the bedrooms are so small and the ceilings are so low it could not be possible. There is overall very little privacy, so it would only be appropriate for parents traveling with small children, possibly. My Husband and I stayed in one room and I were Daughter and her boyfriend and the other. I really don’t think they renovated much since Hurricane Sandy, but the location cannot be beat. We love Ocean Bay Park and if you also love it, there’s nothing better. We sometimes stay in Ocean Beach at the Palms, which has better amenities and probably more high-end rooms but it’s a busy part of town, which is a blessing and Curse. Personally, I like the piece, but My Husband prefers the poems since not only do you have use of the hotel you are staying in, but you can also use their location on the bay which has kayaks and stand-up paddles. It’s a further walk to the beach from Palms. I love the location of the bungalow at the fire Island Beach House. I would recommend this location if you prefer the pristine nature and wildlife and neighborhood of Ocean Bay Park. This is a very laid-back spot and the staff is friendly They also will hold your luggage so you can enjoy fire Island after you check out. They even take your luggage from the ferry to the hotel and from the hotel to the ferry when you leave. The service was not offered at the Palms.

Really enjoyed our stay here! We got here well before check in and they held our bags and gave us beach chairs so we could relax in the beach while the room was getting ready. Very attentive and caring. Upon checkout they offered us beach chairs for the day and held our bags which they tagged to be dropped off right at the ferry for us! Makes the stay super easy and enjoyable. Only spot we know of on fire island so close to the beach! We hung out on the beach each day and walk back up to the hotel easily to use the bathroom and grab drinks whenever we needed! Drinks and food are great. Really enjoyed our stay and will be coming back for sure!

We stayed for 2 nights during June 2026. We had a great experience. Location was amazing, we were steps away from one of the fun Fire Island beaches and an easy walk to Flynn's. The room was modern and clean, we had a little patio to enjoy in the evenings. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. My only request would be a refrigerator in the room.

Cheap hotel standards with high rates. I would not recommend. Staying here is actually a hazard to your health. No joke.

If you like sleeping with roaches, spiders and black mold then this place is for you. If you like swimming in pools that are slimy, not cared for and crumbling, you'll love it here. If you enjoy bumping elbows with drunk degenerates who mosey on down for a dip without any repercussions as you're paying a couple K for an overpriced room, then don't wait on your next booking. The staff here is something else - they give zero care for any of your concerns. You might as well be camping. Especially since the hot water never really seems to work.

This is the most mixed up review ever. I stayed at FIBH - one of 2 wedding venues recommended in the wedding invitation The location is lovely with a minimalist room that was clean with comfortable beds When I booked, I noted one wedding bride cited how well they treated a guest with mobility issues which I have presently-torn knee and recently broken ankle. I explained to the person who booked me that I needed the least stairs for the room because I have a torn knee to be operated on in October and a recently broken ankle. The room was fine, minimalist (strangely no luggage racks, chair or table inside) but that's ok. The shower was nice and the beds wonderfully comfortable if you like soft. People with broken ankles and knees like soft! It is 3 star. The grounds have a picnic table and easy beach access. The astroturf is a little weird but who cares? The issue was that FiBH did not want to pick me up at the dock with luggage, told me that I could not go in the golf cart because someone sued them when they purposely fell out and could not help me make alternate arrangements. They were definitive that I should not ask in the future. Later, they would not let us even use a cart so my husband could pull me up the road. They claimed the tire was flat although it looked fine. Some of the very nice staff were terrified if they helped me that they would be fired. You might think they would have mentioned this issue at the time of booking so I could have made alternate arrangements with the wedding party ahead of time. Or just not been able to come. This eventuality had not occurred to me when I booked so I missed all the activities the first night which required going back to the dock (they refused to get me back there) and then water taxi to Ocean Beach to the Mermaid. It was mean-spirited and inflexible not even to suggest anything. Ironically, the heavy door to the bathroom had no emergency stop on the slide mechanism and so fell on the bed. If you stay thee, slide that door very slowly!Had we been on the bed, it would have crushed us. Now that is a lawsuit waiting to happen. LOL The following day I called the wedding venue (Flynns) who with the wedding planners kindly had me picked up and returned after the reception. They were surprised at FIBH. This is a problem with the owners and management. Some of the staff wanted to be helpful but were clear they would be fired. It is also a problem with character because there were some staff who just flat out decided it was not their problem. Know that management doesn't give a hoot if guests have these problems. It is sad I missed day1 of the festivities. After the first day, I managed to make arrangements to get places like to the wedding and then back to the dock to go home. It was surprising people turn their back on someone who needed assistance. Is this the new normal? FIBH needs to advertise they are not friendly to those with mobility issues. If someone is having a wedding with guests with mobility issues, they should know they will not be assisted but he hotel-kinda crazy for $500/night although they told me that was very cheap for them-usually it is $1000/night. It created unnecessary stress and was humiliating. FIBH-Just be clear- state on the website that those with mobility issues are not welcome and won't be accommodated. Or FIBH-go figure something else out like a little chain to go across the passenger side of the cart or a paper you could sign relieving FIBH of responsibility. Of course, then they might get sued under the ADA. Or just be human, not assaholic. I was glad I finally got to attend the lovely reception/wedding and many thanks to those who were sympathetic/helpful

Overpriced. No coffee machine nor fridge. Charged extra $50 for pool we never used. But outside there are bikes that you have to pay to use. When asked how to get there, hotel staff didn’t even know the closest pier. We ended up having to walk more than necessary with our luggages.

I probably would have had a better stay at a cheap motel. Worst hotel stay in my life and incredibly overpriced
