Awesome experience

Being in one of our favorite places and being on a house boat made this trip so memorable. Tim and Jen were great hosts and very accommodating. I highly recommend if you want to live the sea life. Hope to be back soon!

Perfect stay. perfect location

We had an amazing time on Tim and Jen’s boat. Located in peaceful sailors haven, we were able to enjoy some tranquil evenings and morning while still being a quick walk or water taxi to the other fire island beaches. Tim and Jen were the most gracious hosts. They provided us with everything we could’ve needed and more! Showed us all the ins and outs of staying on a boat. It was such a cool experience. Looking forward to booking with them again!
