Sailors Haven Cottage is a single-bedroom, single-bathroom coastal rental tucked away in Fire Island National Seashore near the Sunken Forest maritime holly preserve. Located a short walk from the Atlantic Ocean beach, Great South Bay, and the historic town of Cherry Grove, the cottage sleeps 2 to 4 guests with one queen bed and a sofa bed. On-site amenities include a fully equipped kitchen, pillows, light blankets, fans, and an outdoor deck equipped with a grill and outdoor shower. Guests must bring their own bed sheets and towels.
Getting there: Accessing the Sailors Haven Cottage is easy, but careful preparation will help your trip run smoothly. Visitors can catch a Ferry from Sayville on Long Island over to Sailors Haven. Once at Sailors Haven, follow the main walk South toward the public bathroom facility. Just after the bathroom head east on the concrete trail that bisects the main walkway. Follow that walkway until you reach another boardwalk trail on the right. Follow the second boardwalk trail around the corner until you come upon the fenced in house on the right side of the trail. Ferry access is also available from the opposite direction at Cherry Grove. Sayville Ferry Terminal is located at 41 River Rd in Sayville, New York, 11782.
