I am an Australian born designer that lives in NYC and has been renovating homes for the past several years. Our Flatiron loft in NYC was featured in Dwell Magazine, I designed the Upper West Side apartment for the founder & CEO of Soul Cycle, and my husband and I recently renovated our family's weekend beach house on the North Fork. I have a passion for turning houses into homes by bringing the clean, breezy and natural aesthetic, inspired by my homeland in Australia.

Your guide to Fire Island

All About Fire Island

In the 1920s, New York theater folks started hopping from the island of Manhattan to another long and narrow island about 60 miles east called Fire Island. Soon, other creatives followed — writers and artists, and eventually the celebrity crowd looking for a getaway from the big city in the form of a Fire Island vacation. Only a quarter of a mile wide, the island is filled with sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches on one side and the Great South Bay’s shores on the other.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Fire Island

Despite its proximity to Long Island, conditions can be quite different on Fire Island than on the mainland. Along with the sprawling sea views comes extreme weather, which can swing from more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit in August to below zero December through February. That said, summers tend to be warm and humid, with temperatures in the 60s to 80s. Springs can be cool and windy, ranging from the 30s to 60s, and falls and winters are cold with periods of rain, usually in the 30s to 50s. No matter what time of year, it’s a good idea to keep checking the forecast and always be ready with multiple layers. Also be aware that Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November.


Top things to do in Fire Island

Ocean Beach

The island’s largest hamlet channels a Greenwich Village vibe, with a family-friendly downtown area lined with restaurants, boutiques, and bars, plus a lifeguarded ocean beach and bayside marina.

Ocean Bay Park

Just east of Ocean Beach is the slightly more laidback community of Ocean Bay Park — just a half-mile long — popular with both singles and family crowds, despite the lack of lifeguards on duty.

Kismet

The annual clam shucking contest draws visitors to this hamlet on the far western point of the island near the Fire Island Lighthouse. As opposed to some exclusive communities, Kismet is known for welcoming all into its five blocks.

Fire Island Pines & Cherry Grove

Better known as simply the Pines and the Grove, these two villages were among the first places in the country where the LGBTQ community could be open about their identities; they remain a popular destination for the community. Boardwalks line both hamlets, connecting the beaches with restaurants and nightlife hotspots.
