| No need to decide whether you want an ocean or bay view; at this wonderful home, you have both. Everything was perfect ... the view, the layout and furnishings of the house, all the equipment, distance to Ocean Beach ... even the weather. We're coming back. |

| My mother and I rented this house for 2 weeks in September and had a fantastic and restorative vacation. The setting is truly spectacular. We fell asleep each night to the sound of waves and woke up each morning to the brilliant sunshine from the porch. The house is very well designed, modern yet comfortable. The owner has thought of everything, including a fully equipped kitchen, bikes and boogy boards! It was the perfect house to host family and friends from the city on the weekends. Everyone had a bang-up time! This property comes highly recommended. |

| A relocated East Coaster, my favorite summers have always been on Fire Island. Having rented houses for everything from one-week stays to summer-long respites, we have experienced Fire Island at its best -- and this was at its best. It takes a lot for a now comfortable Californian to move from a perfect climate and idyllic beaches to the East Coast but with great and lifelong friends still on the East Coast, we look for opportunities to bring our families together and leave life behind for a week or so. When we gave our teenage girls the choice of the Mayan Riviera or Fire Island for our vacation, the decision was unanimous -- Fire Island. And there was no better place than the Frankel house. Perfect views; safe for kids of all ages; no crowds; gorgeous sunsets and sunrises; plenty of places to hide for an hour or two; comfortable without pretense....Just thinking about it makes us want to go right back... |

Great house. The view from the deck is phenomenal - our days revolved around getting dinner ready 15 minutes before sunset - and they were all spectacular. The house is a full 15 minute walk from the ferry, but this means the beach (50 feet from the house) is practically deserted. The outdoor shower is sublime - and the whole experience truly, truly, relaxing. We had a great time.

| Thank you for the wonderful house by the ocean. The views were spectacular - we saw deer every night and had several amazing sunsets. Being so close to the ocean was great with our small children - easy to go home for naps and head right back out to the beach afterwards. The kitchen was very nicely equipped. All in all we had a truly wonderful, relaxing time and hope to be back soon. |

Dear Ellen, We had a great time at your house.
Actually, a great time isn't really the right way to
describe it. It was idyllic. It was exactly the kind of
experience I always imagined for the kids--the
freedom to run around and explore without visible
parental interference. They made sand castles; they
had water fights; they collected shells; they painted
shells; they rode back and forth to the bay. They
exhausted themselves in the surf. It was beyond my
greatest expectations. How often in life does that
happen? Unfortunately, I'm already back into the
very busy fall schedule and Robbins Rest is just a
beautiful memory. Really, thanks for sharing that
incredible place with us. Marie, NYC

Dear Ellen,
Just wanted you to know how much your home
means to us. I miss it now, the sounds of the
ocean, the birds and the silence, and the view from
the deck is simply the best. All these elements
create the most perfect setting for our family to
share precious time together...memories made
forever. Thanks, and keep us on reserve for the
same time next year. Take care, and my very best
regards,
Matos family |

| This house is amazing. It's peaceful and calm and very relaxing. The views are breath-taking and the best part is the beach is your backyard. Even when the weather isn't great there's plenty to do; relaxing, playing board games, and listening to music. There was never a dull moment. We will definitely be back!! |

| The truly unique location of this house makes for a very peaceful and relaxing vacation. We didn't turn the CD player or TV on, just enjoyed listening to the surf from every room in the house. What a welcome change from the city! thanks for sharing this special place with us. |
