LODGING RATES & POLICIES

THE COMMUNITY OF FIRE ISLAND PINES and The Pines Bluff Overlook is an exclusive private property where every guest's reservation is both important and special to us. We make every effort to provide a unique Fire Island Pines experience for each guest's interests. Our one prevailing overarching policy is that each guest respects the comfort, enjoyment, and privacy of other guests in the house. Similarly, we treat person's room as being their individual sanctity with total privacy.

BOOKING
We are open the first week of May to the end of October. Prime Season goes from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Otherwise, we have scaled pricing for a Shoulder Season and Off-Season. Holidays and Special Event weekends carry a premium (Holiday Rates). Prime Season requires a minimum of a 3-night stay.

We will make arrangements for you to get into your room even if we are not on the property at the moment you arrive, or if you arrive early. If for some reason the remaining 50% payment can not be made, the reservation will be subject to cancellation and policies of less than 30 days cancellation will apply.
