Fire Island Beach Cottage

I've mentioned a few times that my dream is to one day have a beach house/weekend house that's within driving distance from my home in Brooklyn, NY. Fire Island requires a drive, followed by a ferry ride, so this definitely fits into my criteria. This house is perfect. The owner's decor is a mix of contemporary, such as West Elm, and vintage, such as hand-me-down furniture given to them by the prior owners. I could definitely imagine spending my whole summer in a house like this! (all images via Country Living)

    I love, love that outdoor chess set! =) That is a perfect home. Especially if it comes with the bikes, oh yeah, and someone to ride with.
