The Madison Fire Island Pines is the most acclaimed guest house in this internationally-famous gay community. Travel & Leisure recommends it as the best place to stay in the Pines. There’s a grand deck, a huge pool, modern, light-filled rooms (all with private baths), and a roof deck with panoramic views. The location is terrific: it's just a minute's walk to the beach and the harbor. The atmosphere is laid-back and friendly, and the house itself is spectacular. Stay for a week or a weekend. The space Dexter Room B is on the second floor of the main house, with high ceilings, private bath, AC and sunlight splashing in from oversized glass doors leading onto the upper deck.
