A Tiny Fire Island Fixer-Upper, On-a-Budget Edition

Photography by Kate Sears

Take a look at this NYC-based couple's redone A-frame on the western end of Fire Island, now the ultimate no-fuss seaside retreat:

Though not winterized, the place—about 410 square feet, including the sleeping loft—is livable from March to November.

A vintage Byer cot as seating.

Votives at the ready.

The living room opens to a galley kitchen with a honed Carrara marble counter and a stainless sink.

The petite kitchen.

To extend sight lines, the existing front door was replaced with a glass design.

An Aalto stool serves as a bedside table in the sleeping loft.

The house’s outdoor space includes a newly shored-up outdoor shower.
