Belvedere

Men-only guesthouse with clothing-optional pool on Fire Island

About

The Belvedere's white towers catch your eye as the ferry approaches Cherry Grove. This men-only guesthouse offers clothing-optional pool and sundecks, plus a roof deck and patio. Reviews note friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere for men seeking male company. The place feels unique and majestic, per one guest.

The pool area is the main social hub, but the jacuzzi has drawn complaints about heavy chlorine and cleanliness. Rooms are comfortable, and the vibe is relaxed. It's a short walk to the beach and nearby spots like the Grove Hotel . Plan your trip in summer for the best weather.

“I will return to the Belvedere!”

I stayed there from August 15 to 17. I had an amazing time! The staff was really friendly. The place is unique and grand. I was able to unwind, meditate, and truly take a much-needed break. I will come back to the Belvedere.

“Not so great”

I posted a photo of the hot tub; it was essentially a tub of bleach and chlorine. It burned my skin and was still dirty. Otherwise, it was an okay place, but I can't overlook the jacuzzi issue for what I paid.

“I can't give away all the secret”

The Belvedere Guest House is really designed for men who enjoy the company of other men. Once you're there, you get lost in all the activities: the pool, rooftop deck, patio, and very friendly guests. You have to visit, and I'm already planning my next trip.

“Nice..Great people”

I stayed here at the B over Labor Day weekend. The place needs some repairs and cleaning. The staff are very nice. I heard they plan to improve the place for next year. We'll see.
