Property Details

Overview

The House was professionally designed with the needs and safety of Autistic individuals in mind. A 6-foot-tall privacy fence encloses the deck and the gate has an interior punch code lock to deter elopement. For safety, breakable dishes and glasses have been replaced with plastic, sharp kitchen objects are in lockable storage, and ceramic knick-knacks have been swapped out for lightweight foam core art prints. With four bedrooms Spectrum House can easily sleep 8 so plenty of room if you travel with a carer. Best of all, the back room is a full-sized fully-equipped Sensory Gym with cuddle and platform swings, weighted blankets, foam barrels and more. Hi-speed internet will support any assistive communication devices that need it. As for the rest of the house, the skylit living room has two well-cushioned sofas and two well-cushioned chairs, and down the hall two bathrooms, both with showers, one with a tub, both with anti-slip adhesive stickers. On the deck are both a hammock chair and an egg chair, suitable for all, as well as an outdoor shower and laundry shed. The house is a block and a half from the ocean in one direction, steps from stores and restaurants in the other. Fire Island does not allow cars, providing yet another layer of safety. Spectrum House is Certified Autism Ready by Becoming rentABLE and the Autism Travel Club.
