Who we are

Skie & Ben

We’re Skie and Ben—a fun, welcoming, and vibrant couple who love making the most of our summers in Fire Island Pines! Skie is a Chief Operating Officer in the luxury travel and concierge industry, bringing a passion for hospitality and unforgettable experiences. Ben is an Executive Director for a nonprofit supporting arts education, with a deep love for creativity and connection.

Fire Island has been our summer escape ever since we met, with Skie enjoying the Pines even longer. Over the years, we’ve fallen in love with its unique energy, sense of community, and endless opportunities to entertain, relax, and meet incredible people.

This summer, we’re thrilled to call 94 Black Duck Walk home—one of our absolute favorite houses on the island. It’s the perfect spot for a mix of lively gatherings, laid-back afternoons, and everything in between. We’re looking for a few like-minded guys to join us in making this an unforgettable season.

If you’re fun, friendly, and ready to embrace all the magic the Pines has to offer, we’d love to hear from you!

Let’s make this summer at 94 Black Duck the best one yet. 🌊🍹🏳️‍🌈
