We had a very enjoyable 2 weeks! This charming water front house has a beautiful view, many spaces for indoor & outdoor gathering, and kind neighbors who make you feel welcome. Thank you! ♡♡♡

We loved the house, the neighborhood and the neighbors, who gave us excellent advice. The house is comfortable and well furnished. Everything works. The view is spectacular over looking a lovely cove. We used the kayaks daily, enjoying Osprey, Cormorants, Egrets, Swans... The location is great, near tons of wineries, nature preserves, Brauns Seafood, and all the lovely North Fork towns. Rick is accessible and helpful. We had a perfect stay.

House and its porch, deck, yard, and small private beach are right on the waterfront of a quiet, rustic cove teeming with wildlife. Numerous seabirds, ducks, geese, and swans paddle/fly near the house. A few rabbits visit the grounds at night. A deer walked through the yard one afternoon. Watched the waves, birds, and colorful reeds during the day and the stars (including a few shooting stars) at night. Cutchogue is in the heart of the North Fork and its farms, farmstands, and wineries. Only a short drive to other towns like Greenport, Orient, Mattituck, Southold, Shelter Island (ferry), Jamesport, and Riverhead. Also a convenient base from which to drive to and explore the Hamptons, whether driving to: (i) Riverhead and then south; or (ii) taking the shortcut through Shelter Island and its ferries. (North Fork isn’t as developed or crowded as the Hamptons, which can be a good thing.) In addition, the owner + neighbors are very friendly and helpful.

This waterfront cottage was perfect for our extended summer stay with occasional family visitors during these Covid times.The downstairs bedrooms are compact, and the upstairs queen bedroom/sitting room is a nice addition. The decor is contemporary, uncluttered, easy to live in, with ceiling fans (and outlets) throughout. The central AC works very well, even on the enclosed porch, where the dining and sitting areas look out onto a bay with ever changing views. And the view is nothing short of magical. The lovely little beach, steps from the stone patio, is perfect for launching kayaks, and a pair of binoculars makes bird (and boat) watching lots of fun. Evenings were perfect for stargazing as we lounged near the fire pit, where lovely old oak trees frame the waterfront. It’s very quiet, very private, with nice neighbors. The owners, Rick and Laura, were a pleasure to work with, and we would certainly rent this cottage again.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience in this house. It was everything we wanted it to be - fun, relaxing, rejuvenating. The house was immaculate and had all of the essentials. We enjoyed and got a lot of use out of the fire pit, kayaks, and hammock. In particular, we enjoyed kayaking out to the bay and paddling up onto the beautiful sandy beach nearby. Between the three season porch, deck, and patio there are lots of options for places to sit and enjoy the spectacular view. Pictures really don't do it justice - it is so beautiful and serene. The area is super quiet and peaceful but there were also lots of great restaurants and vineyards nearby.
