We enjoyed our stay in Steuben. Ray was an excellent host and the house had everything we needed. The area is quiet and peaceful, giving us the opportunity to enjoy the sounds of the ocean and of an adjacent brook.

From start to finish, we had a wonderful stay. We were greeted by Ray and Jo upon arrival and answered any questions that we had. The house was perfect in every way with such attention to detail. It is in a wonderful location tucked away from it all, yet a 20-30 minute drive to anything you may need. It is a quiet street directly across from the ocean. There is a stream on the side of the house. We enjoyed looking for tons of sea glass on the beach and hiking the Hollingsworth Trail at the end of the road. Ray's book with activity and food recommendations was perfect, but his actual conversations were even better. We look forward to visiting again.

Absolutely stunning view. Hosts Jay and Jo were amazing and gave us suggestions for food and scenic adventures. Our stay was peaceful and adventurous with all the walking paths we were surrounded with. I even saw a white deer (rare find). We have stayed at many places over the years and this has been our favorite.
