House was basic meeting all our needs. Views from deck and living room of Peconic perfect for bird watchers and nature lovers. Very relaxing. Homeowner assistance and advice throughout stay was great. Communications with and responsiveness of VRBO was almost non existent. Attempts to contact almost always resulted in no response requiring me to go through Homeowner for assistance. Community and winery areas great to visit.

We stayed about 5 days. The VRBO description does not do this home justice. If you’re looking for a place surrounded by nature but still close to restaurants , stores , etc. then this is the place ! The home had a decent size kitchen , living spaces and bedrooms, and to our surprise the downstairs den was basically another small studio. Very comfortable home for 5 adults.
Nothing better then starting and ending the day with the sound of nature and a nice cool breeze by the river.
Randy was a great host , giving a ton of recommendations to great spots. He very informative and great with communication.
Thank you Randy for your hospitality and sharing this beautiful home with us for our first trip to NY.

This is the second time staying at the property. It is centrally located and has wonderful wildlife views. The house is well equipped and the owner provides all the comforts of home to make your stay enjoyable. We will be going back again in the near future.

While this place is located along a busy road, in Riverhead, the back of the house saves it because you can observe gorgeous swans/ducks/herons/hawks, muskrats, turtles, and dense forest of the county park across Peconic River, all from your choice of inside or outside chairs. The inside is as beautiful as it looks.

This is our first experience with Vrbo. What a great experience! From location, cleanliness, efficiency, wonderful views, privacy, comfort, as well as communication and consideration with owners.
Thank you so much for a memorable 3 day stay for our newly married children. Close to the beautiful peaceful venue, the Peconic River Herb Farm. We Highly recommend this Vrbo!!
All the Best.

Fantastic River View
Clean & Comfortable home overlooking the Peconic River. Large window in the living room gave a great view of the river. Saw swans everyday, also saw several deer swimming across. Lots of wildlife to enjoy! Randy, the homeowner, was friendly and helpful. Great area to visit wineries, go antiquing, etc. Great restaurants nearby. We tried On the Docks (weather was nice enough to sit outside at the marina, Tweeds in downtown Riverhead for great steaks and the Hellenic diner on the way back to the ferry for breakfast. Long Island kayaks was a great find, though I think they just closed for the season.
Great area with lots to do. We very much enjoyed staying in this house!

Hidden Gem in the Heart of Everything
I really didn't want to write a review for our stay. Because I always want it to remain OUR stay ONLY! But ok ...From the moment we walked in the door I felt as if we stumbled upon a hidden gem. That we pulled in off a major road was immediately forgotten once we took our first step up to the front porch.We first passed through the very tidy & cozy kitchen which had just enough retro flare to warm me with nostalgia of my grandmom's pantry. As we advanced further we were greeted by a panoramic view of the river. If you would not be in awe of watching a family of swans glide by or can't manage to chuckle at a beaver and his partner in crime waddle across the dock then I can understand you not being impressed as much as we were. The terraced and beautifully planted back yard just generously opens to you as rose petals do. If we didn't step out to shop for necessities we would have been just fine. The house was so well appointed and stocked. What an amazing host! A quick note about the area: Great diversity of EVERYTHING YOU NEED & simply WANT! The house is nestled in the midst of eclectic and affordable eateries, all shopping (note under 5 min to the Outlets), a destination water park & aquarium w/in 5 min, some of the country's top wineries and ocean beaches within 20 min, and W Main is a straight drive into a vibrant riverfront commercial district that hosts weekly street fairs & free outdoor concerts. Oh.. and the sunrises and sunsets that stretch over North Fork farmlands.....What more can I say but MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELVES HERE (just please not when we want to return lol).
