Beautiful property! Wonderful stay.
5.0 / 5.0
We had a an excellent weekend on Long Island thanks to Emmalie and this impressive property.
The space was perfect for hosting a large crowd of adults. The space felt very cozy and home-like, and the number of bathrooms was a huge positive. We really enjoyed the big outdoor fire pit, large dining room/screened in porch. The 2 refrigerators, range, and Weber grill made feeding everyone straightforward and real-estate for perishables was a non-issue. Great location close to south beach, which is where we spent most of our days. Just an overall great space.
Emmalie was very responsive and it was clear the amount of hard work they'd put into the space and amenities. I would definitely rent again.
My only suggestion would be adding a box fan to each guest room. It could of been our luck with the weather but the house and rooms got a bit hot and stuffy overnight. There were ceiling fans and some box fans and we were there during a serious heat wave - fairly unusual out on the island.
