This place is awesome! Conveniently located to a bunch of great beaches, Southampton town and Hampton Bays town. The grounds of the property are perfect for lawn games, and the many decks are ideal for cocktail hour for the sunset! The house was clean and overall the trip was great. Communication with the host was also seamless.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in this house. This is more than 100 years old historical house and we understood that the atmosphere is quite different from staying in modern hotels or newly developed houses. First of all, there is no air conditioner in the house. It was a hot day when we arrived and the house was 92 F. It took several hours to feel comfortable in staying inside of house. The following days were cooler and we did not have such problem. The second thing is a room door knob. We were locked in the master bed room on the first floor and we needed to ask someone to open the door from the outside. It was as if the house was scaring us. Otherwise, it was enjoyable experience. Starry sky was incredible and we enjoyed watching deers passing by the yard. We appreciated the owner spent a lot of time to maintain this old house.

Tutto bene, struttura vecchia ma accogliente e spaziosa

I rented this house for out of town family to stay in during our wedding weekend. We had so much fun exploring the property, and fire pit was a big hit. The grounds and views are beautiful. It is (as advertised) an old house, but if you like charm and character like we do, you will absolutely love this place. Thank you to the Freemans for providing our guests with your home for the weekend!

Large, historic home, but in need of some significant updating and upkeep. Unfortunately in this old beauty, which is heavily wooded, we had to deal with subpar a/c & water pressure, insects, dust and animal smells. This could be a true gem in Southampton, but it needs some work.

Very beautiful home and convenient to attractions and shopping.

This Southampton vacation rental lived up to its billing and description, and was spacious enough for our family (retired couple, two adult children, son-in-law, and young grandson), family friends, as well as assorted visitors who came for a meal or a night or two. Wonderful spaces to entertain in (two verandas, patio, large lawn) as well as quiet places too, so we were definitely able to spread out, as well as to move about the house depending on whether we wanted sunshine or shade. We didn’t realize we’d booked a historic, architect-designed house (more than 100 years old!) or that some of the owners were artists, so that added to its quirky charm. Great location in The Hamptons (near both Hampton Bays and Southampton), close to beaches, and situated before the traffic gets really congested. There are plenty of interesting things to do in the area (art galleries, wineries to name a couple), but we also enjoyed just hanging out at the house, cooking, and sharing meals together. We spent a pleasant week here, the only downsides being the lack of a working washer and dryer and leaks in a bedroom during downpours (but fortunately, the leaks weren’t over the bed). We are West Coast folks and this was our first visit to Long Island, but if we came back to The Hamptons, we’d want to stay here again.

If you want to experience the Hamptons circa early 20th century with modern conveniences and you have a large family, this is the house for you. If you are interested in character and history, this is the house for you. It sits high on a hill at the end of a long driveway in a very private, quite and peaceful location overlooking Shinnecock Bay yet it is very convenient to Hampton Bays or Southampton as well as to several beaches and other areas of interest. Parking for multiple cars is more than adequate. All the rooms (there are a lot) are large and you can always find a quite spot in a house full of people. The house is reasonably priced for the Hamptons. All in all, my large family spent 2 wonderful weeks in this house and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for tradition and not glitz.

Our family loved spending a week at this huge historic house. The house had lots of interesting architectural features, lovely outdoor spaces, and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows. The house was very clean with modern bathrooms and kitchen appliances. The description provided in the listing is right on. We loved spending time on the balconies enjoying the bay view and bird watching. It was very relaxing and was only a short drive to Southampton and Hampton Bay beaches. Good access to cycling routes. The owners were genuinely nice and very helpful. I would definitely recommend it for a family vacation or romantic getaway.
