It was a good house

Big enough for our family, the house was perfect for us and we particularly enjoyed the terrace with the view. Although we were unlucky with the weather, we enjoyed watching storm Isaias and we will remember the experience as a good one. Downside we lost power for several days so we decided to shorten our stay by 1 night. Eoin contacted the power company several times to give us an update and refunded us the last night regardless if we were leaving or not. His assistance and kindness was very much appreciated.

This gem was exactly what we needed! Very private but close to everything we wanted (beach, jet ski rental, mastic seafood market) The house sits beautifully in 360 tall grass w and amazing view of the bay. Lovely waking up and enjoying the large deck overlooking the water. It has a big space but the rooms feel very cozy. And most importantly the kitchen was great for a house of 8 w a large enough table for us all. We will absolutely be back!

Great space for a larger group - enough beds for comfort and privacy. Lovely outdoor deck with plenty of seating and also a wonderful fenced in yard. Gorgeous sunsets from the deck, perfect for outdoor dining. Minimal furnishings (not luxe!) but perfectly adequate for a quiet and relaxing getaway. Beach nearby was closed due to Covid (check in advance!) but we opted to take a ferry to Fire Island for the day which was ~30 min drive away. Would stay again for a quiet weekend outside of the city.

Our group had a great time! Thanks!

If you’re like me, an unfussy house with soul is an attractive prospect. This well-designed, weather-loved wooden getaway is perfect if you want to enjoy a long sunset with a glass of wine while the little people run free in the yard. The management is courteous and responsive and the amenities just as described in the listing. We brought board games to play at night and food to cook on the large gas grill. Though the beach is nearby and easy to reach, we really could just as well have spent the day relaxing on the porches, which were built to accommodate friends and family. We hosted dinner for ten outside without a problem. We slept eight in comfort and we all said we’d be glad to come back and stay again. If I could include a picture I took of my sister - whose birthday we were celebrating - I would because she looks and was so happy. Thank you, Eoin, for a wonderful weekend.

We had a very nice stay at this property on a two night weekend. The view from the deck is fantastic and we enjoyed clear bay and moon views, including from the bedrooms. The house was clean and had a generous number of towels and linens. The owner was very responsive and available by phone and email. There were also cooking utensils so that we could prepare breakfast etc. Although the furniture is sparse (not full of furniture or decorations), it had everything we needed, i.e. beds, seating, tables, storage, and ultimately made it easy to pack our things and tidy up on departure. Although the town of the property does not have too many dining or entertainment options, the owners have an in depth guide of nearby beaches, towns, and where to get items like groceries etc, and we ended up having very quick access to multiple nice beaches. Likewise, it is not a 'luxury' destination, although the water views and deck definitely make it stand out and outshine the other factors. In the end, our whole group agreed - it's a great value (distance from city, water views, responsiveness, and good layout of house). Recommended.

We stayed for a week during the holidays. The price way over the value of the place that was in disrepair. The location was near the water, and you were awakened in the morning by gun fire of duck hunters. It was remote and felt a bit unsafe. The kitchen housewares and table/chairs were in poor condition and not clean. The hot water came and went in the upstairs shower with towel/toilet paper holders falling off walls, door to linen broken, towels raggedy. Master bedroom had ONLY a bed, no chair, no chest of drawers. We laid our cloths on the bed of the 2nd bedroom which had a chest of drawer that was falling apart. There was wiring obviously not up to code coming from walls which was extra worrisome because we had 3 smoke detectors that started buzzing and had to disconnect them. The draperies were falling down and unclean along with the sofas. On a positive note, the owner was responsive to our problems with the smoke detectors and when we booked, and quickly refunded our deposit. I do not recommend this place.

Our stay was very quiet , private , and relaxing . The owners were very helpful and friendly .The house was as described . Everything worked very well. If you are thinking of renting this dont hesitate .

We couldn't have asked for a better setting for a quiet weekend away from the city with friends. The house was spacious and welcoming, with an enclosed yard for the kids to play in and a long deck with great views of the water. (The deck was especially pleasant in the fall without mosquitoes.) The beach on Fire Island is close enough for a quick trip by car for beach-combing but far enough away that you can enjoy some peace and quiet. The kayaks at the house also provided some beautiful views of the coastline and local wildlife. The owners were very welcoming and provided a wealth of information on the area. They were also quick to respond to our questions by email or phone. The house was well-prepared before our arrival, with firewood at the ready for the fireplace. We would also particularly recommend Mastic Seafood for seafood to cook or grill out on the deck. The only caveat I would add is that we hope the house weathered Sandy, the hurricane that hit NY and NJ a few days later, without significant damage. All off us, the couples and families that enjoyed the house (9 people in all), hope to return one day, and our thoughts go out to all of those in the area. We hope that families will be able this enjoy this great house for many seasons to come.

We booked 10 days here as an Autumn vacation, and on arrival found a lovely house. The house is spacious, clean and pleasant throughout, with a large wraparound deck (which unfortunately we didn't get to use as much as we hoped due to the weather). Inside the house is airy, and has a really nice fireplace, which was appreciated on some colder nights when we first arrived. The location is excellent, with stunning views out to Fire Island and the Atlantic. The location is excellent for appreciating what Long Island has to offer. We were within easy driving distance of the East End and North Fork, as well as 1hr 40 min from NYC on the train from the local station (although we generally drove approx 20-40mins to a station further along the line due to more regular service). Overall we had an excellent stay, and would definitely consider the location again if we return to Long Island.
