I had a girls weekend here to enjoy the vineyards. We enjoys sitting on the deck, walking down to the beach. It isn’t a private entrance to the beach, but a small walk down a lot of steps. The cottage was really cute and fully stocked with anything you need, plates, cups, wine openers, etc. coffee maker. It was very clean, great AC.

Really clean with nice amenities for cooking, new appliances and refrigerator, and great grilling set up. Large porch provided great gathering spot, w lounging and eating options. While houses are very close together in this working class hamlet (not the Ivy League bastion of the Hamptons for sure!), it felt private while communal. Beach had a few parties and volleyball games going on off to right side, but quiet and more family friendly to left. So a little bit for everyone. Great farmers markets nearby (my wife recommends Briermere Farms, don’t miss the pies too!), and vineyards if that is your angle. It’s a small house, but worked v well for our family of six. Alan was a super star as host/owner, and welcome packets galore. He made it easy.

My wife and I had a fabulous time at the East End Retreat. The location couldn't have be any better. Very close to a private beach in a neighborhood that was extremely quiet. Two of our adult children joined us for half the time and we had one of the best vacations we ever had. The house was perfect!! It was well equipped with everything we needed. Alan also provided plenty of information about local restaurants, wineries, breweries, etc. for us to explore in which we did. I would highly recommend renting this property for anyone who is looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway. Thank you Alan!!!!

We had a delightful stay at East End Retreat. We were over from the UK to visit family in the city and decided to spend several days in the Hamptons relaxing. East End Retreat's setting is spectacular, with a large deck giving views across the sound to Connecticut. The amenities are great, rooms clean and comfortable and all with aircon, a definite requirement for our stay. This is not a 'party' house by any means, the community is secluded and quiet, ideal for getting away from it all and relaxing. Riverhead is not far away, and there are several farm stands and a couple of supermarkets nearby, and a superb butcher. in Wading River. It's just a short trip to the beach down two flights of steps, perfect for an evening stroll to the beach to watch the fireflies. Our stay was not without incident - a tree took out the power line to the community, and the broadband with it. Both were restored within hours however, and Alan was superb in assisting us and keeping us updated on the situation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend East End Retreat.

We very much enjoyed our visit. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable during the stay. Alan was GREAT with communicating with me before & during our stay. Would definitely recommend to a friend. Thanks again for allowing this Texas Family to enjoy your beautiful home :)

The house was very nice - smaller than it appears in the listing, would be great for parents with children. The neighboring houses are very, very close. Access to the beach was great.

It was wonderful to be tucked back away from all of the busy-ness and traffic; the neighborhood was quiet but not stuffy at all. Close to all of the wineries, delicious restaurants and farmstands. The house is small, but somehow it never felt crowded, just cozy. Loved the sunsets from the deck! Thanks Alan, we had a fantastic time.

We had a wonderful time staying at East End Retreat. We had 5 adults and a toddler staying at the house. We spent the majority of our time on the beautiful deck and took full advantage of the outdoor kitchen. The house is well stocked with anything you could possibly need for cooking and lounging on the beach. The outdoor shower was a huge hit with our family. We would definitely come back again!

My girlfriends and I all stayed at the East End Retreat in Baiting Hollow recently. We were a group of 8 meeting for a friend reunion and luckily we found this perfect house. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a spot in the area. Alan, the owner, was so responsive throughout our entire booking process. He made everything so easy. Alan provided a complete packet of information including local beaches, restaurants, wineries, farm stands, fun day trip activities, and more. He also answered any questions I had about the house and was so pleasant to correspond with. I would trust him entirely with any rental home and booking proccess! Now to the home….the home is incredible. It is the perfect beach house destination. The house is nice and clean. It also has everything you need for cooking (fully equipped kitchen--don't need to bring anything except your food!) The beds all had sheets, comforters, and towels for each person too. The house really has everything from beach supplies, grilling supplies, cooking supplies, and linens. All of us were so impressed with the home. The view from the deck is just gorgeous, and there is easy access to the local beach. We went to two vineyards just down the road, and out to dinner in Riverhead. Everything about our stay was so easy…which made the time more relaxing for us. We had such a wonderful stay here. I would recommend it for a group of friends, a family, or a couple get away. Really, anyone!

My girlfriends and I took a long weekend trip to Northfork to visit some of the local wineries and enjoy the beach. This house was in a perfect location - quiet, private community near the vineyards and farm stands, and nearly right on the water. The homeowner Alan was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend this house to others!

We had a wonderful stay despite the unusually cold and stormy weather. Alan was a great host and very available via text or call. Very cozy home.

I rented the house for a small bachelorette party. Nothing wild and crazy which works with this house because it's in a small community and the houses are very close together. The owner was very informative and the minute we thought we had a problem with the fridge (it was fine... we just filled it with way too much food at first I'm guessing) he was quick to respond and help.. Even offered to refund for ice if we needed until it was fixed! Perfect deck to stargaze and a nice beach a minute off the back steps. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was clearly renovated and clean. We highly recommend this home for couples, families or a girls getaway!

There was an abundance of information provided for the rental and the property and prospective renters should not be put off by the amount of documentation to read or rules to follow. The cottage is very well maintained and stocked with just about everything you could need. The deck is wonderful with great views and access to the beach a huge bonus. We had a party of 7 adults and a toddler and while the cottage itself is small, we never felt cramped at all. I would certainly recommend this place for a small group looking for a really chilled out weekend or week.

This house is beautifully located, appealing, tastefully decorated, well equipped, nicely maintained and very comfortable. My family enjoyed a long awaited reunion there, swimming 3 times each day and taking advantage of the nearby great food and wine. The view of the shoreline cliff from the out in water is beyond beautiful. The owner/management was responsive and accommodating, not letting any questions linger unanswered for very long. In short, everything was as advertised. We would definitely return.

I stayed at this house with 7 of my best friends for a summer weekend away from the city. The property and view are gorgeous. The inside of the house is amazingly decorated and really gives that beach house vibe. Their are a ton of air conditioners and it was always very easy to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the house - even in the upstairs loft area. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the mornings and evenings and the quick walk down to the beach during the day. Even with the 8 of us, we never felt cramped or too on top of each other. The outdoor shower was a big help during the getting ready to go out rushes. Alan was very easy to get in touch with and super responsive when we had any questions. His very thorough directions were very helpful! We drove out to the house but didn't want to drive to the wineries/restaurants once we got there and never had a problem getting an Uber or a local car service to pick us up/drop us off. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone!

We had stayed in this beach house for a week. The house is so comfortable, clean and well equipped. The view from the house and its deck is so beautiful. The outside shower is great! We spent a lot of time on the close beach which is quiet and clean. There are many wineries and farms in vicinity. We will definitely come back.

Terrific views of Long Island Sound from large deck equipped with tables, lounge chairs, and comfy hammock. Walk down the stairs to the beach. Super quiet mini-community. House is clean and has the needed modern conveniences.

Super cute and cozy with a great view of the water. There is a super easy access to the beach, a grill and a lovely outdoor shower. It is super close to tons of wineries and farmers markets. I will be visiting again for sure :)

This house was a dream- a stone's throw to the beach with an amazing view. The house itself is very cute, clean and comfortable. It's a very short drive to all the local wineries and farm stands. If you live in a city and need to get away for a weekend, I would highly recommend this spot

The house has a great view of the water, with a nice big deck outside and an easy walk to the beach. The living areas of the house were comfortable, and although we didn’t cook much the kitchen was very well appointed and there is a BBQ on the deck that would have been great to use during a longer stay. The bedrooms are small but adequate, but the small bathroom had peeling wallpaper and tiny, paper thin towels. The uneven, sloping floors were strange and kept many doors from staying open/closed. Although nice, the home is in need of a little upgrading. The owner responded quickly, however my biggest complaint is with the booking itself. When I gave my requested days of Saturday-Tuesday, I was told I had to book Friday with Saturday. I agreed to this but when I tried to confirm we could then stay there Friday night also, I was told that he had promised the home to his family based on my dates not being flexible. I had only indicated we couldn't do dates later in the week that he had suggested. I said it would not be a problem to not stay Friday night, but expected we would have been refunded for that night. There is also a per person charge after the first two guests. One of our guests was only there one night, but we had to pay for all four nights for her in addition to paying for a night we couldn't stay. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the neighborhood is very quiet, the view is a huge plus and there were some great restaurants nearby.
