My wife and I visited Long Island for a couple weeks early July 2024 and had a wonderful stay at the Marings Beach House. The property is very private and well situated on Lochabar Bay with a small section of sandy beach area when the tide isn't high. Access to the beach is a short walk, about 100', from the back door and down several steps formed into the into the rocks. The folding beach chairs were very nice to have, as well as the kayaks (there are lifejackets as well). It was very hot during our stourin July making the AC a must and worked well. There is a small window unit in both bedrooms and a larger unit that cools the main area. The cupboards are well stocked with everything we needed for our 2 week stay. The Beach house taps are fed from a cistern under the house which is not drinkable but provides water for everything else. Drinking water is purchased from Erica's Bakery in 5 gallon cooler bottles which needs to be lifted and poured into smaller 4 litre jugs for dispensing. When we arrived, there were a couple 5 gallon bottles provided. It's about a 5 minute drive to Clarence Town and Erica's Bakery to get water, bread and a few supplies. Our stay at the Marings Beach house was wonderful. The view from the master bedroom, looking out to the bay when you wake up in the morning was just what we were looking for! Thanks so much for sharing your home with us and we look forward to returning.

The property was beautiful, beds were extremely comfortable and you just cannot beat the views. The walk to the beach was a bit unsteady for the older but managable

The views from the multiple decks, as well as the master bedroom, were the most beautiful we have ever seen! Having backyard access to swimming and kayaking was just awesome. The house was beautifully decorated making it feel like home. We cannot say enough about this location. It surpassed all of our expectations!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at Maring’s Beach House. The bay is exceptional! The colors of the water are extraordinary. We loved our time on the island and the location of this property in relation to the places we wanted to visit was great! We traveled the whole island in a rental car. We have stayed at Salt Pond previously, but would prefer the Lochabar Bay Area in the future. We will most certainly be bringing our family back here! Thank you for sharing your property, Sue!

Sue’s home is very comfortable with all the amenities you need and a beautiful view over the Bay. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the sunrise and the boating activity from the expansive deck. The Lochabar beach is a long quiet stretch of powdery white sand with great swimming, walking and snorkeling. We will be back!

Loved our stay. This place felt like a home. Superb view and sound of waves and wind were sooooo relaxing. Hosts were great and home was spotless!

The house was in a good location near the southern beaches.

First let me say that we love Long Island, this was our seventh stay on the island. We had a wonderful 2 weeks at this property. The house is private but not far from restaurants and stores. We particularly enjoyed the deck and the bay with abundant wildlife a few step off the deck. The house itself was clean and comfortable and outdoor shower invigorating. We would definitely stay there again!! Thank You Sue for sharing your home.
