The views from this property are spectacular and the proximity to Smith Point Beach Park can not be beat. The property itself reminded me of a cross between glamping and sleep away summer camp. The house was clean and well appointed with anything you could need but not "fancy/luxurious". Perfect location for a family/multiple families with kids or a dog. My very well-behaved small-ish dog was welcome. The homes had dog bowls and a dog bed. The owner was also especially responsive and kind when a slight mix-up of my dates resulting in us showing up a day too early. A very unique property not to be missed! Couple things to note - The yard is not fenced so you can not let a pet run free, especially if you have a dog that likes to chase cats and deer (like mine) as you will frequently see squirrels, deer and neighborhood kitties. Also, in the summer/warmer months pack the bug spray. While there is neighborhood spraying of citronella, given the proximity to the water, there is pooling on some of the pathways that makes mosquitoes very prevalent and hungry!

This home has amazing views, is beautifully decorated, has a well stocked kitchen, great outdoor space, and is a very relaxing place to spend time with family. We enjoyed nights around the fire. Dinner on the deck. Coffee on the lookout. Paddling on the bay. Paddle 3/4 of a mile across the water and you can access a nearly private section of Smith Point beach with no one in sight for miles. Teens enjoyed the energy of the crowds at the main beach only a few miles drive away. Frank was an excellent host. Very responsive and extremely easy to coordinate with. Pictures of of the home online are great. In person, even better. If you are not familiar with Long Island, do some homework on the surrounding area. If shopping and restaurants are your thing, be prepared to drive.

Frank's house was extremely comfortable. The views are great and the house feels new and clean. My wife, 2 year old daughter and I traveled with another family and the living space had plenty of room for us to hang out and for the kids to play. Most importantly, Frank was very accessible and answered any questions that I had immediately at any time. Thanks!
