Property beautifully situated on dead end of quiet street right on bay, surrounded by marshes. The balcony was heaven to spend morning hours drinking coffee and evening hours watching the sunset, as well as wild life. Host was kind and great with communication
The house and surroundings are beautiful and quiet. Six of our family stayed there and enjoyed how relaxing and restorative it was. The kitchen is quite large with tables for eating inside & outside. The deck has a wonderful view of the bay which is adjacent to the property. Itâs a short drive to a very nice beach & family owned farmersâ market. We will definitely return when possible!
The house is not in the water how they are showing in the pictures itâs a road in the middle and also was no sand on the beach side also so many bushes need to be removed between road and bushes barely you canât see anything you have to go on second floor of the house to see the ocean it wasnât worth it to pay all that money
Anita graciously accommodated a last minute booking due to an issue with another property I rented, and I could not be more grateful. Her property was absolutely phenomenal. The location, the house, the views, the serenityâŠ.all perfect. My partner and his best friend had the best time ever, and itâs all thanks to Anitaâs magical property!
We loved the location and the decks. We enjoyed the sunrise, sunset and moon rise on the same day and multiple days. Kayaking was easy and enjoyable from the bay. Upper floor was great as was the well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the charcoal grill and the back deck for dinners. First floor was a little musty but ok. Weather was perfect so we had windows open during the entire stay. Larger bed and door would have been good for the third bedroom but it worked for us.
The owner was gracious and the home was well laid out and organized with everything you'd want for a relaxing weekend of sun and sea breeze. It was extremely private and we thoroughly enjoyed the water access as well as the sea breeze and sun on the wrap around deck. Great place!! Loved it.
This was a nice property for our family gathering, all of us coming in from different parts of the north east. We enjoyed meals on the back deck and enjoyed sunsets from the top deck. Kitchen had all the amenities we needed and the grill on the deck worked great. Anita met me at check in and walked through the property. The private beach across the street was nice. The bugs were annoying so bring your bug spray (also supplied by Anita). Loved the privacy at the end of the street. Listing and pictures are accurate and we enjoyed our time!!
This was a great place for our visit. We were there, not to vacation, but visit a sick family member, so unfortunately, we didn't get to take much advantage of the bbq, kayaks, etc. We did get to take a quick swim in the bay and it was lovely and had a couple walks along the beach.
It is definitely an older home, in a very humid area, so some of the doors are hard to open or close, but that is to be expected. Anita was there to meet us and explain where things were and was so open to taking any questions during our stay. Plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, etc.; the fridge was spotlessly clean; dishwasher is old, but works. A/C in each room, not only kept the place cool, but let everyone keep their room to their liking. Pillows were the best I've ever slept on and the beds were very comfortable. We loved the upstairs porch and never saw so many dragonflies in my life. Also had deer in the yard one morning. Just a sweet, comfortable, traditional beach house. I'd stay again and longer if I could.
Could not recommend this place more! An absolutely gorgeous location and the perfect get away from the city. Anita is an incredible host and her property is one of my favorite places I've ever stayed. Don't hesitate to book!
Great location right on the water with amazing views. Quiet but easily accessible to surrounding fun. House was great. Slight sulfur taste to water but I brushed my teeth with it no problem. Also showering was fine. I didnât detect any smell of the house. It was fun.
We had a wonderful time at this magical place. The seaside air is amazing and the views of sea, sky, and wetlands are extraordinary. The house is cozy and well-stocked with comfortable bedding, ample kitchen utensils, and various toys for floating or paddling in the Great South Bay. We especially loved the upstairs living/sleeping area. It is full sunlight and fresh air, affords panoramic views, and provides a deeply relaxing atmosphere for a good nightâs sleep. We watched the sun rise and set from the wraparound deck on this level, while listening to the gentle waves of the bay lapping at the beach. If you can pull yourself away from all this, the village of Bellport is charming, and there is a terrific fish market in Mastic.
Anita is a wonderful and responsive host and this private oasis is a great place to unwind and recharge. It really embodies the Scandinavian concept of âhyggeâ. We didnât want to leave and canât wait to return!
This is a tough review to write. I wish I could give it 5 stars with so much to love: the fabulous location and house design -- a wrap-around deck on the waterfront where you can watch the sun and moon rise and set...a peaceful sanctuary is just what we were looking for. The house is clean, full of cool art and relics, and stocked with pretty much everything you need, except ice and water. We noticed that others here recommended bringing in your own water, and glad we did, as the well has a bad smell. But it wasn't really a problem. Anita, the host, is very responsive and cordial. The local neighbors were friendly and helpful. We even heard the local wild peacock the first night we arrived!
The big issue with this home is the air quality. It is an old house by the sea, so I guess it's not a surprise that it has a musty smell. I thought we could get used to it, but several members of our family have asthma, so it became a real problem by Day 2. My husband didn't mind it, so, if you aren't sensitive to mold or have lung issues, then it probably won't bother you. We had to spend a lot of time on the deck, but that wasn't a problem since they have a bunch of really comfy chairs to lounge on. (We did notice the upper deck wobbles when you walk on it and that made me a bit nervous) The house is definitely in need of some TLC in terms of maintenance, but it is one of the coolest homes I have spent time in. Would be great for a group of friends or couples. I imagine the owners had a lot of fun in this home over the years -- I heard stories of a beach club and neighborhood clam bakes that harkens back to its glory days. The marshes and bay waters are beautiful and endless, though there's not much of a beach -- it feels more like a lake. The yard is nice and the kids played in the grass. We went to Fire Island to the beach to swim about 20 mins away. It was nice there and they have a bar/restaurant on the beach.
All in all: a home with great bones, a great location but not great air quality, even with all the windows open on a cool, beautiful day. If you don't mind that, then you will love this unique home and nature sanctuary.
The views are wonderful! Home is stocked with all you could need to enjoy your stay. But the home is full of mold and the odor is unpleasant. And I am being nice. The water must be well water and needs attention because it smells like rotten eggs. And the showers have no water pressure at all. The home is damp and the A/C units in the windows make the home damper. The driveway and parking was an issue.
I never leave bad reviews but for the amount of money I payed this home is not worth it. It was not comfortable and I am totally bummed out. And I am sorry to feel this way.
This was our second visit to this wonderful property! The house is comfortable and has everything needed for a relaxing stay. The wrap-around upper balcony is a favorite and a a great place to take in the amazing scenery! Anita is awesome and quick to respond! Highly recommend!
Our little getaway was magical courtesy of owner Anita who checked us in with her sweetheart pooch. My husband and our 13 yr old lab, Eva, enjoyed breathtaking sunrise to sunset views of the bay and fire island. Wonderful seafood from nearby Mastic. There was no reason to leave the house. We had friends in one night and rushed back from others in East Hampton to relax and enjoy our piece of heaven as the sun went down. We canât wait to go back!
What a great vacation we had here! The place was comfortable and well-appointed, comfortable beds, and the upstairs room commands views of the bay and nature preserve that are simply spectacular! Sitting out on the backyard deck for breakfast, and on the upper deck in the evening was simply delightful! Easy access to some great restaurants in Bellport. And the host is so responsive! Highly recommend!
This was an amazing place to stay.You are at a very private retreat, right on the water.You can wake up to the sun rising and hear the Ocean lapping on the beach.We were attending a family wedding in Blue Point.The home is well appointed and it was a joy to stay there.The view and solitude was amazing plus you are close to Patchogue for shopping and eating out!The Cuban restaurant was amazing!!The owner was great and you will not be disappointed đ
My husband snd I absolutely loved this wonderful house. It is quaint and private and so peaceful. There is every anyone would need to cook anything! The upstairs bed was so comfortable and the decks are perfectly situated for the best views of the water and the marshes. Bellport is a delightful town as well.
This was the cutest little home in Brookhaven; the views were beyond comprehension. It was a short distance to downtown area and grocery. Anita was very responsive and sent reminders for trash/clean up at departure. I would recommend you bring your own wash cloths; I wash my face every night and had to do it with my hands.
