Our family thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at Dorry and Steve’s place! Steve greeted us on arrival and showed us around. He gave us local recommendations and even brought over a clam knife when we mentioned that we had forgotten to bring one! We ate almost every meal outside on the deck taking in the gorgeous view! We rented kayaks and explored the bay and visited Smith Point beach - a short drive away. It was an ideal place for our family to relax and unwind.

We spent a week at the shore and the hosts provided everything we could need for our stay. Hosts greeted us on arrival and gave us the info needed about the house. Warm friendly people who made us feel welcome! The view of the water was superb and needless to say it was a most relaxing week. Highly recommended!

This waterfront cottage is even more stunning in person. The wall-to-wall glass doors provide an unobstructed view of the water, and every room is beautifully decorated, clean, modern, and well-equipped—it has everything we could possibly need. Watching the sunset from the deck was our favorite part of the trip. Steve and Dorry are incredibly friendly; they gave us a tour on our first day and were always available to make sure we had everything we needed. We had a wonderful time here.

Overall the kitchen was well stocked, including some spices. I wish we had thought to bring bottled water with us, plastic wrap and olive oil. But there was coffee and a few pantry items, nice cookware and a great grill on the back patio. The nearby neighborhood had grocery stores so it was easy to get the things we needed. The glass doors and patio and yard were all TOP notch!! Just couldn’t get enough of the peaceful view. Our host, Steve, was great! Very attentive to anything we needed, very pleasant and genuinely desirous of our having a memorable stay. Thank you SO much Steve and Dory!

Long weekend with the girls, great stay! We had a wonderful time and will return. Hosts Dorry and Steve are so wonderful and attentive. They met us at the property for a personal check-in, that is rare for vacation rentals. We felt at home immediately. Property is beyond clean and neat, beds very comfortable, kitchen well appointed. Location on the bay is perfect, deck and yard are great for relaxing and summer sun. Great location for traveling around LI.

Great family get away

House was perfect for our family of 5, Mom and Dad with 3 toddlers. House was safe for the kids and they loved playing on the lawn and at the beach. We took day trips to the aquarium, LI game farm, and Smithpoint Beach. The breeze off of the bay was refreshing. Sunsets were amazing. House is well appointed. Landlords are very nice people.

Beautiful and Convenient

This is a beautiful house with a gorgeous view of sound. Sunsets are spectacular. The location was central to exploring Long Island. In a wonderful three day visit we explored Islip to Montauk and fit in a round of golf. Steve and Dorry were very accommodating even to our unexpected late arrival due to traffic. We plan to return next year. Fall was the perfect time for a unforgettable visit.

Our family (ranging from 16 to 75) had an AMAZING stay at Steve and Dorry's home. We were greeted by them upon arrival and they set us up for a memorable stay. They were so accommodating and warm. The waterfront location is amazing. We spent many hours in the backyard: taking in the scenery, eating, lounging, stargazing. We took the 5 minute drive to Smith's Point Beach a # of times (18 per car in 2025) and enjoyed the waves, the ocean side tiki bar, ice cream and atmosphere. We also loved being able to run there, it took about 15 minutes! We have stayed in a # of rentals and rate this as A!!!

Great views from a beautiful beach house

This was our first VRBO rental and we really enjoyed it! Steve and Dorry were friendly, attentive hosts. The house was spotless and well equipped with basic essentials for our short stay. We felt completely at home and never wanted to leave the deck! Our stay would have been absolutely perfect if it hadn't rained both nights we were there. Nonetheless, I definitely recommend this beach house and hope to come back to enjoy the beautiful waterfront view again!

Sunset Cottage

We enjoyed beautiful sunsets. The backyard beach is very rocky, there is a public beach for swimming and playing in the sand about 5 minutes away. Our only complaint was we were constantly washing dishes or running the dishwasher. There was only dinnerware for 6 . Dory and Steve were very attentive.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 July 2021
We’re very happy you enjoyed your stay! The house is advertised for 6 guests maximum and hence we include dinnerware for 6 - The entire Great South Bay shoreline of Long Island is a mix of pebbles and sand - sorry you were offended with the pebbles - but we can not control Mother Nature. Thank you for staying!

Amazing week right on the water!

We spent an amazing week at this property and really enjoyed it. You can't beat the beautiful view of the south bay and the incredible breeze off the water. We really enjoyed our morning coffee and meals on the deck, gazing out at the water. Our two teenage sons enjoyed kayaking in the bay and exploring the island (just a 15-20 minute kayak trip away). Many great restaurants are nearby, and Steve and Dorry's recommendations are spot-on. We were in town for two baseball showcases in Medford, and this was a convenient property for those early morning starts. The property was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Thanks for a great week. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing view!

This house is spotless! Dorry and Steve go above and beyond to make your stay wonderful! We spent hours sitting on the deck, looking out at the water and enjoying the lovely breeze. Beautiful swans swam by and we even had a deer in the back yard. The house is equipped with all of the essentials. A lovely bottle of wine waiting for us and fresh bagels on the morning we left from a local bakery. Bellport is just a few miles down the road and it’s adorable. PORTERS on the lane was a fabulous restaurant and I would Highly recommend it. We were with our three adult children...celebrating graduations, and we made wonderful memories. We hope to make it back! Thank you Steve and Dorry!

Wedding Weekend on Long Island

6 women -- 5 of whom are senior citizens -- stayed in this quaint, well appointed cottage while attending a family wedding. The house is PERFECT for young & middle aged adults and families, but somewhat less so for senior citizens. Older backs (like ours) did not fare well on the trundle bed and high dining room stools. That said, the description of the cottage was COMPLETELY accurate. The trundle & stools were not a surprise; the back discomfort was unexpected. Tea and breakfast on the deck in the morning were awesome. The restaurant recommendations were excellent; dinner at Onofrios was superb. My family had a fabulous weekend and greatly enjoyed our stay in Shirley.
