Not going to lie when I pulled up I was skeptical, but once walking in and enjoying a entire weekend at the house...it couldn't have been more perfect. The size was perfect for 4 adults and a baby while having enough room to gather and have personal space too. Perfect stay, loved the entire area, will be coming back for sure.

Sweet Cottage

If you're looking for a trip to the northern part of Long Island this rental is a great place to go. It is a very charming cottage with access to the beach, plenty of room, and very clean. It was also a very comfortable rental and had all the amenities that you need. We loved it. What we found in this area was great vineyards and music, and they were places and activities for adults and for the children, and there was an abundance of restaurants and beaches to enjoy.

Lovely week in Laurel

For reasons I won't go into, we actually had the opportunity to stay at both the Cottage and Main House during our 6-night getaway. Totally different, but both are great. Everything was as we like it. My adult daughter joined us for a couple of nights and loved it, too. Great, well-stocked house, clean, convenient to everything in the North Fork, with attentive property manager in case of any needs.Just a lovely week.

Beautiful Cottage

Cottage was nestled away to add privacy from public. The cottage sits behind the main beach house. Property was clean and very unique. It has everything that is needed for a comfortable stay. There are plenty of rooms for families to spread out, but also plenty of room for everyone to be together. Property owner was staying in the main house on the property and she was very attentive. The use of kayaks and paddle boards were a huge bonus. Perfect for a quiet getaway with privacy.

Cottage on a lovely 2 acre plot on private beach

A much loved family sanctuary. On the 2 acres are 2 houses. The smaller 2 bedroom cottage is pictured and has a beautiful great room and 2 bathrooms. It's a very brief walk to the private beach - past the larger (5 bedroom) house which is right on the bay. Each house has its own portion of beach. The bay is delicious for swimming - the whole property is quiet and secluded. And the owners are lovely and immediately responsive.

Perfect accomodations for a perfect stay

Smooth, easy and problem free stay for 2 couples to enjoy a destressing long summer weekend. Sitting out on the small stretch of private beach, getting in some kayak time and sun time, followed by winery visits and tastings then dinner at local restaurants, followed by evening movies in comfortable accomodations. We loved that the lovely cottage was perfect for our group, clean and comfortable and perfectly suited for our stay! Easy contact with the property manager through VRBO was there but we had absolutely no issues that required any interventions or that caused any problems or discomfort. Our successful stay has inspired us for future go-'rounds :-) We also liked the classic charm of the cottage backed by modern updates - we took advantage of the screened in patio, the outdoor deck seating area, living, tv room, and private beach. This was exactly what we were hoping for to enjoy our long beach weekend getaway!

Wonderful stay

Hi- like other reviewers have noted, this is a lovely, comfortable property with its own slice of beach located close to the best of what North Fork has to offer. The kitchen was stocked with the right tools, the access to the pack and play, high chair, gates and kids toys made packing for a baby a breeze. Even the trundle beds upstairs made sleeping a wiggly older toddler easy. They loved the sunroom. Location close to a big kids farm, wineries, aquarium was so nice. Even being a little closer to the city than other places we’ve stayed in north fork made the drive easier Two things to know - the flip side of your own private beach (so nice to read a book on the Adirondack chair without a worry and have kids dig in sand safely) is that it’s harder to walk on the beach a long distance, if that’s your thing. And the outdoor space is shared with the larger house. This was also totally fine for us - the group there was sweet and not at all disruptive and the listing is clear on this too. But it won’t feel totally secluded if there are guests at the main house. The host was very responsive to questions in advance and even provided check out flexibility, which we really appreciated. Beautiful spot that I highly recommend to folks with young kids who are looking to get away.

We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful cottage that was very clean and well equipped! We loved that we were able to bring our two small dogs with us who also very much enjoyed the house and grounds. The property was beautiful with its immediate access to the water for swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Meredith was very responsive, kind, and so accommodating! We would love to go back!

Wedding Weekend

We rented both the main house and the cottage listed by this host on the same property. The brides family stayed in this 5 bedroom home and we (the groom’s family) stayed in the cottage. First, I must admit to not being the most organized renter and Meredith, the host was gracious and accommodating every step of the way. The location was perfect! We had the bridesmaids at the house the morning of the wedding to get ready and had photos taken of the deck overlooking the water. The pictures are stunning! Both the house and the cottage are equipped with everything you could possibly need and was very clean.
