Our Sisters Wedding Weekend
The location of this property was absolutely perfect! There is 3 bedrooms on the 3rd floor with 1 full bath. On the main level there is a 1/2 bathroom. My husband, 3 year old son and I stayed in the basement. We did purchase a fan to help with airflow down there but the large space was perfect for us. There is a small but full bathroom in the basement with a stand up shower. ((I always travel with a blow up tub for my son)) we also brought our own blow up mattresses that worked perfect for comfort in this space. The fenced in backyard was absolutely beautiful! We will definitely be staying again!

Amazing home with great hosts.
Andrew and Jean made you feel like you were home away from home. Everything was extremely clean and cozy. Very easy to communicate with and extremely friendly. They even had juice boxes and snacks for our children when we arrived as well as iced tea and juice. We would recommend their place to anyone, and will be back again some day as well.

Excellent accommodations
We stayed for a week for our son’s wedding and several events surrounding the wedding. It was centrally located for us and so nice to visit with family from different states. The house was big enough for all and had a nice yard. Highly recommend this VRBO!!! Thank you!

What makes this property unique

The excitement of New York City and the charm of Long Island are all accessible from your centrally-located home. Make a right out of the driveway and within 1 minute you'll be on the Southern State Parkway headed to NYC or Eastern Long Island. A hospital is within walking distance, and supermarkets, banks, restaurants, auto-parts stores and the Hempstead Lake State Park are 5-minutes away by car. Roosevelt Field Mall, Eisenhower Park, the Aquatic Center and Nassau Coliseum are a 10-minute drive, and so is the NYC borough of Queens. It's a 10 to 15-minutes drive to The Nautical Mile, Jones Beach, the Long Island Children's Museum, The African-American Museum, The Holocaust Memorial, Nassau County Museum of Art, The Cradle of Aviation, Playland Amusement Park, and Belmont Raceway. Long Island boasts hundreds of 19th-Century mansions and castles, some of which are open to the public. Casinos? There's one 20 minutes to the West and another 50 minutes to the East. The Hamptons are just over an hour to the east. From there, drive an additional 45 minutes and you'll be in Montauk.

If you'd like to be chauffeured in style and comfort by seasoned professionals, we can help you arrange day trips and sightseeing tours of beautiful Long Island and the bustling New York City, as well as airport transportation. If you'd rather do it yourself, your home is a 1-minute drive from the Southern State Parkway, one of Long Island's major East-West highways. You'll be on your way in less-than no time. Prefer to take the train? Depending on where you're going, choose among 5 near-by Long Island Railroad Stations. Feeling adventurous? Hop on a horse at the New York Equestrian Center, just over two miles south. There are more than enough opportunities for you and your guests to enjoy New York and create beautiful, lifelong memories.
