Great house in a great location with lots of amenities and very clean.The host was super receptive and responsive.We loved the house and would recommend it to others.
This was a nice, clean home, no frills but close to the beach (such an amazing location) and close to all the wineries, restaurants and farm stands of the North Fork. Had a super enjoyable stay!

Wonderful to have you stay with us Paris! Glad you enjoyed the quick walk to the water :-) look forward to having you visit again.
Easy check in/checkout, walk to beach, clean, quiet, sunny house in a beautiful area, with all the kitchen and beach supplies you and your family need. We didn’t want to leave, we hope to return!
The property was as promised: clean, close to the beach, lovely and peaceful. Rebecca was extremely responsive and helpful with suggestions for our stay. She contacted us a couple of days before to let us know the house was available early and we were able to take advantage and have a full day to start our trip. Great host and great property for a long weekend with family.
The house is the perfect place to enjoy some family time.
Spacious, clean and with everything you need.
Wonderful host, Rebecca is always available for any sort of questions and suggestions.
Close to the beach and to many local attractions. Perfect week end

Thank you Gianpiero. We hope you come back to stay at our home on your next trip to the fork!
Rebecca's Southold beach house was perfect for our family vacation. She's thought of all the little things to make your trip more comfortable - super comfy beds, stocked kitchen and beach supply closet, and the kayaks were such a hit! The neighborhood is adorable, just a block to the beach. And we visited so many quaint downtown areas, farmstands and vineyards in closeby.

Thank you Kate! So glad you enjoy your stay. You noticed the comfy beds :-) Yes, we invested in good mattresses and bedding for the house so everyone could get a good night's rest on vacation. Sounds like a nice time at the beach and surrounding area! Hope we see you on your next trip back.
Great location in Southold. House had a pretty well stocked kitchen. Beds and furniture were new. Beach toys, wagon and chairs were available. Owner was easy to reach over email.

Thank you Katie! I am glad you liked the new furniture and that the beach gear & cart came in handy. We love the chairs with the backpack straps for an easy carry around the corner to the beach. :-) I also hope the new baby crib, crib sheets and and shipment of extra towels worked out. I know the crib was important and I do my very best to provide everything my guests need! It was a pleasure to host you and your family and hope you visit us again on your next trip back!
Very comfortable home. Nicely laid out and equipped. Good location a block from the beach.
Rebecca, the owner was very responsive whenever we contacted her.
The Kayaks were a bonus!

Thank you Mark for the kind review! Oh yes, Cedar beach located right around the corner is what we love as well. So glad you were able to enjoy some kayaking! Thank you for staying with us and we look forward to hosting you again on your next visit to North Fork!
Our experience as guests was excellent - some of the best Hosts we've had and they truly enjoy providing a memorable experience for their guests. They were the type of hosts that I think we all wish were more common on VRBO and other short term rentals and we were grateful for having hosts that were as attentive and in-tune with the guest experience as they were. They stayed in touch throughout our stay to actively let us know about local events happening in the area, suggested places to visit, let us know about amenities throughout the house to make our stay enjoyable (kayaks, beach chairs, fire wood, etc...) and preemptively kept us in the loop with info that every guest wonders about during a stay, such as early check-in and later checkout.
The location was great for our group of 6, we were staying in the area to visit the wineries and Greenport and had a wonderful stay. The house has everything we needed+ more. Highly recommend!

Rebecca's home is nothing short of a gem! Cozy home, close short walk in a pristine neighborhood. Rebecca was extremely responsive and communicative. We loved our stay and hope to be back someday. Thank you for being such a good host!
This adorable home is a 3 minute walk to beautiful Cedar beach. The home has a fully stocked kitchen, everything you could possibly need for the beach including 2 kayaks, nice backyard with an outdoor shower, grill and fire pit. Rebecca is an incredibly responsive host and made sure we had everything we needed!
