Beautiful cottage. Clean and lots of natural light with a water front decor. The outdoor shower is incredible and the outdoor seating is large and soothing. Waterfront location key. The master bedroom, closet and bath were luxurious. Two other bedrooms a bit small for large boys but they fit. Great time. Close to Hamptons and boat rentals.

Our hosts were just lovely!!! Attentive to any question, and just great! And the best part…. “Charlie” the quirky, charming, loving, adorable golden retriever and his side kick Niko.. making sure our stay was nothing less than perfect! We will most definitely be back!

A wonderful stay at East End cottage

We had a wonderful 6 night stay at the cottage in Center Moriches. The cottage is on a larger property - the owner’s home is at the waters edge with a dock and the cottage sits back from their home. We had access to the dock and a play set and kayaks. The cottage was so well-designed, well-appointed for cooking, relaxing, with lots of amenities and nice outdoor landscaping and seating; a beautiful space to stay. John was an amazing host - very helpful and respectful of our space during our stay. Nice to be able to experience an area of the Island that was new to me even though I grew up here. Exploring the inlet by kayak was great - beautiful, lots of birds.

About the host

Hosted by John

Host profile image
We’re a family of four with two sweet pups who love spending time outdoors, so you may see them roaming the yard. My husband works in custom building and I run an interior design business, and together we’ve created East End Cottage with love, care, and intention. Our goal is to offer guests not just a place to stay, but a welcoming retreat where every detail is thoughtfully considered. Hospitality means a lot to us, and if you’re a dog lover, our pups Niko and Charlie will be more than happy to say hello!

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood surrounding East End Cottage is as charming as it is welcoming. Bay breezes drift through the quiet streets, while the best local restaurants, cafés, and shops are just minutes away. It’s a true community setting, where family events, children playing outside, and friendly neighbors, often with their dogs in town create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re here for relaxation or exploration, this quaint neighborhood makes your stay all the more special.

What makes this property unique

East End Cottage is a rare waterfront retreat on Senix Creek Canal with its own private dock, kayaks, and paddle boards. Families love the large yard, putting green, basketball court, and pet-friendly space, while cozy features like a wood-burning fireplace make it perfect year-round. Minutes from the Hamptons, beaches, wineries, and attractions, this two-bedroom cottage with loft is the ideal blend of relaxation, adventure, and coastal charm.
