Lovely
The property is lovely. We were in the area for a family wedding and definitely enjoyed our stay. (They could use a few more washcloths, especially considering it sleeps up to 12.) Otherwise we found everything we needed. The view is beautiful, the neighborhood, and the beach too.

Wonderful Stay
This house was exactly what we wanted and as described. Beautiful views of the water and other ample space for everyone to spread out. We came in with our two kids and in-laws and everyone had space to move around and lots of room to play and hang out. The owners were fantastic and super helpful and we can't wait to come back for another visit.

Great for families with toddlers
We stayed at Shay's for 4 nights with three families and 4 toddlers. The house is spacious and kid friendly equipped with gates/toys/crib/toddler bed. The beach was a short walk away, a bit pebbly but quiet and calm water.

A wonderful respite for the whole family
We visited this lovely house early in the season and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet surroundings and stunning view of the LI Sound. The house was well supplied and the rustic beach community made for a relaxing getaway. The beds were very comfortable and did I mention the view?? We found a great little Italian pizzeria closeby, Marinellis, with amazing Italian food and walked down the 100 steps to the nearby beach. The whole family enjoyed it!

Pretty sound views
This home had lovely views of the sound. House is roomy and so is the back deck. Enjoyed staying here a few nights with girlfriends and visiting nearby wineries. Neighborhood is cute as are surrounding towns. House is a split family house so at times we heard the guests/residents next door. House had all necessary amenities. Overall, a nice relaxing stay.

Fits all family requirements
We had a baby, toddler and a work from home situation. There was enough space to nap kids and still enjoy visiting with adult family. The deck was wonderful providing scenic water views. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed walking around. Grocery store, deli markets and ice cream shop a short drive away.

Long Island trip
Our family enjoyed our time at this property. The views are wonderful from inside and outside the property. There was enough room for all of us comfortably, and check in was very easy. The biggest negative would be the beds are very uncomfortable. I would suggest upgrading or adding some foam mattresses.

Wonderful home with incredible views
This vacation house is so comfortable, it felt like home. Well-appointed, we had everything we needed for the perfect stay! There are some signs of wear and tear, but nothing unexpected from it being a waterfront rental. The views of the sound are absolutely amazing, and we really enjoyed the private beach. There are a lot of rocks getting in and out of the water, but wearing water shoes helped. Wish the outside shower had worked, but we found the garden hose. Our group unanimously agrees we would love to stay here again!

Overall nice stay
There were some problems in need of care. The post at the bottom of the stairs leading to the gameroom has a crack and needs to be repaired. The rack for the pool sticks came off the wall and the wall anchors came out. I think the grass should have been cut before the guests check in but that is me. The dryer does not dry the clothes properly. After 3 cycles clothes were still damp so it needs to be looked at. Other than that we enjoyed the stay and the views were awesome

3 generation stay.
The spacious home was comfortable. Some areas are showing wear. Some upkeep would be welcome. ie window cleaning, kitchen organization, sliding screen door. Some kitchen supplies, dish soap, paper towels were in short supply. Condiments, Salt and pepper ketchup, mustard were not available. We weren’t aware we needed to bring our own. Overall things were pretty good. Views and deck area were the plus, as was the children’s play areas inside and out. The access to the beach was easy and a total treat. Didn’t use the kayak, not enough calm water. Thank you Shay for the ease of connecting with you.

Wonderful quiet location, views, could use a good cleaning
Overall we enjoyed our stay. We were three adult couples and found the bedrooms to be a nice size and the beds very comfortable. The deck was lovely and very private. The house was easy to find in a cute neighborhood, entry was easy (key in lockbox). There is a second rental unit attached but a privacy wall on the deck so no issues. The beach access was further away than we anticipated and is monitored by security so be prepared to show credentials (which the owner leaves for you). The house is showing wear and tear of years as a rental. Our biggest complaint was the cleanliness - the counters were sticky, the kitchen floors were dirty, anything hanging from the ceiling was dust -covered, we pulled dusty platters off the top of the fridge to use only to find roaches. The screens on windows had large holes so we had a lot of flying bugs in the house. The dining table had large seams that are full of crumbs. I strongly urge the owners to perform a good deep cleaning - after that it has potential to be a great place.

Amazing Long Weekend
My fiance and I rented this house along with a few other couples and had an amazing long weekend. Shay was wonderful to work with and was more than accommodating. There are three bedrooms, one has a futon bed, but was still very comfortable. We were worried because we had a fourth couple for two nights, but, because the house is so big, they had their own space downstairs in the living room. The house comes with passes to a private beach shared by the community, just a minute walk from the house. You will only encounter a few people, which makes for a very relaxing beach day. The best feature of the house by far is the huge deck, which overlooks the expansive Sound. We spent every evening on the deck as their are the most amazing sunsets over the water in the summer. This house is made for people that want to go to the beach, hang out with friends, and cook. It is close to Port Jefferson, but there are no shops, bars, restaurants in walking distance... it is definitely in a residential neighborhood. That being said, you won't want to leave as the house and beach provide everything you need. I would even rent this property during the fall or winter as it is very cozy and has many fireplaces. For those looking for an extremely relaxing stay with friends or family, this is the property for you.

Family visit
This house was a very good match for my family of 4. -Great communication with the owner… and even better, no real need to communicate with the owner. Shay contacted me before I even got on my flight (out of state travelers) to give me the directions to enter the property. The home was easy to find and has designated parking right in front. Once inside, the home has a book of useful information about the property and the surrounding area. -the home is clean and had most of the things that you’d expect. -Accurate listing. The description of the property and the photos are accurate. It’s a beautiful home with amazing views. One side of the house does share a wall but the inside and outside feel isolated. The interior is casual/eclectic, not fussy, nor pretentious. (For the parents) I didn’t have to move baubles to higher places. If you want fancy/luxury, this is not it. The exterior sliding doors and shower door are a little wonky. -comfortable bedding -I love when a house has books. -I also like that the only tv was in the game room downstairs. -Kids: The kid’s room has some toys and books, which was a really nice treat for my littles. They also really liked that there was a tiny dining table for them. The play set was definitely enjoyed. The back and front yard are fenced and I felt safe having a 3 and 6 yr play in them. Balcony also felt safe for children. -there was plenty of space to host local family for dinner

A house with solid potential but far too many many shortcomings to be recommended.
Let's start with the positives -- views of Long Island Sound from the upstairs balcony and living spaces are gorgeous (downstairs views are impaired by foliage that has completely overgrown the fence). The house is also well-supplied with kitchen items. No complaints there. Beyond that, it's tough to know where to begin. Inside, the house presented a generally unkempt appearance. Our impression was that the owners built an attached addition and haphazardly stuffed their unwanted furniture, clothing, towels, toys, etc. into every nook and cranny of this non-favored side of the property. Appearances aside, renters have a right to expect minimum comforts. Such as pillows. There were pillow shams galore, but only two pillows in the entire house. Only one of those pillows was in a pillowcase on a bed. We had to dig to find a second pillow, and dig further to find a pillowcase for it. The rest of us had to use worn out shams, for which the owner made no apology. To the contrary, her response was "shams are pillows." Top sheets are also a reasonable expectation. There were none. Sleepers had to make do with a fitted bed sheet and a duvet cover. The tight 3-hour turn around between check-out and check-in provides little comfort that duvet covers (and pillow sham cases for that matter) could have been cleaned in that limited time. Quite simply, yuck. We don't need matching towels, although that would be nice. Unstained towels are a must, however. Couldn't find them here. Nor was there soap for the upstairs shower (although soap was promised), or a toaster or hair dryer (also promised). Towel racks that don't fall off the wall when a towel is placed on them and rods that don't come apart when curtains are drawn (Master BR) also are reasonably expected. A little preventive care could have kept these issues from occurring. A heavy rain Saturday morning brought with it major leaks in the skylight and sliding glass door upstairs. The skylight frame showed evidence of prior leaks. Luckily, we were home at the time and were able to use a 10-gallon pot to catch the skylight leak, and bath towels to absorb the door leak. The biggest issue was soundproofing between the two units, or, rather, the complete lack of it. We heard every note of every song and every word of every conversation in the unit next door. No doubt they heard us, too. Minimal added expense in the design and construction process would have lessened this intrusion. Disappointing overall.

Sound Beach LI Getaway
We were 7 adults away for a 4 night trip. House is roomy, beautiful, well stocked with a stunning view. Everyone said beds were comfy & they slept well. We cooked/grilled all our meals and found everything we needed in the kitchen. The deck is the real star, big enough for outdoor meals and chilling/chatting while taking in the gorgeous ocean view and night sunsets. We took advantage of golf/vineyards nearby and the 2 days we went to the beach, it's a quick walk around the corner. We did not want it to end!

Not worth the price
The property was much more dated than what the photos conveyed. The location was good with nice views, but the property itself had few issues that were not great for us: - No hot tub even though it was originally listed as having one - owner has since taken it off the listing - might've just been a mistake - First main floor had a strong curry / cooked spices smell - while basement was better but still had a little bit of new paint smell. - Windows/screens were dirty, had holes, or partially broken - this mattered because we were trying to air out the smell but really couldn't leave it open for long so bugs/flies don't come in. - While main kitchen and parts of bathrooms were new - most of the furniture and house were very dated and basic. There was even water dripping that clearly had been going on for awhile that left a big mark on the sofa. - Note the beach that is walkable is not really swimmable - but that's probably known for most people. Net net - for maybe 2 families who want basic place to stay / sleep and have separation (upstairs and downstairs) this might be a good fit, and some people might find the pleasant views and location outweigh the quality of the house itself - but it was not for us for the price paid.
