Amazing one bdrm flat at the beach!

DavidRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Jeanette is a wonderful host. She met us on our arrival and gave us a tour of our rental ensuring that she answered any questions. She is very responsive and quick to answer any follow up. questions or concerns. The space is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The location is great, across the street from Long Island Sound and bordering a large nature preserve. All this and easy access to shops, groceries, and restaurants. We highly recommend this rental.

Phoenix Engine #1

BobRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The amenities and welcome "package" provided by Nathon and Gloria was unexpected and generous. The space was one of the most unique we have stayed. We loved the preserved history that was displayed throughout. I don't think there was anything that was not available to us during our stay. The train passing was the highlight of our stay. LOL. Where else could we have seen that. Parking was not a problem. We also felt safe walking to the surrounding restaurants and coffee shop just a short walk away. Our best to Nathon and Gloria on the future success of their space...Phoenix Engine #1. Bob and Jennifer

Steps to the Beach. Lovely 2-Bedroom apt

BrennaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Perfect house for a family/couple visit to the beach. It was great for my kids and I. We loved the space that the house offered and how close it was to the beach. Everyone was very pleasant that we spoke to. The house was clean, safe and felt like a home away from home.

Connecticut Waterfront Home, With Hot Tub, Cozy

LauraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was our second stay at the Riverside Blues House and once again Liza did not disappoint! This is a great location, great view and the home is pristine and beautifully decorated. My son lives nearby and when we have a large group visiting the Riverside Blues House is our home away from home. Can't wait to stay there in the warm weather and take advantage of the Ferry!! Thanks Liza!

Kayaks ~ Bikes ~ Boards ~ 6mins> Greenport ~ 55"TV

KristinaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Had a wonderful time over Easter with my family and dog. The view was exquisite and the house very comfortable. Eileen was very responsive and even had hair dryers sent over. The house was very well equipped with lots of kitchen staple goods. Just be aware there is no microwave, but there is a very nice Breville toaster oven. Also, there is a large table outside for a group, but only a small table and counter seating in kitchen inside. We didn't have any issue since the weather was perfect for us to enjoy our Easter dinner outside. Overall, a beautiful home and only minutes from Greenport and wineries.

Private Waterfront home with Dock!

MeganRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had a lovely fall weekend stay at Paul’s place. The house and the water views are just as pictured. Convenient location allowed us a good home base to explore the north fork wine trail and local businesses. We did have one small plumbing issue during our stay however Paul was extremely responsive to ensure it did not affect our stay at all. It was a nice experience having such a responsive host. Overall our friend group had a great time and would return again.

Meaghan’s place was everything we needed and more!

Spacious Beachfront Milford Home

Tonja JeneeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This place is absolutely serene. It is beautiful and spacious. My family enjoyed all of it. The only caveat, which is a blessing and curse, is that there are no window covers. The downstairs living room and sitting den don't have curtains or shades. This limits the privacy and everyone can see in. However, when the light hits, it is a magnificent view. We would love to book this in the summer because it was so family friendly.

John and Cathy are amazing hosts. This was our second consecutive summer stay in their condo and it does not disappoint. The place and the amenities they provide are amazing and they are a wonderful couple who respects your privacy but are there for anything you need. I recommend anyone to stay here and know they would want to return. Thank you John and Cathy for making our second summer with you a fantastic vacation!

Freeboard at Soundview · Beach+Ocean+Sunrise

GregoryRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Rate was great, it was off season. Cleaning fee is a little nutz considering it is tiny. VERY clean, perfectly functional. I wasn't a fan of the mattress, way too soft for me, but maybe that is just me :-) Overall I would happily stay there again. It was quiet, the other tenants were very friendly.
A sandy beach is viewed from above, with a wooden boardwalk leading down to the shoreline. Rows of white lounge chairs are positioned on the sand, facing the ocean. A grassy area borders the beach, alongside a multi-story building in the background.
