Location: Aquebogue, North Fork, Long Island, New York, USA (5 miles from Riverhead)
Accommodations: Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
This is truly a dream cottage. Right on Peconic Bay, which is salt water, with a beautiful view of the South Fork and a State park across the way. It is close to the neighbors, but everyone is friendly and quiet, and knows how to respect privacy. Situated on a quiet road, you rarely even hear a car. The house is perfect indoors and out! There is a large deck with a picnic table, umbrellas, and chaises, steps down to the water, a lovely yard full of flowers and grasses, and a hot & cold outdoor shower. The master bedroom has a queen bed, the guest bedroom has two twins. Pets are welcome, if they are well behaved. I have cats, so there is a cat door in the screen, which can be locked if you do not want your pet going out.
There are plenty of activities in the area, wine-tasting at any number of the various vineyards being one of the most popular, but you will find it hard to pry yourself away from the luxury of your own private beach! If you crave the ocean, it is only a 20 minute drive away.
Aquebogue is a mere 90 minute drive from Manhattan, John F. Kennedy, and LaGuardia. Islip is 50 minutes away. You can go see the theatre in New York, and be home for a midnight toast under the stars!
For the gourmand, the fresh fish cannot be beat, and there are numerous great restaurants in the area, with more opening every day. Loads of farm stands provide a wealth of fresh vegetables, local cheeses, breads and goodies. Have you tried the famous pies?
