This is a beautiful home, just as pictured. It's spacious, has comfortable seating, and all the amenities for a home-away-from home stay. The outside offers plenty of opportunities for fun (swimming pool & firepit) and relaxation with a zen vibe (koi pond, sweet bridge crossing, hammock, gazebo).
The owner, Leslie, was responsive to questions before and during the trip. It's quiet and private. And you can expect to be delighted throughout the day by close encounters with the deer who live in the area.
When we arrived, it was immediately apparent the house had not been cleaned. Some areas (stove, refrigerator/freezer) had not been cleaned in a while. Other areas (garbage disposal, bathrooms) still had evidence of previous guests. We contacted Leslie right away and she had cleaners there the next day. However, we had to do quite a bit of cleaning to eat, store groceries, and use the facilities. Then we lost a lot of the day waiting for the cleaners to finish because we have small dogs and wanted to keep them out of the way. Happily, Lillian and the pool cleaners did a great job. Once that was done, we had no other issues with the house.
There was one other disappointment, but this was completely on us for not checking in advance. We had been looking forward to long walks in the neighborhood, but this property is on a short, dead-end road and the connecting road is a very busy county road.
In general, this property is in a great location for getting around the eastern side and South Fork of Long Island. A short drive brought us to all the places we wanted to see.
