Good communication with kind owners. Next to owners house, but we still felt private. Comfortable bed and bedding! Nice shower. Very close walking distance to sunrise and moonrise over the water. Located right within the town of Northport for shopping and dining. Friendly quiet waterfront town.

This is a nice and very convenient location in the town of Northport. Although it’s in the middle of the town, it was quiet around the property but once in a while, hearing some people playing at the beach nearby, we enjoyed our stay!

Karen's place is absolutely spotless and very comfortable for 2 people. She includes lots of great touches like snacks upon arrival and also some beach towels and chairs to use during your stay. We have stayed there twice so far and are very comfortable. I'd highly recommend!

This roomy studio apartment was clean and comfortable, with views of backyard greenery, which made us feel at home in the woods even though it is located steps away from the business district and shoreline. Our lovely hostess made checking in a breeze and was easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We would book this place again in a heartbeat.

Great hosts!

Our host was really wonderful! She was very communicative both before and during our stay. She gave us some great recommendations for local hiking and the best places to watch sunsets, sunrises and to view the stars.
