Me and my family had an amazing stay at this Airbnb. The property is super unique, and has so many beautiful amenities! We felt very relaxed and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool is amazing and the coy pond was such a beautiful place to sit in nature. Maximilian was very helpful and accommodating, and the home was also close to all the activities we wanted to do in the Hamptons. Highly recommend :)

Max and Tania are great host. Beautiful zen property. Great location. Hosts are very welcoming and accommodating. Had a really good 2 week stay here.
Catherine April 2022- “A relaxing spot for a weekend getaway and the grounds looked exactly like the pics posted. Unfortunately we didn’t have the opportunity to experience the pool area and the guest house (as it was early April), The house is unique and good for children (10, 13, 14). Maximillian was really communicative and accessible.”
Babita March 2022- “Stayed at this beautiful property with family.All of us loved it and had a great stay .This place has such a amazing vibe and Maximilian was super helpful .Highly recommend staying here . It was an awesome experience for all of us. “
Chris March 2022-"this has to be one of the coolest properties. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't thank our hosts enough for their hospitality. We had the pleasure of staying for the 6 nights, the property is close to many places town, beaches, shopping, wildlife conservatory, etc. The property is beautiful and one of the cleanest I've stayed in. They had everything we wanted for a week away from the city. Some of the amenities that we enjoyed were the outdoor space(wrap around porch, koi pond, deck in the backyard, pool gazeebo), the kitchen was stocked with a lot of supplies if you like cooking there was no shortage of spices, the 2 bedrooms are perfect for a family, washer, dryer and a nice size living space. The house allowed us to be comfortable. We can't thank Maximillian enough for the trip and 10/10 visit again."

Brent- Jan 2022- "My stay experience at the Zen Pagoda home for New Years Eve weekend was great decision. It was clean, relaxing and spacious. The host, Max, was very knowledgeable about the home and the area. Looking forward to staying there again for the summer."
Maria&Sandesh Dec 2021- "We spent 4 wonderful days at the Zen Pagoda House in Sag Harbor. The house is a marvel and perhaps one of the most unique looking ones in Sag Harbor. The main bedroom was quite cozy and it was delight to walk around the property. Its also conveniently located just 5 minutes away from Main House which has a great selection of food drinks and other conveniences. You can also hop over to Shelter Island quite easily. “
THE SPACE
Home was designed and gardens grown for an authentic Japanese Zen experience!! Experience the two great secrets of Sag. Long Beach and BayStreet Theatre. Watch a Broadway level show for fraction of the price. Enjoy the European esque Long Beach just 2 min from house or 15 min walk. Beautiful decor traveled from the Far East fill this property. This is not a typical builder’s A-Frame Hampton house with catalogue furniture. Property feels like a quaint small village in Kyoto, Japan since there are two other structures, a Coi Pond, seasonal Pool, two walking Bridges, Asian-style wrap around deck on 2nd floor with overhang roof and a Gazeebo furnished for lounging and relaxing overlooking the pool. It is very charming, but not new. So please be kind with delicate decor items for your heightened experience. House is designed to enjoy the gardens regardless of season. It is for the person(s) or families who enjoy the outdoors and appreciate Japanese architecture. Property has a lot of character and grace notes to be discovered.
The main Pagoda House has 2 bedrooms/baths on the first floor. Stairs then lead upstairs to a open floor plan of living room, dining room, kitchen and wrap around deck and an open deck with outdoor dining tables and chairs for dining and sunbathing. Perfect for making family gathering memories! From the 2nd floor deck you can take the Japanese bridge and turn right to steps leading to the front of house. Or, go left, to these charming stepping stone path, down to the beautiful gardens.

Our own children and those who visit, find it a “magical place.” Children fall in love with property and want to explore and go outside. But children eight and younger must be supervised by adult anywhere on this property.
Property is magical for children but lends itself for them to go discovering. So it can have potential to be be hazardous if children are left unattended.
Although our children entered this property at a young age, we always supervised them on the exterior grounds at all times. If you are staying for a short weekend or a week, area has many passages.
