My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Peter’s beautiful home on the bay. Fabulous waterfront views from the outside decks as well as inside the dining and living room. The home was very clean, spacious and comfortable for us. Kitchen was great to cook in, and the beds were very comfortable. Peter was a great host, hope to return again someday.

Stunning, beautiful, tranquil views!Truely a perfect beach house.My favorite moments were sipping coffee on the deck in the mornings. This house was roomy for 6 of us.A few updates are needed because of how the saltwater air eats away at electronics and such, but we absolutely loved it.

Fantastic serene family getaway

We had an amazing time at Bill’s place. The house is clean and comfortable and every detail is well thought out. The location is great: quiet and close to the beach, and the views from the decks are sublime. Not much success fishing but lots of fun trying. Kayaking on the peaceful bay was excellent. We all enjoyed it so much, that our only wish was for more kayaks so we could go out as a family. We look forward to planning a return visit.

Great Place to Unwind..

The beach house has everything you need for a family vacation. Five-minute drive to the beach. Easy drives to Patchogue, Port Jefferson, Sag Harbor, Montauk, Greenport and all the wineries in between. Or just sit back and enjoy the view from the upstairs or downstairs decks. Great communication with the owner. I highly recommend.

A real Thanksgiving!

A better place to have a family Thanksgiving will be hard to find. We came from Manhattan, Washington DC, Connecticut, and Richmond VA to share in a family gathering. The home was warm and spacious and had everything we needed to bring our holiday feast together. The Bay views were magnificent as was the sunrise and sunsets. We will be sure to come back when ever we get the chance! The Cappa Family,

Heavenly

We had a glorious week; the views are stunning and so relaxing...we couldn't take enough of it in and so enjoyed the duck and swan families. Peter was a terrific host. He was so responsive to any questions or needs. The house was well stocked, clean,spacious with the wonderful wraparound decks. We had our boat there which made the week really perfect for us. The location was convenient and so close to the beach. Had a nice meal out at a good spanish restaurant but mostly grilled and ate dinner with gorgeous sunsets. Peter's home was just right for us and we will be back!

Revisiting this Wonderful haven

This is our second time revisiting this wonderful house. I can’t say enough about the incredible location of the house-on the water, incredible views, 15 minutes walk from fire island beach. Bill is a wonderful host that even made sure to get a tandem Kayak for our second visit, in addition to the 2 he had, so we could go kayaking as a family. The house is super clean, very specious and have everything we needed-kitchen equipment, laundry, grill on the terrace, you could go fishing from the doc, and the highlight is the outdoor shower! We loved it and will be coming back again. Thank you, Bill

Review of our stay at 44 Sherbrooke Ct, Smithpoint

Very nice vacation home located on the bay with gorgeous views of wet lands and bay. Most anything you need to make the stay comfortable was there, even clam rakes and knives for opening the clams that we dug nearby. Although there were many windows on the second floor that could be opened for the cool breezes off the ocean and bay there are days when the wind is off the land, probably 3 or 4 days during August and these days the upstairs can be quite uncomfortable since upstairs is not air-conditioned. One or two ductless air conditioners would solve this problem. First class floating boat dock and plenty of kayaks.

Priceless View

I cannot say enough about Bill and his desire to make our stay a wonderful one. The communication before, during and after gave us a feeling of security. The house itself is wonderful and stocked to entertain and enjoy. From plentiful towels to tissues and flashlights on the nightstand, he really thinks of everything. Let us not forget about the firewood supply! (my personal fav) The views are breathtaking and the top deck was equipped with a safety gate as we travelled with a 2 year old. Thank you again Bill! I want to encourage everyone to stay at your home, but let me put in my weeks for 2021 first! lol

About the host

Hosted by Peter Riebling

Host profile image
Pete and Renee bought this house in September 2022. We live in New Jersey with our children and hope to spend time at the house occasionally during the summer and throughout the year. When we're not there, we'd love for others to enjoy the beautiful views and fun activities. The previous owner rented the house through VRBO for ~10 years, receiving many, many 5-star reviews. Our goal is to continue providing exceptional hospitality to our guests!

Why they chose this property

We bought this house because it is close to our relatives in the nearby Hamptons, allowing us to visit our family more often. Also, the waterfront location and views of the sunrise/sunset, wetlands and Fire Island are amazing. The house is directly on the bay and within walking distance of the ocean. A beautiful place to stay all year round.
