About this property

Water views of Plum Island sound and access to private, sandy beach

“Perfect spot for a New England vacation”

“Great outdoor space to entertain!!”

“The location was convenient to everything.”

“The house with its surrounding decks immediately transported us into the beach vacation vibe.”

The reviews are in for the Great Neck Nook — a little bit of heaven on the North Shore with views of Plum Island Sound and access to a sandy, private beach. Its location makes it a great base camp for exploring the coast where you’ll find a wide range of activities that suit every taste including the Crane Estate which offers art and music exhibitions, kayaking and hiking and, of course, quintessential Crane Beach.

There are also plenty of great restaurants to choose from although, if you’re like us, you’ll find yourself opting for cocktails on the Adirondack chairs, a barbecue on the deck, and then walking around the neighborhood as the sun goes down over the sound.

If you’re looking to live by the sea this summer, the Great Neck Nook is a perfect place to do it.

Please Note: Non-shedding dogs will be considered

In addition, there is a 12 ' x 15' unfinished room in the basement that includes an informal living area with chairs, a table and a SmartTV. A large hobby table and chair can be used as a home office or for working on projects or puzzles.
