About this property
Waterfront home, deck, bbq, fire pit, boats, hot tub, and more!
Stunning water views of the Connetquot River. Located in the “Idle Hour” section of Oakdale (originally created by Alva & William Vanderbilt in 1878). All six bedrooms have amazing views. The home is a close distance by paddle board down the river from the stately Vanderbilt mansion.
Across the river is the Bayard Cutting Arboretum, providing amazing serene views of nature from inside house, the deck, backyard, and dock. Bird watchers delight! Photographers delight is some of
The house has a hot tub, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, 2 surfboards (take to Fire Island!), dock for your boat (or a rental boat), peaceful views from almost every room! For more historical information about the area, google “Idle Hour Wikipedia”. The house has just been “placed in service” by an experienced operator (check out the reviews of our other VRBO listings #168476 & 7702998). The best sunsets around!
