Being so close to the dunes with a fabulous view of the water was the best part of this cottage. The only real issue was the tight fit in the bathroom, but the water pressure was excellent. It’s such a dog- friendly house and community. We enjoyed the eclectic decor of the cottage, and we hope to return another time.

From the second you walk into the cottage there is the water view, from inside the house looking out, that is amazing!! The beach front access kept us in nature all day, from coffee in Adirondack chairs greeting the morning sunrise, through midday swimming, and an evening stroll to cap the day off! Also it was so much fun to have our pup along for the trip!!

Everything was great . Except the neighbors coming and telling us we had to put in our dog cause he was barking at another animal. She said this isn’t going to work to need to take him inside. Well I’m sorry that dogs have a voice too. But the beach was beautiful night and day, I love seeing the ships in the water .

The property is well loved and comfortable. The location is excellent. We relaxed and the beach was just right out the door. It was so welcoming for us and our dog. The house was clean and the coffee pot was a plus since we enjoy our coffee on the morning. We would love to stay there again.

Septic issue caused us to leave 2 nights and 3 days early was not compensated . Yard was dug up when we arrived . Had a stressful time trying to keep my dogs away from the poop dirt. Several service men showing up without notice leaving the gate open when I had dogs. For a time that we payed to have quiet relaxation and got none. Very private, no stores closer than 15 minutes. Flys Flys and more flys! I wondered why so many fly swatters and we soon found out. If you’re thinking about swimming think again the bay is so brown and dirty I only put my feet in but watch out you don’t step on horseshoe crabs the size of babies! I myself had to sweep the whole side of the house leading to steps, couldn’t open door because of all the pine cones and debri. The bedrooms don’t have closets or proper flooring. Painted plywood without rugs.WiFi cuts out, when your using the toilet you’ll get a good view of the wasps building their hive. Bees all around the shed. And if you have small dogs this fenced yard is not for you. Holes everywhere and things placed in the way instead of getting a new fence.Only rent this overpriced nothing to offer place if you want to catch up on sleep.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize that your stay did not live up to expectations and that you experienced significant stress during your getaway. The septic issue was unexpected. Although we were informed the job was completed prior to your arrival, we coordinated immediately with both the plumbing and septic companies once we learned the problem persisted. The yard digging was necessary for these repairs. We also apologize that contractors arrived without notice and left the gate open. Regarding the exterior conditions, the area experienced severe storms around the time of your stay, which caused the sudden accumulation of pinecones and debris. Additionally, Prime Hook Beach is known for its private, natural environment, which means it is located about 15 minutes away from commercial stores and is home to local coastal wildlife, including seasonal marsh flies and the bay's natural horseshoe crab population. While many guests enjoy the Prime Hook beach setting, we understand it may not match everyone’s expectations. Thank you again for your review. We are fully committed to using your experience to improve our property and service moving forward.

This was our third stay at this cozy little cottage on the bay. In addition to the usual things that we live about staying here, we were surprised and delighted by the throngs of migrating snow geese who hung out on ‘our’ beach, both fascinating and beautiful!
