Another reviewer said it best: photographs cannot convey the surrounding beauty of this house. It was so wonderful to have a private beach just steps away from our back door; our young children spent many hours splashing in the shallow waves, collecting pebbles, climbing on giant boulders, and just having fun exploring. We watched the sun set every night that the weather allowed, and we weren’t disappointed once. The pool was also a huge perk; on the smallish side, but it was actually the perfect size for a family with small children. The neighborhood was very quiet, especially at night, which we appreciated.
The house itself was fully equipped; we had enough beach towels, blankets, and sheets to go around. There was also a good supply of toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, and kitchen staples. The kitchen was a joy to cook in.
Also noteworthy is how close the house is to Orient State Park. We enjoyed running there and also took the kids to the beach and playground. The nearest winery is about 10 minutes away, Greenport is a bit further, but we rarely hit traffic during the weekdays going west; it was pleasant driving.
Finally, the owner responded to our minor issues and questions promptly. We would certainly consider staying here when we venture out east again.
