About this property

It’s All About the Beach ~ 3 minute walk to private sandy Bay Beach SRP#0270

It truly is all about the beach in this classic, bright and airy North Fork beach cottage that is just a two minute walk to our stunning and private sandy Bay beach. Our home has been updated and offers both a huge screened in porch and a beautiful back yard deck. Just steps to one of the most coveted Bay beaches on the North Fork, our cottage is also conveniently located to any shopping you might need just up the block. You'll be within mere minutes to North Fork favorites like Love Lane and the many countless vineyards that now dot the Fork, yet a world of peace awaits you at the calm and sparkling private, sandy association Bay beach just 500 feet away. Enjoy indoor~outdoor living at its best as our vaulted living room with skylight and ceiling fan has french doors to a huge, welcoming screened porch. The charming porch has a massive oak picnic table that seats 12 and a large separate sitting area. Galley kitchen has a large french door refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher and gas stove. House offers high speed wifi for work at home, and desk. All rooms offer ductless AC. Primary bedroom has a king size bed, ensuite bath with shower and sliding glass doors to the beautiful and private backyard cedar deck, as well as a small tv, and a toddler fold out sleeper chair. Second bedroom has queen bed below and an attached loft with queen mattress. The loft area is suitable for older children or teens. There is a convenient laundry room with new LG washer and dryer set. The private, fully fenced backyard offers a sunny outdoor shower you will want to live in, a fire pit area, and of course a lovely hammock. Deck has BBQ, dining table (with umbrella) that seats 6 and chaise lounges for relaxing. Our garage has been renovated into a lovely she-shed (available in-season only) suitable for yoga, quiet work from home, or just an extra hang out space, complete with powder room and AC. (Sleeping overnight in the she-shed is not permitted, and if used, must be left in condition found.) Conveniently located right up the block you'll have access to a Starbucks, CVS, grocery store, and a variety of local shops and restaurants. At the top of the block, the famous Magic Fountain ice cream shop awaits your visit! On the charming Love Lane in Mattituck you'll find a Godiva candy shoppe, a world class cheese shoppe, wine tasting, Lombardi's specialty food market and brick oven pizza and of course, the renowned Love Lane Kitchen restaurant. There is also a Jitney stop at the top of the block and the Mattituck train stop adjacent to Love Lane. Just around the corner, beachside, children may enjoy the Veteran's Beach playground, while pet parents can walk the lovely Husing Pond Preserve Trail. Rental includes use of 2 adult cruiser bikes as well as an ocean kayak and stand up paddle board which are kept right on the beach for easy access in season. (Please request lock codes for use.

About the host

Host profile image
My dad bought this property in 1968 after a summer rental nearby. Being a school teacher in Southern Westchester with 5 children, he needed a place to bring his brood in the summer. Luckily a friend told him about the beaches and farms (potato farms back then) on the North Fork. I've been spending my summers here ever since. A few years after he passed, my husband and I bought the house so we could keep it in the family and I'm so glad we did! The best times of course are when my siblings, and now our children, can be reunited here in the summer, but I am almost as happy when I know another family is having just as wonderful a time experiencing this magical area and all that it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Mattituck is right next door to Cutchogue, the sunniest sector in New York State. I cannot tell you how many times over the years, we have had sunny days at the beach while it was overcast elsewhere on the Fork. It is truly perfectly positioned, nearby to all, yet a world away. The beach is particularly splendid for children! The Bay is not rocky or cold like the Sound beaches, it is shallow and mild, and the sand is soft.

What makes this property unique

The main benefit of the house is the private association beach. It is just so close and so glorious. We have spent so much time through the years fishing, clamming, swimming, and simply relaxing on its sand. Our beach is also private and we get to enjoy it as such. Usually we bring the firepit down to the beach after dinner for s'mores and vino under the stars. On hot nights we'll even swim again. It is truly an idyllic summer ritual! Another benefit is the tremendous screened porch. It is ideal for napping and meals. And the beautiful outdoor shower, no matter what time of day or night, you will always prefer it to an indoor shower! We spend most of the time on the porch or on the deck when we are home, but mostly we are at the beach. There is also an enormous playground right around the corner at Veteran's Beach, and there is a tennis court two blocks over. The Mattituck yacht club is also right around the corner if you're inspired to sail a bit during your stay. In addition, one cannot overstate the benefit of having a truly exceptional ice cream parlor at the top of one's block!
