Walk to Sandy Bay Beach~North Fork Wine Country Cottage SRP#0270

Escape to the peaceful charm of the North Fork in this classic, bright and airy Mattituck beach cottage. Our cottage has been a guest favorite for years with exceptional reviews from travelers visiting the North Fork. It’s just a two-minute walk to our stunning and private sandy Bay beach! Spend mornings on the huge screened in porch, bike to nearby vineyards, enjoy a BBQ on our beautiful back yard deck. Our cottage is also conveniently located to any shopping you might need just up the block. Just minutes to North Fork favorites like Love Lane and the many countless vineyards and farm stands that 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.

YOGA & REMOTE WORK STUDIO:
A renovated detached studio provides a quiet space for yoga, meditation, or remote work. Many guests enjoy using the studio as a creative retreat or peaceful workspace during longer stays, or just an extra hang out space complete with TV, AC and powder room.
(Sleeping overnight in the garage is not permitted.)

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. Renter assumes ALL liability for water toys and bikes.) Beach shed is equipped with vests, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and a large dolly to roll all to the beach.

This place was amazing. I had a medical procedure done in Glen Cove and needed to remain in the area for follow up. The beds and furniture were super comfortable, the kitchen had all the things we needed, it was just delightfully pretty and soothing, lovely quiet neighborhood, the morning walks to the beach with coffee was such a nice treat and Joy was super responsive. The area, the vineyards, markets, and community is 10/10 stunning, would absolutely love to stay here again someday!

This was our second year staying at the house and it was another wonderful week. The house is clean, has everything you need, and is convenient to everything. The beach is close and the water is calm for young children. The host is great; she is friendly and provides all information up front and is available if needed.

Perfect beach cottage

Quaint and quiet beach cottage that was perfect for our few days of some R&R. The cottage has everything you need for a perfect vacation, lots of amenities and spotless! We thoroughly enjoyed getting up in the morning and walking to the beach which rarely had anyone else there.The front porch was a great place to just hang out. The cottage is ideally located to restaurants, groceries and of course, lots of wineries.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.

Hope you find your way back to the Fork for many more visits and we’d be happy to host you again in the future. Have a wonderful rest of the summer! : ) ~Joy

Great vacation

My family stayed at this house for a week in July 2025. The house is very comfortable and very clean. The location is perfect- so close to the beach and Veterans Park is around the corner. So many restaurants and shopping nearby. We spent so many hours on the large screened porch. It sure makes it easy to enjoy the summer with no bugs. The owner, Joy, is so accommodating and helpful. We are looking forward to another vacation here. The Barters

The house is lovely, well-equipped, and clean. LOVE the large front porch and the beach at the end of the road and the outdoor shower!! This is our second stay, and we hope to return. The only things to note are that the kitchen is quite small - it’s not a house for elaborate cooking (use the grill!!) and the second bedroom a bit tight. Great find in the North Fork.

Everything promised and more

This property was better outfitted than my own home. Every possible need and want was anticipated and accommodated by the host, Joy. Life jackets, hot water kettle, coffee maker, abundant towels, games, beach wagon, beach umbrellas, a roomba, books, grill filled with fuel, bikes…everything a family could want to hang out at the house as well as the nearby beach. Super clean with great air conditioning.It was a wonderful stay!
