My wife and I both grew up on Long Island and never imagined we’d be blessed with 12 children! As a big family, we’ve always needed spacious homes for our own getaways—places where everyone can relax, connect, and make memories together. That’s exactly the kind of experience we now love to offer our guests. Hosting comes naturally to us—we genuinely enjoy entertaining, creating welcoming spaces, and helping others enjoy time with the people who matter most.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and convenience. The home sits right on the water, with incredible views and stunning sunsets that make every evening feel like a retreat. It's a spacious property—ideal for families or groups—giving everyone room to relax and unwind. Plus, it's just minutes from amazing restaurants, local shops, and essentials, so you’re never far from great dining or anything you need. It truly combines peace, privacy, and accessibility in one amazing location.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property truly unique is the rare combination of expansive yard space and private waterfront access. Guests can enjoy a large outdoor area perfect for lawn games, family gatherings, or just relaxing under the sun. Across the quiet lake road, you'll find our private beach parcel with a charming cabana—ideal for lakeside lounging, swimming, kayaking, or soaking in the sunset. It’s a peaceful, private retreat that offers the space to spread out and the setting to fully unwind.
