Wonderful home with a beautiful pool in West Babylon. Host Sheena is very welcoming and a great communicator. She responded to my questions during our stay within a few minutes. There are smart TVs in each of the three bedrooms, and a large flat screen in the living room with three couches to comfortably watch a movie or sporting event with friends and family. Comfortable beds and impeccably clean throughout the house. The outdoor area near the pool has several lounge chairs, a table to eat outside, and a lighted gazebo with seating for at least six people. I’d highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Perfect place

We were in town to visit family and enjoy a baby shower. This place was the perfect location for us. Sheena was a great host. The house was clean and spacious! She had cabinets labeled which was supposed surprisingly handy. The back yard was beautiful too! Highly recommend this rental and will rent again when we come back into town!

I rented with my elderly aunts so we could attend a family event. The house was perfectly located for our needs. Very clean and Joe’s Italian Market was a 5-minute walk. Great market! I highly recommend. Beds were comfortable, bathroom small and a little unsafe. It’s a deep tub and no bar or tub mat, Be careful. One bathroom for 4 was challenging because of size. You are given 2 rolls of 1 ply toilet paper. So bring extra. Biggest challenge was bedroom with 2 twins. No access to closet and no where to put suitcases. Okay for kids but if your party is adults only not conducive at all. You are literally on top of each other and with no space for luggage a stay longer than 2 nights will be onerous. Kitchen was supplied adequately but not amazing. Small Keurig provided for coffee and tea which was nice.You are given 1 roll of paper towels. So bring extra if staying longer than 2 nights. Bring a box of tissues and napkins. None provided. No washer and dryer, so not ideal for a longer stay. No guests after 9 PM among other rules made me feel like I was a teenager being scolded on how to treat a house. Overall, it met my needs but a little pricey given room sizes, limited amenities, no welcome book with how to’s, wifi, and restaurant recommendations etc, rules were a little over the top. I wouldn’t call it a home away from home. It’s a clean rental in a middle class neighborhood.

Hi there, Very sorry you felt the rooms and space were small and didn’t meet your expectations. The 2 big bedrooms did come with luggage stands for your suits, those two rooms did have big closet which you did have full access to. The bathroom is not built for the elderly, if that were a concern you should’ve asked that question before booking. I do believe my listing is very clear, stating theres no washer or dryer. Sorry you left like a teenager with my rules but every house you rent will have their rules and restrictions, unfortunately that was one of my rule. WiFi information is on the wall inside the house. Also all that was sent to you in the welcome guideline. Thank you very much for choosing my home!

Wedding weekend

This house was very well maintained I was a little sad that we couldn't spend more time hanging out in the house due to visiting for a wedding and being very busy. Sheena took care of the smallest details taking it to the next level. I also would have loved if it was pool season, we'll have to come stay during the warmer months for that.

Holiday

This property was the perfect relaxing end to an otherwise very busy holdiay in Boston and New York. We stayed for 3 nights and could happily have stayed longer. The house was clean and comfortable and had all we needed. We spent most of the time in the large garden area which had an amazing pool and lots of seating options for a relaxing family time. Local shop, ice cream parlour, pharmacy and restaurants all within walking distance. We'd definitely stay again. Many thanks Sheena, Helen and family. UK

It features 3 bedrooms and updates that include a heated in-ground swimming pool, making it appealing for families or those seeking backyard entertainment. location in a desirable, convenient suburban neighborhood with good schools and community vibes. It’s well-suited for families looking for space and amenities. It is conveniently located to Walmart and major highways. 20 minutes from the beach and an hour from NYC!
