Cottage was perfect- exactly as described. Great hosts, clear directions, clean, private, great views, great location. The fireplace was wonderful. Lots of light and a wall of windows facing the water made it stand out as a very inviting place to spend time. It was an ideal combination of comfort and charm.

Lovely cottage in a great location

This is a one of a kind opportunity to be in your own cottage, close to town, but also on the water. There are beautiful water views and it was perfect for paddle boarding. Paris is a wonderful host - we would definitely stay here again!

We had a great weekend at Paris's cottage. It was probably the most idyllic rental we've ever stayed at - beautiful views, comfortable and welcoming interior, and Paris was attentive and accommodating. Would recommend 100/10.

Picturesque cottage within walking distance to town!

Was looking for a great historic place with creative interior design, water views and close to town. This place was perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Say Harbor and the cottage was even better in person. So quaint and picturesque. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay at the cottage. Highly recommend!

Weekend in Sag Harbor

Great location close to the heart of Sag Harbor shops & restaurants. A private 1 bedroom cottage with a view of the water and a peaceful setting. Hosts were kind enough to have the property ready a little earlier than check-in which was much appreciated after hours of driving to get to Sag Harbor. Would highly recommend for a nice getaway. Have everything you need to be comfortable & can walk into town.

Sag Harbor Fun Family Visit!

Very comfortable and great location. It’s a very cool experience living in such a beautiful historic cottage. Paris is friendly and knowledgeable. We had a lovely weekend with his recommendations for vintage shops. The cottage was the perfect escape from the City that my husband and I desperately needed, we would definitely stay again!
