Sited on a quiet, serene bay beach only a mile from the ocean beaches, the location is great, very private and equipped with beach chairs and kayaks. The house is clean and modern, filled with light, with decks that offer seating in sun or shade throughout the day.
The blinds in two of the bedrooms were falling apart and inoperable, and were apparently on back order. Katherine was very responsive in offering a solution when we complained, but by then we just wanted to be left alone. Our only other negative was the feeling of stinginess when we found we needed to supply our own extra toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags, as well as any kitchen spices, (even pepper),condiments, laundry detergent, shower soap, and hair dryer. The kitchen is otherwise well equipped except for a lack of placemats.
I have rented houses from Maine to California, Mykonos to Morocco, but have never been anywhere that there were so few “soft” amenities. However, this is my first Long Island rental and this may be the norm there.
