Our stay at the Captain's Cottage was absolutely magical and the perfect experience for a holiday trip. The cottage itself was incredibly festive and cozy, and we were delighted by how beautifully decorated for the holiday season it was upon our arrival. It truly felt like a home away from home.The surrounding town of Cold Spring Harbor was just as lovely, living up to our expectations of a picture-perfect setting, much like a Christmas card. We enjoyed walking through the quaint shops and along the charming harbor.The hosts made the entire experience wonderful. They were fantastic—responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating, putting a lot of effort into ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We can't wait to return and highly recommend this absolute gem of a place to anyone visiting the area!

Nice place!

We have rented a number of places on VRBO and this is our favorite. It was charming, clean and spacious. We don't have small children but if we did this would be perfect with a game room downstairs and an outdoor playhouse. Would definitely return!

Cold Spring Harbor getaway

This is a quaint property located off the main road going through town but you would never know it. It is quiet and tranquil. Property is clean and well maintained. The owner has provided many amenities, my husband appreciated the well stocked coffee"nook." We walked everywhere and it was fun to explore the waterfront. A quick drive to Sagamore Hill and Oyster Bay. We enjoyed our stay. Owner was very responsive to my questions.

Great stay in a charming town!

I travelled to work for the week on Long Island with two work colleagues. This house made the trip a treat! Love the kitchen amenities and great beds. The owner was so kind and although it snowed on day, the porch and drive were shoveled before we left for work. One caveat: if you don’t like stairs, this isn’t the place for you. If stairs are fine, I can’t recommend this super clean and absolutely charming house more. Will gladly book again when I visit.

A Delightful Stay at Captain's Cottage!

Our family had an absolutely delightful stay at the Captain's Cottage in Cold Spring Harbor! The moment we walked in, we were impressed by the stylish and charming decor that gave the home a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The entire house was spotlessly clean and very well-maintained, making us feel right at home. The cottage had all the amenities we could possibly need, and we were pleasantly surprised to find some extra touches that made our stay even more comfortable. The location was ideal, with stunning views of the harbor and easy access to nearby attractions. We would definitely recommend the Captain's Cottage to anyone visiting the area and hope to come back ourselves someday!

Passover Family Time

Came into town for Passover in Syosset, this was a great home to stay in for the long weekend. Beautiful location with lots in walking distance so we could enjoy the area. Kitchen amazingly well stocked to be able to help with cooking. As others have mentioned, the stairs to one of the King bedrooms are very steep so at least 2 guests need to be able to essentially go up and down a ladder- our guest mix made this fine. Backyard seating area was beautiful with direct access to Cold Spring Harbor State park. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

House with a view

I rented this home for a multi-family vacation. We all absolutely loved the house. The beautiful view of the habor was amazing to see out the windows, porches, and backyard. The next door neighbors are very friendly. The house is very beautiful inside and comfortable. Bed upstairs was soft, king bed on the main floor is medium firm. The single beds on main floor one is soft one really firm. The playhouse in the backyard was the highlight for my grandson and made his vacation so special. In walking distance is a deil with the best coffee in town . They have bagels delivered daily and other delicious breakfast sandwiches. There are many restaurants, groceries stores and train station in the area. There is also a 24 hrs CVS close by. You can walk down to the boat dock and see mussels during low tide. The fire pit in the backyard was nice to sit around and hangout. The owners are friendly and responsive if you have an issue.
