We spent an amazing week at this property and really enjoyed it. You can't beat the beautiful view of the south bay and the incredible breeze off the water. We really enjoyed our morning coffee and meals on the deck, gazing out at the water. Our two teenage sons enjoyed kayaking in the bay and exploring the island (just a 15-20 minute kayak trip away). Many great restaurants are nearby, and Steve and Dorry's recommendations are spot-on. We were in town for two baseball showcases in Medford, and this was a convenient property for those early morning starts. The property was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Thanks for a great week. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Bryce P.

We were greeted by them upon arrival and they set us up for a memorable stay. They were so accommodating and warm. The waterfront location is amazing. We spent many hours in the backyard: taking in the scenery, eating, lounging, stargazing. We took the 5 minute drive to Smith's Point Beach a # of times (18 per car in 2025) and enjoyed the waves, the ocean side tiki bar, ice cream and atmosphere. We also loved being able to run there, it took about 15 minutes! We have stayed in a # of rentals and rate this as A!!! ##### Jodi L.

Sunsets are spectacular. The location was central to exploring Long Island. In a wonderful three day visit we explored Islip to Montauk and fit in a round of golf.

Dorry and Steve go above and beyond to make your stay wonderful! We spent hours sitting on the deck, looking out at the water and enjoying the lovely breeze. Beautiful swans swam by and we even had a deer in the back yard. The house is equipped with all of the essentials. A lovely bottle of wine waiting for us and fresh bagels on the morning we left from a local bakery. Bellport is just a few miles down the road and it’s adorable. PORTERS on the lane was a fabulous restaurant and I would Highly recommend it. We were with our three adult children...celebrating graduations, and we made wonderful memories. We hope to make it back! Thank you Steve and Dorry! ##### Wendy P.

The owners were great and showed us through the property and then shared several local spots to explore ##### john y.

The house is PERFECT for young & middle aged adults and families, but somewhat less so for senior citizens. Older backs (like ours) did not fare well on the trundle bed and high dining room stools. That said, the description of the cottage was COMPLETELY accurate. The trundle & stools were not a surprise; the back discomfort was unexpected. Tea and breakfast on the deck in the morning were awesome. The restaurant recommendations were excellent; dinner at Onofrios was superb. My family had a fabulous weekend and greatly enjoyed our stay in Shirley. ##### Elaine J.

My wife, son and brother recently stayed at this property while we were attending a family members wedding in the area. This property is absolutely gorgeous! The house was very clean and perfect for just relaxing and enjoying breathtaking sunsets every night. The property came loaded with everything you would need. Plenty of towels, wash clothes, kitchenware, etc. It also had plenty of comforts for the expansive outdoor area in the back, such as seating, fire pit, BBQ, shower, etc. The communication with the host(Steve and Dorry) was perfect. They are very attentive and communicate as well as any host I have worked with in the past. Most of all they are very nice and just overall great people. So if you are looking for an amazing place to kick your feet up, disconnect and just relax on a waterfront property, this is the spot! We will definitely be staying here again when we are in Long Island! ##### Jason W.

Beautiful views, sunsets and large deck for sitting outdoors. Clean house with complimentary bottle of wine! My children enjoyed the grass filled backyard for cartwheels and sports. Owners kindly allowed us to rent their kayaks to use in the bay. Went clamming across from Boyd island and caught a snapper. 2 minute drive to ocean beach and lots of nearby grocery stores and restaurants. Went hiking nearby and to the children’s farm. Wonderful stay so close to the city. We will definitely be back again!!! ##### Jennifer L.

The house was so clean, I didn’t feel the need to wipe down anything on my own (which I usually do). The furniture was super comfortable. The views were amazing. We watched the sunset every night over the water. The hosts were very respectful, greeting us (with a bottle of wine) and showing us around the house when we arrived and saying good bye when we left… of course wearing a mask for COVID protection. They checked in via text to see if we needed anything and to make sure we didn’t want the heat turned on. They were available to us if we needed them but not overbearing. Due to COVID we didn’t really do much in the area except go to the beach and to a local petting zoo. The house was nice enough to just relax there. There were a few outdoor toys for our toddler to play with which was nice. If you have a toddler, I’d just recommend bringing a booster seat for them to eat inside on. The table/counter is high. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience. ##### Cheryl B. ---
