The Pickerel Inn at 450 Crescent Beach Branchport, NY

Great accommodations and the owner was accessible and responsive.

Great location, like being close to the water

We had a wonderful time. The cabin is cozy & the views incredible. We would stay here again!

The views and proximity to the water are the only things that made our stay good. The boathouse/bathhouse/garage turned into cottage has 1/3 of it with no more than a 5’9” head clearance, including the dining area, hallway and bathroom. Not mentioned anywhere, even in any of the posted glowing reviews! My 6’3” husband had to bend over or hit his head on beams the whole time! Makes me wonder if only hobbits rented it previously. The bathroom and shower vent into the rest of the cottage, and the “door” to the bathroom is only about 16” wide, and does not cover the whole entrance, doing nothing to keep bathroom smells in the bathroom. The living room, with the queen bed, has no way to darken the room, so when the sun comes up at 6 AM, you’d better be ready to get up. The neighbors’ house, which is literally 3’ away, was being remodeled, so we had circular saws and hammering the whole time. The other house on the property, which is much larger, had all the parking spaces across the road filled when we got there so we were glad we only brought one small car, which is all that will fit in the driveway-our truck would not have fit. The row boat was full of water (we bailed it out and turned it over), there was no chaise lounge to be found. The neighbors, who drastically outnumbered us, had the paddle boat. The stairs to the beach were rickety and unlit. Missing rocks on the wall, overgrown vegetation, missing lights all screaming for attention. This was honestly my most disappointing rental in over 20 years with VRBO!
