About this house rental
Beachfront Historic Artist’s Residence
If you’re looking for 2 to 3 amazing weeks in prime vacation time, August 22 through Labor Day week to Sept 12, our home is available.
Fantastic location right on Peconic Bay, with lovely private beach just down the steps out front.
Generous indoor and outdoor spaces are perfect for family get- togethers.
See the sunrise over Peconic Bay in a historically Landmarked residence, once home to two prominent artists. Ideal for families, it’s located with a sunny south-facing 200’ private beach on the calm waters of the bay – great for sunning, swimming and boating. The 4 acre site is landscaped with outdoor garden tables, bay overlook with benches, porches and plenty of grass for family play. Side brick terrace has a warm water outdoor shower, changing room, and gas grill.
A blend of contemporary and antique furniture, oriental rugs and paintings in a spacious interior, make it an elegant yet cozy & comfortable vacation retreat, perfect for gatherings. Summer days can start on the screened-in dining porch with breakfast overlooking the bay and end with dinner for 8 to 10 by moonlight. The eat-in kitchen is large enough and fully equipped to cook at great meal together, with pantry and plenty of counter space, recently renovated with new appliances and laundry. There is a spare room above the kitchen with bay views that is perfect for a home office and extra single bed for one guest.
The 16’ x 33’ open living / dining room overlooks the bay, with several seating areas and window seat, A 1/2 bath is located off the first floor hallway.
The house has wifi, and the living room plus 4 of the bedrooms have mini split AC available…although the bay breezes and oak tree’s shade usually keep the house cool.
Called High House because of its unusual height, there are 5 bedrooms on two upper floors that sleep 10, furnished with antique and modern furnishings, all with water views: 2nd floor queen master bedroom and queen bedroom plus new bathroom with tub & shower; 3rd floor twin pink bedroom, double yellow bedroom, small double green bedroom, and new tile shower bathroom with skylight..
The locale offers many choices for a great vacation. There are award-winning vineyards and plentiful farm stands very nearby as well as fishing, boating, bicycling, and shops, restaurants and galleries in the towns of Greenport and Riverhead. Shelter Island and the Hamptons are easily accessible by ferry from Greenport. 2 hr drive from NY City, or via Hampton Jitney which stops nearby in Peconic.

This is a historic property with a lot of character and fantastic outdoor space. Very private and relaxing, with sun or shade always available. Hard to find something as perfect as this.

Our family spent a wonderful two weeks at High House in August this year. We came from Florida and Boston to Peconic and the North Fork. We were so happy to be able to spend time together in such a restful atmosphere. We come from a family of longtime Long Islanders but had not spent a lot of time on the North Fork except for day trips years ago. Since our vacation this summer, we have become strong “North Forkers” in spirit. Wendy was extremely helpful in recommending local farm stands, wineries, and other local businesses and her stories of her childhood and family in the house were fascinating. The weather was great and the beach and the bay were perfect for our mix of older children and adults of various ages as we swam and used our paddle boards and kayaks each day. We look forward to returning!!

Vacation at High House and, beyond the winding beach and glistening bay, enjoy museum quality art and fascinating Long Island history. The spacious rooms are furnished eclectically, but definitely lean vintage. We loved the "summer dining room," a screened porch with panoramic views of Peconic Bay. Our family group of ten hopes to reprise our High House holiday.

The house was charming and comfortable, and we loved being right on the beach - so perfect for a small child and hosting a few friends. We hardly left the property, and every day we grilled and ate dinner on the screened in porch. We were so happy that next year we're renting for an additional week!
