Ultimate beach getaway: secluded beach, spectacular views, stylishly renovated

The cottage was super clean, stocked with everything we needed and in a perfect location. Outstanding views, sunrises and sunsets. It was vey private, yet close enough to anything we needed. Kate & Daniel were pleasant and quickly responded to any question we had. Would highly recommend and would love to come back and stay again.

A quintessential beach house atop a short hill above the sand and rock beach. Peaceful and quiet. The only thing that could make this house better would be if it was on the South Fork where the beaches are all sand.

An absolutely beautiful private location. The cottage is cozy, comfortable, well equipped with gorgeous views of Long Island Sound. Kate was very attentive and took care of every question / need we had. Thank you Kate for sharing your great home with us. We hope to be back soon! All the best Mike and Carol

We spent the entire month of July at this delightful rental with our family (two parents, one small child, one too-large dog), our first extended stay in the North Fork after years of visiting Montauk. There were a number of factors that drove our decision, but direct waterfront access and privacy were two primary ones, and the rental delivered in spades. Set up on a bluff (which provides stunning sound views and fantastic sunsets), the beach was accessed via a short stroll down a gravel boat ramp. Most mornings we would rise with the sun (or more accurately our daughter, who rose with the sun like clockwork), brew a pot of coffee and head down to the beach for stroll. With literally miles of undeveloped beachfront, we could walk the better part of 60-90m without ever seeing another soul. Afternoons were often spent driving to a local vineyard, nearby village or other destination -- fortunately the immediate accessibility of Garden of Eve and Briermere meant that organic veggies and the like were never too far away, though there are a number of fantastic farm stands 15-20m due east that are worth a visit as well. But invariably we would look forward to returning to the house for a relaxing evening spent watching the sunset on the deck and preparing a simple meal with whatever we had foraged nearby. With no TV to tempt us we were able to truly unplug, and spent our evenings sitting on the couch listening to the waves and truly unwinding. The one major selling point we hadn't anticipated was the Wadia family, who both own the rental and their own vacation home next door. Kate and Daniel were phenomenally accommodating and helpful, and even allowed us to invite our family and friends to come celebrate our daughter's one year birthday during a weekend afternoon. Any questions or minor issues were immediately responded to and resolved, and they freely shared their knowledge of area and offered tips and advice for how to spend our time. We can't say enough about what amazing hosts they were. The house is small but economical, and we frequently had grandparents or family in for multi-night visits, which never proved an issue. The recent work done on the house gives it a delightfully minimalist aesthetic (the pictures do it justice), all the better the enjoy the environment and privacy the location offers. If you're looking for a true retreat from city life or otherwise just want to unplug, it's hard to imagine a better location.
