Elegant 5-Bedroom Hamptons Home with Private Pool

Linda was the perfect host! Her home is amazing and everyone on the trip had the very BEST time! We can’t thank her enough for allowing us to stay in her home!

The house was great! Plenty of space and Linda had everything we needed (towels, floats etc).

We stayed at the house for my father’s 75th birthday. We had 13 guests and the house was able to accommodate us all. The pool was wonderful. Everyone loved the floats. We did have to turn on the heater manually. We thought it would be on before we arrived. Also, the listing said there was a hot tub, but there wasn’t. The house was stocked with a lot of cooking supplies, which made making meals easy. The location was great. We visited the bay a few days while there. Linda was fast to reply to when I had questions. I would suggest making guests aware of any scheduled maintenance crews who may be coming to the house. That way guests can plan their stay accordingly. The temp in the house was tricky to manage and varied by floor. All that to say, the house was great and my family and I had a wonderful time.

We arrived early to see if we could put some perishable items in the fridge. We were met by a very nice cleaning lady who said it would be okay if we did that. Around 215pm the owner came and said they were running behind schedule and the house is still being cleaned and check in was not til 3pm. We waited until 3pm and then entered, but the house was still not completely flipped from the previous renters. The owner said we could come in but would have to work around them. After putting away items, I put up some decorations for the weekend. The owner then raised her voice stating it was ‘the most disrespectful thing she has ever seen’ and ‘why would I put scotch tape on the walls of her million dollar home’. She then proceeded to ask me multiple questions about my weekend and my plans and told us ‘she could shut this down right now’ and she has ‘cameras everywhere and will be monitoring us.’ At about 3:40pm she finally decided to exit the house while our group was already there feeling uncomfortable after spending a TON of money to rent this house from 3pm Friday to 11am Sunday. She continued to sit in her car in the driveway for an additional 15-20mins. She messaged me multiple times about people needing to come to this house to check/repair things which is completely inappropriate when you have renters for 2 days. She also said we needed to move 2 cars into the garage, but there was only room for 1. All the garbages were filled to the brim when we got there, and one of the garage spaces was filled with trash and cardboard. I had to personally move this so we could fit another car. All in all, it was a horrible experience with the owner, but the house itself is great for a large group. I have rented multiple houses and have never experienced this sort of treatment. My suggestion is not to rent your home out if you are not comfortable doing so. For the record, we left the house spotless.
