About this space
Made for families & their dogs
With 5 bedrooms and room for up to 10 guests, this is a true family vacation rental on Long Island's South Shore — well suited to multi-generational trips, family reunions, and getaways with the kids. The house sits on a quiet cul-de-sac that's safe for children, and a pack-'n-play and high chair are ready for little ones.
It's genuinely dog-friendly, too — bring the whole family, including the four-legged members. The fully fenced backyard gives dogs a safe place to run, and nature trails are minutes away for morning walks. A pet fee applies, so please include your dog when you request your dates.
This is a calm, residential home — no parties or events. That's exactly what makes it a relaxing, quiet base for families near the beach and the Hamptons.

House rules
"We normally do not post many detailed reviews, but we felt we had to say something for this one.Kate and her co-host were amazing.It ended up snowing and we were all concerned how we would get the car out of the driveway and walk our mobility-challenged parents from the house to the car.Kate had the driveway and walk ways cleared of snow each day that it was needed.This was REALLY impressive and we are SO thankful to Kate for this very thoughtful gesture.Her place was great --no concerns or problems."
Great place to stay very clean quite and nice. If we are in the area again we will defintly come back!
