It was kind of hard to talk / text with Baron as the cellular service was nonexistent until you got up to the main road. The pic you see posted is not the view from your cottage so don't get too excited. The cottage fit my price range for the few nights I stayed and the accomodations were very nice.

This was our second time staying at the cottage, and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. It's a very, cozy little community on the beach, densely wooded and hilly, not what one would expect on a shoreline. The vineyards and town of Riverhead are convenient by car, as well a restaurants and farmstands. I expect we will be returning as we discover more of the North Fork.

Great location, great beach, perfect for the kids for a few days. No issues, place as advertised.

Baron was a great host. Beforehand, he thoroughly communicated details of his property as well as check-in time, the key location and where to park. This kept us from guessing and we knew exactly what to expect upon our arrival. He was very pleasant throughout this process. We were very happy with our time spent in Baiting Hollow.(URL HIDDEN)few details to mention: this property is located behind a parking lot where neighborhood kids play in. Our only concern with this was with the kids playing baseball right behind our car. Upon watching, we did notice that they used a soft-ball or "Nerf" ball. We were still concerned that our car would be hit even though this particular ball may not cause damage. Our car was not damaged, but it made me nervous every time I saw them out there! Also, there was a big party within this same parking lot on the Friday night that we were there. Since we were up late, this party did not bother us. The people in this party did get loud, but overall they seemed responsible. I doubt this party happens regularly. We were there on Labor Day weekend which is the most popular weekend to be vacationing. However, this is something to consider if you are bringing kids or like to go to bed early. Lastly, Baron installed an A/C unit in the back bedroom which was fantastic. We took advantage of that luxury! We would come back to this fun and comfortable rental property.

Baron was very responsive to our inquiries prior to the trip and was there to greet us during our check in. The Beach Cottage was very cozy, everything was very clean and the beds comfortable. Definitely recommend.

Great communication, place as described. Had a great time!

No issues at all

I stayed at the cottage with some family while attending a wedding. Baron gave us great directions, and the key was exactly where he said to find it. The cottage was basic, but met all our needs, and you can't beat the price. If I return to the area, I would definitely stay there again.

Joanne was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and communicative. She let us check in early and responded promptly to any questions we had throughout our stay. The space itself was lovely. You can't beat the value in the area--very comfortable for 4 people if not more. The real show-stopper is the pool. Lovely outdoor space. Would definitely recommend!

We had a lovely stay at this location. Joanne was readily available to answer questions at all times. The accommodations were well kept and a lot more spacious than the pictures show. Overall we enjoyed our weekend in Riverhead and would not only return but also recommend this lodging to others.

Joanne made us feel very welcome and we really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was larger than expected and easily fit a family of five. Highly recommend, especially for those who want easy access to the North Fork and ocean beaches.

It was conveniently located, spacious, comfortable, clean, and everything was exactly as described. Much better than a hotel for me and my dog, so it worked out nicely for my short stay to visit family for Thankksgiving. Highly recommend!

Joanne was a very friendly host.

Joanne was great. She was always there to answer any questions. Very clean and comfortable. There is a washer and dryer, but no detergent so bring your own! We had an amazing stay and hope to stay again!

Joanne was a wonderful and caring host! A lovely place just what we were looking for.

A quiet, impeccably clean and comfortable retreat for four friends on a weekend getaway. Joanne was friendly but not intrusive--she made coffee for us in the morning (!!) and provided ample linens/dvds/etc... Beds and couches are huge and comfortable, and the pool is large and lovely. Location is great for a farm/beach focused getaway...the long drive from wineries might indicate including a designated driver if that's your plan. A lovely home and a great stay.

Donna's beach home is exactly like the pictures posted. Very cozy and comfortable . The beach was wonderful , a little rocky but the water is great and very calm. Feels like your in a lake no waves. Donna went beyond with making sure we were comfortable , very easy to communicate back and fourth. Was very helpful in where to go for restaurants and wineries . She made sure the kayak was there for us for use with beach chairs and beach towels . The most wonderful part of this was woodcliff community people were so loving and caring . It's like a family . We felt like we fit right in

Great value for a cozy place perfect for a weekend getaway.

Donna was a wonderful host, very accommodating and helpful. Even though she wasn't on site, I felt she took care of all of my concerns quickly. She even loaned us quarters so we could do laundry our first day there! I wasn't prepared for the close knit community, but it was fine, not noisy at night and usually just folks enjoying their own cottages. But, the cottages are VERY close together. It did not bother us at all because the cottage itself was very comfortable.

Our time at Donna's beach cottage was wonderful! Booking was a breeze, and Donna was extremely accommodating which made for smooth sailing despite our hectic travel itinerary. The cottage is perfect for a family getaway, and our toddler enjoyed every minute of our stay thanks to the very kid friendly atmosphere. The nearby beach is beautiful (though rocky if you are used to the sand beaches of Southern California or Florida) and every nearby restaurant we tried was great. Although it was a bit of a distance, the location also made for an easy trip into Manhattan (we drove, but you could easily take the train as well). Truly from the house to the hostess, we couldn't have been happier with this booking. If life ever takes us back to Long Island, we would love to stay here again.

This very rustic cabin was tidy and we'll stocked with all necessities.

We had a really good time at Donna's place. The house is really cozy and comfortable. Donna is super kind and diligent, we only had a few questions and she replied immediately. My son loved the beach that is just there and the playground. We truly recommend this place and we hope to spend more time the next year.

Donna is a super host, the place is a very nice cottage and we look forward to visiting again. Will certainly recommend to my friends

Nice stay at Donna's cottage. We were slightly disappointed that you can't see the water from the cottage or deck, we got confused by the listing photos I guess. Donna was super helpful and friendly and easy to contact. Checking in and out was a breeze too! Overall, fun weekend stay out on the North Fork!

my boyfriend and I stayed in this cottage for 3 nights and thought it was absolutely perfect! Doug did a great job with overall decorations/ambiance and the place was very clean, neat and cozy. We also loved the front porch for a nice BBQ or to just spend time outside in a cozy setting. The location was just a short walk to the beach which was very convenient. Doug was also very helpful in coordinating our check in and making himself available for any questions that we had- would definitely recommend a stay here!

Super clean, adorable beach bungalow, exactly as pictured. Host answered questions quickly and his daughter met us. Really friendly neighbors. enjoyed the porch! Only drawback is you don't like neighbors very close to you but they were friendly !

The house was bigger than I expected, was very lovely and cozy I would recommend Annas beachfront home to anyone! Thank you Anna for being a great host!

Anna was a great host and we loved this beach house! We are definitely coming back again

The location is as good as advertised. The public stairs down to the beach is literally steps outside the house. You can be at the beach in 5 minutes (220 steps, to be exact!) There were plenty of local farmers selling their wares in road side stands nearby. The corn was sweet and fresh, as were just about anything else we found! We also loved that there is no extra charge for additional occupants! If you don’t mind being a little tight on space, this house can be a very affordable option! The Wi-Fi. It makes a world of difference, since telephone signal is extremely poor in this area. The kitchen is tiny, so plan on using the grill on the deck for most of your cooking. There is a very small electric stove, but basically no countertop space for cooking and prepping. We ran out of gas on our second night, in the middle of dinner, so be sure to check that the tank has sufficient gas when you arrive before you start grilling up a storm! The deck is spacious and has a large picnic table with lounge chairs and a parasol to provide some relief from the sun. But many of the guard rails surrounding the deck were loose and coming apart, so this is definitely a safety issue for small children/toddlers. Also, the sliding door out onto the deck from the kitchen is missing a screen door, so we were constantly invaded by flies in the house (I bought and left a fly swatter!). Also, there is a single window unit for A/C serving the entire house, so while it does provide some relief, it’s not quite sufficient to cool the whole house. There is a ceiling fan and other floor fans in the rooms to make it tolerable without A/C, however. The bathroom doesn’t seem to have sufficient hot water capacity, so after a shower or two, it takes a few hours until the hot water supply is replenished. The beach is very quiet and low key. Waves are almost non-existent. It’s great for children, but don’t plan on any wave related activities, such as boogie boarding! Also, the beach is quite pebbly. Water shoes are a must! Anna is a helpful and accommodating host, but she’s not so easy to reach sometimes. This is probably mostly due to the fact that telephone service is so spotty and text messages don’t go through.

We had an amazing time with my wife and daughter in this very cute house with sky lights and a superb view on the water. The gorgeous beach was literally steps away. the community is very kid friendly and i would go back there as often as I can.

The house was in a great location and had a great view. Anna was very easy to deal with. The only negative about the cottage is that the kitchen was a little small and not very good if your are interested in really cooking meals. I would go back.

The place is very nice. The grill's gas tank was empty. I contacted Anna and she responded very quick. I wet to Home Depot to buy it. Anna refunded my money. Very close to the beach. We had a good time.

Great location - driving distance to the Hamptons and the patio view was fantastic - directly on to the bay, over other houses. The walkway to the beach has a lot of stairs, but worth the walk for a private, residents-only feel. The beach is narrow and has sharp rocks and shells - it's best to walk with shoes. You'll also find rocks and pebbles in the water, but very gentle waves. The house had all the basics and a very usable large deck. Sheets, towels, dishes, and the kitchen floor were clean, but the rest of the house could do with a thorough cleaning, sanitation, and exterminator. You might run into some allergies issues due to the dust and musty smell (we bought Claritin and air fresheners). You should be comfortable with spiders. The bathroom is clean on the surface, but you should bring shower slippers along with house slippers. Keep your toiletries or toothbrush covered from the spiders, along with anything in the kitchen (we kept ALL food in the fridge). We'd recommend sweeping above, around the beds for spiderwebs. If you're looking for privacy, no other houses look directly on to this one, but they're packed together quite tightly, and you will hear your neighbors, who all seemed nice. Anna was great - provided easy to follow directions, and the key was easy to locate.

We had a great time at Anna's house this past weekend (3 nights). We were a group of 7 friends/family looking for a clean, comfortable affordable place to stay near the beach, and we found it! Anna was responsive to all of our questions, left clear directions, and her description of the house was accurate. We are already looking forward to next year!

The house is in good shape, everything is working fine. The description is accurate. The host is responding to all the questions in a timely and friendly manner. We've enjoyed the stay!

Our stay at Cathy's cottage was excellent. The cottage was clean and well equipped. Our host was friendly and helpful when we had questions. One caution for future guests is that getting to the house from the car can be a little tricky. Once there, though, it is delightful. The view of the Sound is breathtaking.

Had a great stay at the Cottage! The location is quiet and peaceful, and only a short walk to the beach. The Cottage was comfortable and had an incredible view of the ocean.

My two boys age 4 and 7, husband, brother-in-law and I had a wonderful time at Cathy's. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The master bed is super comfortable, with hotel-grade crisp sheets and all the boys slept like logs in their bunk beds. Cathy was a pleasure to deal with and communicated clearly and quickly with us. The highlight is definitely the wooden deck outside and the sea view. The sunset on our first night was breathtaking and it was a joy to eat outside with an interrupted view of the ocean. Stunning!

The host was very friendly and helpful, the location and views are wonderful!

Check-in was very easy. Pros: The house has a great deck with a nice view of the water from the "cliff". It's also very easy to get to the beach from the house. Cons: The house wasn't clean and wasn't in great shape overall. The "master" bedroom was awkward, with electrical piping up against the bed, and an uncomfortable mattress. The location was ok if you're interested in going into the North Fork. But Greenport, for example, is a 40 min drive away.

What a charming place! The host were so accommodating and gracious. Don't even get me started on the view! Amazing patio space to enjoy food, friends, and the sea.

This place was fantastic and the view from the deck overlooking the sound was great. The beach is about a 5-10 minute walk. The house itself is cozy with ACs in two of the three bedrooms. We only used it one day as there is good air circulation in the house once you open both sliding doors. There were a few beers and bottles of water waiting for us which was greatly appreciated! Something that cannot be overlooked is the warmth from her surrounding neighbors. We must have received 5 BBQ invites over the few days we were. It really made the trip for us!

Really enjoyed East End Retreat, just wish we could've stayed longer. The house has pretty much everything you could need. We were there for 3.5 days, but I think you'd really want at least a week to get into the right rhythm (ie wake, swim, fish, grill, kayak, grill, swim, drink, sleep, repeat). In any case, a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

Very cute house. It was great for our annual get together. We went here with a 8 group of women all in our mid 20-30's, all big wine-O's who definitely indulged at the vinyards. We chose this location because it was near all the NOFO vineyards- and man did we have a heck of a time at the food and wine festival. Two my cousins were pregnant so having the large deck overlooking the water was perfect because they we're able to hang back and still enjoy the house. It was a tough hike from the house to the beach for my one cousin who was 7mo pregnant - But worth it..... We grilled and ate at the house for just about every meal, kitchen was stocked with everything you could have needed- bathroom stocked with shampoo, conditioner and soap. It was really nice to spend the day at the bay (it's rocky so bring your flops for the walk)... House even had sunscreen stocked for us. Neighbors were great and we had incredible sunsets every night

The host left us a nice bottle of wine and the home was clean and welcoming. The beach is reached by climbing down a number of stairs, a bit of a trek, but worth it - beautiful home; beautiful beach!

Amazing house in a great location! My family and friends had a fantastic weekend. The beach is directly behind the house down a couple sets of stairs and can be viewed on the backyard patio as well. The small community around the house was quiet and welcoming.

Allan was a fantastic host. Not only did we get a bottle of wine, we got an entire welcome packet with winery, restaurant, and activity suggestions. The house is adorable - very coastal cottage chic - and it overlooks a small strip of beach. The deck was awesome for our bbq dinners and it's a short drive to the beaches of Westhampton, without paying the prices of the rentals there. I highly recommend staying here if you want to experience the North Fork.

Gorgeous and quaint location with easy access to the beach. Greeted with a bottle of wine.

The house was just perfect ! clean, a chilled bottle of white wine was waiting for us

Alan was a wonderful host. He took great effort in making sure we were comfortable and accommodated and had everything we needed. He gave us thorough instructions, plenty of suggestions of things to do and made us feel very welcome, including a bottle of wine upon arrival. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again. We highly recommend a stay at the east end retreat! Thank you Alan! Best, Mei and Peter
