We absolutely loved the house. The view is incredible and even in April we found it extremely charming. A perfect spot for the weekend getaway we were looking for.
Perfect location for nearby wedding (Old Field Club in East Setauket) and for places to shop and explore. Beautiful view , comfortable for the 6 of us. Would stay there again.
Beautiful view with water and sunsets! There was enough room outside to hang, grill and play cornhole. We are so glad we stayed in sound beach for our vacation.
Our stay at this property on Sound Beach was amazing. The views are spectacular. There are plenty of restaurants within a few mile radius. The house was clean and spacious. Check in was easy. Plenty of parking. Quiet neighborhood.
The property is lovely. We were in the area for a family wedding and definitely enjoyed our stay. (They could use a few more washcloths, especially considering it sleeps up to 12.) Otherwise we found everything we needed. The view is beautiful, the neighborhood, and the beach too.
This home had lovely views of the sound. House is roomy and so is the back deck. Enjoyed staying here a few nights with girlfriends and visiting nearby wineries. Neighborhood is cute as are surrounding towns. House is a split family house so at times we heard the guests/residents next door. House had all necessary amenities. Overall, a nice relaxing stay.
We were 7 adults away for a 4 night trip. House is roomy, beautiful, well stocked with a stunning view. Everyone said beds were comfy & they slept well. We cooked/grilled all our meals and found everything we needed in the kitchen. The deck is the real star, big enough for outdoor meals and chilling/chatting while taking in the gorgeous ocean view and night sunsets. We took advantage of golf/vineyards nearby and the 2 days we went to the beach, it's a quick walk around the corner. We did not want it to end!

Liked: Check-in, location
Not worth the price
The property was much more dated than what the photos conveyed. The location was good with nice views, but the property itself had few issues that were not great for us:
- No hot tub even though it was originally listed as having one - owner has since taken it off the listing - might've just been a mistake
- First main floor had a strong curry / cooked spices smell - while basement was better but still had a little bit of new paint smell.
- Windows/screens were dirty, had holes, or partially broken - this mattered because we were trying to air out the smell but really couldn't leave it open for long so bugs/flies don't come in.
- While main kitchen and parts of bathrooms were new - most of the furniture and house were very dated and basic. There was even water dripping that clearly had been going on for awhile that left a big mark on the sofa.
- Note the beach that is walkable is not really swimmable - but that's probably known for most people.
Net net - for maybe 2 families who want basic place to stay / sleep and have separation (upstairs and downstairs) this might be a good fit, and some people might find the pleasant views and location outweigh the quality of the house itself - but it was not for us for the price paid.
This house was a very good match for my family of 4.
-Great communication with the owner… and even better, no real need to communicate with the owner. Shay contacted me before I even got on my flight (out of state travelers) to give me the directions to enter the property. The home was easy to find and has designated parking right in front. Once inside, the home has a book of useful information about the property and the surrounding area.
-the home is clean and had most of the things that you’d expect.
-Accurate listing. The description of the property and the photos are accurate. It’s a beautiful home with amazing views. One side of the house does share a wall but the inside and outside feel isolated. The interior is casual/eclectic, not fussy, nor pretentious. (For the parents) I didn’t have to move baubles to higher places. If you want fancy/luxury, this is not it. The exterior sliding doors and shower door are a little wonky.
-comfortable bedding
-I love when a house has books.
-I also like that the only tv was in the game room downstairs.
-Kids: The kid’s room has some toys and books, which was a really nice treat for my littles. They also really liked that there was a tiny dining table for them. The play set was definitely enjoyed. The back and front yard are fenced and I felt safe having a 3 and 6 yr play in them. Balcony also felt safe for children.
-there was plenty of space to host local family for dinner
With two levels of living space overlooking the Long Island Sound it was the perfect space and backdrop for all the prep and merriment for our daughter’s wedding at Giorgio’s on Saturday. I also totally enjoyed relaxing and unwinding the deck on Sunday evening with a spectacular sunset!
Our family had a fantastic July 4th weekend staying at this property. Not only the house has a game room with pool table and air hockey table, the rental house also came with kayaks and one paddle board for the guests to use. Our favorite place to hang out is the beautiful newly renovated kitchen/dining room and the patio that has the best view of the sunset. We can't wait to go back!
Great family vacation house with amazing views of the sound. House is well equipped with supplies, games, water activities etc….
Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Stay
This house was exactly what we wanted and as described. Beautiful views of the water and other ample space for everyone to spread out. We came in with our two kids and in-laws and everyone had space to move around and lots of room to play and hang out.
The owners were fantastic and super helpful and we can't wait to come back for another visit.

Great for families with toddlers
We stayed at Shay's for 4 nights with three families and 4 toddlers. The house is spacious and kid friendly equipped with gates/toys/crib/toddler bed. The beach was a short walk away, a bit pebbly but quiet and calm water.
We visited this lovely house early in the season and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet surroundings and stunning view of the LI Sound. The house was well supplied and the rustic beach community made for a relaxing getaway. The beds were very comfortable and did I mention the view?? We found a great little Italian pizzeria closeby, Marinellis, with amazing Italian food and walked down the 100 steps to the nearby beach. The whole family enjoyed it!
Our family enjoyed our time at this property. The views are wonderful from inside and outside the property. There was enough room for all of us comfortably, and check in was very easy. The biggest negative would be the beds are very uncomfortable. I would suggest upgrading or adding some foam mattresses.
We had a baby, toddler and a work from home situation. There was enough space to nap kids and still enjoy visiting with adult family. The deck was wonderful providing scenic water views. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed walking around. Grocery store, deli markets and ice cream shop a short drive away.
