Searching for a one-of-a-kind rental This charming upper-level apartment above the Northport Post Office could be perfect. Northport is rich in history and a delightful town. Post Office Box 1 is a spacious two-bedroom, one-bath unit with a walk-in shower. With 1200 sq ft of space, it never feels crowded. The apartment retains much of its original architecture, featuring towering ceilings and tall windows that offer fantastic views of Northport. Upon entering, guests are greeted by an open area leading to the kitchen and living room. The queen bedroom is off the dining area, and the king bedroom is adjacent to the living room. The king bedroom has a TV. The main living area includes a queen bed for extra sleeping space. Wall units provide air conditioning, and ceiling fans are installed in the bedrooms.

The kitchen boasts marble floors, stainless steel appliances, and ample room to cook. It includes a gas stove, dishwasher, and a separate laundry room with a washer and dryer. Off the kitchen is the dining area, which seats six. Walk down the hall to the living room and enjoy a space filled with entertainment options. Relax with some TV, cozy up by the gas fireplace, or listen to your favorite tunes on the high-quality BOSE radio. An additional seating area off the living room is perfect for board games or workspace. Internet is available. While there is no cable, ROKU and YouTube TV are provided. Rainy-day puzzles and games are also available. Northport Beach, Marina, and Park are just a block away.

    This place was amazing and so conveniently located. A very comfortable stay. Beds are firm though so if you don’t like firm beds I would bring a topper. Other than that I will definitely be staying here again

    This place is GREAT! You really have the top half of the building - front to back. It's very well put-together, it's a very comfy stay, the fireplace works great, the views are both scenic when you want and private with the window coverings they have. I can heartily recommend this place to anyone who handle a flight of stairs.

    The Post Office made for a lovely stay in Northport. The host/rental management was friendly, helpful, and responsive. The space more than met expectations. Looking forward to staying at the Post Office again.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We truly enjoyed the time spent at the Post Office Box 1 vacation rental in Northport in early July. The location was outstanding, within easy walking distance of the marina, lakefront park space, and downtown Northport. The rental has been beautifully renovated, with more space than expected and high end finishings & furniture. We are already looking forward to a return visit to this property!

    In the past, we often stayed in the remote location with 100% privacy so I was little concerned being in the center of village but the convenience of being at across from the grocery store, the gas station that we can order delicious pizza(!) and Northport Marina was priceless! Steps away for Friday farmers market and the concert in the parkThe unit is beautiful and spacious, very comfortable.After 9pm, the village becomes like a ghost town and perfectly quiet.Loved it here! Definitely will stay here again!

    We stayed over the 4th and had the greatest time. My kids loved the spacious apartment, and the ability to walk to the beach and park wherever we wanted. There isn't a lot of eating options though, we wished there was a place for breakfast, and everything closes early during the week - so we had some issues with that but thankfully Toms grocery was right there also. The only negatives about the apartment were that there was a smell coming from a closet - come to find out the mops were left in a plastic bag and in the bucket and not aired out and stunk horrible, and that the post office was a little loud especially from the back bedroom in the early morning. Other than that - our stay was amazing.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The space is enormous and well-appointed. It's about four minutes walking distance to the New Bohemian coffee shop - an excellent third place. There's quaint little bookstore with a surprising variety of books (I got a german language book on the history of cartography.)The stairs are steep, but the place is very quiet. The deadbolt to the outside has trouble locking when you leave but has no issue when you are in the for the evening. No, the Post Office doesn't go through this door - you lock it as you wish.I would definitely recommend this place for just about any stay in the area.

    We wished we had chosen this place originally! We were definitely glad we made the change. The place was immaculate. Tall ceilings, large rooms, and views of the harbor! We love all things Northport and this just added to it. It was great being able to walk to the harbor, shops, food, and grocery. Some may think a negative would be the mail being delivered downstairs early in the morning, but that didn't last long. The spare room bed was difficult to get out of and was a little uncomfortable. Overall it was worth every penny and we now have a hard decision to make as to where to stay next summer.
