Heated pool on Goose Creek, private dock, massive yard walk to beach, wineries

Beautiful property that exceeded expectations. Pros: lovely heated pool, spacious deck, all modern and clean, tastefully decorated, home office if you need to do a bit of work, completely equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, fast wi-fi, powerful & quiet central A/C, located on a quiet street but still 2 miles from excellent dining in Southold, enclosed backyard which is private and beautifully landscaped. A gem!

We loved this house so much. It was so hard to leave. It has a high-end vibe but is also very user-friendly. It accommodated all of our needs with the pool and dock for our boat and lots of dining areas for family meals with fresh caught fish. Jeff was super responsive at all times. We are hoping to go back next summer. We wish we could have stayed longer.

We spent two weeks at this property in the summer with our kids. The location could not be better - we absolutely loved being close to everything in Southold and having water access with the dock. The pool and the yard were ideal for our kids. Our son fished off the dock for hours. There were quite a few disappointments during our stay though. Two major appliances didn't work during our stay and we dealt with a repair man at the house for a total of about 12 hours across 4 different days. We sort of felt like the repair man James was on our vacation with us. The pool heater didn't work for the first half of our stay, two of the paddle boards were missing their stabilizing fins, rendering them basically broken (although my husband was able to repair one with a toolkit he found in the garage), and there's an enormous, unsightly stain on the couch. When we checked in, the fridge and pantry were both completely full of the previous tenant's half eaten food. The kitchen is missing basic items like a tablespoon, a teaspoon, a whisk, a meat thermometer, an ice cream scoop... basic items that you assume a kitchen would have. And in general, there just seems to be a lot of wear and tear on the house, furnishings, bedding, etc. I was ready to come home at the end of the trip, let's put it that way. Jeff was very apologetic about the appliance issues and we didn't really bother him with anything else because we were trying to make the most of the situation.

The house was perfect! The location is only minutes away from downtown Southold and 15 minutes from Greenport. My husband and I were by ourselves for the first half of the week and there was space for each of us to work in different areas so we weren't disturbing each other. The other 4 adults came at the end of the week and we all fit comfortably. The open layout of the kitchen, great room, dining area allowed us to host a gathering of 12 family members for dinner. The kitchen was well appointed with everything that was needed. It was the perfect space for everyone to be able to spend time with each other.

The pictures don‘t do justice. In reality the house is even more beautiful. The beauty of the house lies in all the small details, for example the most comfortable beds, the awning, the lovely garden ( picturesque hydrangeas),the pool, the high quality bedding and overall the tasteful decoration.

This property was ideal for us visiting friends in Southold. It's also close to all the vineyards, Greenport and Shelter Island which we visited via ferry en route to Sag Harbour. The property is well equipped for self catering and the deck is lovely overlooking the creek. We had a few issues with the internet on arrival but Jeff kept in touch and sorted the problem. If we visit Southold again we will definitely consider this property as Jeff has plans to update and renovate parts of the property.

I agree with all the previous reviews. Jeff is great, the house has the old North Fork charm. It was very warm the first week in September, so we had to use the AC and it was great. The only downside is getting to the beach. Luckily we were their after Labor Day so no passes were required at the beach a short drive away . Maybe a canoe would work better against the current ( 2 person). We did get out to Goose creek on the kayaks, but the bay thru the channel would have been very difficult. But a lovely home. Clean and comfortable. Perfectly located I have already told Jeff that an outdoor shower, a firepit and a few bikes would be great additions.

Nice location, quiet neighborhood Sitting down on the floating dock at sunset was perfect.

First, let me say that Jeff is terrific! He was easy to deal with and always quick to respond to any questions or issues. As far as our stay, we had a wonderful experience at Jeff and Melissa's home. The home was immaculate when we arrived. Although it could use some updates, it was quite comfortable for 5 adults. We totally enjoyed the large backyard, the dock and the covered deck (be careful of splinters)! While you shouldn't expect to swim or fish on the creek, you must take advantage of the two kayaks and two paddle boards - its a blast. The location of the home could not have been better. Located in a quiet neighborhood, we were within 15-20 minutes of Greenport, any of the popular vineyards and several beaches. One important note about the beaches: do not expect to visit any Southold beaches unless you are a Southold resident. State beaches are accessible but tend to be very rocky. Although it costs $35 to park, we wound up enjoying South Jamestown Beach three days. Its about 20 minutes away but easy to find. It wasn't as rocky as most and had clean bathrooms and showers. Book with Jeff and Melissa, you won't regret it!

The house was very dated but very clean. It is close to Southold town and greenport. The beaches are not that close and we were not allowed to get passes. We could only go to the public beach which is very rocky. It is hard to kayak against the current to the sandy beach. The deck is rotted in a few places and the BBQ didn't work properly bc it was very dirty. It is very buggy in the backyard bc of the creek. Overall we enjoyed our stay bc it was so close to everything.
