Shinnecock Hills Retreat --

I had a wonderful stay at this property. It was my husband, myself and my son (and dog) staying there and the size was just perfect for us. It was also perfect to be able to invite family members that came over to visit as well. My dog loved the property and the areas were perfect for her to roam with a nice area away from the pool for her to “do her business.”. The pool and deck in the back is gorgeous and served as a wonderful entertaining area. With plenty of space, seating and umbrellas for shade. The pool is actually situated perfectly for sun through early afternoon, but not too much sun, it’s just right. When I first arrived there were a few questions I had and things to work out and Nancy was highly responsive taking care of things immediately. In addition, Nancy followed up when I had left an item at the house which was very kind. I’d definitely stay at this lovely property again. Thank you so much!

Just got back from a 3 week stay with my family (wife + 3kids + dog). Upon arrival through check-out Nancy and John were very responsive and had open communication throughout our stay. The backyard was perfect for the entire family. Pool + hot tub were great for the kids! Yard is completely fenced in with plenty of room for the dog to run around as well as for the kids to play on the lawn. The house was very comfortable for all of us to lounge around playing board games and sleeping. Location was a huge plus for us giving the proximity to South Hampton, Sag Harbor, and North Fork area. Plenty of great restaurants in Hampton Bays (cowfish, centro, rumba, canal cafe). Would definitely go back and appreciate Nancy and John making our vacation a wonderful experience!

Great home and great location. Just the right size for my two teens and their two friends and me. Backyard is beautiful and the pool and hot tub were fantastic! The teens were all raving about how comfortable their beds were. Had a couple of questions after John and Nancy left after our check-in and I received immediate responses. Would definitely go back! Thanks, Nancy!

Nice house for a small family with a heated pool, hot tub and proximity to all hamptons amenities.

The location of this property is ideal as everything you'd want or need is within reach! Two of the top beaches in the area are just a 15 minute drive away, and it's only quick 5 to the nearby stores. Both John and Nancy were very responsive to accommodate anything that came up throughout our stay.

Had my wife's parents and brother out from Chicago. The place was well suited for the six of us, and the location was good for getting to some beginning of Summer Hampton activities.

Nancy is incredibly unprofessional and dismissive. Our whole vacation was a nightmare. We even left a day early! We had 2 major issues. The tick problem in the yard is out of control. To find over 12 ticks on our dogs and numerous on ourselves is outrageous. We paid $500 extra for our dogs and only let them out 3x a day for a few mins at a time. We never would’ve brought them if we knew the ticks were so bad. Maybe it wouldn’t have been as bad if the lawn was mowed, manicured, and sprayed prior to our arrival. The grass was above our ankles - we had to ask them to get someone there to mow the lawn. We also had no AC for THREE days! To pay for a home with AC and then not have it for 3 days is unacceptable. Mind you I’m 8months pregnant and have a toddler. Nancy’s resolutions were to open the windows/doors, go in the pool, go to the beach, or go to a restaurant to “cool down”. Those suggestions are comical! It was 81 degrees in the house. Nancy kept saying an AC tech was going to come and they were not coming. We cancelled our plans for 2 evenings in a row and 1 whole day since she said they were coming multiple times. On evening #2 without AC, we moved our dinner plans since Nancy claimed they would be there between 4pm - 5pm. When they didn’t show, I proposed vacating early and a refund for the rest of our stay. Nancy did not even TRY to come to a resolution. She said she would send “a fan” (which we never received) and then hung up on me. Nancy was extremely difficult to communicate with, speaking over me and not letting me get a word in. When I had to talk louder in order to speak, she accused me of “attacking” her. She defamed my husband’s character calling him miserable because he has a pregnant wife and a toddler. Absolutely horrible. She refused to give us any sort of refund because it was her “high season” and she “cannot afford” to lose money. The issues we faced with no AC and the tick infestation should’ve fallen on HER as the property owner, not us the guests. The house is not maintained and is VERY lived in. The pics make it look 50x nicer. Sliding doors to the pool are janky and not working properly, the master bath is in serious need of an update, and the house is extremely cluttered with the owner’s belongings shoved in every nook and cranny. Nancy will respond to this review to make it seem like we are at fault. This is her M.O., look at other negative reviews she has received. She’s willing to take no responsibility!

Highly recommended- thank you for the great experience

we loved the location and the house. The backyard was lovely as well. Nancy was very responsive and made everything so easy

House was everything advertised online. We had a great 2 weeks there, it was everything we needed. Pool was great and heated. Owner was super responsive with any issues along the way. Would definitely return and recommend.
