Southampton, New York
"Spacious charm" suggests the delights of this unique, roomy (4,000 sf, 5BR/5.5 bath), historic “Shingle Style” hillside home on 3.7 acres, with spectacular views of Shinnecock Bay (a safe 2-minute walk to beach). All bathrooms have been recently renovated, and there is a new cook’s kitchen, paneled Living Room w/fireplace and grand piano, TV/rec room (HD cable and wireless internet included), two Bay-view verandas for dining or cocktails, A/C in all bedrooms, ample outdoor lawns for relaxation or play, and a lovely sheltered brick patio for sunning and barbecues. A firepit with picnic table and rustic benches off the back lawn is a favorite with our guests for roasting marshmallows and just hanging out with friends.
Children love the rambling spaces and seemingly endless nooks and crannies of the house. Perfect for entertaining your weekend guests, yet with no lack of charming “hideaways” for those who’d prefer to escape to a quiet corner for a while.
Must be seen to be appreciated. No shared rentals, please.
I was looking for a unique, comfortable home for a girls trip to the Hamptons, and this property blew me away! It's very very large and we did not feel cramped at all even with 9 adults. Despite the home's age, the air conditioning worked beautifully. It is such a unique, lovable home and we enjoyed noticing a new piece of artwork or detail every time we entered a room. Very pleased with our stay.
unique, captivating, obviously full of history
Beautiful 100+ year old home on large secluded property. Perfect for large family gathering. Many sitting areas inside and outside. Overall great. A couple room a/c units need replacing. Beware, lots of ticks outside.
Plenty of space and amazing location.
Our stay at Sugarloaf Cottage was great. The house looks exactly as advertised. It’s a very large house that’s over 100 years old but has all of the modern conveniences. My family and I loved the fire pit and we had our morning coffee everyday out on the veranda. The owner was very pleasant to work with. He responded almost immediately to all of my emails and made sure we were happy with house. I would definitely rent this house again.
This house is very special – it has a long history and a tremendous amount of character. We very much enjoyed staying there for the whole month of July with our family. Our young girls loved its nooks and crannies (and the outdoor fire pit for making smores) and it was convenient to not only Shinnecock Bay, at walking distance, but also to the Atlantic Ocean beaches, with Cooper’s Beach about 10 mins by car. At times, the rooms on the top floor got hot but the AC (available in each bedroom) helped, and a new, large AC unit on the main floor was very effective. It is an old, charming house, well lived-in (with great shelves of books), well-equipped, which we found to be as advertised. We felt like it was a privilege to have the ability to experience this special place. We found the owners to be extremely responsive to any query we had and very helpful.
This place is awesome! Conveniently located to a bunch of great beaches, Southampton town and Hampton Bays town. The grounds of the property are perfect for lawn games, and the many decks are ideal for cocktail hour for the sunset! The house was clean and overall the trip was great. Communication with the host was also seamless.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay in this house. This is more than 100 years old historical house and we understood that the atmosphere is quite different from staying in modern hotels or newly developed houses. First of all, there is no air conditioner in the house. It was a hot day when we arrived and the house was 92 F. It took several hours to feel comfortable in staying inside of house. The following days were cooler and we did not have such problem. The second thing is a room door knob. We were locked in the master bed room on the first floor and we needed to ask someone to open the door from the outside. It was as if the house was scaring us. Otherwise, it was enjoyable experience. Starry sky was incredible and we enjoyed watching deers passing by the yard. We appreciated the owner spent a lot of time to maintain this old house.
I rented this house for out of town family to stay in during our wedding weekend. We had so much fun exploring the property, and fire pit was a big hit. The grounds and views are beautiful. It is (as advertised) an old house, but if you like charm and character like we do, you will absolutely love this place. Thank you to the Freemans for providing our guests with your home for the weekend!
Large, historic home, but in need of some significant updating and upkeep. Unfortunately in this old beauty, which is heavily wooded, we had to deal with subpar a/c & water pressure, insects, dust and animal smells. This could be a true gem in Southampton, but it needs some work.
