I spent two weeks at the house with my husband and three kids (infant, 3, 5). We've rented a few times on the North Fork and this was our best experience to date. The location is just amazing-- we woke up every morning to a beautiful sunrise, the sound of the waves, and ended each night with a spectacular sunset. We spent hours watching boats on the Sound and spectacular stars at night.

The kitchen and living room are open and airy, and the decor feels warm without being stuffy or cluttered. (Key with little kids-- I didn't spend my vacation yelling 'don't touch!'). The photographs on the listing are accurate, and even sell it short. Things were clean and the house is very well stocked-- there was nothing I looked for and missed. We loved the pool and I was happy that it was very well fenced in (the interior doors to the pool require two adult hands to open). There was plenty of wood for the outdoor fire pit.

We spent time at Orient State Park and got a Southold beach pass by brining our lease to town hall, which opened up lots of other beaches (and a few sandy bay beaches). The drive to Greenport was about 20 min, so some planning was required, but we did well with the Fork and Anchor in East Marion and General Store in Orient (great sandwiches at both!)

Gary was responsive throughout and very easy to communicated with. We were very sad to leave this beautiful spot and return to the real world!
