The check-in process and communication couldn't have been easier. The property was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. Conveniently located a walkable distance from Love Lane and a short drive from wineries (which is what brought us to the area)
We had a really nice time at the Barnes' property. There are two bedrooms with two bathrooms in the main house. Just as a warning, the bed in one of the rooms is extremely high, but there is a step stool for getting in and out. The kitchen is well stocked. The second bathroom is off the kitchen. We had everything we needed and the owners were very responsive. My son stayed in the cottage with a space heater, but it was really too cold for this time of year. He could have used a few more blankets. My only minor complaint was there were no bars of soap for showering anywhere. Bring your own.Otherwise, it was a perfect stay and we will probably stay there again for the next family event.
The hosts were very accommodating and adjusted arrival and departure times to meet our needs. In part, I think that our coming during a less popular time of year made this possible. Also, they answered all our questions promptly.
Great location, beautiful outdoor space and bonus cottage!
This is a wonderful property. Very clean, enjoyable backyard with plenty of space and nice pool. The cottage is adorable and a great bonus space. Sean and Colleen are great hosts, very responsive.
the property was beautiful, close to all the wineries. We had a great time celebrating a birthday. Host was great! responded right away when we had a question.
Host was very friendly and available. Home was clean, pool was a major plus. We had everything we needed for a lovely week in Mattituck. Easily accesible to vineyards, farms and restaurants. Would stay here again.
This spot is where you want to be if you love the chill North Fork vibe and small town feelings from Mattituck to Orient Point.
We will be back- actually we wish we were still there!! :)
It was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy our little family reunion. The pool wasnât open yet, and the weather was a little chilly, but the spacious back deck was a great place to gather for an afternoon glass of wine.
It was only a 5 minute walk to the beach area on the bay and less than a 5 minute drive to a grocery store, drug store, restaurants, and more.
Although only 90 minutes from the city, Shawn and Colleen's home felt like an oasis many miles away. Our family ranges in age from 4 to 75 and we were able to hang out together comfortably to bbq or watch a movie, or spread out for a bit of quiet time (or a nap). The pool was also a life saver during a late summer heat wave. We can't wait to return next year!
Beautiful house, lots of space, and really close to the center of Mattituck
We had a wonderful time staying at the house! Great common spaces, lots of places for people to sleep, great kitchen with lots of cutlery, and it was really conveniently located near the center of Mattituck. One slight inconvenience was that there wasnât heat for the cottage (no fuel), and so it was a bit chilly at night, but definitely manageable. Definitely recommend others to stay at this house!
This is a nice house, very close to the beach, with a great back yard. The owners are very responsive to questions. It is on a quiet street. We have two small kids and this house worked well.
Like a Summer Resort without all the extra guests!
Marie had a wonderful time at your property. The property and the grounds were well-maintained and the pool was much larger than we had anticipated. The house was very clean and the master bed was extra large and so comfortable. We also enjoyed the local restaurants- especially Case's Place and Legends. Shawn was especially helpful with any questions we had. We hope to be back next summer!
Nice, quiet, well appointed home in a great neighborhood. Never got the wifi to work which may have been due to area issues and some tech glitch, but hosts were nice enough to discount our added night due to bad weather that extended our planned stay. Having spent time in Mattituck when young, it was great to see all the changes and revisit some favorite spots. Would stay again if/when we decide to return to L.I.
The house is in a great and convenient area - right down the block from a nice sand beach (and beautiful Camp Mineola), near Love Lane, wineries and other beaches. The pool and backyard are fantastic! We spent our days relaxing by the pool, BBQing and taking walks down to the beach for a swim. Their are loads of fun pool toys as well. There is also a bocci court in the backyard which was a lot of fun. The main house was very nice and roomy for our family (2 adults and 1 child) and it was great to have 2 full bathrooms. The house has everything you need, including a well stocked kitchen and pool toys. Shawn and Colleen were very accessible and helpful when a couple of questions came up. We had a wonderful time at this house!
We've been vacationing on the North Fork for several years, and Shawn and Colleen's home is by far the best house we've stayed in. The pool was a lifesaver-- my kids spent about 8 hours a day swimming and then slept like logs every night. We played ping-pong in the (giant) pool house and ate a grilled dinner every night on the deck. Of course, we left the house a few times for some Magic Fountain ice cream. The grown-ups played bocce while the kids roasted marshmallows. The beach is a short walk down the road. Swimming in the Peconic Bay is delightful-- it's shallow and fairly warm, with little fish swimming everywhere. The house is beautiful, perfect for a comfortable and relaxing stay with the whole family. We definitely plan to come gain next year!
This was the perfect place for our family and friends for a week in the summer. So nice to have a relaxing vacation with our newborn and a couple friends. My husband's parents were happy staying in the pool house so they had their own space. It was so great to have the option of pool and beach. Loved lying out, playing, BBQing all day by the pool with walks to the small beach for a little dip in the bay. It was also nice to walk to the marina around the corner.
The location is great for wine tasting trips and Love Lane. And of course all the great farms and restaurants in the area.
The dining room was nice if it was too hot out for lunch or dinner and loved having a big den with the TV to chill out in.
Shawn was very responsive and helpful, thank you for sharing your home with us! We already planned our next trip there at the end of the month and hope to come back again soon after that!
We just had such a wonderful time at Shawn and Colleen's lovely home. It truly feels like they have welcomed you into their home, and it is very easy to love being on the North Fork. The house is spotless, comfortable and perfect for a friends or family get away. It provides even more space than we expected, given the pool house. It truly is everything that you want.
We spent many days walking to the bay (enjoying the private beach), and then back to the pool in the afternoon. The outdoor space is wonderful! Plus, we ended up tossing on sneaks, and walking to Love Lane Market (~1.0 miles), which is fantastic. The house is very conveniently located to Love Lane and all it has to offer. Of course, the house is also perfectly located to get to many of the prime wineries.
My 3 year old nephew said it best, when he said, "I want to come back to the North Fork, AND I want to come back to this exact house!". ENJOY!

Very happily retired Air Force couple. Looking to provide a quiet getaway for friends and family. Our hope is that you will make wonderful, lasting memories.
We fell in love with the property the first time we set eyes on it. The quiet beach just a three minute walk, the pool, deck, and cottage provide space to enjoy precious moments with friends and family. Just a short walk to Mattituck Village with coffee shops, restaurants, antiques, boutiques, and more.
