About this property

Waterfront & private beach Scandinavian style house near Bellport, NY


Scandinavian-style house, private beach near Bellport, NY

A few steps outside the front door is our private sandy beach on Long Island’s Great South Bay – perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing in warm clean waters.

A huge nature preserve surrounds this property to the east. From the elevated wraparound deck, you will see breathtaking views of waving reeds, birdlife, pristine shoreline and a vast sky. That deck also provides front-row seats to the summer sailing regattas from Bellport’s yacht club.

This unique vacation home has overlooked its bay for 100 years and has been lovingly renovated with a Scandinavian flair.

The result is comfortable, casual, efficient and fully modern – while maintaining its authentic seaside feel.

New York City is only 60 miles away – but you’ll feel like you’re in a different universe. This is the last house on a short shoreline road that connects to a quiet family neighborhood.

You will have privacy, quiet, and direct access to water and nature. No traffic. No nearby noise. Just the gentle lapping of waves.

You will also be a short drive (or bike ride) from the charming town of Bellport –restaurants, library, groceries and the shopping fun of quirky boutiques.

Interior arrangements:

• The upper level bedroom has a king-sized bed, its own bathroom, and unique views. Lounge area with comfortable chairs and TV.
• The second bedroom, with queen-sized bed, is on the ground floor.
• The twin trundle daybed sits in the ground-floor alcove, shielded by a privacy partition.
• The second bathroom is on the lower level.
• The entryway has a full-size daybed -- perfect for relaxing as the sea breeze drifts in through screens. Lower level living room with TV.
• A large patio / deck sits just outside the kitchen on the ground floor – perfect for charcoal grilling and outdoor dining.

This unique getaway is available for longer stays and all year around, including holidays. Early bookings prevent disappointment. Contact me for additional information.

Thank you for your interest.

Serene and picturesque

Property beautifully situated on dead end of quiet street right on bay, surrounded by marshes. The balcony was heaven to spend morning hours drinking coffee and evening hours watching the sunset, as well as wild life. Host was kind and great with communication

This place was so relaxing! The views on the large deck was amazing to wake up to each morning and to sit out at night . There was everything you could possibly want at the place . My only regret was not using the kayak or canoe or floats in the water . Our dog Charlie enjoyed it too

The house and surroundings are beautiful and quiet. Six of our family stayed there and enjoyed how relaxing and restorative it was. The kitchen is quite large with tables for eating inside & outside. The deck has a wonderful view of the bay which is adjacent to the property. It’s a short drive to a very nice beach & family owned farmers’ market. We will definitely return when possible!

Magical property

Anita graciously accommodated a last minute booking due to an issue with another property I rented, and I could not be more grateful. Her property was absolutely phenomenal. The location, the house, the views, the serenity….all perfect. My partner and his best friend had the best time ever, and it’s all thanks to Anita’s magical property!

Perfect spot for a very relaxing weekend

The owner was gracious and the home was well laid out and organized with everything you'd want for a relaxing weekend of sun and sea breeze. It was extremely private and we thoroughly enjoyed the water access as well as the sea breeze and sun on the wrap around deck. Great place!! Loved it.

3 days vacation

The house is not in the water how they are showing in the pictures it’s a road in the middle and also was no sand on the beach side also so many bushes need to be removed between road and bushes barely you can’t see anything you have to go on second floor of the house to see the ocean it wasn’t worth it to pay all that money

Lovely Quiet Peaceful Charming !!

At the end of the dead end road - right on the bay - this cottage is a lovely get away for those seeking a simple quiet place to enjoy the breezes and sunsets, and quiet time with family and friends. Just a quick 9 mile drive to Smith Point beach, access to food stores and farm markets. Anita is a charming and gracious hostess, responsive and helpful. Just a wonderful time - and we will be a return renter !

Bay Vacation

We loved the location and the decks. We enjoyed the sunrise, sunset and moon rise on the same day and multiple days. Kayaking was easy and enjoyable from the bay. Upper floor was great as was the well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the charcoal grill and the back deck for dinners. First floor was a little musty but ok. Weather was perfect so we had windows open during the entire stay. Larger bed and door would have been good for the third bedroom but it worked for us.

Family long weekend meet up

This was a nice property for our family gathering, all of us coming in from different parts of the north east. We enjoyed meals on the back deck and enjoyed sunsets from the top deck. Kitchen had all the amenities we needed and the grill on the deck worked great. Anita met me at check in and walked through the property. The private beach across the street was nice. The bugs were annoying so bring your bug spray (also supplied by Anita). Loved the privacy at the end of the street. Listing and pictures are accurate and we enjoyed our time!!

What a great vacation rental

This was a great place for our visit. We were there, not to vacation, but visit a sick family member, so unfortunately, we didn't get to take much advantage of the bbq, kayaks, etc. We did get to take a quick swim in the bay and it was lovely and had a couple walks along the beach. It is definitely an older home, in a very humid area, so some of the doors are hard to open or close, but that is to be expected. Anita was there to meet us and explain where things were and was so open to taking any questions during our stay. Plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, etc.; the fridge was spotlessly clean; dishwasher is old, but works. A/C in each room, not only kept the place cool, but let everyone keep their room to their liking. Pillows were the best I've ever slept on and the beds were very comfortable. We loved the upstairs porch and never saw so many dragonflies in my life. Also had deer in the yard one morning. Just a sweet, comfortable, traditional beach house. I'd stay again and longer if I could.

Disappointed & Bummed out

The views are wonderful! Home is stocked with all you could need to enjoy your stay. But the home is full of mold and the odor is unpleasant. And I am being nice. The water must be well water and needs attention because it smells like rotten eggs. And the showers have no water pressure at all. The home is damp and the A/C units in the windows make the home damper. The driveway and parking was an issue. I never leave bad reviews but for the amount of money I payed this home is not worth it. It was not comfortable and I am totally bummed out. And I am sorry to feel this way.

Unforgettable Weekend

We had a wonderful time at this magical place. The seaside air is amazing and the views of sea, sky, and wetlands are extraordinary. The house is cozy and well-stocked with comfortable bedding, ample kitchen utensils, and various toys for floating or paddling in the Great South Bay. We especially loved the upstairs living/sleeping area. It is full sunlight and fresh air, affords panoramic views, and provides a deeply relaxing atmosphere for a good night’s sleep. We watched the sun rise and set from the wraparound deck on this level, while listening to the gentle waves of the bay lapping at the beach. If you can pull yourself away from all this, the village of Bellport is charming, and there is a terrific fish market in Mastic. Anita is a wonderful and responsive host and this private oasis is a great place to unwind and recharge. It really embodies the Scandinavian concept of “hygge”. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return!

A lot to love + a few things to know

This is a tough review to write. I wish I could give it 5 stars with so much to love: the fabulous location and house design -- a wrap-around deck on the waterfront where you can watch the sun and moon rise and set...a peaceful sanctuary is just what we were looking for. The house is clean, full of cool art and relics, and stocked with pretty much everything you need, except ice and water. We noticed that others here recommended bringing in your own water, and glad we did, as the well has a bad smell. But it wasn't really a problem. Anita, the host, is very responsive and cordial. The local neighbors were friendly and helpful. We even heard the local wild peacock the first night we arrived! The big issue with this home is the air quality. It is an old house by the sea, so I guess it's not a surprise that it has a musty smell. I thought we could get used to it, but several members of our family have asthma, so it became a real problem by Day 2. My husband didn't mind it, so, if you aren't sensitive to mold or have lung issues, then it probably won't bother you. We had to spend a lot of time on the deck, but that wasn't a problem since they have a bunch of really comfy chairs to lounge on. (We did notice the upper deck wobbles when you walk on it and that made me a bit nervous) The house is definitely in need of some TLC in terms of maintenance, but it is one of the coolest homes I have spent time in. Would be great for a group of friends or couples. I imagine the owners had a lot of fun in this home over the years -- I heard stories of a beach club and neighborhood clam bakes that harkens back to its glory days. The marshes and bay waters are beautiful and endless, though there's not much of a beach -- it feels more like a lake. The yard is nice and the kids played in the grass. We went to Fire Island to the beach to swim about 20 mins away. It was nice there and they have a bar/restaurant on the beach. All in all: a home with great bones, a great location but not great air quality, even with all the windows open on a cool, beautiful day. If you don't mind that, then you will love this unique home and nature sanctuary.

Magic

Our little getaway was magical courtesy of owner Anita who checked us in with her sweetheart pooch. My husband and our 13 yr old lab, Eva, enjoyed breathtaking sunrise to sunset views of the bay and fire island. Wonderful seafood from nearby Mastic. There was no reason to leave the house. We had friends in one night and rushed back from others in East Hampton to relax and enjoy our piece of heaven as the sun went down. We can’t wait to go back!
