About the host
Hosted by Jacob Sheehan
I am a military officer that has traveled the world, but Long Island has all my favorite things in one place: lobsters, fishing, the beach, quality family time, and an opportunity to get away from it all.
Why they chose this property
I married my wife on Fowler's beach on Long Island in 2012. In other words, I married into Long Island and I'm so glad I did! Even though we move around the world as a military family, we wanted a property on Long Island so we would always have a place to return every summer.
What makes this property unique
We decided on this property because it is on the southwestern portion of the Long Island which is walking distance to South Beach, one of the most pristine beaches in Maine. We also love the screened porch where we love to sit and entertain family and friends over steamed lobsters. Additionally the property is situated right next to tennis and basketball courts, as well as a playground for children.
