Thereâs an old film from the 1960s, Brigadoon, where a magical village appears for just one day before vanishing again. Staying at The Lindsey feels a bit like thatâso perfect, so improbable, you wonder if it exists once you leave.The backyard is the heart of this home. Mornings began with coffee in an Adirondack chair overlooking a private park-like lawn. The crystal-clear saltwater pool is surrounded by loungers, umbrellas, and even two submerged chairs for reading while you cool off. From morning to evening, the patio offered something for everyoneâlunches by the Weber grill, sâmores around the fire pit, and hot tub soaks under the stars.Inside, the house is spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The primary suite features a large spa-like shower, while additional bedrooms easily accommodated our family. The kitchen is fully stocked and opens to a casual family room with a big sectional and smart TV. We also enjoyed the elegant dining room, the sunny breakfast nook (which became our Lego HQ), and the garage with a second fridge, pool table, and dartboard.The biggest surprise was Wading River itself. Sunflower fields, farm stands, and a calm, timeless atmosphere made it feel worlds away from the bustle of the Cape or Berkshiresâeven in peak season. The Lindsey isnât just a vacation rentalâitâs a place where mornings spill into long afternoons, and nights stretch happily into memory. Thatâs if it exists at all â until next year!
