Very comfortable space & accomodating host! Fantastic views of Northport Harbour and steps away from the water's edge! Would return and strongly recommend.
I enjoyed my stay here. The cottage was snug but clean. My host was friendly and helpful.
( Actually gave me a pound of really good coffee)
Northport is a very pretty village with lots of interesting shops and art galleries as well as a Playhouse with surprisingly excellent talent.
Overwhelming bad mildew and mold smell and bugs, but lovely deck on the water
The mold/mildew smell was so overwhelming that it gave both of us horrible headaches. We could not sleep because of the odor. I killed 12 bugs when I arrived. And numerous more during my stay. A bug was crawling on my daughter as she sat on the futon. I bought cleaning supplies and cleaned twice, but the bugs and smell prevailed. I asked to leave and get a refund for the unused nights only. The owner denied this request so we attempted one more day after which we checked out early. The space is tiny and cramped. The bed is a very uncomfortable futon. I have had nicer accommodations camping.
Very tiny space. Tiny shower. And Iâm a tiny person. The host attempted to rectify the smell by bringing me air fresheners as requested, but I believe the mold smell was coming from the walls and floors so the poor air quality continued. An exterminator was needed for the bugs.
The property is in a perfect location to visit Northport on foot and has amazing views of the harbor as you are directly on the water. Main Street of Northport and the main dock and the main park with all its shops is an easy 2 minute walk from the place.
The gorgeous pictures are true - believe them (sister skeptics!)! This seaside cottage is so lovely and peaceful, the setting is private and serene. I grew up on LI, left in 1999, and was back for a family wedding. This seaside cottage in Northport is quintessential Long Island, among the best (at a relatively affordable price) that LI has to offer. The hosts are super helpful and respectful, Northport is a charming town with lots to offer. I loved the Purple Elephant for vegetarian and vegan options. Fresh air, beautiful waterfront setting, peace and tranquility -- doesnât get much better! Many thanks to host Richard for all his kindness. Cant wait to return!!
