They are super helpful and sweet. Dhela can give you tips of cool restaurants and places to visit. We had 4 people in our party and it was more than enough space. Staying here was a highlight of our trip, and I can’t stop telling people about it. I’d recommend it to anyone. Hope to come back and stay here again."

Price Per Night: $500 (or $50 per person) *
Group Vacationers: "We had an amazing stay at Becca and Justin’s manor! We had 10 girls for a bachelorette party, there was plenty or room and sleeping spots for everyone. A few girls stayed upstairs in the “hangout room” and they said they were surprised at how comfortable the mattresses on the floor were. We also didn’t have an issue with there only being 2 bathrooms, one bathroom has a long vanity and double sinks so there was plenty of space for primping. We made breakfast and dinner at home one day. The pantry is already stocked with the basics (olive oil, salt, pepper, spices, sugar, coffee, etc.) so don’t worry about buying things like that. Honestly the photos don’t capture how stylish the decor is, it’s quirky/eclectic and super inviting. The backyard was larger than expected, unfortunately we didn’t take advantage of the outdoor fire pit or dining table (I wish we had more time!). The location was perfect. We didn’t explore the neighborhood much, but the house is within walking distance to a coffee shop, taco truck and drugstore."

The beds were amazingly comfortable in every bedroom (not always the case in houses we’ve stayed in previously). Everything was sparklingly clean and looked brand new. The pool was large and well maintained, and the hot tub was enormous. We had lovely water views to a bird nesting area on the bay beach. There were bikes, kayaks, and paddle boards galore. The Springs area of East Hampton is quiet and relatively unspoiled; you could almost forget that it was high season in the Hamptons. Benjamin was extremely responsive to all of our requests. All in all, a relaxing and luxurious week away."

For several weeks leading up to the trip, Olga was extremely responsive and reliable whenever we had a question or needed a suggestion (restaurants, beach clubs, transportation, etc.). I was actually surprised by how much she went above and beyond – her and her team even organized private massages for us at the house! Once on site, Ari and Daniela were amazing house managers. They too went above and beyond with various requests/assistance. Daniela knows the town well and always had ideas of places for us to go. The house itself is stunning – we were very impressed and loved the simple yet stylish decor! Thank you all for such a great stay!"

The house is well stocked with everything needed to prepare a meal. We especially enjoyed the BBQ and beautiful yard. Coming from our apartment in NYC, the yard, hammock, and fire pit were a special treat to enjoy lounging in a serene, relaxing location. We love the town of Greenport and enjoyed the house’s proximity to all of our favorite happy hours and restaurants. We also rented bikes (that were delivered to/picked up from the house) and enjoyed riding around town, to the beach, and to the wineries. We look forward to returning!"
