Ocean House

Ocean House is approximately 85 minutes from Midtown Manhattan by car via the Long Island Expressway or Northern State Parkway. From JFK Airport it's about 80 minutes, and from LaGuardia Airport around 75 minutes. Unlike the Hamptons, you're heading northeast on roads that most weekend traffic ignores — no Friday gridlock.

Ocean House has 5 bedrooms and comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests. It's ideal for family vacations, multi-generational trips, friend reunions, and group getaways. The open layout and multiple outdoor spaces give everyone room to spread out.

Yes, Ocean House welcomes well-behaved dogs. The private beach is a wonderful spot for dogs to run and play. Past guests have loved bringing their pets — the calm waters of the Sound and the secluded grounds make it an ideal pet-friendly vacation rental on Long Island.

Ocean House is beautiful year-round. Summer (June–August) is peak season for beach days and warm water swimming. Fall brings stunning foliage, North Fork wine harvest, and quieter beaches. Winter has its own magic — deer on the property, dramatic Sound views, and cozy evenings by the fire pit. Spring is the sweet spot for availability, mild weather, and off-peak rates.

The North Shore faces Long Island Sound with calm, swimmable waters — very different from the Atlantic surf on the South Shore. The vibe is quieter, more residential, and significantly less trafficked. There are no $25 cocktails or velvet ropes. Instead, you get charming harbor villages like Port Jefferson, local farm stands, and a pace of life that feels genuinely relaxed. The drive from Manhattan is also faster with far less weekend congestion.

Port Jefferson is 10 minutes away — a walkable harbor village with restaurants, shops, a brewery, and ferry service to Connecticut. The North Fork wine country (Bedell Cellars, Kontokosta, Sparkling Pointe) is 45 minutes east. Wildwood State Park has 600 acres of forest with hiking trails on bluffs above the Sound. Stony Brook Village has the Long Island Museum. The area also offers kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing charters, and excellent local dining.

Absolutely. The calm waters of Long Island Sound are much gentler than Atlantic ocean beaches, making them ideal for young swimmers. The private beach means no crowds or competing for space. Many families return year after year — one guest came back for a second stay specifically because her two young boys loved it so much. The hosts also provide thoughtful family-friendly touches like beach toys and local treats.

Yes — the sunsets are one of the most remarked-upon features in guest reviews. The North Shore faces north and west across Long Island Sound, which means you get dramatic sunset views directly over the water from both the elevated fire pit deck and the private beach. Guests consistently describe the evening light as one of the highlights of their stay.

Minimum stay requirements vary by season. Summer weekends typically require a 2–3 night minimum. Weekdays, off-season, and last-minute bookings may be available for shorter stays. Check our Airbnb listing for current availability, or email visit@ocean.house for flexible booking options.
