Description Over the Bay: Long Island

With its own dock and a private beach, this home truly is an ocean lover's dream come true. When you head into the kitchen in the mornings to grab your coffee you’ll be greeted by views of the glittering sea directly on your doorstep. There are bikes and kayaks provided, so you'll have everything you need to spend some fun times outdoors. The second bedroom is in a separate cabana guest house, which gives you total privacy, but there’s plenty of opportunity to gather in the living room, with its charming vaulted ceilings, or the benches down by the waterfront. Fire up the grill out back and enjoy dinner al fresco with the sea lapping the shore right in front of you. You’d be forgiven for wanting to spend all your time here, but a quick drive will get you to any number of sandy beaches up and down the coast, or to Sag Harbour for a lovely dinner out.
