We spent two weeks at this property in the summer with our kids. The location could not be better - we absolutely loved being close to everything in Southold and having water access with the dock. The pool and the yard were ideal for our kids. Our son fished off the dock for hours.
There were quite a few disappointments during our stay though. Two major appliances didn't work during our stay and we dealt with a repair man at the house for a total of about 12 hours across 4 different days. We sort of felt like the repair man James was on our vacation with us. The pool heater didn't work for the first half of our stay, two of the paddle boards were missing their stabilizing fins, rendering them basically broken (although my husband was able to repair one with a toolkit he found in the garage), and there's an enormous, unsightly stain on the couch. When we checked in, the fridge and pantry were both completely full of the previous tenant's half eaten food. The kitchen is missing basic items like a tablespoon, a teaspoon, a whisk, a meat thermometer, an ice cream scoop... basic items that you assume a kitchen would have. And in general, there just seems to be a lot of wear and tear on the house, furnishings, bedding, etc. I was ready to come home at the end of the trip, let's put it that way.
Jeff was very apologetic about the appliance issues and we didn't really bother him with anything else because we were trying to make the most of the situation.
