Harvey was an incredible host - the kind of host depicted on VRBO advertising where you truly feel they are sharing their home with you. This was by far the smoothest check in/out process because of Harvey’s communication. His recommendations for fishing and dining in the area were spot on and made our vacation perfect. If we’re back in East Hampton, I will definitely check to see if Harvey’s home is available!

We had a wonderful stay. Great house just as in pics and wonderful pool. Harvey was an excellent host with great communication. The pool floaties were great and also all the chairs and beach umbrella made going to the beach easy.

The location is great! House is ok, not updated at all aside from the bathroom downstairs. The pool- I wish it hadn’t been advertised as heated. It was cold. My husband and kids had to brace themselves each time they went in, and we went in August. Harvey was responsive but the responses mostly explained why the pool wasn’t warm enough to be comfortable. The mosquitoes were also a huge problem outdoors. If this was the extent of my review, I’d still have given it 4.5 stars because my kids really did love the pool. However, on our short trip the cleaners barged in twice. The first time was a day after check in. She rang the doorbell and practically pushed my husband aside to say she wanted to check something. It felt like the owner wanted to have someone check to see we were who we said we were. Day of checkout- our checkout was 10am, get a text from Harvey the day prior saying cleaning will begin 10am. At 9.30am as my husband had just started loading our car, the cleaners pull in. My husband says we aren’t ready, you are early. They say we will be out of your way and before he can even text me to say they are coming in, the cleaners walk into the house! What an invasion of privacy. I texted Harvey at 9.35 and instead of offering to kick them out, he said he will talk to them, giving the impression that they were there with his blessing. Felt like we were leaving a cheap motel. If you’re going to make money off your home guests need to feel welcome.

I was expecting good, but was blown away by Harvey's home and hospitality. Be hard pressed to get that kind of service at a 5 star hotel. Now, please don't expect a 5 star hotel, for it is not. It is a clean, cozy, East Hamptons home with the warmth and charm one might come out east for. Complete with pool and fireplace (not that you'll need it in summer!). Star gazing from the yard was incredible! Give your eyes 10 minutes to adjust and you'll see a planetarium! Just a great place to stay central to towns like East Hampton proper, Sag Harbor, Shelter Island, and Montauk. Thanks Harvey!! We WILL be back! Best, The Varrichios (August, 2023)
