Family Friendly Beach House in the Heart of Northfork Wineries
About this house rental
Nestled in North Fork, this attractive house for £312 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. House on the beach! Watch the sand, water and sunsets from the great room through its endless windows, or from the wooden deck just in front, or from the grassy lawn, or from the main bedroom’s wall of windows above it all. Then take a beach walk or swim in the Long Island Sound. With stunning panoramic views, it is the perfect mix of privacy and easy beachfront living. This renovated1940s beach house, which we call the “Sandbox,” is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, boating, fishing, walking, jogging and playing with the kids. Even on rainy days it’s lovely – play games or read a book while watching the water (we have board games, cable and a couple of TVs). Or just lay back on our 9-foot sofa and watch seagulls through the skylight of the cathedral ceiling. The sunsets are spectacular and can be seen from the deck and dining table in the summer. So can the sunrises... but you'll sleep in. The beach landscape is unusual for this region - bluffs overlooking calm, clear, vast water. Usually the Sound is so clear that you can see your feet. It is also warmer than the ocean. Very kid friendly. On windy days, the waves pick up and seem more like the ocean. Sleeps comfortably up to 6 adults, 3 children on additional mattresses and 1 small child in a crib. The nursery off the master bedroom has its own Sound view. Parking area for 4 cars. The neighborhood is teeming with local vineyards – the heart of Long Island wine country. There are 10 wineries within a 10-minute drive, including Palmer, Paumanok, RGNY, Jamesport, Macari, Jason's, Sherwood House, Clovis Point, Diliberto and Laurel Lake Vineyards. Find fresh fruit and homemade apple pies at the numerous farm stands. The organic farm Garden of Eve is just 5 minutes by car, or you can even walk there. Pick berries, apples or pumpkins, depending on the season. Harbes farms and the quaint Brieremere are so close as well. You can find it all within 10 minutes of the house. Explore delicious fine dining - North Fork Table, Jedediah Hawkins, Grana. We adore Love Lane Kitchen. And certainly don't forget to stop by the Love Lane Cheese Shop. The water park, the aquarium and Tanger Outlet Mall are only 15 minutes away. The Hamptons can be reached in half an hour. One of the best aspects of the house is that it is at the start of the North Fork, which means access to everything the North Fork has to offer but without a long drive to get there. TESTIMONIALS "we loved your place 😉 Such a great spot 😎" -Michela "The house is great. The kids stuff and rooms are working out so well. Thank you!" -Natasha "It’s a great house. You really did a beautiful job with the kitchen and furnishings and all its amenities.... We loved the beach and the view - so private and beautiful. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. I was surprised to realize you can see both from the beach! Also, we were so thankful that we could bring Wylie [dog]. He had a blast. It was as if he had a previous life as a fisherman and this was his reunion with the sea. He spent the whole week hunting for dead crabs.... We were thrilled. A vacation we will never forget." -Margit NOTES As the house is in a peaceful area, we do not host events or parties in order to maintain this environment.

Charming and kid-friendly just like all the reviews raved, and it still exceeded our expectations. Quiet beach location for water activities and bike rides. True surprise was the quality of the beds and showers like a nice hotel. Great for a relaxing vacation with my kids ages baby to teenager.

My family and I had a great stay here while in town form cousin's wedding nearby. The house is very well set up and Ariana was always responsive and extremely accommodating. You can tell that this home is loved very much, as it is cozy and inviting, and has everything you need for your stay. The beach is lovely and the view is spectacular--we had some great sunrises and sunsets during our stay. Some of our extended family actually rented a house just a couple of doors down from Ariana's home, which was a lovely coincidence, and made the whole stay that much more enjoyable. We were able to as pop back and forth between each other's rentals and all enjoy the beach together. Many thanks for hosting us, Ariana, and we hope to be able to come back!

While the house is well-equipped for families looking for beach time fun, I was in search of solitude and wind down time, which I found in meditative sound of the surf. Great communication with Ariana. Smooth check in and check out. Pictures do not do the house or views justice. I will certainly be back.

On the Sound, close to nature walks and vineyards. A perfect getaway

Gorgeous ocean views from every key area of the house and master bedroom. Numerous farm stands are just a few miles away (you could walk to one of the largest if you're feeling energetic). In our too-short week we enjoyed beautiful sunny days, walking on the beach and some exciting stormy afternoons, watching the waves crash against the rocks. The house is very well-stocked for those who want cook in and enjoy as much of the wonderful view and house as possible.

We loved our stay at the Sandbox! The spectacular view and sound of the water made for a truly peaceful week. Amazing produce and wine are readily available from the beautiful farms and vineyards that surround the house. Mid-July yet the beach felt very private. The house is rustic, beachy and casual, with a nice big table for family meals and long deck for lounging. Owners were very responsive when a small issue arose. Comfortable beds; plenty of towels; well-equipped kitchen.

Perfect!!
The Sandbox is a perfect beach house with stunning views! We traveled with a 2y/o and 5 month old and the house was great for the both of them. The location is perfect as there are so many fun things to do and places to eat. We went to the Strawberry festival, 2 farms, indoor play place (on the rainy day), outlets, and loved hanging down at the beach at the house. Highly recommend for families!!

My husband and I had a wonderful week here in mid-May, from the moment of arriving and seeing the beautiful view through the windows! The location can't be beaten and photos don't really do it justice. The house is comfortable and well equipped, the beach is lovely, the neighborhood is friendly, and the sunsets and sunrises spectacular. There are plenty of the North Fork's great restaurants, wineries and farmsteads nearby, although we found it hard to tear ourselves away from the beach. We were sad to leave and will definitely return.

We had a wonderful time at the Sandbox! Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate beyond our first night and half of the next day but we caught and amazing sunset—I’m a photographer and sunsets are sort of my thing—one of the best I’ve seen. Great walks on the beach, comfy beds and a house that has everything you need. Hosts were super responsive when we encountered some issues with a stormy sound and beach furniture washing away. Highly recommend!

House location is right on Beach and ready for active sporting family / atmosphere is very family oriented and easy to relax in
Bring your own sporting gear and enjoy the beautiful sunsets while the sound of the waves fills the air.

Amazing experience
We loved our stay at the Sandbox. It was a very special time for our family. The house is beautiful, right on the beach (sunrises and sunsets from the deck are spectacular) and fully baby proofed... the owners were also very helpful and friendly. What a nice escape during this pandemic!

We were looking to get away from the city and this house was perfect. I can’t say enough about the view. Beautiful sunrise, bright sunlight all day, amazing sunsets. The house is equipped with everything you need. It’s not fancy and that added to its charm. We felt comfortable even during two snowstorms - the Kahn’s left two space heaters to make sure we were warm during an especially cold week. We hope to visit again soon.

A group of 5 friends, one toddler and 2 small dogs spent a long weekend at the house both for Thanksgiving and a 40th birthday celebration.The house had everything we needed for cozy nights staying in and cooking and also lots of space to lounge, drink wine and play board games. We loved sitting on the deck and walking on the beach in the mornings and despite Covid, were able to take a couple day trips to go wine tasting and antiquing. The location was perfect.Before we even left, we were planning for a time when we can come back and hope to make this a tradition.

My husband and I wanted to escape the city for a few days especially during covid. This charming house is right on the water on a private road. The view from the main room of the house is water and waves and the sound of Long Island sound is calming and wonderful for destressing. The house and kitchen had all the amenities. The owner was easy to work with. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our off-season stay. We worked and the kids went on line to school and we absolutely loved looking at the Long Island Sound everyday. The weather was amazing and the sunsets spectacular. The house was perfect for our family of 4 and even the dogs were happy!

My family from all over the US (Texas, California Virginia) truly enjoyed the house and views of the Sandbox! Only three of us used it as a home base for a Calverton funeral in February and it was perfect! The large dining table and open living room space allowed us all to share many past stories with laughs and tears! The family truly enjoyed the “wall of windows” view and walking on the beach which was so perfect for our psyche. I was a little worried about the weather when booking but Arianna was perfect in answering all my questions and the week turned out even better than what I had planned for ! Everyone said that they never knew Long Island was so beautiful with open space and are now interested in coming back because of this house!
I look forward to staying at The Sandbox again to truly enjoy all that the North Fork offers.
A hui hou ( ‘til we meet again)!!!!
