"Long Island is a very special place — wild, beautiful, friendly and full of undiscovered gems. We loved every aspect of Ryan’s Oceanview, a tastefully furnished, comfortable, and dramatically sited haven. The pictures hardly do it justice, although they are accurate, but being able to have a 360 view from sunrise to sunset is just breathtaking. We appreciated the house’s many amenities, from temperature control to excellent linens and well supplied kitchen, the main deck, with different areas for lounging or outside dining, and the lower deck, right on the water, for dramatic views and sunbathing. And the hot tub was a special plus! There are a few nearby houses with friendly and helpful neighbors, but far enough away to ensure total privacy. Bill was the ideal host – replying to every query both before our stay and while we were there within 15 minutes, and solving any minor problem with alacrity. But be prepared for the limited shopping and dining opportunities on the island – no stores near the house, and limited supplies in the few small groceries within a half hour drive. Among the wonderful experiences of our monthlong stay— Gordon’s Beach Bar with the unforgettable Ernest; beautiful straw creations by Charles Wallace, whose tiny stand is on the way to Gordon’s; the spectacular Blue Hole; Fords Beach; the Long Island Historical Museum; Erica’s Bakery; the ecotour with Francis from Under the Sun; and the Saturday farmers market near the one larger grocery, Hillside.

"Overall."

"This property was beautifully situated on the beach. The house was clean and well appointed with thoughtful touches when we arrived with a gift basket full of snacks. The host promptly responded with answers to all our questions. We would definitely recommend."

"We had an amazing time here and would definitely go back. We weren't sure how it would be to be on solar power, but we always had enough to charge our phones and for lights, cooking, and fans. We loved having our own trail down to the beach. We didn't see anyone else on this beach the whole time. We loved being able to hear the ocean at night while sleeping and the stars at night were mazing. No light pollution. This was the perfect spot to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We will definitely go back."
