Beach house bliss
We had a wonderful family stay! The house was clean, modern, beachy, and truly right on the sand!
Wading River is so lovely and this house is steps from the sound, directly next to town beach access. The playground at the town beach was a huge bonus traveling with a small child and the lifeguard was great too. The north shore is pebbly (water shoes recommended) but there are no cliffs or hills to climb -- simply walk off the deck and into the sand! There is a wonderful restaurant across the street (La Plage) that is not to be missed. We ate there one day and then the next day coordinated with the owner to deliver a family-style meal to the house.
The kitchen was well stocked, the bed linens were good quality, beds were comfortable, decor was tasteful. There was plenty of seating on the decks including a dining table, loungers, couches and chairs. The view is killer. There was a paddle board, 2 kayaks, a few life jackets, beach towels, beach chairs, and an outdoor shower. One of the bedrooms has an alcove with an additional bed which worked perfect for us with our kid. We didn't utilize, but downstairs there was a game table and some workout equipment.
The ladies who run this property were helpful. I was able to ask lots of questions before booking and they helped with recommendations in the area. They checked on us shortly after we arrived to make sure all was well and see if we needed anything else. We did have a snafu at checkout -- an apparent miscommunication about checkout time led to us racing around to get out of the house the last morning, which was not the way I wanted to end a relaxing week, but it certainly wasn't the end of the world. I'd definitely rent this house and from this management company again.
TAKE NOTE: I believe the owners are still making changes to the house so I would recommend confirming the bedroom set-up with the property manager -- it was different when we arrived than what we were expecting, but it actually worked out better for us. Also, the wifi works well but we had zero cell service with Verizon - total dead spot.
