Acceptable for a quick trip
The home is in a very convenient location but the neighborhood is a mixed of well maintained and run down properties. The house itself could be beautiful but is currently very much a work in progress. The owners were very responsive and willing to work with check-in times, but it wasn't e i

The cottage was not ready for guests.
There were cobwebs, some with insects, furniture/floors not swept/dusted, refrigerator filled with food from others, some with mold. Hot water for shower didnt work properly.

Cute Cottage
Santo's cottage is cute, close to the water and has everything you could need in it. My stay was short in that I was only there for a night but Santo is a great communicator and made my stay easy. To top it off Meow is the cat's MEOW!!! I will be back next year to get some fly fishing in. Thank you!!

This is not guest accommodations
Nothing about this property is prepared to accommodate guests. It seems more like the host lives here and simply vacates the premises when guests arrive. The fridge and cabinets are filled with his food, leaving no room to unpack your own provisions. The drawers and armoire are crammed so completely with his clothes that we were unable to unpack our own suitcases. Even the coat hooks and shoe rack inside the front door are filled with his personal things.
Filth: black mold on the shower curtain, hairs in the bed and shower, crumbs on the floor, dead bugs on the windowsill, a home depot bucket that doubles as a kitchen garbage pail, and don't look under the bed if you're squeamish.
The electrical setup will make you nervous: there are no outlets in the kitchen, so the fridge is plugged into an extension cord that runs through a hole punched in the wall into the living room. The microwave has an extension cord duct-taped to the floor and runs into the bedroom - which doesn't matter since it didn't work anyway.
The TV is a nice size and works well, but everything else, inside and out, is as low budget as it gets.
This area can be very expensive for lodgings, and all we wanted was a modest place where we could simply rest our heads at night when we returned for the evening. Because this place was so affordable, our expectations were very low, and this property didn't even come close to meeting them.

Great location!
We were on Long Island to attend a 60th birthday party in Medford. This quiet bayside cottage was perfect for our one night stay. I only wish we could have stayed longer to explore the area!
The host was awesome to deal with and very responsive to questions.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

One Night in Long Island
Santos’ beach cottage is nestled in a small community in view of the water - a no frills cozy and quiet place to spend time while on Long Island, away from the hustle and bustle. Santos is an excellent host, very prompt with all communications and recommendations.
