The house was simply wonderful. It was clean and very roomy. There are many rooms in this house. The yard is to die for. We were so happy that we chose this place. The owner is wonderful and she was very easy to work with.

Wonderful stay. Wonderful backyard!
We had an amazing week at Megan’s house. The property is well taken care of and clean. Plenty of bedrooms and beds. The real gem is the backyard with the large pool, hot tub, and tennis court. Plus the property is very large and private. Megan was super responsive and helpful throughout.

Great location and very responsive host!
My family (6 adults and 6 kids) had a great time at this location. There were a few hiccups but the host was super responsive, which was great. Excellent location as well. The house could use a little updating but was perfect for our needs. Only note is bedroom in the basement is not private- just an alcove. The house is very private and the pool was really nice. Overall great stay. Definitely recommend!

BLACK MOLD / UNDISCLOSED CAMERAS OVERLOOKING POOL. RUN AWAY!
VERY LARGE AREA OF BLACK MOLD IN BASEMENT (2 FEET AWAY FROM A BED) *UNDISCLOSED* CAMERAS OUTSIDE FACING POOL AREA. We had 5 kids with us. Age: 8 weeks, 9 months old, 2 years old, and two 4 year olds. Diapers were changed, bathing suits were taken off. All in an area that had an undisclosed video camera. There is zero guarantee that these children/my children were not recorded. Just incase host says that disclosure of video cameras is in her listing it’s only because VRBO made host update description to include presence and location of video cameras ASAP (within 24 hours) or her account will be suspended.

We understand that you're a real estate professional, but our big family of six (including four little kids) has been renting out our place during summers for the past 10 yrs to help with our second home. Yes, I was not aware that I had to add that we have a security system and I did update that on my listing right away. We never received a call from you, and after a thorough check, we couldn't find any black mold. We had other guests before and after your stay, and have given us a 5-star rating.

Wonderful stay in Large house and large property- great for multiple families
This house has everything you need and is especially great for large families coming together. We had babies and toddlers with us and the house has a great set up for everyone to gather on the main bottom floor with a large dining room set , open living room with TV, movies, games, toys already there. BackYard is huge with playground set, fire pit with chairs around it, large pool (that you can pay extra to heat), jacuzzi, tennis court that also has basketball nets on it, gas grill, outdoor dining set. PLENTY of towels and linens, extra throw blankets, washer and dryer and coffee maker. Truly everything you need. The downstairs basement has a bed about 10 feet down the hall so baseball is a great bedroom for a family with kids and multiple kids can sleep on couch if looking for extra beds. House also came with blow up mattress if needed! AC works great also. Property owner Meghan was so responsive to any questions we had and so helpful and nice! Check in was very simple. Ponquogue Beach is only 10 minutes away. Grocery store very close by. Montauk is about 50 minutes if interested in seeing that town. We took kids close to mini golf which was fun but honestly you really don’t need to leave the house if you just want a relaxing summer house vacation. Highly recommend!!

Everything would have been great, except… the listing is marked with a “heated pool”. When we asked for the pool to be heated the own gave us some run around about needing to get rates for the propane and that it would be an additional charge. She never provided the rates. The pool service company showed up and turned on the heater. After a couple hours we decided it wasn’t worth dealing with the owner so we turned it off. She then tried to send us a bill, marked a month before our stay, charging us for her entitled propane tank to be filled. The heater ran for a couple of hours, using a few gallons of propane. This is has scam written all over it. We had an amazing bachelorette weekend, and this owners actions are putting a negative vibe on the event. Would NOT recommend.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Jun 2023
Dear Maggie, Thank you for the feedback. I was sorry to hear that you felt confused about the pool heating costs. I apologize if there was any misunderstanding, but I am certain that after you signed the rental agreement and our prior conversations, it was made clear that pool heating costs are not included in the rental fee, but can be accommodated for an additional charge for the propane. I did provide a cost breakdown via phone, email, and text the day you checked in, and again on the day that you requested our pool guy to turn on the pool heater. As per your request, I even called my propane company to get the cost per gallon. The invoice I sent you was directly from the gas company, and I also included a screenshot from the gauge on our propane tank that shows that you used the pool heater for three out of the six days of your stay. I truly apologize that this was confusing. I always aim to be transparent with my guests and address any concerns they may have. Best regards, Megan

Annual family vacation
Wonderful house for our family and friends to be together. Megan communicated with me as needed and we really loved the warm homey vibe she created. Lots to keep the little ones and the big kids (adults!) occupied. The location is close enough for easy day trips to east end of Hamptons, but away from the hustle and traffic. Kitchen is well stocked, making at home dining fun and easy. We even brought in a professional chef for a dinner party. Cheers to another successful family vacation !

The long ride up the driveway to a beautiful comfortable house made me so happy It was the prefect place to celebrate thanksgiving with my family There were games to play outside for all ages and plenty of room inside to eat and play some fun games The stores are close by to buy anything we needed. Hopefully we can go back in the summer.

Family vacation-2022
The indoor living space was large and comfortable for our family. The kids enjoyed the large yard, tennis and basketball court and swimming pool. However the 1st floor bedroom had no a/c and was uncomfortable for sleeping. There was no safe way to enter the hot tub as there were no steps. The gas grill was unusable and the ice maker was broken. The house needs to be updated and repairs made. We had an issue with algae in the pool and our host Megan was very responsive and rectified this issue immediately.

I'm truly sorry to hear that your stay was less than perfect. It is really important to me to be an excellent host since I too am quite often the guest when my family is traveling. Again I am sorry that I was not able to get the ice machine repaired before your arrival and I know that the ice trays I purchased are not the same. We do have a portable AC for that room in the closet for those extra hot summer days/nights. I am unclear about the access to the hot tub because there are steps to it. Also, the grill is charcoal. Once again I'm sorry this was not the perfect vacation for your family holiday.

Great location. Responsive manager, house was well large enough for our family of nine adults and two teenagers. Tennis court and pool used a lot. Outdoor eating area was great as we all sat comfortably around the two table set up. Fire pit was also used several times. Proximity to the beach was excellent as well.

Our stay in Hampton Bays was heaven on earth! The house is so inviting that there were days we never left the premises! It was conveniently located near all necessities. There were eleven of us and the dining table was able to seat us at the same time. The pool and hot tub were where most of us hung out. We found everything we needed in order to prepare and eat meals. It was hard to leave!!

The house is great for large groups especially with kids - the pool is great and so is the yard with tennis court. Area is very nice, quiet but not far from many things to do. Needs some updating. Cleaning could be better - a few messy areas, some you could tell hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Some broken amenities in kitchen. No gas grill on property which was a bummer.

Spacious property at convenient location
This was our 1st time staying at the Hamptons in the fall during Thanksgiving week and we weren't sure what to expect, so we were delighted that Megan's property was available. She was very communicative during the entire process and offered her assistance when needed. Here're some highlights of the property: 1) The house is at an elevation with a beautiful elevated view of the Bay especially at sunrise from the living room and master bedroom. Lots of natural light and windows which is fantastic! 2) Massive property with a huge front yard leading to the house and a huge backyard with a play-space and a tennis/basketball court. We even saw deers which the kids love to watch 3) Massive master bedroom on 2nd floor with amazing master bath and steam room feature +++! 4) Separate large bedroom on ground floor with en-suite bathroom for a separate couple (including a mini-crib) for a family for privacy 5) Brand new hot tub 6) Other bedrooms are spacious as well. There're pack & plays and even a changing table for the baby 7) Wine cooler 8) There's a furnished basement with a bed and place to watch movies/play video games but we didn't use it 9) Convenient location at Hampton Bays, close to supermarket and highway We did find a few things we found to be desired, including parts of the house appear dated (e.g. rug in playroom at main entrance, sofa in living room) and a few things that were not clean; this was brought to the host's attention. We would definitely consider returning if a few upgrades / upkeeping can be done since the property and many of the amenities are fantastic in a great location with a wonderful host.

Megan was super responsive and quickly handled any issues that came up. Bedrooms are large and was great to have several bathrooms.

The perfect place to celebrate lasting friendships
My husband and I rented this home to host New Year's Eve with our dear friends, and it was just wonderful! There are eleven of us, all in our seventies. We have been close for over 40 years despite the fact that some of us now live in NJ, NY and PA . This was the perfect place for us to come to together, relax, get caught up and ring in the new year as we enjoyed my home cooked sauerbraten dinner (which I prepared ahead and brought from home.) The home is huge and was immaculate, light and airy. Set up on a hill with a 300ft driveway this house was built in the late 1800's and has a lot character. The inside has been completely updated, very comfortable, with every modern convenience we could imagine. Plus, it seemed every window had a view of the beautifully landscaped 3 acre property. Some windows on the second and third level even offered a winter view of the Tiana Bay. We enjoyed quiet evenings relaxing and visiting by the cozy fireplace and lovely afternoons walking in the Hampton Bays area, as well as some great meals in the local restaurants. Our four days together just flew by. We all agreed we made some terrific memories together in this lovely home. Megan, the owner was terrific! She made us feel so welcome and was always available to patiently answer any questions that we had. We were thankful we chose this home to celebrate our cherished friendships and the dawn of a new year.

There were plenty of beds, most people had their own. The hot tub its MASSIVE. and the pool was sparkling and clean. The giant table in the large open plan living/dining area comfortably accommodated all 12 of us. Megan was very helpful throughout the whole process. All the girls commented on how impressed they were with the house. We even had a chef who's clients are mostly based in and around the Hamptons and she was blown away with how lovely the house was. many of the girls have asked about future booking at the house they loved it so much!
