Rental Registry no 22-1590
All local hotel / motel taxes are paid from rental rate (if applicable)

Beautiful, uncluttered, airy, modern, four bedroom house with four and a half bath sitting on a park-like acre of open lawn and flower gardens. Large heated pool surrounded by tall trees that give complete privacy. (Please note that the pool opens on 25th April and closes mid-October and there's an additional charge for using the pool heater. See below for pricing.).

There's a large kitchen with plenty of storage and a dining table that seats 10. The sunlight-filled great room is an open space with a gas fireplace, and glass sliding doors that lead onto the deck and spacious pool area. The deck has a dining table and chairs seating 8, a Weber gas grill, 4 sun-loungers, outdoor sofa and 3 large umbrellas for shade. The pool is large with a 3ft shallow end and 10ft deep end. There are 2 outdoor showers.

The 4 bedrooms have modern en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets and TVs. The generous master suite has a King-sized bed and leads directly onto the deck and has a gas fireplace and a bathroom with a bidet, double sinks and a jacuzzi tub. The second bedroom has 2 Twin Beds, the third bedroom has a Queen bed, and the fourth bedroom has 2 Twin beds and a Queen sized sofa-bed so the house sleeps 10 people in all. There's also a games room with a ping-pong table, darts and pool table.

In the garden there's a fire pit with Adirondack chairs and a lawn with a hammock and shade. For the kids there's a badminton set, soccer nets, croquet. All of this, and just a 15 minute walk to Cedar Point park with calm, warm waters great for young kids to swim in and there's a play area for kids as well as a basketball court and volleyball court. You can take my paddle board from the house and explore the bay coast. Or discover the Hamptons and the beautiful local communities of East Hampton, Sag Harbor (12 minutes drive) or Montauk (30 minutes drive).

Please note that the pool opens on 25th April and there is an additional charge for using the pool heater. $250 for the first night and then $75 for each night thereafter. ($50 per night in July and August). You can decide whether you want the pool heated nearer the arrival day and the balance can be paid by Venmo on Zelle. In the summer months it's unlikely that you'll need the heater. In the winter I ask guests staying longer than 28 days to cover the cost of utilities long - gas, electric, oil, internet - and taking the trash to the local recycling facility.

The house is located in the countryside. It's in the Northwest Woods area of East Hampton which is a heavily wooded area. There is wildlife out here - deer, wild turkey, voles, field mice, spiders, moths, ticks, ants. There is a cattle grid over the entrance to prevent deer coming into the garden. The lawn is sprayed for ticks throughout the year and I have a monthly pest control service contract that sprays the exterior of the house regularly to deter insects coming into the house and bait traps are set for rodents. Every precaution is made to minimize wildlife coming into the house but there is never a 100 per cent guarantee. To prevent wildlife entering please shut exterior doors and use the screens in the windows and please check children and pets for ticks during your stay.
