The best family vacation rental!
Family of 4 with 2 young kids (1 & 4 years old) - this house was perfect for us! The location is amazing, 2 min walk to beach & playground, and across the way from grocery & pharmacy - super convenient. We spent majority of our time at the house enjoying the large, comfy, screened-in porch. Kids loved the outdoor shower and bunk bed/loft space. Truly created some wonderful memories here in Mattituck thanks to this little gem of a home. Joy was an amazing and hospitable host as well. 100/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking to relax and recharge with friends and family!

A Gem!
Home from our mini vacation and our stay at the cottage was the perfect getaway for us. It is a gem of a place; adorable cottage, the huge screened in front porch, large fenced in back yard (our dogs loved this!), unreal outdoor shower, and beautiful private quiet beach minutes away walking. Every imaginable item one would need for the beach was ready to go in a wagon. The ultimate relaxing vibe

Family Visit
The beach house is as advertised. The property is a cute beach house about a block and a half from the community beach. Mattituck is a decent, but doable walk away. There is a great ice cream place just two blocks away. The house itself has a great screened-in porch where we spent most of our time. The bedrooms are not huge, but well appointed. The bathrooms are small as one would expect, but great water pressure. The kitchen is also small but we ate at family's houses or at restaurants most of the time; so, we really only used the refrigerator. Should we need to stay in Mattituck again, we'll definitely see if this property is available.

About the host

Hosted by Joy Ellinghaus

Host profile image
My dad bought this property in 1968 after a summer rental nearby. Being a school teacher in Southern Westchester with 5 children, he needed a place to bring his brood in the summer. Luckily a friend told him about the beaches and farms (potato farms back then) on the North Fork. I've been spending my summers here ever since. A few years after he passed, my husband and I bought the house so we could keep it in the family and I'm so glad we did! The best times of course are when my siblings, and now our children, can be reunited here in the summer, but I am almost as happy when I know another family is having just as wonderful a time experiencing this magical area and all that it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Mattituck is right next door to Cutchogue, the sunniest sector in New York State. I cannot tell you how many times over the years, we have had sunny days at the beach while it was overcast elsewhere on the Fork. It is truly perfectly positioned, nearby to all, yet a world away. The beach is particularly splendid for children! The Bay is not rocky or cold like the Sound beaches, it is shallow and mild, and the sand is soft.

What makes this property unique

The main benefit of the house is the private association beach. It is just so close and so glorious. We have spent so much time through the years fishing, clamming, swimming, and simply relaxing on its sand. Our beach is also private and we get to enjoy it as such. Usually we bring the firepit down to the beach after dinner for s'mores and vino under the stars. On hot nights we'll even swim again! It is truly an idyllic summer ritual! Another benefit is the tremendous screened porch. It is ideal for napping and meals. And the beautiful outdoor shower, no matter what time of day or night, you will always prefer it to an indoor shower! We spend most of the time on the porch or on the deck when we are home, but mostly we are at the beach. There is also an enormous playground right around the corner at Veteran's Beach, and there is a tennis court one block away. In addition, one cannot overstate the benefit of having a truly exceptional ice cream parlor at the top of one's block!
