We rented this little cottage to visit my Mom for her birthday. It has everything you need and it’s clean! The location cannot be beat. Steps from the beautiful Long Island Sound which we went in during the 105 degree heat. The cottage has two window a/c units that kept it cool the whole time. The bed is very comfortable and there are kayaks if you want to have some fun on the water. The restaurant La Plage is a quarter of a mile away and the food and service are superb! We will definitely rent this again! Great host.

Stunning views, private beach, super quiet neighborhood with everything you need within 10 mins away. Thanks for a special Father’s day weekend. 💙

Beautiful, unique and magical place. I already want to come back. The house is the only one like it in the area, secluded by dunes and bushes. The host is Thoughtful and communicative.

Perfect little place to kayak with a dog

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location, location, location! Charming rustic cottage right on the beach. Lazy summer days right on the water , gorgeous sunsets and amazing views. The cottage had everything you could need, including A/C on those hot humid nights. On cool nights you can open the windows and fall asleep to the sounds of the beach. Our host Debbie was super helpful and so nice and friendly, it felt like staying at a friend’s place. She and everyone at LB getaways was easy to get in touch with and a pleasure to deal with. We have rented homes from them before and will definitely book again. Highly recommended.

We were looking for a small and private beach house getaway for the weekend and found this hidden gem. Our property manager, Debbie, made herself available throughout our stay to answer all of our questions. Everything needed for our comfort weekend was provided. We strongly recommend this place for those who are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. We will be returning!

This place was exactly as advertised, a quaint beach shack in a phenomenal location directly on the beach. We had a nice stay and it was just what we needed given we had a busy weekend in the area. The bed was very comfortable! We enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time in peace and quiet.

Wonderful stay at the beach cabin! The location cannot be beat. Love the neighborhood. Thank you for the great stay!

This has been one of our favorite stays ever, the cabin is a dream, super private and cozy! Great host. I highly recommend!

If you are lucky enough to stumble across this listing and it’s available during your travel dates, BOOK IT!!
We spent 3 nights and brought our two kids. This tiny beach house is magical. Beautiful beachfront location and wonderful community around you. We fished, walked to La Plage restaurant (delicious!), swam and enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets. The house is well equipped (including beach chairs and beach towels).
Tips: bring water shoes for the rocks and bug spray! Enjoy this little piece of heaven! Can’t wait to return!

Relaxing stay in quiet beach town not far from home.

Great mini trip for ny family and myself. Thank you!

Located close enough to great vineyards, wineries, restaurants, and breweries; and can’t get any closer to the water! Do everything or nothing – it’s your choice. The shack it that, a shack – that was the expectation and that’s why we enjoyed it. The management group was extremely communicative.

Love this place! Nice beach and quiet road. Great restaurant 5 minutes away.

This was a wonderful little beach house that exceeded our expectations!

The house is small but it has everything you need. The ocean was lovely to watch and good scavenging for rocks and sea glass. Very private place. My pup and I had a good time!

I loved my time there, I would live there forever if I could! beautifully simple space, with everything you need provided. Rustic, yet close to bars, restaurants and grocery. Excellent energy in the space, with a sunset to die for!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect Beach vacation rental for a couple–anyone over 21. For us it was reminiscent of a cottage used over 10 summers on an island near Greenwich, CT.Best features–private beach and the view from the cottage wall of windows and front patio/ beach.LaPlage [French and seafood] nearby and the Bluewater Fish store [fresh seafood, prepared, and take-out meals], and the Greek Island Diner were all very good. Farmstands [Briermere and others in Riverhead] were fine but way over-priced. Did not get to vineyards, but bought a lovely local Riesling. Could also be a fun place with one or two kids or grandkids. (No dishwasher so bring lots of paper plates.)Photos of cottage are accurate. Emphasis on rustic. Owner needs to encourage and allow some luxury touches and amenities– in bathroom and bedroom.[Agents} Debbie and Virginia were so gracious and helpful and had immediate response to problem with WiFi/ TV. Debbie also made us feel so special as guests.We definitely would recommend this setting for any couple that want a quiet get-away.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! I traveled with my husband and five month old baby as well as my German Shepherd. I cannot stress how nervous I was about my first overnight outing with baby. Debbie was absolutely amazing, she ran over a pack and play which was a lifesaver during our stay. I really appreciated the fully stocked kitchen for easy meals, internet speeds were great so both my husband and I were able to get a bit of work done, and the overall layout of the property is perfect for a small family. Also a huge plus for us was that the property feels extremely private because of the surrounding vegetation. Finally, The location is extremely convenient because there are super market very close by. This is my first time renting for a vacation in general instead of staying at a hotel and we are definitely coming back! PS – if you are coming as a couple for a romantic getaway this spot would be absolutely perfect!

This place is like the Four Seasons of Glamping. Yes it’s rustic, but also very comfortable. Beautiful trees and bushes wrap an embrace around the little cottage and the vista feels like it is there just for your enjoyment. Rocky walking out in to the water so maybe pack some water shoes.

We had a wonderful time. Host was very easy to communicate with. Would recommend.

It reminded me of my youth.

Few places have exceeded my expectations on here, but this cottage did that and more. Simply stated, the location has to be seen to be believed. Seriously, the private beach in the photos IS your backyard. Small cottage is clean, charming, and has AC and anything you need to lay your head down at night. Incredible wifi strength, too! But you should not book this to be inside — this is for beach lovers who want to take endless swims in the ocean and walk up and down the quiet beach or sit on lounging chairs perched right atop the dunes overlooking it all. The outdoor shower temperature and pressure was the added bonus. So private and clean! Just a sensational experience that we can’t wait to book again.
Debbie from Luxury was a delight, so helpful and friendly with great recommendations. I hope to use this group again, as they have many other beautiful properties. Who knew Wading River was a beach lover’s dream?! Thank you to all!

We had a lovely stay! The location was great, and the house was exactly as pictured/described. We hope to return!

Great weekend break with the family on the beach. Truly wonderful and 5 stars!

This was an ideal place for the two of us to enjoy a peaceful time on the beach as well as a great location for exploring Long Island. We enjoyed the best wineries of the North Fork (less than an hour away), a day trip to Montauk via Shelter Island, and a day trip to Sagamore Hill at Oyster Bay. When not exploring, we sat on the beach chairs, read, watched the waves, and cooked delightful, local produce and meats on the grill. Debbie, the manager, provided the right balance of welcome and distance, while ensuring everything we needed in a beach cottage was ready for us to get away.

As advertised. Rustic but location was great. Hosts were terrific!

Absolutely perfect beach house getaway.

Just as described. A great rustic getaway.

Nice little cabin right on the sand. Beautiful and tranquil location. The host was great too, always ready to provide support

Just an amazing rental right on the water can’t wait to come back and enjoy again !

We stayed there for 2 nights in June of 2022. The cottage is literally on the beach!
There are parking restrictions in that area so there are very few people on the beach. At times we had large swats of the beach to ourselves!
The house is worn out and dated but very clean and tidy. We had to reach out Virginia and Debbie on a couple of occasions and they were very prompt to get back to us.
This property is dog friendly which we really appreciate.
The only downside is that they make you sign a contract which was not disclosed in the airbnb listing.

The beach house was perfect for a getaway from the city, and provided the ideal setting for a proposal to my now fiancée! A very cute and cozy beach shack surrounded by vegetation and little dunes, it felt quite secluded from the other houses in the area, and had everything you need for a great beach day. It was so nice to hear the waves while going to sleep.
Also, the friendly and reliable communication with Debbie was great! While the written instructions for check-in and check-out were sometimes unclear, Debbie was always was very quick to respond to questions, as well as offer great suggestions for things to do in the area.
I hope to get the chance to return in the future!

The beach house was perfect! Everything we needed was there. The kitchen has every utensil you will need. We were extremely comfortable the entire stay. Debbie was a perfect host. She made sure we had everything we asked for. We really enjoyed grilling on the deck with the beautiful view of the beach. Sunsets were amazing! We can’t wait to go back!

This location is a great find for those wanting a cozy, beach cottage house! The location is on the beach hidden in the sand dunes. Gorgeous views, friendly neighbors and great communication with the owner. Highly recommend this space! It has all the basics and so much more! Can’t wait to come back again!

Great little cottage for a last minute getaway with my family of 4. Location on the beach can’t be beat, very helpful hosts. It’s definitely a beach cottage versus a house as the description states. We’d definitely comeback for a weekend!

We (family of 3) stayed for a long weekend in July and we had an amazing time at this property. The house is located literally on the beach, and you simply can’t beat that. Plenty of (good) restaurants nearby (with takeout option) and a grill available make eating out very difficult. There is a TV but we didn’t switch it on once. Had to work a bit and wifi worked great, no issues. All in, great time and we hope to come back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was a hidden gem! We were in bliss from the moment we walked in. Even better than the photos portray. The cottage has a quaint seaside cabin feel and was literally steps from the sand and water. It is on a quiet street and has a very local, relaxed vibe. We only saw a few people during the day and it was very laid back. An absolute dream! It was clean, well stocked for cooking on their propane grill on the deck, and we felt right at home. The view is just beautiful. The property managers were friendly and helpful through text. I had concerns about the temperature in the July heat, but it was perfectly comfortable in the AC during the day (what little time we spent indoors) and with the windows open at night, could hear the gentle waves of the Long Island Sound with a nice breeze. We visited a nearby vineyard, stopped at a Lavender Farm, and spent the days relaxing on the beach which is just steps from the cottage. Well equipped with kayaks which were fun to use, beach chairs, and beach umbrella. The flies on the beach are easily deterred with bug spray, so be sure to bring some. The Wifi was fast and we spent our one rainy evening enjoying Netflix on their tv. Since it is on the Sound, the beach is has large pebbles, so bring your water shoes. Our senior dog loved walking freely on the beach in the mornings and we’re so grateful they are dog friendly. We were able to build a small fire on the beach near the water (just check with the property managers for directives) so stop for firewood at a gas station before you get there. We couldn’t believe that we were only 1.5 hours from our Brooklyn apartment and can’t wait to return to this beach oasis!

Had a wonderful weekend in this cozy cottage. Sand right at your door!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From the moment I arrived at this lovely location , I knew it was going to be memory ’s a cozy, rustic beach bungalow with everything I desired. The decor is fresh and beachy.The best part is walking outside to the sand whenever desired. We were able to kayak, watch sunsets and grill from the patio. I even had my first fishing 🎣 lesson! Walking the beach, strolling over to the fabulous restaurant and enjoying the tranquility of the neighborhood was 2nd to none. If you’re interested in exploring the area, you’re very close to dozens of breathtaking wineries , farm stands and gorgeous scenery. The owners of this company are extraordinary business women with a deep understanding of customer service for all they serve. They were very communicative and knowledgeable. I highly recommend contacting them if you’re interested in any properties in the area or if you’re an owner looking for dedicated property management experts.

After spending the entirety pandemic in Manhattan, we were so thrilled to find this gem of a little cottage on the beach! Everything on the property was thought out to the smallest detail. Beautiful secluded in trees and bushes home, yet located right on the beach – with amazing water views and gorgeous sunsets! Cozy couch, comfortable bed, unexpectedly fast internet, excellent outdoor seating – everything was simply fabulous! Thank you so much, Debbie and Virginia! We will be back! 🙂

We are return guests and will definitely continue to rent here in the future. The hosts could not be friendlier or more welcoming. The location is perfect for a city getaway- far enough to feel remote but not too far that you have to suffer through too much traffic getting home. Great place!!

This little cabin was perfect for our anniversary getaway in early October. Close to restaurants and vineyards, direct access to beach and gorgeous views. No heat, bit they have space heaters. We stayed warm with blankets. Doesn’t look like much on the outside but the inside is super cute. Would definitely return!

Great neighborhood, great decor, and the best views! I had high expectations since the listing advertised a lot, and somehow the hosts out did my high expectations! Great kayaks! Great fishing! Dog friendly! Private and Quiet in the best ways, with a walking distance AMAZING restaurant.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the beach- it was perfect for us and our chocolate lab who could swim in the LI Sound
We were able to see 2 of the houses on the beach that they rent and they were both great and just as written
Thank you

A perfect little getaway- very well located and right on the water. Simple, rustic, private. Just a stone’s throw from vineyards and exploration of North Fork. Will come back!

Loved the house and the fact that our dogs got to come on a small adventure! We had a fabulous time!

Cozy beach house in a great location. We really loved the place. A couple little things on the communication like check in/entry and the sleeping 5 comfortably is tough but all and all it was great.

We had a great time staying at the beach house for the Memorial Day weekend. The house could not be closer to the beach and had the perfect perch for us to sit and enjoy watching the waves. The house is cute and comfortable in the rustic beach bungalow way. Wading River is close to restaurants and wineries but just far away enough to not be in the crowds. We would definitely come back in the future!

The cottage is small but very comfortable and comes equipped with anything you would need for your stay. The location is idyllic and the view from the living room window is absolutely stunning. The cottage is located on a quiet street, but we met people out and about who were extremely friendly, and the hosts were also terrific. Debbie and Virginia were the perfect combination of communicative and responsive but also hands off and respectful of our privacy. A huge plus for us is that the place was pet friendly, so we were able to bring our two dogs. It was the perfect long weekend, and we would definitely love to return to Wading River someday.

This completely changed my perception of Long Island beaches, which I had previously thought were pretentious and expensive.

We had a great time at the cottage. Beach is quite and beautiful. Everything was just perfect!

We had a wonderful time. Great house, location, everything you needed and the beach right there.
Can’t wait to go back.

The location right on the beach cannot get any better. We really enjoyed watching the sunset from our patio every night, relaxing on the beach, having bbq’s and bonfires. The cottage is cute and clean. My husband and I stayed there with our two young children and the space was sufficient. The area itself is very cute with a few good restaurants close by as well as many wonderful farm stands and markets. The hosts are very responsive and helpful plus they live nearby in case anything is needed.

This is out third year in a row that we stayed at the Joyce. My mom and I love it here! Debbie & Virginia treat us like family. The cottage is right on the beach with beautiful views of the LI Sound. The cottage is also pet friendly so our dog can come with us. If you are looking for a beach vacation, I would highly recommend! We can’t wait to come back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you want to be RIGHT on the beach, this is it. The location is gorgeous. My kids had a blast playing in the sand right off the deck as we grilled or relaxed with a glass of wine. There’s also a playground less than a mile down the road, also on the beach. The beach is a little rocky here, but the water is calm. Inside the house is very basic – it’s definitely a beach shack. But we found everything we needed to cook dinner at home most nights. The caregivers were very responsive, checking in on us the first night we were there. When we were having issues getting the outdoor shower to work, they tried to fix it right away (and then my husband ended up figuring it out in the end). We also really liked the location of the home overall. It’s not as far out on North Fork, so it’s very easily accessible to Riverhead AND all the wineries/breweries. All in all, a great long weekend beach getaway and we would certainly stay again.

The property was beautiful and Debbie and Ginny were very lovely.. If you want a peaceful place to stay this is it..

Loved staying here for my husband and I’s wedding anniversary. The restaurant down the block, La Plage, is amazing! A must try! I’ve stayed in numerous different houses along this road and am always happy.

Place was great. Very chill and relaxing

Cottage is right on the beach and more than adequate for 2 people. Quiet road for strolls in the morning and evening. Walks on the beach to watch all the fisherman. The deck is always shaded so even on a hot afternoon you can enjoy the breeze and view. Beach chairs are also there to drag onto the sand. The restaurant La Page is a nice walk down the road and service and food is fabulous. You must try it. A very quaint secluded truly one bedroom cottage that we had the most relaxing enjoyable weekend in. Hope it is available next fall for a long weekend to end the summer season.

Beautiful little beach cottage! Right on the water and really nice to sit outside at night on the patio.

Came with my parents for a wedding in the area, and we really enjoyed the Joyce beach house. It took a little prodding to get some pre-trip questions answered, however once I got a reply they were very responsive and helpful.
The listing is accurate. The house was not luxurious but it was cozy, clean and cute and the house has a fantastic view. All kitchen and beach amenities we needed were provided, as well as plenty of towels and a bar of soap. We would definitely come back and stay again.

Amazing! The cutest little cottage on the beach. Five of us fit comfortably. Very helpful and friendly hosts. Definitely recommend and will return. Our first night it was stormy and we didn’t get to enjoy the beach much but it was still beautiful. The rest of the weekend we had amazing 75 degree weather and sunshine. Everything is provided from the grill on the porch to the beach umbrellas. We enjoyed looking at the sunset from the little hill exactly as pictured! The water was too cold to swim in (normal for June) but we enjoyed looking for seashells. The only tiny downfall would be the TV channels which were only a handful and mostly in Spanish but you probably won’t be watching TV with that view only on rainy days. Also there was hardly any cell service but there is a Land line and free wireless which accommodated for that. Wonderful experience overall. Safe for kids and ideal for small family. Best for couples.

Spent the weekend in wading river with the hubby and it was just perfect! Rest, relaxation and romantic. The place is situation right on what feels like your own private beach. Great beach with long walks in either direction that go on for miles and sunsets that just can’t be beat. Debbie and Ginny go out of their way to make you feel right at home and provide all the amenities, information and hospitality you could ask for. We’ve already booked next visit and can’t wait to go back to our little romantic hideaway!

Ah the Joyce… wish we could stay forever. We arrived at the Joyce with somewhat tepid expectations. The pictures really don’t do this place any justice. There is a wonderful and unique charm to the building and we were told it was built in the 50s. The history of the building in a great way. Everything has character and most importantly everything works great and allowed us to relax without any concern. The bed was comfortable and the sofa was perfectly situated for a great view of the beach. There are two separate outdoor areas, each with a different flavor. The front of the building has some wonderful trees with great shade. We took a refreshing afternoon nap under the trees. The back side of the building opens up right to the beach. There is a grill in this area which we used to cook Branzino, Kabobs, Crabs and pretty much did 90% of our cooking with! There is some great chairs for sitting and taking in the breathtaking sunsets. Our hosts were terrific and accommodated any requests we had for Kayaks/fishing equipment/etc. Virginia was even kind enough to mail us back a pair of sunglasses we forgot at the house! The location was also very close to many of the wineries in the area which we really enjoyed. Our vacation could not have been any better. We can’t wait to return for another fun weekend at the Joyce!
