The neighborhood was beautiful and close by to a lake and some restaurants. David was very talkative and friendly, but there were some comments that were inappropriate to make to two young women staying in a stranger's home. We felt uncomfortable by some of these comments, but we know they were meant jokingly. The rooms were nice and spacious, but the downstairs area was cluttered and had a slight odor. We did not have any issues with the room we stayed in.

House was nice and in a safe environment. All amenities listed were available. Host was a bit intimidating at first and is quite talkative but you get used to it. Room is very affordable.

David was very communicative with us. He let us know if he was not going to be in the house and that we would have complete access to it. This was a new experience for us. The neighborhood was very pleasant, with a feeling of safety and security. It was thirty minutes from the family we came to visit, but you can't beat the price. And, if you're looking for a place just to use for sleeping, you have it there. When we did have conversation with David, he was very knowledgeable in a vast amount of areas, including the history of Long Island. He will educate you.

It is a very lovely place. There are good spots to explore in the neighborhood. David is very nice and gave us tour recommendation.

David was a very kind and generous host who made me feel right at home.

We stayed in a private room at David's house for two night over the weekend in July to attend a family event in the area. The room is on the second floor and has two twin beds, a window air conditioner and a private en-suite bathroom. Unfortunately, we did not have time to use other amenities, such as dining room/kitchen and I also wish that we had more time to hang around in the lovely backyard full of wildflowers. David is an extremely friendly host and an incomparable source for local activities and sights. Just ask for his advice on local beaches!

I feel anyone need to enjoy the life now.I am really like the art painting of David's friend.Special like the colorful oil painting that set in maindoor on the wall.Another amazing thing is so many Asia arts collected by David family.I am sure that they are like the Asia culture and art.See you in China ,David and your friend!

Good room if you can bear the host

Great place. Great host.

I was fortunate to stay at Darren's home for a seven month work assignment. He was AWESOME!!!! He was very respectful of me and my privacy. He was always making sure I was comfortable. He was like a brother. His home is in a beautiful area with so many places to visit especially the Smith-Haven Mall. The area is not far from The Hamptons. Also, because it's Long Island, there's numerous beaches to choose from. The streets near his home are perfect for walking or jogging. There's lots of hills. This is such a great place to stay at, and Darren is a wonderful host. This was truly a blessing. What more could one ask for.

Great accomodations and hospitality.

As a host, Darren was so awesome that I'm going to stay an additional 4 months at his home. His home is beautiful, and it's located in a wonderful and very safe section of Long Island, New York. It's within a short driving distance of the Smith-Haven Mall and numerous beaches. The list goes on and on of so many activities the area has to offer. I've enjoyed off street parking, a private bathroom, and various terrific amenities. The price was nice. Darren is like a kind and caring brother. He has a great sense of humor. His conversations are enlightening and encouraging. He respects my privacy. We've built an amazing trust between each other. At first I was a little apprehensive because I've never stayed at someone's home that I didn't know. Darren did an excellent job of erasing any fears I had. Again, he's very respectful of my privacy. I highly recommend Darren as a host and his home as a great place to stay. I thank GOD for blessing me with this great opportunity(URL HIDDEN)

Great place and just as nice in person as it shows in photos. So great we booked it again for 3 more trips. Great communication with owners and house is filled with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

excellent location close to everything house is beautiful and has everything you will ever need I would definitely stay there again

Our second stay and once again absolutely fantastic. Clean, comfortable and all the conveniences of being at home. Great communication with owners! Highly recommended!

This house is very clean, comfortable, and very pleasingly decorated. Communication with the owners was prompt. There was a bottle of wine and some snacks waiting for us when we arrived. Overall a great visit!

Louise was a phenomenal host! She communicated throughout the process of renting and provided incredible detail about the house and all its imenities. The house itself was extremely clean and well kept. The property is one of the nicest I have ever seen with unbelievable views of the Sound. I would absolutely recommend renting this house!

Louise's place was nothing short of our expectation for a post-wedding family vacation. Louise was a great host, always prompt on responses and giving us heads up on the stuff we needed to know before and after getting there. Thanks to her considerate and thoughtful suggestions and notices, we didn't have any problem planning this trip, getting into the house, and knowing what to do and where to go to eat when we were there. Everything in the house was clean, well taken care of, and provided for. The houses even had various toys and games (etch-a-sketch and Find Waldo, etc) for a 5yo kid to play with. During our stay, it was pretty windy, but we kept noticing how great of a summer vacation house it would be, as it was right by the beach. I'd probably come back to Louise's place myself, and definitely recommend Louise's house to anyone, especially for those who are looking for a place for a family or couples' vacation.

My stay at this home was absolutely wonderful. The house was stacked with everything you could possibly need, snacks, towels, toiletries etc. The view was incredible. And even though we all had a lovely time in town, me and the rest of the guests couldn't wait to get back to the house and rest in luxury. Highly recommend staying here.

Louise made every effort to make our stay enjoyable including being flexible with our arrival time to make sure we could make it to a wedding on time. The houses have every possible amenity and she even left breakfast to make sure we didn't have to run out for milk for our coffee in the morning. A wonderful stay on the sound!

Host was very responsive throughout the process. Overall, the house was very nice but there are a few maintenance related issues and general wear and tear that could use some cleaning up. Small things like the condition of the BBQ, dishes in the kitchen, and overall cleanliness of the house.

Angie was very communicative with questions and telling us what to expect. Easy checking in and out. The location is rare to find at this price. Overall great relaxing weekend.

We had a great time at Angie's Sound Beach House! Plenty of room and two kitchens! The way the house is set up gives privacy and quiet for those who may want to split off and take a nap or just get away from the group and have a little relaxation and silence in the 2nd living room overlooking the water. House was clean and bigger than we expected. Many grocery stores and restaurants not far away. Angie was awesome! One of our kids left a cell phone there and Angie offered to mail it back no questions asked. We had a great time and hope to stay again at Angie's home.

The view is great. Neighborhood peaceful and quiet. Nature abounds. A lot of bird life. Beds were very comfortable. Host was very responsive to our needs.

David is a very knowledgeable guy with great advice for the area

As this was my fir AirBNB experience I & my girlfriend were a little apprehensive. But after settling in the stay was really nice. David was a wealth of information & ver accommodating. The room was a little warm but the A/C cooled it down nicely. The room & shower were clean & the location couldn't have been more perfect. David was very nice & kept the door open & the light on for us. We didn't use the pool as our day was full but if there would have been more time we would have loved to take a dip. If I'm up this way again & needed a place I would call upon David for another stay.

David was super helpful and communicative and accommodating. We arrived very late after a wedding and had to leave in the morning. He arranged after-hours access for us. Everything was frictionless and easy. The place is perfectly fine to spend a night in. Thank you David.

David was very communicative with us. He let us know if he was not going to be in the house and that we would have complete access to it. It was alittle far from stony Brook University.

David is a very kind and welcoming host. It is easy to feel at home at his place!

Jasna place was a perfect fit with my needs. Such great hosts always ready to help and very open mind. House is very nice, Appartment is very comfy and convenient. I wish I had more time to walk to the beach and enjoy Long Island.

We had a great time! The space was cozy and private, and our hosts were friendly and accommodating. Great location with relatively close proximity to the Northfork. Thank you!

Jasna's space was beautifully furnished with any and all amenities afforded to you. Courteous, hospitable, and clean, I would recommend this space for any future travelers staying in the area. Proximity to beaches, food, and wine is great too! Thanks Jasna!

The basement is quiet and clean, with a lot of Japanese decorations. It's close to the freeway and the host is nice.

The hosts were gracious, friendly and concerned about my stay. They made me feel very comfortable

The stay was everything and pleasant! While Jasna was away during the weekend, her parents showed us the warmest hospitality. The neighborhood was nice and safe. The room and house were clean and comfortable. We couldn't have asked more of a relaxing space to come back to during our short getaways in Long Island.

Very peaceful place especially in the basement. I enjoyed using the stereo system. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Thank you.

The hosts were extremely kind and helpful. The listing clearly laid out what to expect. The location was simple to access, and it was easy to get situated.

Susan made me feel very welcome. A simple, quiet room surrounded by a beautiful yard and wonderful trees. Bathroom was very clean. Easy access to Stony Brook University and the surrounding area. I was able to visit with my family in Stony Brook but have a quiet room to retreat to at night.

Susan is a great host. She was very welcoming and friendly.

I Had the best time i arrived early evening and i was greeted by Carlo and Susan chatted a little and then i was shown my room and i was tired i went to bed and slept like a baby i could hear the crickets every now and then so peaceful and you can actually think.next morning had a cup of coffee and really chatted about things that matters i really liked them a lot and they have a wonderful Home and knows how to share it.i will definitely be back there' Nepo

Carlo and Susan were very welcoming hosts. There were attentive to everything I might need and very friendly, right from the start. We enjoyed some good conversation, and they also gave me plenty of freedom and privacy in the evenings, when I wanted to rest up from my daily activities. The house is lovely, in a quiet woodsy area, which I enjoyed. I was happy with my stay and would be happy to go back again.

Even if my visit was one of the shortest (only 2 nights) and will not necessarily speaks for itself due to its length, I can easily say that Carlo and Susan have tried from the very first second afeter my arrival to make me comfortable. The house is one of a kind that you really want to take care of (one of the cleanest home I have ever seen in my life, it is not a joke!). This location is very close to Stony Brook University but you will need a car to travel back and forth as there are not so many sidewalks on the way...or you can still call a local taxi!

The room is spacious, bright and clean. Bathroom is shared with two tenants and it's also extremely well maintained. Kitchen well equipped and the living area is very cozy. Susan was very friendly and experienced in hosting interviewees and students. She picked me up at the train station and we had a good conversation about the area and our lives while sipping tea. I would definitely recommend this place!

Susan and her family were great hosts. They picked me up from the train station and took me on a short tour of a nearby town and helped me pick up dinner. Their home is welcoming, clean and friendly! Susan drove me the next morning to my audition at SBU as well. Wonderful host -- if I'm back in the area, I'd be happy to stay with them again.

My second stay here. Everything was excellent.

The place is very close to campus, the room is very private with a kitchenette & bathroom. Linnie is very sweet. Also the space is super clean. I would definitely recommend

This is one of my first times experiencing AirBnb and Linnie was an amazing host . She made it feel just like we were at home and was always there when we needed her. With a smile on her face and a positive attitude, she really did make the experience 10x better. I really recommended this place to any couple who just wants some alone time and wants to get away. This place is perfect! And we will definitely be back during the summer!! If I were to rate her and my experience, definitely a 5 star.

Thank you Linnie Marie for the great hospitality!

Linnie was very welcoming.

We very much enjoyed meeting and talking with Linnie. She is an outstanding host with a great sense of humor. Hope we meet again!

Adorable place. Very clean. We are looking forward to returning for several nights in the summer. Thank you for hosting us!! Everything is just as described. Close to the town, and close to Stony Brook. This was our first experience with Airbnb and it was a very positive one.

The loft is beautiful, well decorated and well equipped. I loved this place a lot and Linnie is very kind and very helpful. Thanks

Stayed here for 5 days, and the apartment (which is actually their basement under their house) was really cozy, spacious, and clean. There were bread, jam, cheese, and snacks ready for us when we got there. There were so many other things stocked like shampoo, toothbrush/paste, DVDs, and a steamer! Didn't get to meet Gaby herself, but kept in contact with her husband who was the one who met us the first day. He was really friendly and took his time explaining the whole stereo sound system, thermometer, and other amenities. I met their adorable chow chow and fluffy cat but their chow likes to run half marathons in the middle of the night right above us and occasionally sings the songs of his people. Woke us up almost every night around 3-4AM. There is also no stove which was inconvenient for us since we were staying there for 5 days and had to eat out every time. Overall, I would highly recommend Gaby's place for a short stay because of the comfiness and cleanliness. Probably would not stay for longer than a couple of days due to lack of stove though.

The place is very tastefully detailed and decorated. Even though Gaby wasn't around, her husband Sai helped us with the check in and showed us around the house. We needed to do laundry as we had been travelling for many days and Sai was more than helpful in this regards by allowing us to use laundry at the premises. I really loved the complimentary cupcakes and well stocked mini fridge and snacks. The condo is true to its photos. The bathroom is very clean and has all amenities. The bed is very comfortable and the wifi is very strong too! The tv is huge and has lots of channels. The location might be tricky to locate if you don't have gps but Sai was helpful again in giving us directions over phone. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend this place to anyone looking out for a safe and comfortable stay in or around stony brook.

My girlfriend and i have stayed at quite a few airbnb's and this one was by far the best!Everything you could need was provided. Huge big screen tv with surround sound. Desserts were delish, food and coffee provided for breakfast. Very well planned out. Great experience thank you :)

This is the best AirBnB place I've ever stayed at. Everything was as described and Gaby and Sai were very friendly and helpful. They picked me up/dropped me off at the train station and at Stony Brook University. They really went beyond anything I expected.

The basement apartment was very clean & is represented well in the pictures. The hosts made us feel right at home with some homemade goodies they left on the minibar. We look forward to staying again! Sincerely, Riley & Alexandria

The description was acurate and very comfortable. It was very relaxing and she stuffed her fridge for us!!

We first communicated by email and had very prompt and useful information provided. Gaby even offered to pick us up at the train station! (We already had transportation provided by our daughter, who lives near by) The accommodations were way beyond what we expected. Everything was as described on airbnb and more. Gaby met us at the door when we arrived and took us on a tour of the room. We had asked her about cats, because my wife is allergic. Not only did Gaby tell us that they never enter the room we were staying in, but she thoroughly vacuumed the room before we arrived. Not only was the room very roomy, but she even provided cookies, bread, and other goodies so that we had "snack" food. Both she and her husband were very cordial, and so was their dog! We highly recommend this airbnb location.

Excellent host, everything was prepared with great love of detail - some cheese, toasts - great!

Sam and Viv are great hosts! We had a georgeos stay at their place. Nice breakfast and very nice conversations with them. The room is very clean and comfy. Sam picked us up from the train station and showed us around. We feeled very welcomed and will stay there again! Sam und Viv sind großartige Gastgeber. Unsere Übernachtung dort war sehr gut, mit einem leckeren Frühstück und sehr guten Gesprächen! Das Zimmer bzw. die Ferienwohnung war sehr sauber und gemütlich. Sam hat uns am Bahnhof abgeholt und uns den gesamten Ort gezeigt. Beide versuchten uns unseren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Sie standen uns jederzeit mit herzlich Rat und Tat zur Seite, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Wir kommen jederzeit gerne wieder!

Sam and his wife are the perfect host. They come across as longtime friends. Their attention to detail made my family and I feel right at home. We enjoyed a few games of connect four together, as well as the fruit, refreshments, and books they left out. Sam was in constant contact and very accommodating. If there is anything you need he is right there. The upstairs apartment is very cozy only to be superseded by the incredibly beautiful back yard. Our only regrets were not having more time to spend back there. We will definitely be back when we return to Long Island. Give it a try you definitely can't go wrong.

Great, quiet neighborhood, relatively short drive from the beach. House was amazing, awesome backyard with multiple comfortable "cabana" style areas, nice ambience/landscaping, and a fire pit. Hosts were super nice and friendly, shared food and drink during dinner with us and set us up with snacks and dessert and a light breakfast. Also were kind enough to offer us a couple of car pickups/drop-offs. Fun people, quite funny, very kind.

We had the most friendly stay at Sam and Viv's place. We were staying here with our 10-months daughter for one night, on our way to the north. We finally regret we didn't stay longer!... The studio is completely private, clean and fit for purpose for a short or longer stay with complimentary snacks that were very appreciated after a long drive. The garden is just fantastic and we were more than welcome to use it. Sam and Viv proved to be amazing hosts (as well as their dog Coco!), welcoming and friendly, and invited us at their table like we were their own friends. I really recommend a stay here! Thank you Sam and Viv!

Great house to stay in! The room was very clean and came with fruit, water, and coffee! The hosts are extremely pleasant and generous. They served us an amazing breakfast and shared funny stories with us. Sam and Viv are wonderful hosts and I highly recommend this place to all who are staying in the area!

Excellent! Sam, Vivian and coco where amazing hosts, when we arrived to their home sam informed us of all restaurants and markets in town, as well as leaving us a small map of the town. The home itself is very comfortable and well kept, waking up in the morning and being able to enjoy their amazing backyard was a total plus. We would definitely rebook with sam.

It worked well for our needs- we had an additional person at the last minute and our host was very accommodating - plenty of towels and blankets. We ate in most of the time and brought our own crockpot. It looks like the yard is beautiful in warm weather, hopefully we will get to see it.

Sam and his wife were the best hosts you can imagene for a trip to Port Jeff., Long Island. Their house, garden and hospitality exceded our expectation. The rooms are super clean, erything is new. They left water, juice, fruits and snacks for us, when we arrived. Sam offered a ride to the city.. also gave us taxi number for the way back. When we returned in the evening, they have lighten up a fire in the garden and left sticks with marshmallows for us.. In the morning we had the best home made breackfast in the pretty decorated Tuscany style garden. We had great converation over a long breakfast and coffee time.. real family style. All of us, 5 girls, really enjoyed our stay and were glad to make friends with Sam and his wife. We can't wait to go back in Sept to visit the nearby wineries. We will recommend to anyone for any purpose of staying.

Beautiful, cozy home right on the Long Island Sound. Quiet neighborhood, incredible morning and evening views from the dining area. Great to wake up to with a cup of coffee, or to end the day with a glass of wine. So incredibly relaxing with a short drive to Pt. Jefferson. Louise left some wonderful breakfast treats and a nice bottle of wine as well. Great host and amazing home! Look forward to staying there again.

Fantastic location with breathtaking views. Large open spaces with great amenities including beach access, paddleboard, kayaks, fire pit, and grill.

Beautiful home in quiet and private setting. Louise went over the top in providing many extras in the kitchen and bathroom. She was always available by email and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. Will definitely come back.

Great location with fantastic views. Excellent facilities in the house with the largest and most comprehensive welcome back we've ever seen!

Great house, very pretty location! The hosts made us feel very comfortable and gave us lots of advice about the local area.

Everything about the place and the experience was fantastic. Louise was a great communicator throughout, and made a real effort with a lot of nice extra touches to make our stay pleasant. The home and property and location just couldn't be better. The views are amazing and the beach is beautiful. A fantastic AirBNB experience.

A top-notch stay. This home, and the homeowners, exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Most importantly, the home is beautiful, clean, warm and welcoming, with amazing views- the pictures portrayed the property beautifully and accurately. Upon arriving, my friends and I noticed the owners had provided us with a large variety of snacks, and the kitchen was fully stocked with cookware. Louise, thank you so much for helping us to have a wonderful 2016. Your attention to the details made this an extra special birthday, New Year's weekend, and stay. All the best, Corinne and Dennis

This was our first experience with Airbnb and it was a pleasant surprise. Sophie did a great job in making up feel wecome, even with a cute "chalkboard welcome sign" when we walked in. It was nice to have a clean enviornment. We felt safe in the neighborhood and even enjoyed a run through their neighborhood in the morning during which we encountered friendly neighbors who were on their morning walk. We were pleasantly surprised to find out how close we were to the Village of Port Jefferson, since this is one of the places we enjoy visiting when we come to Long Island. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Sophie's place was great and she was a great host! She was incredibly responsive about booking and questions, and made checking in very easy. Every little detail was taken care of in the apartment - from little soap to ear plugs and eye mask. Everything was also incredibly clean. The location was a little far from Port Jefferson itself, but otherwise everything about the stay was fantastic.

Exactly as described, quiet, clean, no frills, plenty of street parking, easy access, safe area. Very close to Port Jefferson. We arrived at midnight, and Sophie and Jason were very accommodating; they left a light on for us and a key in a lock box. Bed was comfortable. Shower was clean and spacious. First-time Airbnb users, and we would definitely consider staying again. Thank you!

We completely enjoyed our stay at Sophie's Place. Very convenient to get to Stony Brook Campus while just being a short walk to the quaint little village of Port Jefferson. We plan on coming back as we visit our daughter at the college. Thank you for everything Sophie!!!

Everything about the place was great. The neighborhood is quiet and very nice. Sophie and her family are wonderful hosts and everything was set up for my stay.

Sophie is very pleasant and was very accomodating. She responded to any of my questions very promptly and the neighborhood and house are beautiful.

After 10 days in New York 2 days discovering Long Island and the Hamptons. The description of Sophie it corresponds completely with the reality, discretion and cleaning, all perfect. A perfect base, thank you Sophie!

It's hard to know where to begin. The property is beautiful and serene. The accommodation is perfect! Comfy pull out sofa bed. Flat screen TV with great cable channel lineup. Excellent WIFI reception. Microwave and small fridge. The bathroom is huge!! Fresh towels and toiletries. But the best feature, by far, was the host's Michelle and Kurt. Michelle made sure I had everything I could possibly want to make me feel at home. A french press with ground coffee for my morning cup of Joe. Bottled water. Fresh pastries. I mean, it was superb! Whenever I am traveling to this part of New York, this will be my go to accommodation. By far, the best quality and value on Airbnb.

Wow! My first word to Michele as she led me inside. This is hands down the best Airbnb experience I have had. I wish I could give 10 stars for value. The location is perfect for convenience. The privacy is unmatched by anywhere I've stay Breakfast was different and delicious daily. All my needs were met and then exceeded. There is no question where I'll be staying if in the area again.

Wow, Michele's home exceeded all my expectations. The place was very clean and well equipped. The pull out sofa was very comfy. The television is a perfect size. Towels, bar soap, bottled water, fresh sheets and blankets were provided. The bathroom is huge! Michele provided cleaning products such as Lysol wipes and spray. I really appreciate the privacy as well. The separate hallway and room made it very comfortable. Breakfast every morning was delicious, it was something different every time! And most importantly, Michele was an excellent host. She was very attentive to my needs and never hesitated to reach out to me. Her responses to all my messages were very professional, detailed and within minutes. Michele really makes sure that you have everything you need. I had a great experience, I highly recommend Michele's home!

We stayed one

Luke was great! Very welcoming and helpful, and very accommodating. Would highly recommend staying here.

This is truly what any Airbnb should be like, I have zero complaints about it. It really is like it's described if not better.

Great place with good company.

Luke and Mary were wonderful hosts! Friendly, kind, and generous. I was in town for an interview and they even let me borrow a belt when I forgot mine at home. I highly recommend staying with them in Stony Brook!

Had a fantastic and comfortable stay, Luke was very responsive with messages. Excellent experience. Thanks again

Place was great, very cozy and about a 5 minute drive to the hospital.

Just as advertised the room was spacious and comfortable. While I didn't get to meet Mary or Luke during my one night stay, they were good at communicating with me to provide everything I needed. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

Luke and Mary were great hosts! Super accommodating with check-in. Basically provided anything I could've needed for a quick one-night stay. Super laid-back and easy-going, really friendly and knowledgeable. Awesome stay.
