This home is gorgeous with many classic touches. It is spacious, sunny and in the perfect location! We were able to walk to a beautiful beach in 5 minutes. And the communication was excellent and friendly. I highly recommend staying here!

Hasmik was a wonderful host, and this home was so beautiful and full of vintage charm. I highly, highly recommend! It was clean, beautiful, lots of natural lighting, the beds were comfy, especially in the master suite (it was my favorite!). We loved sitting on the porch and hearing the birds. It was serene and peaceful from the moment we stepped in to the moment we left. I highly, highly recommend this home and Hasmik as a host! Thank you for everything, Hasmik!

We are frequent visitors to Stony Brook as a family. On this occasion we arrived with the full crew for a family funeral, and it is difficult to find large self catering accommodation in central Stony Brook. Hasmik's place was perfect. The location was great, within walking distance of the village centre and my sister's house, and the house is easy to find, with off street parking for our car. The house is large, with ample living and sleeping space for a family of five, and plenty of bed linen, blankets and towels etc. provided. The kitchen was clean and well equipped, with everything we needed to prepare our own meals, as some family members have food allergies. Everything was as described, and the host was very responsive, particularly when we arrived a little early on the first day! We would definitely stay again.

We came for a local wedding and have always loved the area. When we entered the home and walked around we just loved the historic side along with the creative decor. My wife immediately began taking photos and enjoying the home. We stayed for two nights and slept comfortably. Communication with the host when we checked in, during the stay, and at checkout was quick, clear, and helpful.

I felt completely at home and fully supported in this beautiful home. The decorations were stunning and location couldn’t be better as it was walking distance from the beach and local restaurants. I highly recommend staying here!
