This super romantic six-bedroom house was originally built as a coast guard life saving station in 1893. It has been beautifully renovated, and furnished with vintage furniture, to maintain its classic farmhouse charm, but with many modern conveniences.
This is a family house, used by it's owners throughout the year and lovingly lived in.

As seen on HBO's "Girls" & "The Undoing"

There is a huge kitchen and dining room with two sinks, two ovens, a six-burner WOLF stove and a huge amount of work space. With abundant farm stands and fresh fish at your fingertips, this kitchen is the ideal place to cook and entertain. The large table seats 14, allowing everyone to gather around the dinner table. It's perfect for the ultimate dinner party.

The House is the ideal place to relax and get away from it all. It has plenty of room for everyone to stretch out - On the ground floor, 3 guest rooms all with queen size beds, on the second floor a master bedroom with a king size bed and 2 guest rooms with queen size beds, one of them with bunk beds as well.

The fourth floor of the Tower has an optional 7th bedroom. Climb up the ladder from the third floor where you have a desk and workplace and crawl into a cozy single bed where you are greeted with panoramic views.
This area is not winterized properly and it is not possible to sleep in it in the winter.
There are 4 bathrooms in all. 2 on the ground floor, one with shower, the other with a small tub. The Master bathroom has a steam shower and 6 foot bathtub. One more on the second floor with bathtub and shower. There is also an outdoor shower, wonderful in the summertime. The tower is five stories high, with a stunning room at the top to look out in all directions from an amazing vantage point.

There is a loft-room with a 65' TV and full cable service. The house is equipped with wireless internet. There is central heat and AC, and there are ceiling fans in most rooms.

The House lies on 3 acres of land in East Marion, New York with 300 feet of beach on the Long Island Sound. It has a 50' x 16' swimming pool, ideal for swimming laps and lounging in the sun.

There is a big rambling yard all around the house that leads down to the beach with a jungle gym for children. Swim or sunbathe on the beach or pool, relax in the shade on one of the four porches. This is a great house for huge get togethers.

Whether it is 6 couples or 3 families, there is plenty communal space for everyone to be together. The House also has numerous little hideaways for when you need time alone to read a book or take a nap. The possibilities are endless.

Visit the renowned wineries of Long Island. Tour the former whaling town of Greenport, with all its cultural charm, reminiscent of the Hampton's in the 50' s and 60' s. Here you'll find excellent restaurants and cafes.

Explore Orient State Park and the local nature preserves. Ferries to Shelter Island, Sag Harbor, East Hampton, and Connecticut are a short drive away. Year round, this is a beautiful spot to visit.

Magical

The house is beyond magical. From the moment you arrive, you enter a state of wonder, curiosity, and calm. Every room has something to be curious about. From artwork, books, furniture, views. For groups, it has so much space to spread out while still feeling intimate. Photos cannot explain these feelings enough. The house is so well stocked. And then stocked again. If you are chilly, a blanket or fireplace is quickly within reach. There is an endless supply of vintage glasses and plates. A Vitamix. Nothing feels pretentious and everything feels cozy and respectful. You feel as if you are in a friend's home, yet somehow even more familiar. The beach has the most beautiful white rocks I have ever seen on a beach. Even on a rainy day. The sunsets from the beach are spectatular. There is only one tv which is in the best sitting room that evokes lounging. The rest of the time, the Sonos speakers play your music on the main level of the house. This house is made for making memories. Enough of the reviews share the details of the listing; it has what you need. And then some. If you are looking for a place to get away, this is it.

The Tower

The history and architecture of the building was very unique and interesting. The inside of the house had a strong unpleasant smell of Lysol. Rugs and floors were dirty and our napkins stuck to the top of the sticky dining table. There was also poison ivy to watch out for around the stairs to the beach. We enjoyed the location and exploring Greenport and the area. But wish the inside of the house had been cleaner without the unpleasant Lysol smell.

Amazing stay

Great experience- the owners use the property which is much nicer as things kept up to date and kitchen stocked with pots and pans etc. I loved cooking in the kitchen. The space was nice as well super interesting. We were there during the remnant of a hurricane so with the lightening and the wind howling it was a little creepy at night. Great for telling ghost stories. Great property good communication with the care taker!

Girls Getaway Weekend

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house on the LI sound, just steps from its own private beach. The view is spectacular and the pictures of the unique, yet charming property don’t do it justice. The caretaker of the property was easily accessible and answered any questions and concerns almost immediately. The house was immaculately clean and perfect for a large group. The consensus of our group was we can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely wonderful

A wonderful rental experience. The house is absolutely stunning, we are Greenport regulars and this was the first time we just wanted to stay in and enjoy the property! We were a group of young families and the house was perfect. Great space and it has everything you could need. This house is very unique and felt like a piece of art. Communication with the property manager was very easy, we hope to return very soon. Thank you!

Out of a dream!

Our group had the best time - this home is just so special! It truly takes your breath away to walk in the front door. The owners have done such a beautiful job preserving the history of the home and the interior is designed with so much imagination and attention to detail. We had a group of 12 with plenty of room. I’d recommend enjoying a meal in the home with such a great kitchen and dining area. Hope to come back again!

Amazing weekend at the tower!

Absolutely loved this house and location! This is the perfect spot for a large group, the common spaces are beautifully decorated with so much character and large enough for our group of 12. Also a few steps from the beach with amazing views. Mary was responsive and so accommodating. Even shipped a box of things we left behind! 10/10 experience all around!

Wow! Absolutely Perfection!

All I can say is WOW! What a breathtaking property and experience. A massive thank you to Mary and Caroline and the whole team. They were fabulous to work with and incredibly responsive and helpful. They made the entire process really pleasant and seamless and were flexible. Thank you! Now, to the house. What an amazing experience. We all agreed: it was one of the most magical I have ever seen. Every corner of the house had something special and historical. I could have explored the place every day for a week and found something unique during every exploration. It was the perfect mixture of old and historic, yet comfortable and welcoming. The artwork, the furniture, the views. Perfection. And outside the house, the property was spectacular. Beautiful manicured grass and rolling hills, access to the water, gorgeous pool and so much more. We were as careful as possible with the windows and doors, as many are quite old, but Mary's instructions were clear and helpful. We rented the house with our friends and family during our wedding weekend (we had a rehearsal dinner in Greenport and ceremony/reception in Southold) and it was the perfect spot - it slept 5 couples and 3 singles comfortably. We didn't spend nearly enough time at the house - mostly just slept there - but wish we had rented a few more days. We never wanted to leave. If I ever have the privilege again, I would absolutely rent this property. We couldn't recommend it more.

A truly magical place

You can’t really find a more magical house in a more magical place. Even in winter, we found ourselves enjoying the beach, which was private, dramatic, and offered glorious sunsets. We even jumped in the water. The house is exquisite, fun, comfortable, elegant and sprawling. Enough room here for 3 families easy. Kitchen was such a pleasure. There wasn’t anything we needed — they have one of everything. Jesse was great, as was Mary, the house manager. A lovely experience. Look no farther. Rent this place!

Can we keep this place our secret?

We’ve been to many places but there really is no place to that us like this one. As soon as we drove up to the house we were in awe of its beauty and history. Our family spent a long weekend to escape Brooklyn and spent the days playing on the large areas of grass, cooking in a kitchen that has everything you could possibly need, speaking around the fireplace and fire pit, movie nights in the large and comfy tv room, dancing with the awesome Sonos, taking walks in the beach and sleeping in the many and comfortable beds. So wonderfully decorated and filled will so much cool furniture and natural light, it was like a dream we didn’t want to end, Before be left, we all wondered when we could come back for more sunset on the beach and calm that the house brought. What a wonderful place that is clean & beautiful. Communication was clear and check in and check our were seamless. Directions for the house were easy and overall the best stays we’ve ever had! Mary was always available for questions and so was Jesse. Thank you for having us and please do let us know when we can return in the summer.

late summer getaway

As we pulled up to this property I was awed! It is very private and inviting. The home is extraordinary and the lush green grass on rolling hills that end in path to the beach. ( The stairs to the beach are very manageable ) There is a beautiful pool and grounds. When you enter the home and explore the rooms it does not disappoint - it really does feel like you stepped into a different era. It was so grand yet cozy and comfortable. We loved it and would love to return

The kitchen was very well stocked. The beds were all comfortable. The private beach and the view from the tower are stunning. The team involved in renting the property were responsive an give very detailed instructions covering pretty much any question you might have about the house, nearby activities, recommended restaurants, etc. I've already recommended friends stay here and my family is hoping to visit again as well.

A weekend at the Tower House

We stayed at the House the weekend of our daughter's wedding at Raphael Vineyards. The house was amazing and every bit as wonderful as the wedding! Family and friends gathered at the house before and after the wedding. It was very warm and welcoming. The wedding party dressed at the house and many of the pre-wedding pictures were taken there. All spectacular! The beds were comfortable, the house clean, the kitchen to die for and the setting and grounds were magnificent. We are already planning our next stay.
