About this property

Southold cottage with Private Beach Rights ~ Walk to Kayak & Paddle Board

What a cutie pie! This adorable cottage is in one of Southold's most beautiful neighborhoods. If you like to kayak or paddleboard, you will love the location of this sweet cottage within steps of Goose Creek. Our ocean kayak and SUP paddle board are kept at Goose Creek and use of them comes with all rentals...... Just take a short walk down to the water and jump in! Or, if you'd rather hit the beach, the cottage is centered within moments of the trifecta of Southold's best sandy Bay beaches: South Harbor Beach, Cedar Beach, and Goose Creek Beach. If you enjoy the vineyards, it is within mere minutes to countless North Forth wineries and within moments to favorites like Croteaux, Corey Creek, Raphael and Mattabella. It is also just down the road from the beautiful Custer Observatory which allows for a restorative evening of stargazing most Saturday nights. Some of the loveliest bicycling routes cross the path of this neighborhood and shouldn't be missed. The location couldn't be better from all that the North Fork offers. It's also just a stone's throw to Greenport, one of the loveliest small port villages on the East coast with some of the best restaurants this side of the city. Our home is central to everything you could want to do on the North Fork yet the cottage is quiet and peaceful and has a truly relaxing vibe. It is a super comfortable home in the summer and a cozy refuge in the winter.
The house comes equipped with central AC, cable tv plus premium channels, super fast wifi for work at home, and a large private back yard. King bed in the primary and twin beds in the 2nd bedroom. There is one full bath with tub/shower combo and an enormous outdoor shower that is heavenly! The kitchen comes with all modern conveniences and appliances big and small. The basement holds an extra refrigerator for storage. The house has a convenient combination LG washer/ dryer in the main house, and an extra traditional washer and dryer in the basement. The spacious and private backyard offers a BBQ, hammock, picnic table and huge firepit area for lingering into the night. There is a large patio area with comfy loveseats and chairs.
The private neighborhood association creek beach leads out to the gorgeous Goose Creek Beach and is famous for kayaking, paddle boarding, clamming and fishing. There are benches at the creek which allow for beautiful evening strolls to sit and watch the moon come up. This charming cottage is in one of Southold's most serene areas in one of the country's oldest towns. You will love biking or just walking in this lovely neighborhood that is centered in the heart of the North Fork's oldest and most desirable town.

Amazing stay in Southold
Great property with a large backyard. Perfect for our family of 4! So much to do in the area! We loved taking short bike rides in the neighborhood, day trips to the beach (Orient Beach was our favorite) and s’mores in the fire pit at night. Joy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with!

Perfect Girls weekend get away!
The home has a cozy beachy feel and equipped with everything you could need. Pretty bedrooms with comfortable beds. The home has a lot of windows making the house very bright with natural light. Location is great, we visited several wineries that were very close as well as the Catapano goat farm for fresh cheese and the private Goose Creek Beach was just up the road! We enjoyed the outdoor shower and having coffee on the patio in backyard. Wish we had the time to stay longer to see more of the area. Our stay was very relaxing and we are looking forward to rebooking!

Amazing cottage
Our stay here with girlfriends for a wine weekend away was perfect. Joy was a pleasure and luckily we didn't need to reach out to her at all. The cottage is tiny, cozy, clean with crisp white colors. The beds, linens and extra towels were such a relief to not have to bring ourselves. The location of the house was perfect, between so many vineyards and greenport. I would love to come back to this house!

Lovely stay on the North Fork!!
This was the perfect little lovely cottage!!! Clean, adorable furnishings, comfortable beds, a wonderful backyard! We utilized the outdoor fire pit and had an amazing, relaxing time! We were there to visit the wineries, farms and Greenport Village, and this cottage was in the perfect location for all of that! Joy was easy to communicate with, although we had no issues whatsoever, so we didn’t need to reach out, but I have no doubt she would have been quick to respond. We will definitely stay again!

Quintessential North Fork
This cottage was the quintessential North Fork cottage…cute and quaint! Growing up in central LI when it was still country, and coming back to the North Fork where it is STILL country was priceless and filled with heartfelt memories! This cottage & neighborhood gave me the “long time ago” feel/memories of my childhood that I was hoping for! The central location in Southold was perfect for what we wanted to do. This cottage had everything we needed, and wanted. Well stocked, fabulous outdoor seating to relax with a cocktail, fun bikes for exploring, peaceful Goose Creek neighborhood park with kayaks and paddle board was so relaxing. The outdoor shower was a fun plus after a long, very hot day! Don’t know how I’ve lived without this feature in my own home, lol! Joy thought of everything and is a very responsive host. 💛

Fun Summer Get-away
We had an enjoyable week at this cute cottage. It had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation. The cottage is close to restaurants, wineries, and farm stands and just down the road from the Custer Observatory. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to learn stand up paddle boarding in a secluded cove where I couldn't get into any trouble.

An amazing and unforgettable vacation!
Our stay at Joy's place was absolutely wonderful. The property was clean and decorated beautifully with beachy decor. The backyard was perfect for eating lunch or lighting a fire with a glass of wine in the evening. My children loved using the outdoor shower after a long day at the beach. Just a short walk through the beautiful neighborhood brought us to the private inlet where we enjoyed hours of kayaking and paddleboarding. Fantastic restaurants and shops were located within minutes of the house as well as the beautiful sound beaches. Joy was so easy to communicate with and the check in and out process was a breeze. We would love to return next year!

The property was not ready for our stay. It did not resemble what was on site. I could not stay in a dirty house. Even the outside was terrible. It ruined my weekend. Had to locate other accommodations.

Wonderful, cozy cottage with so much to do nearby.
This is our first VRBO experience and we couldn't be happier. We spent our "mini-honeymoon" at the cottage and made the most of every minute. Joy is an excellent host. She communicated often and provided us with several pages of things to do in the area, and wonderful places to eat. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed to feel comfortable during our 4 night stay. The short walk to the private beach made it very easy for us to kayak and fish, and everywhere you look there is a vineyard to visit and enjoy. We highly recommend this property and host. Thanks again!

Smith Drive North review
As the owner, Joy, promised, this small cottage packed a lot of punch. Very comfortable and roomier than it appeared. The kitchen had everything we needed for a long weekend. If pressed to find a complaint it would be that the slipcovers on the two sofas need replacing. The neighborhood was quiet and pretty. The association beach was a fantastic location to watch the sunrise (bug spray highly recommended though). All in all, a great weekend spot.

About the host

Hosted by Joy Ellinghaus

Host profile image
I've been lucky enough to have had a summer home in Mattituck for over 50 years. To know me is to know how much I love sharing my enthusiasm for the North Fork with others. This area has given me so much happiness throughout my life, it's hard to put into words. First in my childhood and now into my adulthood, my happiest days have been spent on the North Fork. During some precious moments each summer I am still fortunate enough to nurture the love of this area in my own child. When I am able to open up my home to someone who wants to spend time here, I feel it is an opportunity to help them fall in love just as much as I have....it usually doesn't take long.

Why they chose this property

This is such a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. It is gorgeous for evening walks or morning bike rides. The house and property have a very relaxing vibe inside and out. The large private yard includes a lovely outdoor shower, patio with chairs, BBQ, and picnic table, and also offers a beautiful fire pit area.

What makes this property unique

This property is moments away from our two favorite Bay beaches on the Fork; Goose Creek and South Harbor....They are simply idyllic. We can also leave the kayaks and paddle board at the association beach at the Creek which is a lovely benefit. We just walk to the creek and hop in! The creek leads out to the Bay. It can be early morning or evening dusk, it is always a treasure. The Creek is very wide and is especially beautiful for kayaking and paddle boarding. The neighborhood is simply gorgeous and very convenient, it seems to be 5 minutes to everything! Southold is the epicenter of the North Fork, maybe it exists in a beautiful time warp!
