About this property

Whaling Captain Pierson's Cottage

Whaling Captain Pierson's Cottage is at a waterfront property and is a unique environmental experience which is a 7 minutes’ walk from the center of historic Sag Harbor Village. It is the only cottage offering a vast, picturesque, panoramic view of beautiful Sag Harbor Cove from Main Street as well as the most spectacular sunsets. (See my reviews from my other listings entitled, "Whaling Captain Pierson's Apartment" and "Whaling Captain Pierson's Apartment TOO".)

If you do not see the booking availability desired, look at my other postings of Whaling Captain's Pierson's Apartment Apartment and Whaling Captain Pierson's Apartment TOO. Or, if your party is larger than the cottage can accommodate consider booking both apartments and the cottage.

Whaling Captain Pierson's cottage is on Captain’s Row nestled behind the Captain's main house surrounded by nature overlooking the cove. The cottage’s antique furnishings reflect both a classical and whimsical ever evolving sensibility without feeling stuffy, crowded or old. The cottage has one queen size bed in the bedroom and one single size day bed in the living room, self-controlled central air cooling and heating, working fireplace, claw-foot tub/shower, kitchen, private beach access, expansive grounds and abundant parking.

The cottage is ideal for allowing privacy to loving couples, the single visitor or the various types of creative and performing artists who are looking for a haven to relax and/or create. Experience the cottage and nature or just be part of its inspiring, healing, spirit and soul uplifting surroundings.

During the day you may see ducks waddling, bunny rabbits with small white tails scurrying, blue breasted birds frolicking, turtles meandering across the lawn. Also white swan(s), ospreys, ducks or seagulls flying or swimming in Sag Harbor Cove during the day. And at dusk, deer walking through the property after nesting and napping all day.

You are free to use any of the various chairs, tables or benches situated on the front lawn and middle lawn.

Sag Harbor Cove is also where our private beach behind the property is located for water access to sun-bathing, swimming, sculling, canoeing or fishing if you rent or buy the equipment from one of the specialty shops in the Village.

I am most definitely available to give you help throughout your stay. You will be able to reach me by a cellphone call to my listed number with Homeaway/VRBO and/or email.

If you have a car or rent one, there is plenty of parking available on the street along the property.

Sag Harbor is a vibrant year-round village with plenty of activities both cultural and family oriented alike. There is a performing arts theater, gym and spas, yoga studios, art exhibits, festivals and parades which occur throughout the year. There is also a variety of antique, clothing and novelty shops as well as many fine restaurants, bars and local beaches.

Sag Harbor can be reached in 2 hours by car from New York City, the Hampton Jitney or the Long Island Rail Road. The Hampton Jitney stops in the center of the Village of Sag Harbor. The Long Island Rail Road’s Bridgehampton station is 15 minutes to and from the cottage by taxi or car.

Additionally, bicycles can be locally rented and used to explore more of Sag Harbor and other surrounding areas not necessarily within walking distances.

Picturesque cottage within walking distance to town!

Was looking for a great historic place with creative interior design, water views and close to town. This place was perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Say Harbor and the cottage was even better in person. So quaint and picturesque. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay at the cottage. Highly recommend!

Lovely cottage in a great location

This is a one of a kind opportunity to be in your own cottage, close to town, but also on the water. There are beautiful water views and it was perfect for paddle boarding. Paris is a wonderful host - we would definitely stay here again!

Weekend in Sag Harbor

Great location close to the heart of Sag Harbor shops & restaurants. A private 1 bedroom cottage with a view of the water and a peaceful setting. Hosts were kind enough to have the property ready a little earlier than check-in which was much appreciated after hours of driving to get to Sag Harbor. Would highly recommend for a nice getaway. Have everything you need to be comfortable & can walk into town.

June weekend in Sag Harbor

This property exceeded my expectations. Adorable stand-alone cottage, wonderfully appointed and fantastic location a short walk to the center of town. Easy on-street parking, private and quiet accommodations. Hosts were immediately responsive and helpful. I would definitely seek this property out if I was going to come back for another weekend in Sag Harbor.

Sag Harbor Fun Family Visit!

Very comfortable and great location. It’s a very cool experience living in such a beautiful historic cottage. Paris is friendly and knowledgeable. We had a lovely weekend with his recommendations for vintage shops. The cottage was the perfect escape from the City that my husband and I desperately needed, we would definitely stay again!

What a charming cottage! We really enjoyed this well-equipped, air-conditioned, perfectly located cottage in a prime location in Sag Harbor! Decorated with interesting antiques, the cottage is a free-standing structure with gorgeous views of the water. Easy walk to Sag Harbor village. The owner was responsive and easy to reach.

Perfect Sag Harbor Cottage

With a lovely view of the cove at Sag Harbor, this cottage is so well located: You can walk to all the amenities downtown, yet the property itself is completely private and quiet. The host met us upon arrival and was informative about the property and its history, and then left us to our privacy. Always just a call or text away in case he was needed. Back yard facing the water is private, and you can walk to the beach. Bed is comfortable; we slept well. Excellent deli across the street for a quick take-out breakfast. We would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful stay in Sag Harbor!

We had a wonderful weekend in this perfect cottage, despite Mother Nature’s failure to cooperate :) The wonderful and serene location overlooking the water was matched only by the proximity to the town of Sag Harbor - less than a 10 minute walk or 3 minute drive. The cottage itself is thoughtfully and beautifully decorated, very comfortable and spotless. Our hosts were lovely and helpful. Even as NYC residents who spend as much time as possible on the East End of Long Island, this was a very special find. We can’t wait to come back when the sun is out! Thank you for having us.

Charming Cottage

I just returned from this lovely little house and had the best time ever! The living room and bedroom are spacious and nicely decorated, kitchen is tiny but has everything you need, there's a fireplace but you need to bring your wood (!). Best of all - it overlooks the water and it is so peaceful, beautiful and quiet! It's a short walk to center of town. Highly recommend!

Cute and cozy!

I chose the worst weekend imaginable for an escape to Sag Harbor, as temps dropped into single digits and the wind howled like it was trying to take this cozy cabin to Oz! But I stayed warm and comfortable inside, and there were lots of homey touches to keep me from being too sad about not really getting to enjoy the gorgeous surroundings. Would definitely like to return at a more hospitable time of year.
