"My only complaint is that the pool for children is very far from the main pool and beach. The property did not advertise the separate pools and it was a bummer as I had my 16 year old daughter with me who did not want to go to a pool with small children yet she was refused at the adult pool."

"A good choice for “affordable” stays in the Hamptons. The place is not “fresh” or chic by any means but it’s very acceptable and half the price of many other accommodations. Over all it’s a good value. Clean, well located and homey."
